I was kind of thinking we would put them on one post and comment below but however you want to do it is fine with me counselor.
-
Jaquay Williams showed up at school in a Texas hat. We know he's not going there. Auburn and Georgia fans, HANG ON!

He's really pissing a lot of people off. Fucker is committed. Why do this? If he's not 100% then decommit.
-
These sites do a shitty job of reporting the signings.
The front page of Rivals has announcements that TJ Davis and Nero have signed. Their commitment list does not show that the kids have signed. Which fucking way is it?!??
-
My "refresh" trigger finger is tiring. I did not properly train for this.
-
Word is that Jonathan Wallace just signed with Auburn instead of UCF. #winning

He has a ton of upside. He impressed me as much as Kiehl did in HS. Just my honest opinion. Guy is a winner. Could be a sleeper.
-
Are we reporting signees from one particular site? They all have different shit listed.
One guy on Scout proclaimed this to be the "official" site: http://www.auburntigers.com/signingday/ (http://www.auburntigers.com/signingday/)
If it is, then add: Tyler Nero, TJ Davis, Jay Prosch and Darrion Hutcherson.

JaQuay announced Auburn.
Sad that this is a highlight so far. That we didn't lose a commit we already had.
-
I dont know about LOI but we got a committ from Will Adams (and JaQuay).
-
The bottom line is we're going to have to take a few chances on good overall athletes to fill out this class. I'm just holding out hope that we land 2-3 of the big names left on the board, like Goldman and Williams. If that happens, I'll be good with it.
-
JaQuay announced Auburn.

The fact that a committ announces when he is already committed is bizarre to me.

Following
New #Vol 5 star WR Cordarelle Patterson's papers are in.
-
Goldman to FSU.

As fucked up as the situation is at UT, they have more 5* signees than does Auburn.
:facepalm:
-
Goldman to FSU.

Well damn, I wanted Goldman more than anyone. O'well, now we just move on to the next guy. Gonna be a long day.

Goldman to FSU.
Okay, that hurt. That hurt a lot.

See that is what pisses me off about headlines like that. It gives others chances to ridicule, even when what he said it was like Christmas, b/c you never know what you are going to get. Not that we are getting everyone.

Correct me if I'm wrong but I though he meant we did not know what we were gonna get by that comment?

Yes. That won't stop the fineshlongs of the world from using it against him though.

Perspective:
We have six 4* signees, with three more 4* expected to sign.
We have eight 3* signees, with no other 3*s on the board.
Leaving 8 spots for some big names and some filler kids.
Do you guys remember the days when we were thrilled when we got one 4* kid out of Mississippi and then a bunch of "diamonds in the rough"? Fucking spoiled, most of you.

You have a point. I think it's just seeing UGA, FSU, UF and BAMA get a lot of the big cats around us. Its frustrating. As Buffalo Springfield sang, "paranoia strikes deep...".

Kwon to LSU. Fucking shit man!
-
I couldn't understand a damn word Kwon Alexander said.
Kind of surprised he didn't go to AU. Alabama asked him to greyshirt due to the knee situation, and I'm wondering if AU might have done the same in the end. But then again AU has the room on the roster and in the class to take a risk on the kid. Or maybe he just wanted to go to LSU for whatever reason. In any event, totally did not see that kid leaving the state.
-
Undoubtedly the coarches knew this, because B. Brown's HS coach says they offered him at 5AM. Didn't matter either way, because he just signed with Miss. State.

We had 15 commits coming into NSD. Grey shirt my ass. He's a highly rated LB that we needed BADLY. We lost him to LSU, plain and simple. This one stings. Guess we are relegated to picking off GT and UCF commits today.

http://theauburneagle.com/WEAForum/index.php?topic=44219.0 (http://theauburneagle.com/WEAForum/index.php?topic=44219.0)
**I will be adding to this as I get information**
Some of these are subject to change b/c a lot of the guys that are left on the board are up in the air at this point.
-I believe Auburn adds at least one guy below that I have going elsewhere. It's just so hard to predict a few of these guys. NSD will be a very interesting one to say the least.-
Eddie Goldman - FSU
Leonard Williams - UF
Ja'Quay Williams (committed to AU) - AU
Will Adams (committed to GT) - AU
Ronald Darby - FSU
Ricardo Louis - AU
Kwon Alexander - LSU
Avery Young - UGA/UF
Cordarrelle Patterson - UGA/UTenn
**One to watch - ATH Nelson Agholor....if he signs with USC, I believe Diggs will be leaning towards UF for now**
_________________________

The only 2 I feel we have a 50% shot at now are Young and Louis. Darby would be nice but a minor upset. We're halfway through NSD and we have 16 commits. 16!!
Sorry, but there is a little reason to worry. No sense in sugar coating this. I sincerely hope Chizik has a rabbit up his ass that is struggling to come out.

