re: Tim Horton to Auburn

The little talent they got was because of this guy and now he's gone.

You should really start by doing some research instead of just running to Rivals. Some of those guys you listed weren't even in Horton's territory.

Tim is an awesome individual and there's not a bad word that can be said about his character. However, he was in no way, shape or form our best recruiter. Anyone that says that doesn't really know what they are talking about. His track record on recruits targeted versus signed was not that great at all. He did above average with instate kids but flamed out over and over again with out of state running back prospects.

I wish him all the best at Auburn and am sad to see him go because he was a great guy and a great ambassador to the school. However, as a coach and a recruiter, I think we got an upgrade in Joel Thomas.

Recruiting wise at Auburn, I actually think he will have more success in Memphis than he will with Arkansas kids.
