Hey Beaver I asked you this earlier, but it probably was not worded correctly. Is this the piece of news expected last weekend? Or do I see another piece coming to excite us? Thanks man.
ReplyDeleteEnroll in January, so will he count towards the 2008 signing class? Welcome, Mr Sander. WDE.
ReplyDeleteWell it's great news! We know the Bammers will say it's because of the depth they have a LB and it maybe true but also I believe that many recruits are seeing that Auburn is not as bad as they thought. Sanders should get immediate playing time next year. Now it's off to get CJ Mosley!
ReplyDeleteBeav how has he done so far this season as a Senior?
ReplyDeleteThis is awesome!! Beaver do u have a list of vistors this weekend??
ReplyDelete5* LB Jeff Luc
ReplyDelete5* RB Michael Dyer
5* DB Matt Elam
4* DB Deitrich Riley
4* DE Corey Lemonier
4* LB Travis Williams
Yeah Rocky Snot! Rocky Snot Tennessee!
probably not the place to mention it but I heard that Seastrunk was going to USC twice this year. Have we just lost him or what? I know it seems we got Dyer which I think may be the best anyways but for this O I could see that kid doing some great things. What are the people in the know saying about this ?
ReplyDeleteSo I was bored and I made a spreadsheet with all the kids that were either committed or I was pretty sure were silently committed, plus any kids that Auburn was in hot pursuit of. I was suprised to see that were are almost full, and that assumes we are able to sign a full 25 next year. What I'm not sure about is 1) how many openings do we have for early enrollers in the 2009 class, and 2) does that number count against the 28 total allowed in February (I'm guessing it doesn't).
ReplyDeleteRegardless, I see some grayshirts coming if guys like Ahmad Dixon and Corey Lemonier decide to sign with Auburn. And if we are serious players for James Stone or Damien Robinson (I have no idea) then there will definitely be some tough choices in our coaches' future. But I'm beginning to think that what we heard about Coach Luper saying the staff was basically done with next February's class was good information. I don't expect too many new names, if any to pop up on Auburn's recruiting radar from here on out.
I'm not to worried about Lache. Why wouldn't he want to go visit this weekend, its Cal/USC, going to be a good game. I don't know too much about his recruitment but I really am not worried where he visits, as long as we get one official visit I think we'll be fine.
ReplyDeleteHey guys sorry I have had some serious Internet and computer issues lately...yes this is what I previously talked about...he will count toward this signing class...I will try to get yall some stats when I fix these problems...
