HUNTSVILLE, Alabama -- It was always a cool deal when college recruiters came
to visit McAdory High. The school secretary would call over the intercom system
for particular players to report to the office."I always enjoyed that part of my high school drill," admitted Preston Nelson, now a senior defensive lineman for Alabama A&M.
One day his name was called. An Auburn recruiter was there to meet him. He was recruiting one of Nelson's McAdory teammates "and they just heard about me through the grapevine."
Though Nelson had that quick meeting and running back Kaderius Lacey went for an official visit, the closest most of the Bulldogs came to Auburn University football was their mailbox, where the occasional form letter and standard recruiting inquiry would land.
Until this Saturday.
The Bulldogs, 7-3 on the season, with those three losses coming in the last four games, go limping but also eagerly and confidently into their unprecedented date with Auburn at 1 p.m. at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
