Worth noting, Volquest, the Tennessee site that reported this was wrong.
Folston has denied that he committed to Auburn...as of now...

Nice use of alliteration...

Just another meaningless aside...hijack....whatev..
I was looking for some stuff on Folston and pulled up the original link on the thread to Scout. Clicked on team rankings and AU is currently 23rd, according to Scout. Spare me the "rankings don't matter" speech. I tend to think they do in a couple of ways. First, if you're consistently in the top of Rivals/Scout/247...whoever..it means you're getting a shit load of good players. No they don't all pan out but being consistently up there means you're getting your fair share of top talent. Then, it's up to coaching, as became so painfully obvious the past two seasons.
Second, these kids pay attention to this stuff. They know where the teams they're considering are. A lot of kids are looking for immediate playing time. I believe most of the big timers are looking for that but at a program that's heading upward.
So, how does Scout look at our commits and determine we're currently 23rd? By being the only service to rate Lawson a 4 star. By rating the #1 JUCO RB in the nation, who rushed for 3,000 yards...a 2 star. By rating the #1 JUCO guard in the nation....a 2 star. You say they sometimes don't rate JUCO guys? They do have Ben Bradley a 4 star along with Nick Marshall. The #1 JUCO running back in the nation is a 2 star? Have you loss yo damn mine?
Yeah, I know it probably doesn't mean a damn thing....but really? A 2 star?

If we finish like I think we may finish...I won't give a fuck what our rank will be. We will have filled some nice holes and have some guys coming in that can help immediately...

FWIW--I was overlooked by every major Div 1 college in the country coming out of HS. Every minor one, in fact. And not even ranked on the services. Some guys just slip through the cracks.

I agree and I think I've just lost all patience with the negative press. Not that Scout rankings are negative press... Just ready to get some real positive news that says we're headed back. Here's my real Debbie Downer moment. Talking to a fellow AU fan this morning. We agreed AU has a good shot at closing on some big time targets and turning this class into maybe the surprise of college football. I really believe they do.
But...we were both trying to figure out where the artillery shells would be launched from if that happens.
"Auburn signs top 5 class. Suddenly back in the SEC West mix."
In other news, rumors have surfaced of pictures floating around of Head Coach Gus Malzahn's wife in a sauna with two dobermans, a box of dog biscuits and a pitcher of pina coladas. When contacted, NCAA spokesman, Mal Sabinowski, says they do not comment about ongoing investigations. :facepalm:
