There has been some really strange stuff going on with L. Williams over the past few days. I wouldn't even be surprised to see him going to USCw, but I still think it will be UF.

I still think we are very much in the race for him, but agree, it has been weird. The whole FaceBook chat thing and then his coach coming out and saying that it wasn't ture.

You should see his abs, they're really nice.

From the looks of that pic, youve been working out.

I got no predictions. I will say, I don't see any reason the kid that went FSU then decommitted would have decommitted from FSU so quickly after the hiring of Loeffler if he wasn't coming our way.

We land any 2 of those 4/5 stars, and round out the rest of the class with solid 3s, we'll be just fine. My one big hope is the Goldman kid. After that, K. Alexander.

I do believe that there's a few kids that are higher rated 3s that have been told to wait til signing day to make a decision that have soft offers depending on who above them comes or not. They have offers from places like MSU, OM etc, but are Auburn's fall backs if we miss on the big ones.

Another thing...with 10 spots left, there's no rush for any of these kids to secure their spot early and that's a big reason there's been no movement IMHO.

We need Goldman. We need L. Williams too but we have ends out the ass. Part of this is due to converting tallish high school LBs to the DE pool. The Updykes got the best MLB prospect in Reggie Ragland, large, fast and can really leap. This is what we need to recruit now for next season's crop. I feel pretty good about our smallish OLBs with "the Stache" running the D. We got in on Alexander moreso after he was injured and if we get him it's because we showed him attention when he needed it most. Is B. Brown still available?

I had rather have C. Patterson for two years than that wavering mutt fraternizer Jaquay. IMO, he's very good, but he isn't any better overall than Sammie (set to start before injured) Coates anyway.
Diggs and Louis are ready to play wherever they land-both full growd and can ball.
However, any one of the three is a plus at this stage of the game.

Ronald Darby will play early wherever he goes and we need him because he's always the fastest guy on the field. I really like our other corner verbals and safety J. Moore will be a nice addition.

I think all of the available OTs are a couple of years from being SEC ready and I do like the OG Adams because I don't think GT's Johnson would want him if he wasn't a human plow. Everyone raves about Young and Diamond but UF and Michigan will be very hard to beat.

We get:
Frost, Dee Ford and DeLaine back on defense along with nasties Robinson and Westerman with Sammie and things start looking much better.

And as JR says, there are some others that might swing our way with soft offers.
I'm happy with the fifteen we have but a little down because we didn't keep the momentum after Gus and Dyer went away and the Yeldon switch.

Moore to TCU.

I bet Chizik has something up his sleeve for tomorrow. That's the only thing I can think of to explain the weirdness.

Until tomorrow, when he might be fucking sleaveless.

Nope..tomorrow will be AUsome.

I realize that recruiting is important but I'm not sure it's as important as a lot think. You gotta get your share of good prospects that's for sure but good Lord NOBODY signing a LOI tomorrow has played a down anywhere that means anything at this point.

Some of you fuckers need some chemicals.

Predictions above.

I do find it funny that JaQuay is committing on NSD when he is already committed and he hasn't decommitted. WTF?

Gonna quit predicting. AU is 2 of 6 so far from that list. And 1 was already committed. Hoping we can finish strong with LW, Darby and Louis.

Who's the other one? I didn't see Jonathan Jones on any lists.