Philon likely to sign with Auburn after getting fucked this morning. If rumors are true, I'm getting tired of this shit.
-
The thing is, we have absolutely improved this team immediately with who we have. If...and we are 0'fer on the big dogs...we get Louis to re-up with the good guys, our future at WR is off the charts. We've really solidified the TE position with Lutz, 2 from last year and Hutcherson and Parks in this class. On the O-line, the big thing I see is all three guys so far are 6'6" and 6'7" with frames that will allow them to carry 300+ with ease. Don't know how quickly they'll step in. Obviously would love to have gotten the traitor Yeldon, but I'm happy to add a 220 lb. beast with an attitude to an already stout stable of backs. Trust me, Blakely is a bad azz. Plus, they now have one of the best fullbacks in the country leading the way. A year ago, 6'5" Zeke Pike was Elite 11. Didn't have a huge year but who knows what he had around him. The positive is Loeffler. Chizik hired him because he develops QB's, plain and simple. If Pike was one of the best in the country a year ago, I'm betting Loeffler will get him back on track. For all the negative, don't forget the articles on Pike outworking everybody at that camp.
On D...damn, I really wanted Goldman and/or Williams...but I already digress. Mitchell and McKenzie..plus Kriss Frost will make you jump jump from last year, should put our linebackers back on the map. I'm happy with Holsey and Davis has good size but keep in mind, DB really isn't an issue on this team as long as they're coached correctly. We signed one of the best and deepest DB classes in the country last year and a lot of them have experience. Nero gives us more size in the middle and I don't know much about President at DE. Bottom line, we've helped ourselves on that side of the ball but I was really hoping for a couple of impact guys.

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree 100%.
You must expect greatness and take no excuses. To compete in the SEC west with LSU, Arkansas, Bammer, etc... You have to have great talent.
Losing 1..that's ok, losing 2...meh...Losing 5? That's bullshit.

Oh then I can definitely understand why yall are upset...because this is the first time this has happened to a kid that sabbahr recruited.
-
Jonathon Wallace stats. The video did have him running a lot from the gun but he appeared to have a pretty stout arm as well.
Passed for 1,761 yards and 12 TDs and ran for 891 yards and 28 TDs as a senior leading Central to a 12-2 season, making it to the semifinals of the 6A AHSAA playoffs
Running for 28 TD's in 6A ball. I think they just might be able find a place on the field for him.

It's not the first time, but at least with the other guys they had a few weeks to decide for themselves. Justin Taylor signed with Kentucky I believe. Good for him.
But to tell a kid on the morning that he is ready to sign that he won't have a spot this year, that's bullshit. Had he been told last week, I still don't like it but he has a week to explore his options. The morning of? Complete horse shit.

What's more amazing is how many guys 'Bama gets to agree to that shitty arrangement.

What a great day to actually have to work. This shit stinks. Did we actually win a NC last year? How the fuck does this happen even if we didn't win it? I mean, if the coaches are out working, how the fuck can we not fill a recruiting class, and at least land ONE big target? How do we miss on every single fucking one?

You're not just saying that to pacify me, are you? You know how emotional I get. Don't toy with my affections.
-
was a little late there
-
Now, if Avery Young comes our way, it's a decent class.
I'm just hoping we can get that Avery Young kid.
-
You're not just saying that to pacify me, are you? You know how emotional I get. Don't toy with my affections.

Now, come on Darby...pick AU.
-
I'm feeling much better.

Fuck you muthas. Dance with the one who brought ya.
-
I'm just hoping we can get that Avery Young kid.
What about Goldman?
-
Did Avery Young announce yet? I heard he might be leaning to the War Eagle Plainsmens of University of Awbren.
-
Take me off suicide watch, this class may not shape up top ten, but these last 2 made it palatable, and solid. Looking at ESPNs site, there's still a few we've offered that have yet to make their choices. May get even better.
-
Chizad feels less suicidal.

