Alabama is on him now.
Rusty Mansell, a writer for scout, posted this morning that Trooper Taylor was at Ambles's school yesterday and that the chatter was that Ambles is very high on Auburn in the last two days.
Would this suggest that Richardson might really be an academic casualty and Auburn is pursuing another WR? Anyone else seen anything? ...or heard?

Alabama had an in-home visit with him on Monday. He didn't seem to like the looks of the depth chart as far as him getting early PT at Alabama, so I would think it is a long shot for us at this point. Supposedly there have been questions about his attitude and work ethic with alot of teams recruiting him, but I have no idea how much of that is real. His scouting report on his Rivals profile does mention some about work ethic and attitude issues, though.

Translation, we roll 5 deep at WR and he is lazy.

Basically.
Seriously though, we don't lose any starters at WR, and there is a pretty good bit of talent behind those guys. We're signing a 5* in this class that could play WR as well. Thats alot to work through if you're set on starting your freshman year.

Rumor mill says that Amble may commit to AUburn today as well as Mack.
-
The only way I can like this is if the coaches are 100% that JR doesn't qualify. I think with what spot we have left open we need to lock up a S. If we get what some have predicted then we will finish up with:
Mack
Lattimore
Whitaker
Lemonier
Jones
That will give us the magical #30 will it not? If I am mistaken and we have one more spot open up, I honestly rather take a S than a WR. We will have Adams, TZach, Benton, Blake, Burns, Wisner, Stallworth, Gulley, Reed, Goodwin, Kitchens (maybe?) and Richardson/Ambles. Seriously, I know this kid is supposed to be the shit, but I seriously think we need a S at this point. Then again, they may be thinking that Davis, Howard, Kitchen or White can fill those needs. <---- Tis why I don't make the big bucks nor do I coach. :)

Is this Prowler approved, Skreets?

No, I didnt say skreets because it wasnt from the guy(my skreets) that usually does the homework; that pertaining to Ambles.

Not so sure about Lemonier, but I'd say the rest are solids.

Agree. That is what others have predicted.......would really like to see Lemonier in O&B next year though.

We still have 5 more spots after Mack committed today. So we could have room for Ambles even if we get everyone else on the list. Also, we don't really know what the coaches plans are for some of those guys...five of our current guys are listed as "athletes" because they could end up on either side of the ball.
Even Trovon Reed, could possibly play both ways. He'd be a lot to give up on the offensive side of the ball, but when they threw him in at corner in the Army practices, those watching said he was among the best out there. Not to mention....with Adams, Zach, Burns, and hopefully improved Benton and Blake...we may not miss Reed on that side of ball....especially if we can add Ambles.
Who knows....and hey, isn't this a nice problem to have?

Yes it is!

Not to be a Debbie Downer or anything, but I would much rather see Whittaker, Jones and Lemonier than Ambles committing at this point.

Whitaker is ours to lose at this point. But so was Thornton....

I don't think it's going to be a take Ambles at the sacrifice of any of those guys kind of thing.
Lemonier, I don't feel good about. But he's the best on the board, and the one I'd like the most. Scout 5*, Rivals 4*.
Whittaker I think is ours for sure. 4* by both site's accounts.
Jones will come if Thornton doesn't, which it doesn't sound like he is. Jones is a 4* Rivals, 3* Scout guy.
Speaking of, Thornton's a 4* guy per both sites.
Ambles is a Rivals 5*, Scout 4*.
So by stars alone, Ambles & Lemonier are the best available.
Considering we are pretty stacked at WR's and we absolutely need two more DT's, then I don't think our coaches are focusing on Ambles above either of the DT's (or all 3 including Thornton even), or even the DE Lemonier.
I think he's a plan-B. But not a bad plan-B to have.
-
Unless it changed in the last 3 days, Ambles is a 5 * on Rivals also.

Yeah, I had them flip-flopped.
Fixed.

