AUTUmike 79 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 "This will absolutely be my final decision," he said. "Just Auburn. No visits anywhere else. I'm a man of my word. I committed to Auburn and I'm going to stick with that decision." Kaleb Kim, OT Hoschton, GA (Mill Creek) 6'4 / 280 / 5.37 - Recruiter: J.B. Grimes - Attended A-Day - Visited AU 3/22/14 (attended Spring Practice) - Visited AU 2/22/14 (Junior Day) - Visited by J.B. Grimes 12/09/13 Offers: Alabama, Auburn, Boston College, California, Duke, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Indiana, Kentucky, Maryland, Miami (OH), North Carolina, Ohio State, Penn State, South Carolina, Syracuse, Tennessee, Vanderbilt and Virginia, among others. 247Sports: 4* ESPN: 4* (ESPN300 - No. 192) Rivals: 4* (Rivals250 - No. 228) Scout: 4* Competing in the highest class in the state of Georgia, Kim tallied 42 pancake blocks last season and finished with an 88 percent blocking grade. He was named an All-State player as a sophomore and junior.... "He's received a lot of accolades, but I believe his better play is ahead of him," Mill Creek head coach Shannon Jarvis said. "He can carry so much weight. Once he gets into college and develops more weight and strength, I think he'll be tremendous player. ... "The biggest thing with Kaleb is he finishes his blocks. As intelligent and nice of a kid as he is, he's a nasty player. Not dirty, but nasty." http://www.al.com/sp...ieves_comm.html "Auburn is my No. 1," Kim said after watching practice during his third visit to Auburn Saturday. "I liked what Coach (J.B.) Grimes is doing, and his intensity. I was standing by him the whole time. He gets after it. He's intense. Face to face, he's the nicest guy, but on the field it's all business and he'll get after you and I like that."http://www.al.com/sp...ays_4-star.html Hudl Highlights (Photo: 247Sports) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BraseltonTiger84 0 Posted February 25, 2014 Share Posted February 25, 2014 I don't post often but I do know Kaleb personally so I'll add my thoughts. He is a very good kid that comes from a great family and I'm a bit shocked to not see GT in his top 3 since that was his childhood favorite growing up. Wherever Kaleb goes they will be getting a good one. I'll check in with him again to see how his visit went. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I don't know the kid personally, but alot of what little is out there seems to be pointing to UGA for now. I can't recall exactly when he is supposed to commit but the puppies seem pretty confident. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mom2kid 216 Posted March 3, 2014 Share Posted March 3, 2014 If he grew up a GT fan, remember that UGA is their rival. It makes sense that he is not automatically drawn to UGA. Plus AU has a better OL coach and OL player development. Our OL line was great last year while UGA repeatedly get poor performance out of their OL.

metafour 4,958 Posted March 24, 2014 Share Posted March 24, 2014 No, but we definitely lead and the staff feels pretty good about landing him. He's also committing relatively soon in about a month or two IIRC. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sani-Freeze 552 Posted April 3, 2014 Share Posted April 3, 2014 No, but we definitely lead and the staff feels pretty good about landing him. He's also committing relatively soon in about a month or two IIRC. I just got the same info today- He wants to commit somewhere soon to end the recruiting process early. It's between AU and UGA, and he is leaning toward the good guys. Will attend A-day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dixie1860 27 Posted April 5, 2014 Share Posted April 5, 2014 I know UGA is on him hard right now. I don't know if it's doing them any good. We are going to be OLU in a couple years. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