Haven't heard. What time does Yeldon announce?
Seriously, is Darby choosing today?

i like the fact we are leaving spots open for the walk-ons.
-
BTW before Louis and Young we were
Rivals.com Auburn's recruiting class ranks eighth nationally in average star-rating with 3.53
and Darby is up next in 10 mins
-
That's three 4* offensive line commitments, it's time to run the damn rock.
-
Fuck you muthas. Dance with the one who brought ya.
So we're 4 of 9 off the list instead of 2 of 6. That's better. Darby would make it slightly better than a push. Diggs or Diamond? Icing.
-
Haven't heard. What time does Yeldon announce?
Seriously, is Darby choosing today?
What about that Dorial Beckhum Greenie feller? I hear he is maybe leaning to announcing today on the ESPNs and the War Eaglez may be a darkhorse to win his services.
-
That's three 4* offensive line commitments, it's time to run the damn rock.
2 4* WR's as well. We should throw the rock.
-
Hells to the yes! At least it wasn't an 0-fer day. Big one to get.
Hell yeah! Add another one to the OL. On O we have recruited about as good as it gets this time. On D we suffered and missed on some guys. We really need to make 13 count on D side of the ball. VanGorder needs to jump on that.

Yes, I was joking. How could anyone have missed the greatest recruit announcement evah! To DBG!!!

The family decked out in garnet and gold means he's coming to Auburn. It's the ole switcheroo. Ha, kids these days.

Ronald Darby to FSU

Nope.

Ummm I secured Avery Young thank you very little.

All I care about:
Did we fill our needs?
Quarterback needs depth, competition, and potential.
Zeke Pike? Check.
Running back was solid and only needed a bigger body.
Jovon Robinson? Check.
Wide receiver needs depth and true #2 option to open up Emory Blake and Lutz.
Ricardo Lewis? Maybe Stefon Diggs? Check.
Offensive line desperately needs depth, a reason for competition, and guys that can fill in as seniors graduate.
Shane Callahan? Patrick Miller? Avery Young? Check.
Tight end needs someone that can take over for Lutz next year.
Ricky Parks? Check.
Defensive line needs quality in the middle and depth at the end position.
Tyler Nero? Gimel President? Sorta check. We really could have used another big star recruit.
Linebacker needs playmaking ability and depth.
Cassanova McKinzy? Javiere Mitchell? Check.
Defensive back needs depth and a reason for competition.
Joshua Holsey? TJ Davis? Sorta check. Could have used Darby here.
Add in that JaQuay Williams could play linebacker or wide receiver.
This is a really good class. If we had landed Goldman and Darby, I'd say it ranks right at the top with everyone else.

BTW Will Adams is official. Recvd his LOI. This might be the year of O-Line!!!!!!!!
Shane Callahan OL 6-6 / 285
Patrick Miller OL 6-7 / 275
Robert Leff OL 6-6 / 270
Avery Young OT 6-7 / 292
Will Adams OT 6-7 / 280
:jaw: That is a lot of beef
Now we just need a 7' QB to throw over there asses. Holyyyyyyyy Shit the future looks bright at OL.
-
So what do we do with those 5 other spots?
Any predictions?
Will we leave them open and hope to fill them with early enrollees next year?
Fill them with Plan B guys?
-
GF, add to that the signees from last year of Westerman, Robinson, Dismukes and O'Reilly...and we're set at the big ugly position for some time to come.

We give one to Diamond and one to Diggs. Let's see...5-2=3. Okay, we can "Plan B" those other spots.
-
So....I've been out of pocket since about 12:30.

All you really need to know is that Zeke Pike better be a baller, or Kiehl Frazier better learn to throw a ball. If either of those don't happen, then the other recruits probably won't matter, and the sky will have fallen.
I don't think the offense will flounder. Given the OL you guys got, and the depth at RB (Mason, Blakely, McCaleb), plus Jovon Robinson, being able to run the ball effectively should be easy. Let's just hope Loeffler can make (and is wanting to make) use of it. I don't know if Loeffler is a high power offense guy, or a if he has a more conservative style of playcalling, but he should be able to rely heavily on a running style offense if need be.
But hopefully the QB position will get sorted out. Moseley is out definitely (at least in my opinion), so you've got to either rely on Frazier or Pike, or a combination of the two rotating.
-

Save them for Diggs and Diamond. If they chose someone else, we save them.

