Diamond has a nice frame with long arms and a solid base in his legs. He's a naturally strong kid who drives defenders down field and does a nice job finishing his blocks. He has experience in pass protection and does a nice job of using his arm length and locking out on pass rushers. Would like to see him keep working on getting quicker and more nimble. Likely a right tackle or possibly even a guard in college.

Diamond displays a great deal of playing strength as a dominant run blocker. Has the ability to overpower defenders both on and off the line of scrimmage. Possesses the size and athleticism for the offensive tackle position at the major level of competition...

Does it still look like OSU? They only picked up two OTs so I would guess so.

No; I believe they only have one spot left (for Diggs). Diamond looks like Michigan right now.

[Chris Meredith]

So who looks like the front tunner for Diamond right now?

[autigeremt]

I was "told" that Grimes has been pushing hard. I hope it's us, but I also think Michigan is slightly ahead of us. We'll see in a few hours.

However, there's some AU sites, etc. that think we have a very good chance to get him.

Michigan has already signed 25 this year:

Michigan only signed 19 in 2011:

Big Ten follows different rules than the SEC and NCAA. I am not familiar with them.

Can they now sign Diamond and back count him?

I think its too late to back count anyone now. But then again, Im not an expert on this stuff.

[Justin5]

Wait, now I see Michigan had 3 early enrollees, so they have 3 spots left.

Seriously though, that fake Marky Murphy tweet might have been fake, but I'm hearing good things about Diamond signing with Auburn.
@WarBlogle

[Tigermike]

Rumors are that Michigan has been eliminated.




That probably means it's Michigan.



Hopefully he will sign with AUBURN.

[LegalEagle]

Is his decision to be televised? If so, where?

[RunInRed]

The premium hacks feel good about AU's chances for Diamond TIFWIW.
