Wednesday Is Early Signing Day!

And Auburn could have as many as five players sign and enroll in January. Here is the lastest on each of them:

• Commitment Jessel Curry graduated high school a semester early and will enroll at Auburn in the spring. He will sign at 11 AM tomorrow.
• Former Alabama commit Craig Sanders will sign with Auburn on Wednesday at 9 AM. The four star defensive end had offers from just about every major southeastern school.
• Tennessee commitment Ken Adams may decide between Auburn and Tennessee tomorrow. He first said he would have a decision yesterday but has been quiet since. No time frame set for an announcement. Adams originally signed with Auburn out of high school.
• Brandon Mosley will decide between Auburn, FSU and Ole Miss tomorrow at noon. Right now he appears to have Auburn ranked 3rd.
• Roszell Gayden will sign at 6 PM CT with either Auburn, California or Oklahoma. California was one of only two schools to offer Gayden out of high school.

Sanders Officially Commits!

Former Alabama commitment Craig Sanders has left the Crimson Tide for Auburn according to multiple reports. The four star defensive end committed to Alabama in May but has not heard from the Tide coaches much lately.

Sanders and Bama pledge Corey Grant visited Auburn for the West Virginia game. He is ranked the 12th best defensive end in the country by Rivals and the 199th best player in the nation. He is ranked the 7th best player in the state by Rivals. Sanders is also a four star on Scout and ranked the 20th best player on Scout. ESPN.com rates him a three star (79/100) and the 40th best defensive end.

Sanders is out of Ariton High School in Ariton, Alabama. As a junior he racked up 90 tackles and 9 sacks. Sanders also rushed for 1,057 yards and 16 touchdowns in only seven games. He was named Class 1A All State by ASWA as a junior and was a finalist for the Mr. Football award. As a sophomore he had 79 tackles, 19 sacks and blocked three kicks.

He has offers from Alabama, Auburn, Tennessee, LSU, Vanderbilt, Ole Miss, Florida, Florida State, Clemson and Georgia. He is 6'4", 230 lbs. and runs a 4.6 second 40 yard dash. He projects to qualify with a 3.68 GPA and a 19 on the ACT, which he plans to retake. He will major in criminal justice and plans on enrolling in January.

Sanders Decommits From Bama, Committing to Auburn

Craig Sanders has decommitted from Alabama and will instead go to Auburn according to his mother. His mother sent out an e-mail saying he had mixed feelings about Alabama. More to come!

Catch Up Post

Sorry again I hope you all did not give up on me!  Very unexpected trip to the mountains.  From now on I will post before I do anything like that.

• Big time target J.C. Copeland has committed to Tennessee.  Copeland named Auburn his leader just a week or two ago.
• DeAngelo Benton has reported to Auburn which looks like it puts down the Arkansas rumors.  He told Rivals that he is the happiest man in the world right now.
• Three star Hoover defensive tackle Jeremiah Jackson has named Auburn and Ole Miss as his leaders.
• Ted Roof visited Anthony Williams' practice last week.
• Four star 2009 commitment Reggie Taylor will go to JUCO this season at Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.  Eltoro Freeman went there last year.  Because of this, Robert Cooper has been offered his scholarship.
• Craig Sanders has committed to Alabama.  That is all I will say about that.  Not too happy about that one.
• Auburn has offered Vic Beasley.  He is son of former Auburn defensive back Victor Beasley (1982-84).  He also has an offer from East Carolina.
• West Virginia commitment Jessel Curry is reportingly looking at Auburn since receiving an offer.  Rivals lists him as an outside backer but I see him at fullback a lot of places.
• Gene Chizik's contract offer has been released.  Page 1 and page 2. $1.9 million, nice.
• Mack Brown told Auburn Undercover that Auburn "stands at the top".  I do not take that as Auburn as an absolute leader.  Probably just a top choice right now.
• Solomon Patton has named his favorites at Florida, Alabama, Southern Miss and Ole Miss.
• That's all I have got for now. 

Limo Fest 2009

The "Tiger Prowl" rolls on today in higher style.  Yesterday, Auburn's staff was ripped by message boards and the likes of Paul Finebaum for their standard white limo.  Unoriginal prom jokes were thrown everywhere.  Whether everyone's reaction affected their decision or not, Auburn has upgraded to a white Hummer limo.  Today's recruiting prowl will roll into high schools such as Enterprise, Ariton, Greenville and Charles Henderson after visiting Mobile area schools yesterday.  

Some targets at these schools:

Craig Sanders - Ariton

Kenneth Carter - Greenville

Jawara White - Charles Henderson

Non-Practice Notes

Just a few things:

• Craig Sanders, a top defensive end, visited Auburn this weekend. Sanders has not eliminated anyone but has said his top teams are probably Auburn, Alabama and Florida.
• I am hearing that five star Lache Seastrunk, the top running back for the 2010 class, will be visiting practice this Easter weekend. I find it to be a pretty big deal that the number 2 overall player in the nation will travel across half the country for a practice.
• Eric Mack remained in Auburn all day today and I believe he attended practice. Practice notes will come soon.

Sunday's Practice

Practice today will begin at 5 PM CST. There are four top recruits expected to be in attendance:

• Four star Opelika High School running back Corey Grant.
• Four star Springville High School wide receiver Jeremy Richardson.
• Lincoln High School running back D.J. Howard. Howard currently does not have any stars but ESPNU gave him a grade of 77 and as a sophomore his head coach said he was the best Alabama sophomore running back since Carnell Williams.
• Four star Ariton High School defensive end Craig Sanders.
