'15 AL DE Prince Tega

#404
#404
Jones, John Jancek and Steve Stripling met with Prince Tega Wanogho Jr. and his family on Thursday and there's a small possibility he could reclassify to a 2016, but we expect that one to be an Auburn-LSU battle unless he waits until after signing day which is certainly a possibility. If he does, Tennessee could host him on campus but there may be no room for at the inn unless he's willing to delay his enrollment.

I REALLY hope this guy reverts to a 2016 guy. Not only does he get another year to learn Football in stride, build relationships with programs, and heal, but that way we would have room for him in our class.

I just don't see why he would reclassify to 2015 only to revert back to 2016 later on. He has a spot at AU and LSU so no reason to go back to 2016

The injury kind of makes the decision more difficult I'd imagine. Enroll this summer while still recovering or wait 10 months to become an EE. Tough decision for an 18 year old foreign exchange student.

I would imagine his injury could play a role but thats just a guess.

I can't see him stepping in ready to play next fall regardless. From most opinions he is a high ceiling project that will need some time to reach his potential. Just a thought, but wouldn't reclassifying to 2016 save him a redshirt if he has to sit out next year anyway?

I think most would agree the benefits he'd get by enrolling early would easily outweigh the benefits of another yr at a 1a high school in the middle of bumfudg Alabubba.

Seems very likely he would RS. Still the benefits of a major SEC S&C program vs a 1a high school are paramount

I'm with our coaches on this one. The kid should reclassify to 2016. Yes he has the offers for this year and that is great for him, but as a coach you are looking at a kid who is know doubt a freak athlete but with a very limited body of work against terrible competition. Now he has this freak injury that you can not be sure how he'll recover from.

It's not always about what's best for your team IMO. With the injury, I think the kid would be nuts to turn down a scholarship this year. Take it while the getting is good. As you mentioned with the injury, he has no idea what the future holds football wise. A free year or 2 of school would he a tough thing to have thrown away trying to accommodate one schools recruiting class numbers.

Not to mention a college rehab program. Might as well use your redshirt year healing up and getting better.

Yea, let's be real, the kid needs to take his scholarship at Auburn this season. No reason to wait at all.

"We are trying to confirm this with his family, but don't count out Tennessee receiving an official visit from Prince Tega Wanogho Jr. the weekend of Feb. 20-22. Auburn hoped he would shut things down this past weekend and confirm signing on signing day but from talking to a few people he let them know he would likely visit the Vols that weekend.

Again, we're trying to get in touch with the family to confirm that, but they were scheduled to speak with Tennessee tonight and we know that in their last conversation with Auburn they were leaning towards taking that Tennessee visit."
