Aren't we also at play with that Kozen kid?

Add Diggs too and this class is damn near perfect. Well, except for missing out on a big DT prospect.

We are. I can't see it that one or more of these big uglies doesn't go to the other side of the ball. Remember, Fairley was first listed as an OL coming out of HS. The Will Adams kid that came with J. Williams is the lowest ranked OL of this class, but supposedly has a mean streak. I think quickness and meanness are the differences in OL and DL. He's 6-6 275, and could easily carry 290 plus. I look for him to be a candidate to move to defense. But, who knows, could be any of them that decide to move, or that the coaches think can help on Defense.

I looked Thursday and AU was 11th. I looked last night and Diamond was on the commit list (which I found strange because Thursday the had AU with 19 commits and after adding D that number didn't change). AU had dropped from 11th to 12th which I again found strange because nothing had changed other than AU adding a four star commit to warrant movement in any direction.

They haven't updated the ranking list since we got Avery Young...They are showing us with 19 commits we actually have 21.

Besides it doesn't matter Kaos bama is #1 they are the king of football...all other rankings are dubious.

Auburn is now ranked 11th...54 points away from 10th place (I rounded up when I did my calculations).

Wonder what it would be if they counted Prosch? I know he was a 2*, but All American should bump him up a bit. Now, let's get Diggs. Should be a nice recruiting tool to tell him he'll have all day to get open.

Here is the team ranking formula for those interested...
(a statistician from Cal-Berkeley developed this).

*Note you only take the top 20 prospects in this formula, ordered by # Stars descending.*

POINTS = ((N / (N + 50)) * H) + ((50 / (N + 50)) * L)

H = 250 for each 5-star commit + 140 for each 4-star + 75 for each 3-star + 20 for each 2-star + 10 for each 1-star
L = 18 for each 5-star + 12 for each 4-star + 8 for each 3-star + 3 for each 2-star + 1 for each 1-star
N = a number of calculations, described below

CALCULATION OF N:
10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 1-10
9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 11-20
etc. down to...
1 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (high school) ranked 91-100

10 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 1-10
9 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 11-20
etc. down to...
6 for each commit on the Rivals 100 (non-high school) ranked 41-50

24 for each commit ranked #1 on his official position ranking
18 for each commit ranked #2-5 on his official position ranking
8 for each commit ranked 6-X on his official position ranking, where X is dependent on detail position, as listed below...

--Dual-threat QB: 25
--Pro-style QB: 25
--Running Back: 35
--All-Purpose Back: 15
--Fullback: 15
--Wide Receiver: 50
--Tight End: 20
--Offensive Tackle: 40
--Offensive Guard: 30
--Offensive Center: 10

--Inside Linebacker: 35
--Outside Linebacker: 35
--Cornerback: 40
--Safety: 30
--Athlete: 25
--Kicker: (no points awarded for rank lower than 5th)

*If the team's average stars are greater than 3, add (100 * (Avg stars -3)) to N.*

Between last year, and this year with OL...I think it's a real possibility.

Great, but they are all 6'6" +.
Maybe there's a couple already on board.
I know Fairley was a guard but Tub's had different ideas..

Tubs originally recruited Fairley, but Fairley didn't make to campus until 2009. They moved him to DT at Copiah-Lincoln CC.

If Auburn lands Alex Kozan, they'll move into the 10th spot, add Stefon Diggs 9th spot...add both, 8th spot (maybe 7th, I'll have to recalculate, I did the calculations half asleep this morning).

If Auburn lands both Kozan and Diggs they'll move up to the #7 Signing Class with 2,194 points (70 points away from the #6 class & 105 points away from a top 5 class).

What about the tweener Hutcherson...he's Gronklike, do we get more credit for him ?
And how come a center is of lesser value than other linemen? And where is the all important deep snapper on this list ?

AUChizad · « **Reply #34 on:** February 05, 2012, 05:42:22 PM »

I don't think Kozan is an option any more. He was waiting to see what Diamond was gonna do and do the opposite. Kozan was a backup plan for Diamond.

Diggs is still in it though.

We have to convince Diggs that we will get him the ball but SERIOUSLY this guy would make a great, great corner.

Not sure how accurate this is, but I have read in a couple places that Diggs could even play LB. Apparently he is one helluva athlete.
