Been seeing a headline from Auburn Undercover saying we're getting Ohio State commit, Jelani Thurman, back on campus. Don't know if it's Big Cat weekend or not, because it's premium content.  It would be nice to flip that guy.

Crystal Ball is projecting massive O-lineman, Vysen Lang, from Pike Road to call it for the Tiggers.  He'll be at Big Cat.  (6'4" 335)

Thurman is coming to Big Cat.  He's said he'll flip when we produce some Ws.

FTFY

BOOM!!!

Auburn once again has momentum on the recruiting trail.

Four-star defensive lineman Milky Denaud committed to the Tigers on Wednesday.

Denaud is the Tigers first commit along the defensive line and is expected to play the edge position when he gets to Auburn. He is ranked as he No. 362 overall recruit and No. 48 defensive lineman in the 247Sports Composite ranking. He is also the 66th best prospects from Florida.

The 6-foot-4, 245-pound Denaud is from Fort Pierce, Florida. While he is being recruited as an edge player by Auburn’s staff, he has the strength and size to also play inside to take advantage of mismatches.

BTW, it's Wilky, not Milky.

They’ve worked really hard to get him and Glenn back in the fold and away from the prying hands of Ryan day. Both will be buried in the depth chart at tosu for at least 3 years if not 4. We really need to use our thin depth as a selling point to some of these guys.

Milky sounds better though

I doubt there's any udder players named Milky.

Oh come on Snags.....personally attacking these young mens' names is udderly ridiculous. You guys milk this stuff for what its worth.

Don't hate.  My joke game is unmatched.  The cream always rises to the top.

In multisport cruitin news....

Teh Roundballs:
Highly rated 4 star PG Aden Holloway is set to commit tonight. Auburn is heavily in the mix for his services.

Teh foosballs:
Ja'Keem Jackson is set to commit tonight. Auburn, Penn State, Kentucky, Florida, Tennessee, Alabama are the finalists.


The general thoughts from the pay board experts:

They are feeling pretty good about Auburn's chances to get Holloway.

Jackson is a toss up at best. His cousin went to Auburn (T'Sharvin Bell) and has been in his ear a lot. But hes a childhood fan of the Gators and they've done a good job of jumping on him early and locking him down. Florida has a good bit of traction, so its probably their battle to lose.

Well, yeah.  And they're like, it's better than yours.

Enough about Snags' sexiness.

Brock Glenn is thought to be coming to BCW July 29-30.

He has also announced his commitment date is July 30th.

If its not Auburn, that's gonna be very weird.

Some think its FSU some think its tOSU.

The kid would prob be our 5th string QB if he were on the team today. Prob a mid 3 star recruit, ranked anywhere from 200-300 depending on who you ask. 6 1.5 / 188. On paper, hes not that good. Its more the optics on this kid because hes legacy (first name is actually Auburn) and his comittment would "look" good for momentum coming out of BCW. If one can get past the optics loss that it would be, its not a huge huge deal roster talent wise.

Not poo-pooing the kid, but when I first heard his name as a good possibility to sign with us, I pulled him up.  Not a big guy, and nothing at all eye-popping about his stats.  Very pedestrian.  He made the Elite 11, and tOSU is on him so there must be something to him.  But, I'm like you, he'd probably be lost in the shuffle right now if he signed.  Having said that, I'd give a good BOOM if he did.

Osu doesn’t mind hoarding talent if for nothing else so that their lesser rivals can’t develop a kid like this. Old Bryant tactic. But I think he’s honestly a take for them but not a hard offer. Wouldn’t shock me to see them pull their offer of better eye candy came along.

They're about to kick us back to Bahr Brunt days and remove scholarship restrictions.  We'll be back to 120-man rosters and signing kids just to keep them away from the opposition.

Jackson went to uf as expected.

Holloway did nothing. No one knows when he will commit. But the good guys lead for his services regardless.

Two 4* commits today.

[GH2001]

Two 4* commits today.

‘24 class but both good ones. Posse taking the optical sting off Glenn going to tOSU. Not trying to crap on Glenn but the kid is seriously mediocre. Watch his film. He gets much of his rating due to playing private school level talent. He’s just not that good. Getting posse the same day should make no auburn fan gaf any longer about the optics of Glenn. I’m cool with it.
