Owens Commits!

Auburn has picked up a commitment from the number three player in the state, LaDarius Owens! Owens was recently rated number 98 in the Rivals 100 until dropping out of the top 100 last week. LaDarius Owens is the number 3 player in the state of Alabama and the number 7 outside linebacker in the country.

Owens had offers from most colleges and chose the Tigers over Alabama, Tennessee and LSU, among others. Owens' uncle, James, was Auburn's first ever black scholarship player. He is Auburn's 16th commitment for 2010 and tops off an amazing linebacker class that includes Jake Holland, Jawara White and Jessel Curry.

Owens is a four star on Rivals and Scout, ranked the number 20 OLB by Scout. He is a four star and rated 80/100 by ESPN.com and in the ESPNU 150. He is rated the second best player in the state by the Birmingham News.

Owens reports a 2.8 GPA and a 20 on the ACT.

RUMOR: Owens Commits?

Rumors are swirling that four star linebacker LaDarius Owens has committed to Auburn. He would be Auburn's top commitment so far...Working on this...

Recruiting Update

  • C.J. Mosley is planning an official visit to Auburn for the Iron Bowl. Other official visits he is planning are at Alabama, LSU, Stanford and either UGA or Tennessee. He has not yet decided when he will announce. It likely will not be until after his senior season. Mosley is still considered by most as an Alabama lean. He is quoted as saying, "Right now I feel pretty good about Alabama."
  • Mike Thornton says he speaks to either Coach Thigpen or Coach Rocker once or twice a week. He says he is still trying to get together his list of top schools but Auburn will definitely make the cut. The schools he seems to like the most, apart from Auburn, are UGA, Georgia Tech, Penn State and Michigan.
  • Dakota Mosley and Michael Dyer visited Ole Miss this weekend. It was Mosley's third visit to Oxford. Mosley and Dyer said the visit went very well and they look forward to Little Rock Christian's opening game on September 1. Dyer says Auburn is still at the top but Ole Miss is not far behind. Mosley is still lacking an Ole Miss offer.
  • LaDarius Owens had six tackles for loss including four sacks and returned a fumble for a touchdown in a 27-0 win in his first jamboree. Perhaps the most impressive part is that he only played the first quarter. He then visited the Alabama scrimmage yesterday. He only has one official visit planned for sure and that is to Florida State on September 7th. Owens is still considered a strong Auburn lean.

Owens Strikes Down Rumors

A quote floated around following Vic Beasley's commitment to Clemson that caused some uneasy feelings in the Auburn fanbase regarding LaDarius Owens. Beasley said he did not want to have his commitment turned down by Alabama like they did to Owens. This caused questions from Auburn fans who feel Owens is a strong Auburn lean.

Today, LaDarius Owens told Auburn Undercover that Beasley got bad information and that Owens never attempted to commit to the Tide. He says he does not know what Beasley is talking about and that his last visit was to Auburn on August 2.

I personally still feel Owens is a strong Auburn lean and that he will wear orange and blue. Owens' uncle James was Auburn's first black scholarship football player.

Recruiting Updates

  • Chase Hughes has named a new leader: Ole Miss. He says after a visit they slightly lead.
  • The guys at Rivals seem to think Auburn has a shot at getting one of Kyle Prater's official visits even though he has cut Auburn from his top choices. Trooper Taylor is quietly working hard on Prater.
  • LaDarius Owens says he will take a long look at each school before he pulls the trigger and that could be in late fall.
  • Owens also says he has started to get a lot of attention from UCLA, Oklahoma and Miami but does not have an offer yet.
  • Marcus Lattimore says he plans to take his official visits to Auburn, South Carolina, North Carolina, Penn State and Oregon.
  • Some new offensive linemen Auburn is likely to begin looking at are Kyle Brown and Jake Smith.

Correction: Owens To Announce

LaDarius Owens is set to announce on July 31st at 6 PM between Auburn, Alabama, LSU, FSU and Tennessee. It will either take place at his school or the clubhouse of where he lives.

Rumor: L. Owens to Announce?

I am hearing whispers that LaDarius Owens could be making his decision this weekend. We had previously heard he could commit early next week. As of now, I see him strongly leaning toward Auburn.

Owens: Decision Coming?

LaDarius Owens is making some final visits and a decision could come in the next week. Owens is heading to Tuscaloosa today and will check out Mississippi State this weekend. He says he will talk to his parents after the visits and if he is going to make a decision before his season, it will probably come next week. Looks like it will be an Auburn-Alabama competition with the Tigers leading.
