First time I've had an opportunity to catch up with this thread since February. I know this is old news but the new format looks great. Thanks for the hard work.

Every time I wonder if the recruiting thread has been updated, it already has been. Your efficiency and effort are noted. You get a gold star and move up 3 spaces in the poster rankings.

@Allie_Davison: Huge news for the No. 1 TE in the country. No longer a FSU commit. https://t.co/3rszOyDdjO

Since we don't have a thread on him but he is listed as 1 of our top 2 targets on the board, do we have any kind of shot at him? He's a big time player

Unfortunately it looks like UGA is trending for Nauta

We are still recruiting him but UGA is the team to beat.

I noticed Nauta appeared on your board a week ago (maybe longer) as a high priority 5* WR. Did you know something was in the works? I thought he was a firm FSU commit. Is that the selling point UGA and AU are using (pure receiver, big WR type) instead of HB/TE position which is more of a blocking position. I'd never seen Nauta listed as a WR before. Interesting....

[Maverick.AU 13,279]

I know he's a UGA lean, but there were a ton of retweets from AU people when he decommited. So that is why I asked the question WEAU

[JFDTiger80 790]

Very, very slim chance we get him. We should be happy with Landon. Kid is talented and really big. He will be great for AU.

I agree Landon is a beast but Nauta is extremely good

Michigan is a darkhorse for Nauta, has a lot of family in Michigan.

[War to the Eagle 362]

Like a billion CBs for him to UGA today.

[autan 737]

UGA already has two TE commits for the class. But you don't turn down a 5* stud like Nauta. They only have one small WR commit so far so WEagle may be on to something listing Nauta as a WR.

I have noticed that some of our recruits have had their stars increased. (I am talking about a 3 star recruit that is committed to Auburn and now has some 4 star ratings) I would guess that a lot of these young men will have their star ratings significantly increased from where they are now.

By the way, I saw a cougar about 2 miles from where I reside. My father-in-law was with me, and saw it as well. I am not one of these that takes a cell phone with him 24/7. Where I live, you cannot get cell coverage due to the remote area. This is a blessing most of the time. I get annoyed with people that cannot even go take a dump without having their cell phone in their hand, and a swath of toilet paper in the other. I cannot drive anymore due to my health condition and the ton of meds I have to take everyday just to have some relief and have a decent life. My lovely, and I do mean lovely wife, does all of the driving. She is a great driver. I spend most of my time outdoors as much as possible. Life is good in the mountains of weI do have a nice Club Cart golf cart that serves me well. I play golf about 3-4 times per week. If you ever come to the southern part of the Blue Ridge Mountains where I live, come on over and I will treat you to a round or two of some of the best golf course in the mountains of western, North Carolina!

Promise me that you will never play my little course without me!

[Tigerfinz 1,362]

That's quite an offer Doc. We should all be so lucky as to play a round of golf with an Auburn man of your character...

Mikey, care to go ahead and preemptively explain that Burton's departure doesn't open up a new scholly slot for the 2016 (or '17) class?

I suppose I could, but that would spoil the fun of explaining it all later.

Understood.

Side note, looks like Greg Little's visiting next month.

I see a lot of early enrollees in this class. My question is: By being an early enrollee, these young men will start school this January. I wish all of our recruits could be early enrollees so that they could have a spring camp underneath their belts of which would give them an edge compared to the recruits that start in Fall camp.

Agreed. Where is the question? Generally, I wish we could sign all five stars.

[autan 737]

We couldn't sign all 5*s but we could sign all 4*s if we were recruiting just stars.

Watch out for Florida on Barrett, Stove and Newkirk and Alabama on Davidson. Auburn gotta finish strong for the rest of season.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

The way Georgia has lost their last 2 games, it isn't helping their cause with these 4 * and 5 * recruits. I hope Gus move Garner to TE coach and bring in Rocker to coach the DL.
