• Khairi Fortt's father misspoke to Rivals and said Auburn had made Fortt's top six. His father was mistaken and says UGA was the final school, not Auburn. His father says he does not want to play that far from his home in Connecticut. Since UGA is so much closer...?
• I see Fortt ending up at Penn State either way.
• Auburn seems to have lost interest in JUCO offensive linemen since Aubrey Phillips' transfer. This means John Cullen likely is not on Auburn's radar anymore.
• Lou Holtz told a South Bend, Indiana TV station that he does not plan to run for Congress. It was rumored Holtz would run for Congress in the state of Florida as a Republican. Holtz famously remarked in 2007 that he had a better chance of being elected Senator of Florida than Auburn beating Florida. The Tigers beat the Gators in the Swamp, 20-17.

Three Recruiting Notes

• Tyrone Cornileus wanted a committable offer from Auburn but never received one and that is the reason he recently named Georgia Tech and Miami as his leaders.
• Khairi Fortt was named the defensive MVP at the Top Gun camp in Orlando last week.
• Junior quarterback Teddy Bridgewater received an offer from Auburn recently. That brings us to three 2011 quarterbacks to be offered along with Kiehl Frazier and Jeff Driskel.

Nothing Great Today

• Wes Rea will have time to have an extended visit to Auburn in July. He has a baseball tournament in Auburn and plans to meet the football coaches.
• Alec Ogletree has committed to UGA.
• Another school that will for sure be in Khairi Fortt's top 5 is Penn State.
• Auburn leads for OL/TE Dakota Mosley. Auburn is recruiting him as an offensive lineman. He visited Illinois this past week. He is teammates with Michael Dyer.
• Jarrick Williams has committed to Alabama. Go figure.
• Tyrik Rollison will wear number 17 at Auburn.
• I will not have a signee profile today or tomorrow. I will pick back up with Deangelo Benton on Sunday.

Update

• Khairi Fortt says he will announce his final six at the end of the summer. After a visit to UNC this weekend, he says they will be one of them.
• The SEC Media Days will be July 22-24 at the Wynfrey Hotel in Hoover, AL. Vandy, MSU, Arkansas and Kentucky will be the 22nd, Alabama, UGA, Ole Miss and Florida will be the 23rd and Auburn, South Carolina, Tennessee and LSU will be the 24th.
• Student-athletes representing Auburn at Media Days will be Tommy Trott and Antonio Coleman.
• Marcus Lattimore says he had a great visit to South Carolina. He says he cannot name a leader currently. He will cut his top 8 to a top 5 at the end of summer.
• Davis Dudchock committed to Vanderbilt. The Auburn legacy had an offer from Auburn.
• Kyle Prater would like to trim his list to five soon. Already in are Oklahoma, USC and Illinois.
• That's all for now. Getting some studying in...

Fortt Update

Khairi Fortt will visit UNC, Tennessee, Georgia and Florida over the next month. He plans to cut down to a list of about 6-10 after that. Mike Farrell from Rivals believes Penn State could be the team to beat.

Big Cat Wrap Up

This weekend was one of the most unique unofficial recruiting tactics in recent memory.  Here is the details that have come out:

• Eric Mack, one of the top offensive tackles in the nation has said that Auburn is now his leader.  He is planning two separate trips to Auburn before signing day, one unofficial for the West Virginia game and the other an official in January.
• Lache Seastrunk said the trip actually topped his first trip to Auburn that he called the best experience he has had.  He will wait to commit anywhere until the Army All-American Game.  He said he will likely visit for the Iron Bowl.
• Marcus Lattimore said the trip was great and that Auburn is still his number one.   Later he said he did not have a leader but trimmed his list to Auburn, Alabama, North Carolina, South Carolina, Clemson, Penn State, Florida State and Maryland.
• Trovon Reed said he does not have a list but if he did Auburn would be high on it.
• Rumors had swirled that Shon Coleman may be wavering on his commitment but after this weekend he says he is "locked in" on Auburn.
• Khairi Fortt said Auburn definitely moved up his list.
• LaDarius Owens said he still doesn't have a leader but Auburn seriously helped themselves this weekend.
• Jessel Curry says he is still committed to West Virginia but that Auburn is now in his top two.
• Auburn will review possibly secondary recruiting violations from this weekend.  More here.

Update

Not a lot has been going on.  Nasty rainy day here in the 'Burn.  

• John Cullen has picked up a few more offers.  Auburn is still his favorite but he will wait until Signing Day to commit.
• Tyrone Cornileus says all schools are even right now for him.
• Eric Mack says he is "wide open" right now and will not even cut his list down until December after some visits.
• Steven Atwater, son of NFL great Steve Atwater, says he hopes to receive an offer from Auburn.  Atwater, Sr. played at Arkansas.
• Khairi Fortt says he wants to visit Auburn.  Fortt says he is very interested in Auburn and that the coaches weren't really recruiting him and he sent them his tapes.  He is a four star linebacker from Connecticut.
• I'm hearing Marcus Lattimore may visit next weekend.  Nothing concrete yet.
• Jawara White is planning on visiting next weekend.
