I don't get why any top flight WR would sign w/ Auburn.
Prior to this year you could have easily said the same thing about LSU. Toliver, Randle, Sheppard (even though he wasn't recruited as a WR) as well as other WR were at times largely forgotten in the LSU offense. Randle was the #1 WR in the country and had to watch guys like AJ Green and Julio Jones have great careers, while he was barely a blip on the radar until 2011.
AU doesn't throw it much now, but I'm sure thats due to a first year QB who they don't have a ton of confidence in throwing the ball. Believe me, I am no Auburn fan but I'll give Malzahn his due as a great offensive mind. There's no doubt that he'll find a way to get Williams the ball next year. The sigings of Dupree, Quinn and Noil would soften the blow significantly, but it sucks to see a great player go to an SEC rival.

Not exactly. We threw the ball a lot more than Auburn, but weren't terribly effective. Still, we threw it. Also, AJ Green and Julio Jones have since shown themselves to be superior talents.

I love Rueben, but comparing him to Julio Jones and AJ Green is kinda silly at this point. You are talking about 2 of the top 5 WRs in football. Julio didn't blow up in college, his combine made his draft position. Julio and Rueben had almost identical stats as Sophomores.
