awesome...DE Corey Lemonier just signed with Auburn. That is the last one for which i was waiting...back to work i guess.
-
Arkansas was able to pull Byran Jones, a highly touted DT that Auburn was hoping to sign. Losing Jones doesn't hurt as badly after Jeffrey Whitaker signed with Auburn though.
-
Corey Lemonier, a top DE and overall #35 rated prospect by Rivals, will choose between Auburn and Florida state in about 10 minutes....After he signs, I think we're still waiting on WR Trovon Reed's fax to come in and then we can call it a day.
-
true that. these are just high school kids and all this attention just turns alot of them into divas. I agree. that can definitely be said for that Shon Coleman kid. Even so, I'll be disappointed if he decommits and heads to Alabama. I was surprised to see that Coleman signed with Auburn this morning, and it looks like UT is going to pickup the Stone kid.
-
Shouldn't be a real surprise with Dyer already going to Auburn. I could tell from recent comments he made that he was going to South Carolina. The kid was raised as a Gamecock, and Spurrier convinced him to stay in state. We'll see how he does at South Carolina. The kid came up to the podium yesterday holding an Auburn hat, almost put it on, and then put it down and put on a South Carolina hat he had hidden in the podium for dramatic effect. The crowd seemed to enjoy it.

so many words with so little substance..

After reading this, I'm pretty sure Marcus Lattimore is going to South Carolina. Congrats to the spurriers. http://www.sportingnews.com/blog/TheRecruitnik/entry/view/54022/sn100_rb_lattimore_talks_once_more_before_decision

Wow, that's interesting . . . Kids say a lot of stupid things. Jeffrey Whitaker, one of the top DTs, is supposed to reveal his college decision today. He will pick between Georgia (Whitaker lives in Georgia presently) and Auburn. http://blog.al.com/auburnbeat/2010/02/jeffrey_whitaker_is_on_the_clo.html?utm_source=feedburner&utm_medium=twitter&utm_campaign=Feed%3A+Autigerwire+%28AUTigerWire%29&utm_content=Google+Feedfetcher Auburn got Whitaker today. Marcus Lattimore will announce his decision tomorrow night.

yeah, i've read reports today that say that Coleman may be considering Alabama and Miami in addition to Auburn. As of a week ago, he said he was 100% committed to Auburn but would still take his visits..we'll see. There are always some surprises on signing day.
-
It is Senior Bowl week here in Mobile. This game sold out faster than any prior Senior Bowl thanks to Tebow. The local ESPN radio affiliate interviews players all week, and they had Sean Weatherspoon from Missouri on this morning. He was very well spoken and evidently was a wide receiver in high school....He's 6-2 250, so I'm guessing he redefined the "freshman 30 (or 50 in this case)" and bulked up with muscle instead of doritos and donuts....
-
Penn State obviously isn't solid this year, but it was still nice to see IU get a Big Ten road win. I yammered on about my thoughts regarding IU's recruiting about 100 pages back, and I still think we'll be lucky to see IU move into the group of 'middle of the pack' teams in the Big Ten until at least 2012. Crean did a great job with the 2009 class, but Watford at 6-9 can't defend talented post players, and there are still no big men on the recruiting horizon last time I checked.
-
What does this even mean? Come on now. Redflash knows a lot about what goes on at ECU and 'USCe'. why else would he assert that Shula would be a good fit at ECU because his encouragement of cliques and disinterest in discipline? Why else would he assert that South Carolina didn't really want Eric Mack to join their team despite the scholly offer? He obviously has strong connections with these schools. edit - dammit gooney beat me and was funnier.
-
Talent alone Mack is worth the hype, but there was a reason why USCe didn't fight to keep the young man. USCe doesn't produce a ton of in-state premium talent and they don't always land said in-state talent, so for them to bid farewell for a talent like Mack is quite telling. And it was confirm by a couple of USCe friends of mine that Mack has both character and weight issues. So since Auburn doesn't have a problem with taking young players with character issues (ie Rollison, Newton), them landing Mack isn't a surprise. I'm confused, Redflash. Per my understanding, South Carolina didn't rescind their scholarhip offer. Mack decommitted and then committed to Auburn...Mack very well may have overeating tendencies and character issues as you describe. However, I'm left thinking your USCe friends may be dining on sour grapes.

I know that Chizik took at least 500k less than what Auburn was willing to pay him so he could put that money towards hiring assistants. Most of his assistants are above average recruiters evidently. I know Trooper Taylor is a pretty valued recruiter, and I believe that was the case when he was at UT also. Eric Mack committed to Auburn this morning, btw. That puts them at 22 or 23 for the 2010 class...Now they are shifting their attention towards signing a couple of 4* defensive tackles...and obviously another RB if Lattimore wants to come to Auburn. http://www.huffingtonpost.com/2010/01/20/eric-mack-auburn-switch-p_n_430042.html

Eric Mack, one of the top OL recruits in the nation, has decommited from South Carolina and will choose between Auburn and Florida. Would be great to see Mack making running room for Dyer and Lattimore. http://www.thetandd.com/articles/2010/01/20/sports/doc4b568ac84735e409050545.txt
-
I don't know if Chizik is threatening their momma's or something, but Auburn's recruiting class this year is reallllly good. He'd be dumb to pick to Auburn though, they already have Michael Dyer committed, the no.3 ranked RB in the country. Although I guess the two stud system as worked in the past at Auburn with Ronnie Brown and Cadillac. They are putting together a very respectable class. I think Dyer and Lattimore could coexist. From what I've read, they have different running styles, and Lattimore is the more physical running back.
-
Top Rivals running back, Marcus Lattimore, has eliminated Oregon and Penn State from consideration. He says he will now pick between two schools, South Carolina and Auburn. http://bleacherreport.com/articles/328656-oregon-recruiting-update-marcus-lattimore-eliminates-the-ducks
-
I don't follow the recruiting too closely, but I'll see what I can find out EDIT: here's the most recent "article" (read: blog post) I could find: That was posted on 12/31/09 yeah, i meant South Carolina, not Mississippi State....not sure why I typed that. I've heard that he has already ruled out Georgia which I think leaves Penn State, Oregon, South Carolina, and Auburn.
-
Penn State guys....have you heard anything recently about Marcus Lattimore? He is supposedly going to choose between Auburn, Penn State, Mississippi State, and Oregon the night before signing day. Auburn already has a top RB committed in Michael Dyer, but there is certainly room for two elite RBs.
-
I have no idea what you're saying here. Yeah, have to agree with SSR. If Bradley was putting up 'sosa-like' numbers, then I don't care if he's hurting your feelings, hendry's feelings, etc.....Bradley's job is/was to perform on the field.
-
link? If this is true, then my head may not explode as quickly. I'm still think Jim is an emotional piece of crap who acted hastily after Milton hurt his itty bitty feelings.

Has anybody read this article about one of Tiger's doctors (also the doctor of 145 year old Olympic swimmer Dara Torres) being suspected of providing PEDs to athletes? http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/news/story?id=4744216
