Three days out and we only know of four planning to attend?  Or are paywalls preventing you to make a fuller, less depressing list?

It's not going to be a big list. The max is expected to be around 20. A unified list has not been discussed on a pay wall. I have seen a good number of names but instead of trying to remember them I figure I will wait for an actual list to come out.

[ellitor 33,062]

Added 4* Juco WR Brandon Martin

[JoeinPF 94]

Getting Martin is goid news

[War to the Eagle 362]

VERY good news on Martin.

It's only July.

According to Keith Neighbor on Talking Ball yesterday (7/20): The picnic will only have around 20 kids invited.  It is specifically geared to recruits that have not committed that AU is really pursuing.  So the 20 or so recruits that show up are on the top of the board for the coaches.

Covered in the picnic visitor thread. It will be a mix of commits & mostly top targets.

Not like it would do any good. I can't bring any of these recruits home to AU.

You keep the recruiting board up to date. Just say thank you to Lion for kissing up and shush. 

Lion im kidding. Don't kill me in your mind.

Don't know if it means for the BBQ but BMatt retweeted this 

Mississippi Gulf Coast CC and Greenwood (Ark.) native QB @Jabe_Burgess has been invited to visit #Auburn.

Jabe Burgess former QB at Tulsa

[aujeff11 6,243]

^^ Oh Lawd!  Take me away, Lawd. Come hither!! End it now!

[ScottsboroAuburnFan 462]

No way Jabe is our best JUCO option! He and Bishop would not make me feel very good bout our QB class... Unless he has suddenly gotten much better, I know he got arrested at Tulsa but idc bout that. Bishop I like as a project but think he should play Safety. So I hoped we would add a good JUCO or HS QB with Bishop.

Relax. Invited for a visit does not mean he has or will be offered a scholly.

Removed 5* ATH JaCoby Stevens Link

You can cross 5-star safety target Jacoby Stevens off the visit list for Saturday's War Dar Damn BBQ. Has 7-on-7 he can't miss.

 

[ScottsboroAuburnFan 462]

Everyone invited for the BBQ is high on out list. So i hope that is false info. All I was saying is I'm sure we could invite better QB's .

Nope. Look at the list again. 7-9 guys on that list are not top targets.

[auburntiger1987 759]

Thanks @ellitor i think some of us including me that eventhough youve said most were top targets that they all are. Thanks for the clearifications. Idk anything about jabe so I'll not spout off like I do. Just hope we get a SEC caliber signal caller to keep things looking sunny for gatewood to stay committed
