Daniel (our first commit) was the Ole Miss flip. Daniel apparently is a flip from Miss State.
Both big, nasty 4*s.

My day is now made with Adams. All is well in my world. I cannot grasp how Gus was able to get this defensive class. I was expecting big time O recruits but not one of the top D classes. Outstanding job by these coaches. Hopefully, they will make it happen on the field now.

Does Deon Mix need to be updated on the first page? Axing because didn't someone say he flipped to us?
-
Word is Bower still has no clue where he is going. Picked up the LSU hat but still hasn't signed on the dotted line and still isn't sure what he wants to do.

I REALLY wanted MacKensie.
Would have been perfect to add a lockdown corner.
Our top four recruits right now: Two DEs, two DTs.
We definitely needed a big time linebacker in this class, but all in all, a GREAT day for a 3-9, 0-8, 49-0, 38-0 team with nothing good to sell.

Arrrgghhh. I wanted them both.

Who are the last 6?
-
Think about this. This time last week, things were totally up in the air as to whether we'd kick ass or even hold on to any of our top targets. I think we can thank the foosballz gods that Malzahn hired, Garner, Craig and Horton because did any of us realistically think today we'd sign:
Elijah Craig Daniel
Deon Sandcastle Mix
Peyton Manning Barber
John Mackenro Alexander
Montrviosity@aliciousness Adams
Jonathan Ford F-150
And we still could have some surprises to come.
-
Who are the last 6?
Maybe Zach Cunningham, Taj Williams, Cornelius Elder will be three of those 6?

So I'm reading a few of the bio's on the link Sani posted to open the thread. You know I'm a heights and weights kinda guy. I like to know how big a fella' are ya'? A few things stood out to me.
Most things I've seen on Jonathan Ford have him at 6' 190+. The bio on the link has a more McProne-esque...5'11" 175. If he can run, he can run....but there's a pretty big difference in a back over 190 and one that's 175. Go eat a cheeseburger and go large on the fries. Go...now!!!
Montravaliciousness Adams, at 6'3" 315, had 127 tackles...34 TFL and 7.5 sax. Holy shit...until you see that Carl Lawson had...drumroll....27 sax. Frick me. I've never heard of anyone getting 27 sacks in one season. That's a high school career for some of the greatest.
-
I like to know how big a fella' are ya'?

Well, there you have it. Gus Malzahns first cruiten class presser at Auburn. I'm very happy with how these coaches came in hammered away. Malzahn and staff came in immediately seeing the needs and addressed. He talked about the type of players they are looking for and that being the blue collar hard worker, something that seems to be lacking on the current roster.
Couple of notes from press conference:
-They only recruited Mix for a week
-Hinted that there could be a couple more
-Malzahn works better off very little sleep.

Well, there you have it. Gus Malzahns first cruiten class presser at Auburn. I'm very happy with how these coaches came in hammered away. Malzahn and staff came in immediately seeing the needs and addressed. He talked about the type of players they are looking for and that being the blue collar hard worker, something that seems to be lacking on the current roster.
Couple of notes from press conference:
-They only recruited Mix for a week
-Hinted that there could be a couple more
-Malzahn works better off very little sleep.
Missed the presser. Been like a kid at Christmas all day. I thought the Chiz era was the best staff of cruiters we ever had and it prob was at the time. But CGM's staff did more in a small window. They may be the best ever. Granted, many of the big timers we got were already on our board pre-Malzahn but we kept them and added more.
He really seems to be a smart workaholic and not just a workaholic. I think he may end up being better than we could have ever imagined. We haven't seen him HC an SEC team yet but I'm feeling like he knows what he's doing. He had a plan from the get-go and it's working so far.

Would you go so far as to call it a "blueprint?"

