....what hear ye on your boards about Keenan Allen and Shon Coleman?
Everyone is reporting that Allen is considering all kinds of other places (UNC, Clemson, etc), and that Saban is all over trying to switch Coleman over.
What are your dirt roats (skreets) saying?

No skreets. Just bullshit opinions from people who think they know what's going on.
Allen is seriously considering Clemson because he wants to play with his brother who will transfer from Buffalo.
Coleman isn't being "switched" by Saban. He has not, at any point, been 100% solid to Auburn and is taking a mid week visit to UA. With James Stone rumored to be seriously considering UT now that Kiffin r-u-n-n-o-f-t, recruiting people believe Coleman is next on Bama's board and Saban will make a strong push for him.
All bullshit opinions from people who are paid to lure subscriptions with headlines. Is the truth in there? Guess we'll find out soon enough.

What's interesting is that Coleman has always been considered a "soft commit" simply because he said he'd take visits. Until now, I always took him at his word that he was 100%, but was going to take visits just to take them. But with Stone looking at Tennessee, I could see Alabama turning up the pressure and giving him something to think about.
With this many top recruits, we're bound to lose one along the way...this could be the one (one of the ones).

Coleman and DJ Howard seem to be the two most likely to bail. We'll only know on Feb 3.

Howard definitely. I read the AU Coaches were a little upset with him for the Clemson trip without telling them. I am not sure how good the relationship is now.
-
I don't get the Coleman thing. Why the hell would he want to go to uat? I could see maybe if the roles were reversed, but he WILL play this upcoming season at Auburn. He'll be fourth string at uat.
WTF?

I have a friend that graduated at CU and he follows recruiting pretty close. He doesn't have any inside sources or anything like that, but he seems to believe that if Beasley takes a visit this weekend to AU that we will pretty much be trading out Howard for Beasley. He said this was the feeling of a lot of CU people he interacts with.
Chizadd: All it takes is his coach convincing him that he is good enough to crack the rotation for any team in D-1 and he will start to believe it. Maybe that is why the depth chart doesn't scare him.

As of right now, Beasley isn't getting anything from Auburn coaches. Even though the services list it, I don't think he even has a solid offer from Auburn as of right now. I guess anything is possible, but another linebacker/athlete type is not where our staff is looking right now. They are after tackles and ends, Lattimore, and maybe Ambles.
The only way I could see Beasley coming back onto their radar is if we somehow knew ahead of time that we weren't getting Lemonier, Whitaker, Jones, etc. But obviously we won't know about them until signing day....hence, I don't see how we'll be able to go after Beasley.
-
The only one I am feeling really good and solid about is Whitaker and even that one is not 100%.
I think of all these recruits he is the only one we lead for. I think even USCe leads for Lattimore. Then there is the story of Lattimore and the kid with the hat who has cancer. Read that one yesterday. They seem to be confident they will get him up in Columbia. If they don't, I think the state will riot.
-
From what I heard Allen is still going to Alabama and Coleman is still going to allbarn. The only thing I heard is that Allen's brother may be a greyshirt offer for 2011 and if Arie commits elsewhere Coleman will be in Saban's crosshairs. BUT this could all be crap.
-
Bama skreets --
My guy nailed the Eric Mack situation a month before he announced. I trust him very much and from what he told me, its a done deal. Coleman will get his offer and ink with the Tide. Don't hate me if something happens but if I had a "hotboard" it would be at 90%.
Thing about the skreets? Always an out.
-
And let me go ahead and get this on record.
IF Saban offers Zach Maynard a scholarship just so Keenan Allen stays committed, I'll be uber-pissed. Fuck any player who thinks they are worth 2 scholarships. :hulk:

Another question for the Bama skreets....
How many kids is Saban taking this year? For Auburn, we can take 33 total, because we have 5 to put towards last year. Looking at Rivals list for Alabama, it shows EIGHT kids already enrolled. Any idea if any of those are counting towards last year? They are at 24 commits right now, with Arie Kouandjio and James Stone still likely to sign.
So how many do you expect Alabama to take? Just the 28 max?

