Apparently the experts think we lead for this guy. 6'5" 311 junior in HIGH SCHOOL. Don't see many of these man-childs. He can stand flat foot and shat in a dump truck.
We have seemed kinda quiet on the recruiting front (as far as our national ranking goes) but I'm reading more about these big time guys that like AU. I see a big difference in our head to head recruiting with Bama and UGA. Gus gots the mo right now.

Southside-Gadsden's Tyler Carr has picked up five new offers since Jan. 22, but the consensus four-star offensive guard prospect has kept his foot off the gas in terms of his recruitment.
Carr has held offers from Auburn, Alabama, Georgia and Vanderbilt for some time, but in the last 10 weeks Arkansas, Louisville, Miami, Penn State and Army have jumped on board.
"It's going great," Carr told AL.com before Sunday's Nike Football Training Camp in Hoover. "I've been pursued pretty hard by a lot of great schools. I feel like it will be kind of interesting here in the next couple months."
Carr said Auburn, Alabama, Georgia, Penn State and Miami have been recruiting him the hardest recently.
He recently visited Georgia and is set to visit Auburn for the A-Day Game April 19. He's also planning to attend an Alabama practice in Tuscaloosa in the near future.
The 6-foot-5, 311-pounder shared his thoughts on Auburn, Alabama and Georgia:
AUBURN
"I like Coach (J.B.) Grimes. I feel like (Auburn's coaches) are really great guys. They all come and see me, it's not just him. I feel like they all talk to me, it's not just one guy.
"(The 2013 turnaound) speaks for itself. It was remarkable to see what they had done and how short a time it really was. It was really great."
ALABAMA
"I feel like Coach (Mario) Cristobal's a great guy. He's real fun to be around and Alabama also has a tradition that speaks for itself. It's been fun to be around those guys too."
GEORGIA
"They got all the talent and all the tools and everything and I think they're going to put it together this year and it's going to be fun to watch them."
Carr, the nation's No. 9 guard prospect according to the 247Sports Composite, said he's planning a late October or early November commitment. Several recruiting reporters have predicted he will pick Auburn.
"I'm working with my team, trying to be the leader of team mainly, he said. "I think that's the big thing -- focus on high school and the college stuff will come later... I'm still trying to see what all's out there and make a decision from there."
Carr allowed no sacks in 2013 and tallied 91 knockdowns for the Panthers, who went 13-0 before falling to Muscle Shoals in the Class 5A semifinals. He underwent an emergency appendectomy on Nov. 18, days before the Muscle Shoals game.