I can see the Frazier thing but right now, Whinesley is the only thing behind him if that happens. I don't want that fucker to ever touch an Auburn field again...unless he's running out to grab the kicking tee.
-
Wait...fuck...put that list up again. Did we sign a deep snapper? We did sign a deep snapper, didn't we?
What? Damn you, Gene...DAMN YOOOOOOUUUUUUUUUU........
-
My prediction: Frazier will blossom and Pike will redshirt.
Fraizer has talent and all the physical tools are there, Loeffler has a reputation for developing QB's. I can easily see this happening.
-
GF, add to that the signees from last year of Westerman, Robinson, Dismukes and O'Reilly...and we're set at the big ugly position for some time to come.
Christian Westerman OL 6-3 280
Eric Mack OL 6-3 315
Thomas O'Reilly OL 6-3 325
Greg Robinson OL 6-5 315
Next to this class these guys look like midgets.

Now we just need a 7' QB to throw over there asses. Holyyyyyyyy Shit the future looks bright at OL.
With the OL we have, and signed this year, and how thin we are at DT, don't see anyway one or two of those with a nastier disposition don't find their way to the other side of the ball. You can only play 5 OL at once, and they don't rotate in and out like DL.
-
I keep hearing how thin Auburn is on the DL, but I just don't get it.
Jeff Whitaker will be a JR
Kenneth Carter will be a JR
Gabe Wright will be a SO
Angelo Blackson will be a SO
Devaunte Sigler will be a RFR, I believe
Jabrian Niles will be a RFR
Tyler Nero will be an incoming FR
...and that's just the interior line
The DE's might be a little light on depth, but not by much
Nosa Eguae will be a SR
Dee Ford will be a JR
Corey Lemonier will be a JR
Craig Sanders will be a JR
Justin Delaine will be a SO
Keymiya Harrell will be a RFR
Gimel President will be an incoming FR

We're pretty good at DE, in fact real good. I say "thin" because they didn't produce much last year. Could one turn in to the next Fairley? I hope so, but I'm basing on their performance last season. It was not good. They got shoved around pretty good, but they were young too.

Completely agree. One of those "truths" that get repeated enough to take root. The only glaring needs for this class were QB, OL and LB.
-
At first, I was a bit aggravated at losing out on so many recruits, especially those that were considered heavy Auburn leans. As GF pointed out, this years OL class are f'n behemoth sized freaks. Auburn got some nice players at the skilled positions too. Overall, this is a solid recruiting class.
-
Completely agree. One of those "truths" that get repeated enough to take root. The only glaring needs for this class were QB, OL and LB.
and I think we can all agree that the OL spots are getting pretty full now.
QB...meh, maybe the late addition will help with the depth a little, and Pike will be a good one.
LB...Whiskey Tango Foxtrot? Little Dicky has 600 linebackers sitting the bench every year and another 300 lining up to sit the bench, and Auburn can't get 3 or 4 decent ones a year to commit?

All the more reason to move Owens and Sanders back there with Rah Rah, Frost and others. I would expect to see a hard push for LB's in next years cruiten class.

FYI...thin and solid do not mean the same thing.
The DL was definitely on the weak side last season, but most of the guys playing on the interior were freshmen and sophomores that have not completely physically developed at their positions, plain and simple. These guys were all 3, 4 and 5 star guys, so the talent should be there.
The LB corps had a few 3 and 4 star guys that signed last year and should be ready to start contributing in 2012 hopefully, but there are also 3 LB positions vs. 2 interior line spots that have to be filled with a quality 2-deep.

The LB corps had a few 3 and 4 star guys that signed last year and should be ready to start contributing in 2012 hopefully, but there are also 3 LB positions vs. 2 interior line spots that have to be filled with a quality 2-deep.
Not going to argue semantics of "thin talent" vs "thin numbers". to MAH toe/to MAY toe.
Also agree, the bigger need was/is LB, but it all starts up front. You'd be surprised how much LB play improves with great DT play.
Agree we were young at DT too, but I expected better play out of Whitaker, and at 6-4 312, and being a Soph that got lots of playing time in 2010, there's room for doubt until he proves himself. Not saying he's completely sucked, but showed no signs of being a game changer, or really striking fear in the heart of any opposing OL. Jamar Travis is a 4 star DT Sr. to be. What's he done?
DT and LB have to be a priority next year.

Oh...and Clay Finklestein will make us forget all about Wade Christopher.

I don't think that's a semantic argument at all.

Completely agree.