They just signed a 3* nose guard too.

He's a big sum-bitch too, 6'3" 330 lbs. They must plan on putting another 30 lbs on him and making Mt. Ivory.
This commitment is more proof that coaches don't care what recruiting services and other schools think. He's a 3-star, and not even a high one, that had offers from Memphis, Southern Miss, Arkansas State, Missouri State, and Morgan State.
Watch for this statement following Ivory's first career tackle, "Saban is a genius at finding that diamond in the rough that no one else saw...first Cody, now Ivory...he's infallible".

Sort of like Marcel Dareus, who was a 3* and had only 4 SEC offers (UA, AU, UT, Arky). Then you have guys like Javier Arenas who had like 1 other offer other than UA, Rashad Johnson who was a walk-on, etc etc. You just don't know. I don't know anything about this kid other than what I saw in his highlight video. Seems to have a pretty good motor for such a big guy, but needs to work on technique.
As far as how many we're going to take, I expect us to take the full 28.

From what I understand, although Bama already has 8 early enrollments, the only ones who are allowed to back-count are kids who signed before NSD. So, Brandon Lewis is the only one of the enrollments who can count back. If that's the case, Bama can only sign 29. I have no clue how many we actually sign.
-
A wild card here is whether Keenan Allen will decommit or not. I think Alabama will have an in-home with him today or tomorrow, can't remember which. Clemson is pushing hard and they have extended an offer to his brother. If Alabama offers his brother as well, I would imagine he would stick with Alabama. But if we didn't, and he switched, I could certainly understand that. Family comes first.

I am with token here 29 and pissed if bama offered his brother as well.

If the number is 28 or 29, then I'm wondering (like I did in another thread) why taking Coleman is a "numbers" thing. The implication from the Bama beat writer is that Coleman is totally sold on Alabama and they are simply trying to make the numbers work. Alabama currently has 25 commits (with the new Ivory kid). So that leaves either 3 or 4 open spots.
Arie Kouandjio is the only one we think for sure is bama bound. Even if they add Stone, that still leaves 1 or 2 spots. I can't imagine there is anyone else on Alabama's board that would be higher than Coleman.

I'm thinking the number crunch is probably going to be more towards the 85 than the 28.

I think you are correct. I think right now the number is around 9 as far as over the 85 limit. The NCAA limit that you can bring in is 25, so that figure of 9 is using the number 25 in the incoming class. So, that means there are 9 guys (roughly, since some guys we don't really know if they are on scholarship or not) that will either have to not make the grade, be cut from the team, transfer, etc etc.
-
Read somewhere that they have two gray shirts carried over from last year likely only have one spot left. Who knows for sure?

Pushed up a flight of stairs....Medical Hardships for some injury that occurred in Park Ball....etc, etc.

Another example of why you are a moron. Even while AU is short 15 scholarship players, Chizik is still cutting people from the team. Get over it.

Barring something weird or a drastic change of heart, Coleman is heading to Bama.
And about the numbers - they will work. It has a lot to do with technicalities and greyshirts from last year (mainly Petey Smith and the term 'LOI').

I just really don't see it happening. We've taken alot of OL in the past two classes, and we don't lose much in the way of starters in the next two years. AU loses 4 OL after this season. But then again, AU might be in for a rough time replacing a QB and RB this season, then having a totally rebuilt OL full of young talent next season. Who knows. But I think it would be big if he went to Alabama.

Of course you do.
At the same time you nonchalantly note that it wouldn't mean anything at all if he didn't.
Pathetic, RWS.

By noting that it would be big if he went to Alabama, I think it automatically implies that he is a hot commodity. Otherwise, it wouldn't be big. It would be big in the sense that he's a 5* recruit, and in the sense that he had been committed to AU and Alabama flipped him. If Alabama doesn't flip him? Big get for AU.
Does that make your vagina feel a little better?

Look at it for second and it really makes a ton of sense.
We have a 5 star commit and top 25 overall. He is taking trips to BAMA and MIAMI less than week before signing day. That is NOT good. Is there a chance he sticks with Au? Yes, but I think its more likely he goes to Bama, especially after losing Stone. It would really shock me if he stuck with his commit to AU. That is the thing with these 17 yr olds. It is very unpredictable but as of right now he is yours to lose RWS. I have never hoped I was so wrong in a LONG LONG time.