Here is the feed. I can't monitor it all day. Some others feel free to amend as they come in.
These do not include the three that are already enrolled.
http://www.auburntigers.com/signingday/
1. Elijah Daniel, 6-4, 250 defensive end from Avon, Indiana
2. Tony Stevens, 6-3, 175 wide receiver from Orando's Evans High
3. Dominic Walker, 6-2, 195 lb wide receiver from Evans High in Orlando
4. Marcus Davis, 5-10, 165 lbs, from American Heritage in Delray Beach, Fla.
5. Kamryn Melton, 5-11, 175 lbs, from Dothan High
6. Peyton Barber, 5-10, 211 lbs, RB from Milton, GA
7. Nick Marshall, 6-2, 210 lb QB from Garden City CC
8. Carl Lawson is a five-star 6-2, 250 lb defensive end from Milton High in Alpharetta, GA
9. Khari Harding, 6-1, 205 lb defensive back from Santa Fe High in Edmond, Oklahoma
10. Jeremy Johnson, Alabama Mr. Football from Montgomery's Carver High - 6-5, 215 lb QB

16. Mackenro Alexander DB 6-0 / 185 Immokalee, Fla. / Immokalee
17. Daniel Carlson K 6-5 / 195 Colorado Springs / Classical Academy
18. Montravius Adams, 6-3, 310 lb defensive tackle form Dooly County, Ga.
19. Brandon King, 6-1, 210 lb defensive back from Highland CC
20. Johnathan Ford 6-0 / 192 RB from New Hope (Alabama) High
So...now that it's said and done (I guess?)
I know the general consensus is we did pretty good.
Who did we lose today that we thought we had a good chance of getting yesterday?
Reuben to Bammer (We thought we might get him early yesterday, and good riddance we didn't)
Tashawn Bower to LSU
Mackenzie Alexander to Clemson
Who did we get that we didn't think we would?
Elijah Daniel from Ole Miss
Deon Mix from MSU
~50/50 shots
Montravious Adams - Believed to be UGA lean, with Bama & Clemson possibility
Johnathan Ford - UGA & UT
Also, I think Carl Lawson will be the best signee of this class, mostly off the field, but on it too.
Am I missing anything?
Trying to compartmentalize exactly what took place to get a better feel for our net gain/loss. Thinking overall it was definitely net gain.

I really like this guy: http://www.maxpreps.com/local/team/videos.aspx?gendersport=Boys,Football&schoolid=9cfc1d18-e36b-4df6-9422-d3408df0f97a&videoid=69dce822-ade7-4a7d-ba2e-9232e314f7b2

I think you hit the nail. We had some big gets that you didn't mention and I know you didn't mention them because they never wavered. The only thing I have different is I thought Ford was leaning to us after he decommitted and Montrae was by most accounts a Clemson lean from what I read till the last visit with us. The services had him AU last night.
Coaches talk a lot about filling needs and we talk a lot about stars and rankings. I think they did marvelous at filling needs. RB, WR, LB, DL esp.
If I had my druthers (shout out to Bebes), we would have another big LB or two. A+ class though. And I believe this class will win an SEC champ.

