Tomorrow will be interesting I do believe. From reading comments from Trooper on various sites, they seem to be thinking along the lines of Christmas.

Just my opinion, but I feel pretty good about:

Williams
Alexander
Louis
Young

The others....fuck if I know.

Hard to tell with LW. One report said we were out and then his coach said we were not out of the running. Who knows.

Saw this report yesterday.

Leonard Williams Down To Two Schools
January 29th, 2012 08:34 PM║ Posted By: Josh Ward ║ Permalink
 Send This Story To A Friend
Defensive end Leonard Williams from Mainland High School in Daytona Beach, Fla., has trimmed his list to two schools.

Williams told Mark Wheeler of Rivals.com he’s considering Florida and Southern California. Florida and USC are Williams’ two most recent official visits.

That means Auburn and Florida State are out for Williams, who’s considered the nation’s 53rd-best prospect by Rivals.

UPDATE – Mainland head coach Scott Wilson told AuburnSports.com that Williams is still considering more than just Florida and USC.

“The report of Leonard narrowing his choices to a top two is incorrect,” Wilson said. “There will be a final process that we will go through that will probably start tomorrow. We will do pros and cons. That process hasn’t occurred yet. He’s still open and thinking and has to narrow some things down.”

It would seem Williams tried to do that when he said he was trimming his list of schools to Florida and USC. But according to Wilson, that hasn’t occurred just yet.

So many of them are but I'm think Mr. Williams here is just a high profile prospect that can't escape the media onslaught on "NSD".

Then I would say that it would have to be televised. As of right now, there are no reports saying that this is the case.

Young to UGA and Williams to UF.

Don't be surprised is Kwon Alexander signs with FSU.  Yes, FSU not LSU.

Post by: AUTiger1 on January 31, 2012, 10:45:51 AM
AUT1's no one give a fuck predicitons:

Jordan Moore, S, 3-star - Auburn

Wednesday
JaQuay Williams, WR, 4-star - Auburn <--I think we get him b/c we offered his best friend OG Will Adams.  Hope like hell this won't be a Mosley/Dyer combo thing.  The Adams kid seems to have some promise though, where I always thought Dakota sucked.

Will Adams, OG, 3-star - Auburn

Eddie Goldman, DT, 5-star - Auburn  <--I just have a good feeling.  Now, the FSU posters on the main-board saying he is ours and something about his real dad fucking up and letting the FSU coaches come see him this past weekend, when momma and step-dad specifically said no visits makes me feel better.  If true and especially since our coaches visited the parents this weekend makes me feel a lot better.

Kwon Alexander, OLB, 4-star- LSU  <--I have heard this dumb shit might take a greyshirt to uat though.  Wouldn't shock me at all.

Cordarrelle Patterson, WR — Georgia <-- I don't know where honestly.

Ricardo Louis, WR, 4-star - Auburn <-- Thought we lost him for a while, but after his recent comments and his not being committed to FSU anymore, I think he is ours.

Avery Young, OL, 4-star,—Auburn <-- Hard to read this kid as well, but I think he ours.

Ronald Darby, CB, 5-star— Florida State <--I think he is all FSU at this point. 

Leonard Williams, DE, 4-star -UF <-- I think we have lost this one and he is going to UF. 

I still believe that we will have a couple of signing day surprises.  Brown may get a late offer if we think Kwon is not on board.  Someone like Quay Evans will flip to us as well I believe.  It may not be Quay, but it will be someone like him.


Friday

Jordan Diamond, OL, 4-star  —Michigan, Ohio State, Wisconsin <-- Pick one, b/c I think he stays north.

Feb. 10

Stefon Diggs, WR, 5-star —Florida <-- I know our staff is going to hold a spot for this kid, but I just don't see anywhere other than UF.

There has been some really strange stuff going on with L. Williams over the past few days.  I wouldn't even be surprised to see him going to USCw, but I still think it will be UF.

I still think we are very much in the race for him, but agree, it has been weird.  The whole FaceBook chat thing and then his coach coming out and saying that it wasn't ture.

I got no predictions.  I will say, I don't see any reason the kid that went FSU then decommitted would have decommitted from FSU so quickly after the hiring of Loeffler if he wasn't coming our way.

We land any 2 of those 4/5 stars, and round out the rest of the class with solid 3s, we'll be just fine.  My one big hope is the Goldman kid.  After that, K. Alexander. 

I do believe that there's a few kids that are higher rated 3s that have been told to wait til signing day to make a decision that have soft offers depending on who above them comes or not.  They have offers from places like MSU, OM etc, but are Auburn's fall backs if we miss on the big ones. 

Another thing...with 10 spots left, there's no rush for any of these kids to secure their spot early and that's a big reason there's been no movement IMHO.

Post by: jmar on January 31, 2012, 08:16:57 PM
We need Goldman. We need L. Williams too but we have ends out the ass. Part of this is due to converting tallish high school LBs to the DE pool. The Updykes got the best MLB prospect in Reggie Ragland, large, fast and can really leap. This is what we need to recruit now for next season's crop. I feel pretty good about our smallish OLBs with "the Stache" running the D. We got in on Alexander moreso after he was injured and if we get him it's because we showed him attention when he needed it most. Is B. Brown still available?

I had rather have C. Patterson for two years than that wavering mutt fraternizer Jaquay. IMO, he's very good, but he isn't any better overall than Sammie (set to start before injured) Coates anyway.
Diggs and Louis are ready to play wherever they land-both full growd and can ball.
However, any one of the three is a plus at this stage of the game.

Ronald Darby will play early wherever he goes and we need him because he's always the fastest guy on the field. I really like our other corner verbals and safety J. Moore will be a nice addition.

I think all of the available OTs are a couple of years from being SEC ready and I do like the OG Adams because I don't think GT's Johnson would want him if he wasn't a human plow. Everyone raves about Young and Diamond but UF and Michigan will be very hard to beat.

We get:
Frost,  Dee Ford and DeLaine back on defense along with nasties Robinson and Westerman with Sammie and  things start looking much better.

And as JR says, there are some others that might swing our way with soft offers.
I'm happy with the fifteen we have but a little down because we didn't keep the momentum after Gus and Dyer went away and the Yeldon switch.
