The Tigers are on the prowl, literally.

The spring evaluation period began April 15 and runs through May 31. Though the period lasts six weeks, coaches are only allowed to be on the road for four.

Luper and the Tigers will concentrate on the state of Alabama this week.
Auburn started this week. And they're making sure everyone knows they're coming.

In what is being termed the "Tiger Prowl", seven Tiger coaches, the most a program can have out at one time, will be cruising the state of Alabama this week in a decked-out Auburn limousine.

"We're prowling," said Auburn recruiting coordinator Curtis Luper. "All seven of us. We are all in a limo with Auburn flags on the windows and Auburn magnets on the doors.

"We all have on our orange. We all have on our Auburn shirts."

Auburn's coaches will begin their in-state tour today in Mobile. Schools that will be visited include Theodore, Blount, Vigor, Williamson and Davidson among others in the area.

Instead of the coaches breaking up and going their separate ways, to their own recruiting regions, Luper said they wanted to remain together.

"We want to concentrate all of our energy in one area at a time," said Luper.

After a tour through Mobile Monday, Auburn will move to the central and southeast regions of the state on Tuesday. Schools expected to be visited include Enterprise, Ariton, Greenville, Troy and then on to the Montgomery area.

Auburn's coaches were riding in style Monday in Mobile.
Wednesday's visits will include stops in Phenix City, Auburn, Opelika, Smiths Station, Millbrook and Prattville among others.

Thursday, the group will end up in Birmingham and visit schools like Hoover, Vestavia, Pelham, Springville and other area schools.

Although seven coaches is the maximum a program can have out at one time, Auburn will interchange some coaches from day to day.

"We'll have seven together everyday," Luper said. "That seven will change depending on the region, but there will be all seven together."

During the evaluation period, coaches are allowed to visit the school to evaluate players, not recruit them. No meetings or talking to recruits is allowed. Nothing more than a "hello" between a college coach and recruit is permissible by NCAA guidelines. The visits are more for coaches to watch a recruit practice, talk to his coach and other school employees.

Auburn will do that, it'll just be a little different from the past. In Luper's words, they'll be "prowling".

You guys have got to be shitting me. Do you know how much yall would be all over us if our coaches were cruising around in a limo in Mobile while recruiting? This shit is hilarious.

Uh, not the least bit. This simply reeks of desperation, imo. Can you seriously tell me that if Alabama were doing that in Mobile, you guys wouldn't be shouting off of rooftops? You would be out of your mind. I wonder how many recruits will see the inside of that limo.....I mean, why else would you go out recruiting in a limousine? I wonder what other perks these kids are getting from the new staff.....

Its funny that you would come up with something imaginary to refute something photographic.

That limo looks like they're going to the Senior Prom. We've got the money, we should at least pimp a Ferrari limo:

The Prowler · « **Reply #12 on:** April 27, 2009, 03:03:30 PM »

That Ferrari Limo looks extremely uncomfortable, bad ass...but, uncomfortable.

As for the Auburn Prowl......'Bout Damn TIME. If you wanna be Big Tyme, ya gots ta act Big Tyme. BALLA!!!!!

I agree with this. But, I also agree that it looks desperate. How sad is it that Auburn has to resort to desperation, because of the disaster that is Coach Chizik.

Finebaum's having a field day with this. Laughing hysterically (clearly forced).

I don't get the embarrassment. I don't get the joke. I guess I'm a clueless barner...

Yep. There's more than one. You can pretend like it isn't true, but there are lots of people who didn't suck the bitter turd lollipop and pretend it was grape flavored.

It's not dignified. It's not class. It's just stupid. It's ridiculous.

Auburn looks like a bunch of tools. Whoever greenlighted it should be fired.

The Prowler · « **Reply #18 on:** April 27, 2009, 03:28:25 PM »

So, did Finebaum laugh at the Turd Limo Crusade? Nope. But, when Auburn does it, it's all of a sudden something to be made fun of. Yeah, that makes sense. I, personally, don't see anything at all wrong with it. These coaches are going to be putting the "Full Court" effort towards every school that they go to and that will get the kid's attention. "Party Like a Rockstar" and if you're going to do it....."Do It Big". A Stretched Hummer/Lincoln Navigator/Comfortable Ferrari/Gremlin would've been cooler, though.

RWS · « **Reply #19 on:** April 27, 2009, 03:30:23 PM »

Amazing. You guys would be laughing hysterically at us had our coaches gone on the road in a limo with Alabama stickers all over it. Your savior does it, and its genius. Awesome.
