Just To Keep Auburn Humble...

Rivals has dropped Ed Christian from a four star to a three star.

Ed Christian Commits!

Big time offensive lineman Ed Christian has committed to Auburn! Christian took his official visit to Auburn this weekend and came away very impressed. He was previously committed to Florida State but de-committed after visiting Auburn for the Ball State game.

Christian, a 6'5", 280 lb. offensive lineman out of Valdosta, Georgia, says he pretty much knew he would be an Auburn Tiger after his first visit but decided to come back for an official. He is Auburn's 19th commitment in the 2010 class. He is a part of the Atlanta Journal Constitution's Super 11 for the best players from the state of Georgia.

Rivals rates him as a four star and the 29th best offensive tackle in the nation. Scout rates him at three stars and the 17th best tackle. He also had offers from Alabama, Clemson, Florida State, Tennessee and South Carolina, among others.

Phillips Leaves and Other Notes

Sorry I have not been updating very often lately.

• Rivals is reporting that offensive lineman Aubrey Phillips has left the team and Auburn. He suffered a heat related illness.
• They are also reporting that Philip Pierre-Louis could see action at receiver this weekend.
• Auburn worked indoors today due to large amounts of rainfall.
• Auburn seems to be preparing for Randall Cobb to contribute greatly for Kentucky this weekend. He started the last four games at quarterback of the season last year.
• There are still tickets available for Saturday night's game.
• Auburn Undercover is reporting that visitors this weekend include Ed Christian (official), Michael Thornton, C.J. Mosley and 2011 defensive end LaMichael Fanning. Numerous current commitments will also be visiting.

Recruiting Notes

• C.J. Mosley will take in the Auburn-Kentucky game next weekend. He will be at LSU this weekend.
• Vic Beasley will take an official visit to Auburn for the Iron Bowl.
• Trovon Reed's top three are still Auburn, LSU and Florida. Auburn appears to currently hold a lead over the other two.
• I would expect to see Shon Coleman, Jake Holland and possibly D.J. Howard pick up a fourth star on Rivals when the updated rankings come out.
• Ed Christian still appears to be taking his official visit next weekend for the Kentucky game. It appeared as if he would possibly commit after the Kentucky game but he has now opened up to even more schools such as Alabama, Florida, Tennessee and Clemson.
• Offensive lineman Daryl Williams will likely take an official visit to Auburn in January.
• Auburn is the early leader for 2011 offensive tackle Alan Posey. Posey is from Athens, GA but does not seem to want to go to Georgia. Posey has only visited Auburn, UGA and Georgia Tech.

Big OT Visits

Ed Christian was the big time offensive tackle who visited. He was previously committed to Florida State but has decommitted since visiting the Plains. He had not even talked to an Auburn coach until Wednesday when Curtis Luper got into contact with him. Christian will return for an official visit for the Kentucky game and could commit then.
