When is the last time a high-ranked recruit from California ended up on AU's field that worked out ?

When was the last time a highly ranked CA high school player not worked out for AU?

When was the last time a highly ranked CA high school player came to Auburn?

I phrased it to not restrict my question to high school recruits because of Roszell Gayden (who left injured) and Bonomolo (he's at AU now coming up on 3 years and haven't seen much of him).

I saw what you did there

I don't understand when he said he wanted to enroll early. Auburn started school this week. I'm not sure how he could get to Auburn and start classes next week. He would just miss at least a week and a half of the first semester?

Maybe "Where there's a will, there's a way" rule ?

How good is his older brother? Big contributor or what?

if that is Armstead's intention I feel like the Coaches went over everything and there must be a possible way...

Big eater.

Most schools started this week, no difference

He was a 4* DT according to this. http://usc.scout.com/a.z?s=15&p=8&c=1&nid=3056515

Really not a big deal. As long as he gets registered before the last day of adding/dropping classes.

So who all is visiting this weekend?

I didn't hold out much hope on Armstead, but there's a lot of interesting information making the rounds. This will most certainly be a big weekend for Auburn.

^^^^THIS. I believe the last day to register is Tuesday or Wednesday. We also could have used the big man to help rebound against UK in the basketball game tonight.

check the visitor thread pinned at the top of the page.

  Jonesy I agree. I didn't hold out any hope on Armstead. However, with him, his brother, and parents coming that is a pretty big deal. I wonder how this out affect other DL recruits like Williams if he were to come to AU.

With a week left you should have already made up your mind and need confirmation of where you want to go or not go!  MGF (my gut feeling) just a little refreshing then JMO(every post) says no

I'm not trying to act like I know what this guy should do more than he and his family do, but I think he should take some more time.  Enrolling early is not the end all be all.  Picking a school and then starting a few days later is a huge life move.  I just hope he is doing what is best.

I agree but I can't fault the kid nor say no to him if he wants to give us much needed immediate help on the basketball team.

his parents are reported to be coming as well.

Not doubting, but where did you see this confirmed. I have only seen that his brother is confirmed coming.

Arik's brother, Armond, was projected to be a potential 1st or 2nd rounder before his injury. He's an elite DL, if 100%

Me likey! Plus I think his brother would be a walkon no?

I guess this is legit.  His tweet from early this morning.

It's huge to have him here right before he decides.

I just find it weird that he flies back on Saturday just to possibly commit to AU on Sunday or Monday and fly back on Monday or Tuesday to start classes. If Auburn becomes his choice he should just stay and start class on Monday.
