RunInRed 16,360 Posted May 8, 2016 Share Posted May 8, 2016 Visited Auburn over the weekend, picked up an offer ... Quote Had a Great Visit At Auburn! Thankful to have received an Offer! War Damn Eagle #AuburnFast @LetmeRockk_ Tarik Black, WR Cheshire, CT (Chesire Academy) Ht: 6'4 | Wt: 205 | 40: 4.48 247Sports: 4*ESPN: 4*Rivals: 4*Scout: 4* Quote Black is a big target who tracks the ball well and high-points his catches. He goes over the middle and can also get down the field. He has big hands to secure the ball and tucks it quickly. He gets off the line well and is quick in and out of breaks. He knows how to use his size against the defensive backs. He needs to add strength to be more physical down the field and also to be a more effective blocker. -- Brian Dohn http://www.scout.com/player/190398-tarik-black/analysis?year=2016 Offers: Alabama, Arizona State, Auburn, Boston College, Connecticut, Duke, East Carolina, Georgia, Maryland, Massachusetts, Miami (FL), Michigan, Michigan State, Mississippi State, NC State, Nebraska, Notre Dame, Old Dominion, Rutgers, Stanford, Syracuse, Temple, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, Virginia, Virginia Tech, UCLA, West Virginia and Wisconsin, among others.

AUEngineer2016 407 Posted May 10, 2016 Share Posted May 10, 2016 Noticed the Heisman was missing in Cam's case. Out for show somewhere? It stays in the Athletic Department building (by the indoor practice facility) with Bo and Sully's trophies until gameday. Then it lives in the AU locker room in JHS (where the picture is taken) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,062 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 24 major conference offers Wants to commit by September 17th Has visited AU 3 times AU in select group along with Notre Dame per Free Rivals article on 7/17/16 247 Profile Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ellitor 33,062 Posted July 17, 2016 Share Posted July 17, 2016 Quote Auburn among a 'select few' for elite WR Bryan Matthews | Senior Editor AUBURN | With more than 30 offers to his credit, Tarik Black has his choice of just about any top program in the nation. The four-star wide receiver from Cheshire (Conn.) Academy does have a “select few in mind,” but isn’t ready to name them all. Black did confirm Auburn, which he visited for a third time this weekend, is one those. “They’re in the select few,” Black said. “Definitely the family atmosphere (stands out). I really like the coaching staff. They’re real down to earth guys. That’s a big deal.” And what about Notre Dame, a school he’s also visited on multiple occasions? “They’re in the select few as well,” Black said. Black, 6-foot-3.5 and 206 pounds, participated in Auburn’s skill camp Saturday afternoon, receiving a lot of 1-on-1 instruction from Gus Malzahn and receivers coach Kodi Burns. “The camp went great,” Black said. “I was glad to get to work with Coach Burns and get some advice and tips from Coach Malzahn. It was a great camp and the visit was great as well.” Black said he’s developed a close relationship with Burns. “Me and Kodi, we text each other a lot, we talk on the phone. We have a really good relationship. Ever since they offered me we’ve been developing a great relationship,” Black said. “He’s a young coach and pretty much went through everything I’m going through right now. He’s very relatable and he’s a great guy.” Malzahn and Burns had an important message to Black before he left. “They just want me as an Auburn Tiger. They see me coming in and having an opportunity to play right away,” Black said. Black wants to make a decision before the start of his senior season on Sept. 17. He wants to go on a couple of official visits first and could return to Auburn the weekend of Sept. 3 for the Clemson game. He said distance from home won’t play a factor in his final decision. “Family atmosphere, great coaching staff and just feeling comfortable (are the main factors),” he said.

austudnt23 1,432 Posted July 19, 2016 Share Posted July 19, 2016 We ate definitely in the running with TB. I would put us right at the top along with NoTre Dame. I expect he will be back on an official visit for the Clemson game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burntblue82 5 Posted August 9, 2016 Share Posted August 9, 2016 I got to talk with TB for a minute after his visit to Michigan this past weekend. Our families were both dropping off our cars at Hertz waiting to head to the Detroit airport. He and his mom and dad had on their Michigan "stuff" they got from the visit. I noticed a red Georgia band on his wrist so I struck up a conversation with him because my daughter attended UGA (unfortunately she couldn't follow in my footsteps to “The Loveliest Village On The Plains" because of the out of state costs). WOW! What a polite and sharp kid! Mom and dad are doing a great job raising him! I asked him about the other visits he had been on and I think he listed just about every top program across the country. I believe that was the part of the conversation that I gave him a big "WAR EAGLE"! I sure hope the "family atmosphere" he sees at Auburn...like nowhere else...along with the great education, facilities and coaches, is enough to get him to play for the burnt orange and navy blue!! I can tell he is going to be a great person and teammate along with being a great football player! WAR EAGLE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gus hurt offensive recruiting by himself with the game plan & play calling last week. Who needs teams negatively recruiting you when you do it yourself? The O recruits besides Stidham did not enjoy last week's game. By games' end many O recruits were gone or uninterested. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Potatooooooes!! 1,367 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Coach Burns....first time I've heard that. Kinda makes you pause and reflect, then smile. Good for him and proud of the job he's doing. Hopefully Black liked what he saw Saturday from our receivers. We sure could use his height! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JFDTiger80 790 Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Actually, Tarik got to see a nice all round game. There were a significant number of passes thrown and caught, and our offense was exciting to watch last week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
