Come on folks, signing day is a week away. Give me something here. Don't leave me hanging. We've still got 9-10 spots to fill and I want some commitments today. Any news on who we can expect? Work with me, people.

I hearby commit to Auburn. I give myself 5 Pearly Whites and a Dixie Cup as the worst prospect at my position (I prefer doggystyle, but I can be a long snapper too). I'm also a piss yourself slow guy, but I make up for it by being a tremendous spotter in the weight room.

I'll commit.
If you glue a ring to the ball and put a volcano in the end zone, I will get that fucker there one way or another.

Assuming that no collegiate defense has signed a Nazgul or orc recently, I should be able to shorten the drives a bit.

Looks like he just had his visit to UF. Any chance we land this guy? Great size for a DE. Especially a freshman.
-
My expert opinions on where these kids go is as follows:
Avery Young - Auburn (thanks to our resident bagman)
Eddie Goldman - Auburn (thanks to the stache)
Arik Armistead - Cal
Stefon Diggs - Florida
Kwon Alexander - LSU
Leonard Williams - Auburn

Has Arik changed on Cal? Last week, he or maybe his brother said Cal was out of the picture. Think if we landed him and Goldman. Holy fucking inside terrors Batman. Whitaker, Blackson, Wright, Goldman, Armstead....

I think that was him but I'm not sure either. As far as Goldman goes, we're in a heated battle with bama.

Oops...I meant Oregon for Armistead.
Also, latest news is not as good on the Goldman front. It looks like FSU after all for him.

I'm starting to really dislike Jimbo. That fucker, how dare him.
Although, if Goldman loses a star b/w now and next week, you can bet your ass that he is Auburn bound.

No...you were wrong on Cal and you are worng on FSU.
At least that's my logic. We do need to turn one or both those big guys. Time for the stache to take control.

Phillip Marshall seems to think Auburn is a very close second in the Goldman sweepstakes. He will announce at 11:00 on NSD.

I saw something on Rivals on where their "experts think the kids will land". None of them gave AU a chance, even on Avery Young. Of course they usually don't and when Auburn pulls a kid, they say they knew AU had a chance all along.

The thing that makes me think Armistead won't choose Auburn is that he wants to play Bball too does he not? How we gonna sell him on playing Bball at one of the worst hoops programs in the country?

That's just it. He gets immediate playing time. Like Sir Charles said, If you want to play, find a school that sucks.

Auburn just built a new arena...we'll rename it The Armstead Coliseum. I feel that Coach Barbee has the Bball program headed in the right direction, and that Auburn will get into the NCAA Tournament within a couple years.

RT @LauraMcKeeman: Seriously watch #Auburn for 4-star Beniquez Brown. Need for RBs. Brown likes new AU OC Loeffler's offense. More soon on http://t.co/WMjGmD5z (http://t.co/WMjGmD5z)

If this is the same Laura with Fox Sports/Scout that I just heard on the new Baribeau/Scarbo show, she talked about him a lot. In fact, she named several 4 and 5 star players that she thinks Auburn is very solid on. Including the Armistead Brothers. Believes there may be a few NSD Auburn surprises. In fact, after listening to her, if we land a quarter, or 3/8ths of the 4 and 5 star players she mentioned and round out the class with solid 3 stars, we'll easily finish in the top five.

I gotz no skreetz, but I feel that we are going to surprise some folks come Feb 2.

If you look on Rivals at the kids with offers from Auburn that are left uncommitted, and their interest in other schools who have near full classes, it won't be such a surprise IMO.
This scout/foxsports chic says the Armistead brothers want to play in the SEC, and probably would like to go to bammer, but bammer is full. Says ND is on the outskirts, and Auburn has a pretty good shot at them.
Plus kids like Jeremy Richardson from last year that are in Comm. College that are still strong with AU.
I don't know what they're telling kids about Loeffler, or what Loeffler is telling croots, but I think they can generate some excitement there despite the doubt in some fan's minds.

I see you have been having regular lunch dates with Chizad.

He's got to be in his 5th year at JC though, right?

Not to be a stickler but his finalists are
Finalists (alphabetical): Alabama, Auburn, Florida State
Aren't those all down south in relation to DC?

Yes, but his dad was raving about Chizik and the coaching staff. I was really referring more to the writer's predictions though. Everyone else is saying he's almost a lock to FSU, and this guy says most likely Auburn.

