Title: Hearing some news on a Texas recruit making a visit to AU....
Post by: GH2001 on January 12, 2010, 09:20:06 AM
Prowler, Simp,

You heard any of this? This is a ESPNU Top 10 (or maybe even higher  :) )prospect. This may be the sleeper we have been hearing about. He is currently uncommitted. This would be his last official visit. If this is true, then it's is HUGE. FWIW - This is not from Rivals, ESPN, Scout or any other mainstream site or message board.

Have also heard that Prater may now go to Tennessee with Carroll leaving USC. Word is, he had his bags packed for USC then the word came about CPC. Now he is considering not enrolling early and taking his time with a choice. If this happens for Tenn, they will have quite a recruiting haul this year.



Write it 10 times on the chalkboard...

Jerry Jones?

Is he on our board? If so, then maybe 2 recruits visiting from Texas. Although Jerry is technically from Arky.  :)

And I have to give out a shout since you mentioned him. How bout dem Cowboys!!  :thumbsup:

Spill it. The only other one I know of is a big time DE from there. Don't remember his name right off hand but I saw him play or interviewed somewhere. His father played at Arizona St. and in the Pro's and now he coaches at Houston. His college choices were Houston, AR St. or USC I think.

Are you saying that now USC is off the map, that we may have a shot?

I haven't seen anything on that or that his name is on our OV list.

And he is not rated higher than Seastrunk on any board I have seen...

Jackson Jeffcoat?

Jackson Jeffcoat?

Yeah, just looked it up and that's who I was talking about. Also in the running, with the teams mentioned above are, OK, UT and UF.

IF Auburn gets an OV out of this kid I would be impressed...but I don't think there is any chance we land him...

He is #1 on ESPNU150.  http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/espnu150 (http://sports.espn.go.com/ncf/recruiting/tracker/espnu150)

No, this isnt being mentioned on any boards or anything. Right now, Texas is the team to beat. Fla is out of it as of this weekend. He cancelled his OV to UF which is when the talk of his last OV being to Auburn came to light. We were actually one of his teams in the beginning of the process and even during his Junior season. IF this comes to be true, I still think he goes to Texas, but just the talk of an OV is quite the curveball.

But does recruiting really matter?

No, GH2001 has not reported how many times he has gotten off today.  Stay tuned...

If Auburn can bring Jeffcoat in, during a big recruiting weekend with maybe Lattimore, Mack and most of the committed prospects including the ones already on campus.  Then there is always a chance that Auburn will get in his heart.   "I've decided to go with my heart and commit to...."

You don't have enough digits to count the number of times.....Yes - I got it like that.

Any news about Jeffcoat? 

There are so many schools mentioned with him....seems odd that if he was going to visit Auburn that no one anywhere would know about it.  Not that someone would "know" for sure, but there aren't even rumors from the usual places. 

I hope you're right though.  He's kept his recruitment quiet, but Texas and USC were thought to lead with Florida making a big push. Carroll leaving and him canceling his trip to Florida bodes well for everyone else, although he's still scheduled to be in Norman on the 22nd.

There is no OV scheduled to AU for JJ. There is only the possibility of it at this point. This one was being kept close to the vest and the coaches are still working on it. With LK's departure from Tenn however, I am not sure this is a priority at this point as I have gotten word that our coaches are surveying who we can possibly steal from the fallout at UT-K. I know it sounds crazy with him being the #1 player on the ESPNU 150, but getting an OV from JJ may have went to the backburner for now. Who knows....

For those interested, Rivals updated team rankings has Auburn at #4.
