Big Cat Weekend

[Snakebite]

He should be announcing in about a week and we get the last visit. That would be enormous.

Are you sure we are getting the last one?

Edit: I see where rivals is reporting that.  I could have sworn that the Auburn Live guys were saying that he was going to see Florida State again after Big Cat weekend.  Maybe I am getting my wires crossed.

Since I was raised there, met my wife in middle school there (I was in middle school too), and having family that still lives there... It will always be home.  Home just looks a lot different now in certain areas.  Downtown Auburn has lost a lot of its charm & now looks like a Cincinnati lite.  The economic growth can only be good for the place we love, though.  Just a shame it had to be so drastic visually.

Yep, other than that little stretch of College right there at Toomer's Corner, downtown Auburn is a totally different place.  But, I will have to say that despite the nostalgia, and wanting to hang on to the "Auburn I knew", that city is badass, and there's a shit load of money that's poured in.  There's so many neighborhoods that you drive by and go, "Who got all dat damn cash?"

Some of my in-laws moved there a couple of years ago, and I guess they answered that question.  I'll go up there on game day and say, "Naw, y'all go on to the game.  I'm gonna' hang here at the crib and watch the place for you.  Bad element up here, and all that."

Cool story gramps. Tell us another.

Depends on who we believe I guess. The bmatt/rivals camp or the hoke and live camp. Who knows.

Any chance the potential N'Western portal dude gets a late invite?

The "experts" are at 87% that we flip Perry T.

Feel really good about Bolden...

Now go clean up.

Seeing that they expect him to decide pretty quickly. We’re in a good spot.

We had a good week of practice.  The future is bright.

I know those law books mean a lot to you, but not out here. Out here a man settles his own problems.

Malcolm Simmons is the first domino to fall on the weekend!

Hugh Freeze and this staff are responsible for sending shockwaves throughout the college football world today. 3 major recruits committed, and 2 other major recruits with something to think about very seriously.  A big hearty, unnoticed welcome to Riddick, Simmons & Thompson

With KJ, he stated his last phone call would be with Hugh Freeze prior to commitment, which makes me think he is giving Auburn the last opportunity to sway him from the Noles.  Landing him & Carter is the finale of a statement this staff needs to make to put the current premier teams on notice that we aren’t going anywhere. I don’t know that we will ever have a long-term dynasty of excellence in our lifetimes, but we certainly will witness and be an integral part in the likely better part of a decade of Auburn Football making some significant noise.

Riddick, Thompson - all these guys are great. But KJ bolden is a program changer. I hesitate to say he’s a generation talent but that’s what he is. To me he’s up there with the great safeties I’ve seen come and go through major d1 programs. Absolutely a Day 1 starter, future sunday player. Landing him would be next level.

All major services have auburn now firmly at 13-16th in rankings with only about half the class filled out. All other teams in the top 15 are full or mostly Full other than Bama who is also around the same spot and also with 14 commitment. It’s just July fellas. This could get fun.

[WiregrassTiger]

My sources are saying that we will flip the Thompson kid from Bama. They also feel good about Riddick.