Mike Thornton is, more than likely, going to UGA..."The ship has sailed on him" - Da Skreets
Auburn has room for 5 more players:
RB, Marcus Lattimore ***** (down to Auburn and South Carolina)
WR, Markieth Ambles ***** (open)
DE, Corey Lemonier **** (down to Auburn, FSU and Miami)
DT, Byran Jones **** - I really want this guy (reportedly a 425lb Bench Presser...built and plays like SenD)
DT, Jeffrey Whitaker **** (down to Auburn, UGA and Miami)
As for our WR situation....of the guys coming in, for this year's class:
Trovon Reed (WR...but can play CB if need be)
Shaun Kitchens (WR...but can play TE or LB if need be)
Antonio Goodwin (WR)
Jeremy Richardson (word on da skreets, it's going to take a lot of work by him, for him to qualify)

When Reed went to DB at Army practices, those watching said he was among the best on his team.

Yup, he is extremely athletic. That's why he was the QB on his HS team, best player on the field.

'da skreets' stopped being funny 10 minutes after you first said it.
you read it on scout, rivals or undercover...you didn't hear it on 'da skreets'. jesus.

Nope....I didn't read it on any website.

It isn't often that I agree with Kaos on football related things, but you're making a strong case.

Like I stated....I didn't read "The Ship has sailed" from any website. It came straight from my skreets, there's two people, that I know, that are very close to Auburn's recruiting....

Oh dear God, don't question his bullshit. He'll just deny it and claim he got a text message or some other ridiculous nonsense. The ESPN crawl is a "text message" in fuck-o-world.

Since the post was about Markeith Ambles....
Should be in Auburn next weekend (29-31) for an official.
Some are speculating that he could be the fifth guy in the five spots we have left (if we were to get Lattimore, Whitaker, Jones, and Lemonier). If we don't get any one of those guys, Ambles I'm sure would be even more of a priority.
Can't hurt to add another 5-star if possible. He's Rivals' #3 receiver and #24 overall player.

No doubt. That is a very impressive list to be closing the cruiten season with. Also, Vic Beasley (LB) says he wants to take another look at AUburn per the cruiten boards. I personally think he is a long shot though.
-
I read somewhere that Ambles has been working out with Cameron Newton....throwin and catching, and that they've gotten kind of close recently. Could be good news for us?

I am sure Newton let him know how much he is getting for signing with the barn

what he's getting? He's getting to be an Auburn Tiger....so yeah, you make a good point. ;)

FYI, Ambles has committed to USC. Perfect fit if you ask me.

I suddenly have the theme song to the "My Buddy" toy playing in my head.
-
Oh well. I had read on rivals or espn that he was leaning towards bama. Glad I don't have to make my living off of predicting what 17 and 18 year olds are going to do.
-
Makes sense....the QB will be around another 2-3 years, they lost Williams to the NFL, etc.
At least he's not in the SEC should he turn out to be a stud.

Yup...."Southern Cal is Hollywood and I consider myself a little Hollywood."

Mike Farrell on Rivals Radio (NOT THE SKREETS - lol) said this morning that Ambles did not commit to USC.
He also said that Auburn and LSU were not actively recruiting Seastrunk anymore and that he thought he would commit to Oregon anyday. TIFWIW.
-
I noticed that today too, that Ambles had not committed. What's interesting is that his dad has said that Auburn is still a strong contender, yet only Scout shows Auburn as even a school of interest.
I think Seastrunk to Oregon has been done for a while now. He just keeps listing LSU and Auburn to keep it interesting. Although I will say there is a guy on the Rivals board that swears up and down that Seastrunk is coming to Auburn, but won't be used as a true running back. He said he'll be a screen/slot kind of guy....not someone that lines up behind the QB. I don't buy it, but it is interesting.
-
I expect this statement to be retracted.
Yup...."Southern Cal is Hollywood and I consider myself a little Hollywood."
Unless of course he commits elsewhere. Then it can be pulled back out.

Apparently Ambles is in Red Stick this weekend, so we're pretty much out of that race (if we were ever in it). Probably USC or LSU I guess.

Meh. It'll be different tomorrow. It changes daily with Ambles.
