I look at him and see a spoiled little sh!t that's had a silver spoon in his mouth his whole life. How many kids out there are as good or better than this guy but never got a look because they have the wrong last name?

What? Silver spoon. His Dad has coached at Henderson St., Jacksonville St., Samford,
FT, Miami, Charleston Southern, then head coach at 2 high schools. That much moving around is like a military family.

Bo Nix had offers from almost all of the SEC, Clemson, ND, Cincy, etc. #3 rated recruit in Alabama. Coaches play players to win. That was a big win for Auburn.

Yes... Silver spoon. He's Auburn royalty.

Jimmy Clawson also had offers from everyone too.

His Dad is a HS head coach for the past 6 years. What is wrong with that? Grand Dad was a high school coach that notched 300 wins. Do you think that the sons of high school coaches should be barred from playing in college? Sensing some sort strange bias you have.

What you call bias, I call suspicion.

For every Ken Griffey Jr., there's 1000 Pete Rose Jr's.

I just tend to root for the guy that doesn't have the red carpet thrown out for them their entire life. And trust me, a kid who's dad won an iron bowl game will get treated pretty good around the auburn community.

I just don't find it to be that compelling of a story. And yeah, there's probably some guy playing at a smaller school that through the next four years will rise up and show that he's better than Bo Nix and would have went to Auburn had they recruited him.
