Region Opens Back Up

Spencer Region has "opened up" his recruitment and will explore all options to make sure Auburn is the right place for him. Region was expected to commit to Alabama in February before shocking the Tide by committing to Auburn.

Two HUGE Visitors Today

Auburn had two big names on campus for practice today. Brey Cook of Arkansas and A.J. Johnson of Georgia. Both are on the Rivals 250 Watch List.

UPDATED: Spencer Region and Reese Dismukes were indeed visiting Alabama's practice today. I will let you know what I hear.

Weekend Wrap Up

• Jonathan Rose picked up an offer from Auburn right before his visit and it went incredibly well. I expect him to commit to Auburn soon. Rose also has offers from Alabama and Florida State.
• Commitment Spencer Region visited Auburn this weekend with his family. He says he cannot wait to get to Auburn and now plans to do whatever he can to graduate a semester early and enroll in Auburn next spring to get a head start with spring practices.
• Region was joined on his visit by Rivals 250 Watch List center Reese Dismukes. Like Region, Dismukes was set to commit to Alabama but has had a change of heart. Many are stating he is an Auburn lean now and I believe it as well. He and Region are friends and have spoken about playing together in college. Dismukes will make a decision within the next month or two between Auburn, Alabama and Florida State according to AuburnUndercover. Dismukes also plans on graduating early.
• AuburnSports.com tells us Georgia linebacker Demarcus Sherod took in Auburn this weekend and left with Auburn on top. He was All-Dekalb county as a junior while racking up 122 tackles. It is not clear if Sherod has an offer from the Tigers yet or not.
• JaBrian Niles was also in Auburn. He says he grew up an Auburn fan and really hopes that they offer but says he has no favorites. He currently has offers from Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Ole Miss and Texas Tech.

Weekend Visitors

Auburn will be hosting a number of unofficial visitors for the 2011 class this weekend. Among them are:

• Spencer Region
• Jonathan Rose
• Reese Dismukes

There may be a few others that I will list once they are confirmed on campus. Also, it should be noted that Alabama commitment Brent Calloway visited Auburn during the week this past week.

Region Shocks Bama

Big time 2011 offensive lineman Spencer Region was considered an Alabama lock by most but he shocked the entire state today by committing to the Auburn Tigers. He is expected to be one of the top offensive linemen in the 2011 class and says he planned on committing to Alabama Friday night but made a switch Saturday. Region says Alabama's coaches took him for granted and Auburn's coaches never pressured him. Region says he may visit other schools but he will sign with Auburn.

National Signing Day Chat

• Link to live stream of Lattimore announcement here.
• 2011 offensive lineman Spencer Region set to announce this Friday at 10 a.m. I think he is leaning toward Alabama.
• Marcus Lattimore picks USC over Auburn.
• Corey Lemonier will announce between Auburn and FSU around 11 am CT tomorrow. He will notify the coaches of his decision tonight according to Phillip Marshall.
• Byran Jones' teammate Alan Turner was offered by Arkansas a while back and that could be enough to seal the deal of Jones to Arky even though Turner is not likely to qualify.
• I am still going to predict Coleman will sign with Auburn. He will announce at 9 a.m. CT along with his teammate Damien Robinson.
• Many think D.J. Howard will end up at Kentucky.
• Markeith Ambles will announce at 10 a.m. CT and Rivals lists Auburn, Tennessee, UNC and USCw as his finalists.

Visitors

A few visitors will be on the Plains this weekend:

• A BIG TIME offensive lineman will likely make his first ever trip to the Plains. It has been asked to keep quiet until he visits as he is currently committed to another school. He has real interest in Auburn. An official visit is already in the works.
• Corey Grant will be back this weekend. The Alabama commitment visited Auburn last weekend as well.
• Vanderbilt commitment Davis Dudchock will be in attendance. His father played for Auburn.
• There will be mostly junior visitors this weekend. Some big names include LaMichael Fanning, Watt Dantzler and Spencer Region.
• There are no official visits planned this weekend.
