Sorry if you dont like my posting, thats what the ignore button is for. I encourage you to use it.

I am curious though, do you know BB personally? Are you guys friends? If not, then what makes you so sure he knows what he is talking about? Many people on here have claimed all kinds of things. I mean its a message board you know.

Pretty decent offer list. Auburn, Ole Miss, Alabama, Florida. Don't put too much stock in stars

Is it true that you never train legs, but instead, go for extra tricep kickback work?

That's the rumor anyways.

Let's hope he's better than Moseley. Moseley is good helping out on the run, but his pass coverage is below average.

I eat Ice cream and apple fritters all day. 😎😎😎😎😎

Shout out to this Bama kid though. A lot of athletes get overlooked in this state. That's the level of 3 star players that Saban can overlook or pick up easily. Kid went to Georgia and became a hot commodity.

We can trash the staff for a lot of things, but one thing is true, they've shown the ability to spot and evaluate talent. They just haven't done a great job of developing it. I can think of very few prospects that they've just completely wiffed on who had no business being here. They haven't developed a lot, but they've spotted a lot of talent. Many times, we're the first big school to offer a recruit before they completely blow up, hence this kid.

Also, I feel like this kid is gonna be lining up to Nigel Warrior at S in a couple years.

Nope I don't know him. I do know when someone is talking out there ass though. He seems knowledgeable in what he post. Especially when it comes to dbs. I have no need to block you I don't run from things that bother me. I just wish every thread I opened didn't have you starting drama with someone.

Ole miss folks apparently interviewed His HS coach Probst after they offered him last week. He said kid is def an SEC player. Sub 4.5 speed. Can play corner but also thinks he could be a Saftey . Also is a return specialist. Sounds like a typical guy Butch likes to recruit. A kid with position versatility and special teams ability

"A one time Louisiana Lafayette commitment, Shamburger moved from Alabama to Colquitt County High School, one of Georgia's top programs, and saw his stock go up throughout the fall. In recent weeks he picked up offers from both Ole Miss and Tennessee.

Even before making his way to Tennessee, Shamburger had high expectations about Tennessee and the Vols did more than just meet them.

"My coaches spoke highly of them and they said I would love the atmosphere, and I did. It was my first visit up here and I'm on cloud nine right now," Shamburger said. "It's amazing. It wasn't even that big of a game, Tennessee Tech, and it was amazing. It was pretty overwhelming.

"I talked to coach Butch and he made me feel like I was at home. Coach Butch, coach (Tommy) Thigpen and coach (Willie) Martinez, I loved it all. "We clicked because I love their enthusiasm about the game. I love their passion for the game. They showed me they have the will to win," Shamburger said. "They showed me I can come in and earn playing time and do something special and that's the key."

Ole Miss and Auburn were the two teams Shamburger was considering along with the Vols. Shamburger said that, again, his move across the state line to play for Colquitt County helped his stock tremendously. "I always believed in myself but no one wanted to take that chance on me because I didn't play against big schools and big-time competition. Then, they saw me play and they trust my coaches."

Nah...this kid looks pretty good. Eman was always going to be a hard project. I just wish we could pull some bona fide great CBs. For the record I don't think Wade is as good as his rating, and I don't think Shamburglar is as bad as his. But neither one would make us forget Cam.

Osborne could develop into a good man coverage player. Would love to see top tier DB and QB coach join the staff at UT. Martinez is simply lacking IMO when it comes to developing players that have to cover deep ball. Cornerback requires great athletic ability and we need to recruit those types of players. I thought that was what we had in mind with Tyler Byrd.

Theodore HS head coach Eric Collier: "Shawn Shamburger is an SEC corner. He’s got the best hips I’ve ever seen in high school. He has great closing speed and great ball skills. He is physical and will come up and tackle you. He’ll be a great player wherever he chooses to go."

Clocking a time of 4.47 seconds in the 40-yard dash, recording a broad jump of 10 feet, two inches and a vertical of 40 inches, Shamburger’s physical attributes make him an intriguing cornerback prospect for coaches to recruit. That was the case on Tuesday as Auburn’s coaches put him through the paces, something Shamburger said was a great experience.

“It was nice,” Shamburger said. “Any time you can get one-on-one with the defensive back coach at a major school it’s kind of overwhelming. The fact that it was Coach Crime (McGriff), he’s been in the league and knows what he’s looking for. When I got the offer it immediately hit my mind that maybe I could do something there because he knows what he’s looking for and he knows what the league (NFL) is looking for because he’s been on that side.”

Anytime you can get your foot in the door recruiting Colquitt Country players is a good thing. They are a South GA. powerhouse with lots of D-1 players.

Doing some quick research on that program took my down an entertaining rabbit hole. Their coach is Rush Propst. I'm sure these stories circulated when we signed John back in 2010ish but I missed them...wow there are crazier story lines in that wiki than HBO's Vice Principals