Here, lets make it easier.
Uncommitted: No. 17 Eddie Goldman wants to play down south
Defensive tackle will end up in the state of Alabama or Florida.
Wednesday, January 25, 2012
By: Jon Buzby | MaxPreps.com
Uncommitted: Eddie Goldman
High school: Friendship Collegiate Academy (Washington, D.C.)
Position: Defensive tackle
Size: 6-foot-4, 315 pounds
Tom Lemming's Top 100: No. 17 (No. 2 DT)
Finalists (alphabetical): Alabama, Auburn, Florida State
Eddie Goldman is the first to admit he doesn't like talking to reporters. And who can blame him? After all, he does all his talking on the field. And not with his mouth.
Goldman is a ferocious defensive tackle who has a first step that would impress Michael Jordan.
"His first step is very explosive," Friendship Collegiate coach Aazaar Abdul-Rahim told MaxPreps. "He has great ‘twitches' as they say. Even at the college level he'll be one of the quicker guys for his size and explosiveness."
To what college those twitches take him to remains to be seen. Goldman, who recorded 42 tackles and 15 sacks his senior season (33 career sacks), was in no rush to commit to any of the more than 50 scholarship offers he received. Instead, he wanted to be thorough during the recruiting experience.
"It is fun, but it gets repetitive at times," Goldman told MaxPreps shortly after returning from an official visit to Florida State. "You hear the same things and coaches ask the same questions. It can get annoying, but that comes with the territory. You can't just pick a school randomly; you have to take the time to pick out the pros and cons."
Goldman made an official visit to Auburn — where he also earlier made an unofficial visit — and had the opportunity to attend the Auburn vs. Alabama game. Despite seeing up close one of the greatest rivalries in college football on the field, Goldman's father, Eddie Muhammad, was more impressed with what he felt off it.
"You feel like it's part of the family," Muhammad told the Washington Post. "It is a business trip, don't get me wrong, but it feels like a family. It felt like much more of a warm reception. Gene Chizik is a straight shooter and telling you how it is. .?.?. You can't say enough positive things about the coaching staff."
Goldman's first scholarship offer came from his home-state Terrapins. But in the end, the University of Maryland did not make the final cut.
"Eddie has always had his nose toward the south," Abdul-Rahim said. "I don't think it was anything Maryland did wrong, it was more just where he wants to go."
Abdul-Rahim said Goldman will announce his final choice on Feb. 1, and that his star player has not yet reached a final decision.
"He is taking into consideration the coaching pedigree of the defensive line coach, potential playing time, the depth chart, and an overall feel for the school," Abdul-Rahim said.
Here's what we are thinking:
Florida State (doubtful): Compared to his other two more-likely choices, Florida State is like a minor league team.
Alabama (possibility): Goldman raved about Sal Sunseri during the recruiting process, but the former Tide assistant coach recently rolled to the defensive coordinator position at Tennessee.
Auburn (bank on it): The defensive linemen on the depth chart are young and not entrenched into the starting lineup, which means Goldman has a shot to make an impact quickly.
He made two visits to Auburn, and his father publicly raved about the Tigers' coaching staff. Goldman turned down opportunities to play for several high school football powerhouses and instead chose to play at a school that didn't have its own football field and used traffic barrels as practice dummies. Why? "Because I trusted the coaches," he said. His family clearly trusts the coaching staff at Auburn.
Final take: MaxPreps recruiting expert Tom Lemming says of Goldman: "I'm convinced he'll become an impact player at the next level. This guy gets off the ball like no one's business, is quick as a cat, has super strong hands, and dominates the point of attack."

Will everything stay quite until NSD, or are we expecting a commitment or two to be annouced before then?

For any of these other top prospects to land at bammer, some of their current class will have to get processed, or not qualify.

Could see a commit flip to Auburn from G Tech come Monday along with his buddy Jaquay Williams
Will Adams OL

My guess is we get a CB, S, DE, two OL, one more LB and one to two WRs along with former commit Jeremy Richardson to close the class from the names below.
DT E.Goldman WR Diggs, Patterson or Louis
DE LWilliams OL Kozan, Adams or Young
LB K.Alexander, B. Brown
S J. Moore
CB R. Darby
That probably lands us top 15, maybe a little higher and of course any combination with Goldman and or Diggs could really make a difference.