Malzhan on Signees:
Here are some quick notes on Malzahn's comments on the signees:
Elijah Daniel--Great pass rusher, his previous relationship with Rodney Garner really helped.
Tony Stevens--Good athlete at wide receiver. Dameyune Craig helped land him.
Dominic Walker--Big, physical, fast receiver. Chance to be special.
Marcus Davis--He has had a lot of success turning high QBs with running back skills into college wide receivers. Smart, tough prospect, Malzahn said.
Kamryn Melton--Appreciates him and other defensive commitments hanging in with Auburn through the coaching change.
Peyton Barber--Phenomenal senior year, Malzahn said. Would have been even more heavily recruited if he wasn't hurt as a junior.
Nick Marshall--Felt QBs were a need. Great athlete. Very strong arm. Has a chance to play right off the bat for Auburn at quarterback.
Carl Lawson--One of the keys to the class by staying with the Tigers when other guys "went south." Phenomenal player who loves Auburn, the coach said.
Khari Harding--One of the bigger hitting safeties Malzahn has seen. He fills a need in this class.
Jeremy Johnson--One of the centerpieces of the signee class. Helped recruit. Loves AU. The coach said he believes his focus will be on playing quarterback at Auburn, not basketball.
Earnest Robinson--Gus said he recruited him going back to his soph. year and appreciates him staying on board as an early commitment to the Gene Chizik staff.
Kenny Flowers--Malzahn said the juco signee can help immediately at linebacker.
Cameron Toney--Very good kid. Hung in there with Auburn as an early linebacker commitment.
Jason Smith--He's electric player who was MVP of the AL-MS All-Star Game.
Deon Mix--"We just started seriously recruiting him about a week ago." Coach Melvin Smith helped. Roadgrader type.
Mackenro Alexander--Feel like he has a big upside, tough, smart, good tackler.
Brandon King--Felt like depth needed at safety. Physical guy.
Montravius Adams--I don't know if I have seen a bigger athletic guy than the defensive tackle. Garner really helped recruit him to Auburn.
Daniel Carson--Hung in there with AU. Big leg as a kicker.
Johnathan Ford--Lot skill, good hands as a running back, a position of major need.
Cameron Artis-Payne--He will provide good depth at running back.
Ben Bradley--Very athletic, strong defensive tackle who has a chance to contribute early.
Devonte Danzey--The early enrollee from junior college should help at guard and center.

Quick question. Wasn't there a big D-Lineman from JUCO that was considering AU. Toby something or other. Or Jack...or someone else. Just seems there was a 290 lb. JUCO guy there was talk about a couple of weeks ago. Anyone know who I might or might not be talking about?

I looked and all I see was Corn Elder, a 5'11" 170lb "Athlete" that is still undecided. I seriously thought they were waiting on a big JUCO DT also though.

Whew. That's a relief. I thought we'd go and do something stupid like offer the 3rd rated JUCO lineman in the nation, especially as undersized as he is.
Srsly, wonder if there's a problem with him...grades..attitude...

He is waiting until after signing day. No issues that I know of. Just a waiting game. We would take him.

if we get this guy, it's one more to a very long list of players in this class that will either start or see very significant pt. And not only JUCO guys. Speaks well for this class but not so well of the last staff.
-
4* ATH Corn Elder decides on Feb. 20. JUCO 4* DT Toby Johnson will decide on Feb. 19.

I think Elder is also deciding whether to play football or basketball.

So, what if they both pick Auburn?
Do they change the rankings, or are we done?
Also, what's the loophole that says "This is signing day...unless it isn't"?

I honestly think guys like Gabe Wright, Blackson and Whitaker are far better than they've shown to this point. To me, they were a prime example of the overall problem with this program under Chizik. Wright was grossly out of shape by season's end and none of them displayed any real toughness or fight.
The comments from former players and people "in the know" about the way practices were conducted under Chizik, with the lack of hitting or just getting after it in general, looks to be spot on. As I've said before, in going to a practice every year, I was walking around like the kid in the candy store, just giddy as a 6th grade German school girl to be there. But looking back, the fact was....they never hit....ever...other than a little light scrimmaging where they didn't go full contact. And yes, music blasted over the loud speakers at least half the practice. Under Tuberville, I thik I saw him a grand total of twice at practice, and that was usually just milling around and glad-handing...
But...they did get after it in practice. The O-linemen were always matched up against the D-linemen in different drills and they beat the shit out of each other with coaches in their ears, making up new cuss words as they went. Heard a Corch tell Monreiko Crittenden after one play, "Congratulations, you just wrote a new chapter in the book of shit."
I really believe Gus Malzahn knows full well what was wrong in this program and I'm hoping he has his staff on the same page regarding how to fix it. And I think that starts in how they will now approach strength and conditioning and how they handle getting after it in practice. And with a big time JUCO playa and a 5 star stud coming in on the interior line, both 300 lb+ guys, the current "starters" better get in shape and grow a set....or they can ride the pine or hit the road.
I hope that's the attitude.

This guy's a douche that violates the TOS of all the recruiting sites and acts like he's got a drill phone on iOS12.
But I still follow him.
