The Year of the Tigers

Unless you have been under a rock in the middle of the desert you know the type of season Auburn had this year. Whether it is because of Cam Newton or because of the National Championship, Auburn has been in the media all year. Well if a great season wasn't enough, the recruiting showed because of it.

The reason I really like Auburn's class is because of all the areas in which they improved, especially on the defensive lines and offensive lines. I think they also improved at the skilled position with a couple of underrated athletes.

My favorite of this class is linebacker Kris Frost. This high school wide receiver has the speed and skill set of a safety, but all the makings of an NFL caliber linebacker. Kris is excellent in passing situations which make him a versatile option that never needs to come off the field. With added coaching on solely the defensive side of the ball the sky truly the limit for Kris.

Another underrated threat I love is Quan Bray. This athlete who will play running back at the next level is an amazing athlete that can make an immediate impact at any spot on the field. I say just get the ball in his hands and watch out. The biggest thing for Auburn is that this is the perfect type of offense for Quan's abilities. The Auburn offense always seems to adapt to its talents! I see Quan having an immediate impact from day 1.

In the end I think that the biggest improvements are creating depth on the offensive and defensive lines, while continuing to attract athletes to fill other positions. To me this formula is the key to continued success in today's college world.
