is it to have so many commits in the top two-fiddy?
Checking 247 Composite Rankings, Auburn's current commits are:
Cam Coleman WR #8
Perry Thompson WR #23
Jamonta Walker DE #48
Demarcus Riddick LB #52
Walker White QB #101
Bryce Cain WR #238
A'Mon Lane Ganus CB #242
There is no other way to build a program other than stockpiling top shelf talent in consecutive years. You can use the port hole to fill in gaps, and yes, sometimes really upgrade a position or two. But that's usually just a short term rental. Most years, you look at these rankings, and hope we slip one or two in there, while seeing the Bama's and Georgia's and THE Ohio States of the world, with 8-10 guys on the list.
This warms my cold, cold heart. BTW, I didn't see Ryan Williams on the list anywhere, and I keep hearing people saying he may "re-classify". Is he a Junior? What's the scoop on him?