Well, I can't say I will be unhappy if you are right. For all we know, he could simply be just enjoying some free perks of being a highly rated recruit. Like you said, 17 year old kids are unpredictable.

True true - very unpredictable. If Chiz somehow keeps him, it would be his biggest move of this recruiting season. And he would definitely deserve praise holding off Saban and Shannon. It would be quit a feat.

Word is he did. Also Allen, his brother and Coleman are going to sign with Alabama. I am not 100% with that just what I am hearing.

I just read this on a website.
"Word is he did. Also Allen, his brother and Coleman are going to sign with Alabama. I am not 100% with that just what I am hearing".
Doesn't sound good for Auburn.

More will be coming out on Mr. Kaos Mrs. Keke. I'll post when I hear more.

he's going to SPuat, I've said that since I'd heard that he was visiting SPuat Wednesday through Friday. Eventhough he didn't get down to SPuat until yesterday. I'd be surprised if he goes through with his visit to Miami. But, if given $.50 per mile from Olive Branch, Ms. to Coral Gables, Fl....I'd definitely go. Now that I think about it, that might be why he's taking his alloted 5 Official Visits that would be around $2,000 in a week's time.

I think he arrived at Miami a little while ago, and I believe they drove there from Tuscaloosa.

I am pretty sure that would mean that he drove 4000 miles that week...unless he took 3 visits to Miami, I am not sure that happened...
Either that or 5th grade math kicked your ass again...

He drove to Auburn, Fayetteville, Oxford, ttown and Coral Gables all from his home in Olive Branch. That's how it's calculated. I also said that it would be "around" $2,000....
Olive Branch, Ms. to Auburn, Al

Auburn recruiting update: Jeffrey Whitaker, Shon Coleman, D.J. Howard and more
By Charles Goldberg -- The Birmingham News
January 31, 2010, 7:11PM
Does University of Miami defensive tackle commitment Jeffrey Brown have the recruiting scoop on a couple of players Auburn has targeted?
Don't know, but he spent time with defensive tackle Jeffrey Whitaker and offensive lineman Shon Coleman when they visited Miami this weekend.
Here is his guess after their visit, according to Scout's SuperPrep.com...
Jeffrey Whitaker: "He liked it too but I think he's going to Auburn."
Shon Coleman: "I didn't talk to him much. I think he's going to Alabama."
We don't know if Jeffrey Brown is a recruiting guru, and he says he didn't get to know Coleman. We do know Coleman is an Auburn commitment and has not publicly wavered from that. His last words: He's "100 percent" committed to the Tigers. Whitaker is going to announce his intentions at his high school at Warner Robins, Ga., at 1 p.m., central time, Monday.
**It's no surprise to Auburn that Lincoln High School's D.J. Howard is considering other schools who have promised him a chance to play running back. The Birmingham News' own Doug Segrest has the latest on Howard this Sunday. Howard, an Auburn commitment, has visited Clemson and Kentucky the last two weekends. He says he'll announce which school he'll attend at his high school Wednesday.
**Auburn is still waiting on word on running back Marcus Lattimore. He'll announce Tuesday night.
**Patrick Swilling Jr., the son of the former NFL great, is a cornerback who is considering Auburn, among other schools. He doesn't have an Auburn offer. He tells his story in this Rivals story from Kentucky. He says he's also considering Kentucky, Tennessee and LSU. Swilling is 6-foot-3, 215, and he's from New Orleans.
**The Birmingham News' revised Super Seniors list will appear in Monday's newspaper.
Scoop: Auburn will be well represented, with four of the Top 10 and eight of the top 22. Auburn, of course, has the No. 1 players from other states (like running back Michael Dyer from Arkansas, wide receiver Trovon Reed from Louisiana, Coleman from Mississippi as well as the No. 1 junior college player in the nation in Cameron Newton). Of course, there's Lattimore from South Carolina, too...
