Luper was the guy who brought Rollison to Auburn. He was considered an OK State lean for most of the recruiting process, then switched to Auburn after Luper went there.
But I don't think Rollison will be an off the field distraction (unless he just struggles academically). On the other hand, I think David Oku (another Luper target) is a total mess, but Luper still went after him hard (and probably kept AU as one of Oku's final three schools).
I'm not criticizing Luper for recruiting these guys. They are top talents with lots of offers, but they don't really show that Luper is committed to bringing new types of guys to the Auburn program.

Keys - good points. Rollison is in by the way. My point originally was that Luper, as well as the rest of the staff, are trying to change the culture - getting some much needed life in the program that has been missing for 3 years now. He is coming up with great ideas as far as recruiting, and right now Chizik and Luper in particular are really being hard on the guys, essentially weeding out the ones that either 1)they don't think fit in with the current system or 2)aren't buying into the system, or 3)just aren't good enough in their opinion. I think a year down the road is when we're gonna really see the fruits of this staff's labor, both on the recruiting side as relationships are built with instate and surrounding area coaches/principals, as well as on the field as the systems, both offensively and defensively. This year we're gonna struggle and I can only hope to win 1 of the UGA, LSU, and UA games. I really think 8-4 would be a huge "win". 7-5 more likely. Ya'll have it all this year. But I'm sure it'll be another nailbiter between us two again, regardless of the situation. LSU VS AU gives me a big case of heartburn EVERY YEAR!
