1. All at the moment. 2. Johnson, Taylor, & Lasater IMO.

Alec Jackson or Ryan Johnson would then likely be the DT (down the line) for the class.

To this point no other uncommitted DT only targets after Solomon have been identified publicly at least.

Hey Ellitor, thanks for all of the updates! You always have great insight as to what is going on with recruiting.  I know in the past, we have had some big surprises come LOI Day. Do you have any possible recruits out there that could fit the bill?

[AUwent 3,747]

Thank you E! So glad to know CA is coming!

If I did then they wouldn't be a surprise. lol

Tamorrian Terry is 1 to keep an eye on if he can qualify. He's arguably the best WR in the South & AU was the 2nd team in on him right after FSU. AU has a real shot though if he qualifies.

[ellitor 33,062]

OP updated. Aubrey Solomon eliminated AU so he got eliminated from the list.

1/20 weekend is shaping up to be a big pep rally. A lot of the visitors are committed already and will be helping to recruit the others. I would imagine all these1/20 uncommitted visitors have committable offers and the committed guys are encouraging them to pull the trigger.  1/13 weekend is different.  TT, TJ, and whoever else probably have contingencies involved with their recruitment and a lot depends on what happens on 1/20.

[milehighfan 1,239]

Of the uncommitted players coming in on the 20th, I hope we could get all but two I really hope we get are Parks and Taylor. 

[au_bsci_04 407]

Parks ain't happening. He's rollin

[aucanucktiger 1,789]

Yes, Taylor is huge IMO.

[Dixie1860 27]

Solomon is not coming to AU.

Johnson, Taylor, Lasater, and hopefully Parks are all takes. Parks is sorta just out there, I don't know his story.

The first three are all players IMO.

Is anyone familiar with Poutasi Poutasi who is shown as a visit on 1/20/17, per 247 Sports.

Was wrong. Found an article where KN reports he will visit this weekend.

Quote

Keith Niebuhr of 247Sports is reporting a Nevada offensive lineman with a legendary name Poutasi Poutasi will officially visit this weekend. I haven’t been able to confirm that. He doesn’t hold an offer and recently de-committed from Louisville. He originally had Auburn on schedule for Jan. 20. If that has in fact changed, I’ll update when I confirm.

Just that he is visiting this weekend & does not have an offer.

Do you think there will be some additions/subtractions to the list once Gus names the new OC, assuming that's this weekend like I believe it will be?

Not E, but I doubt it.  It's a little late in the game for whoever we hire to bring in someone new with them, especially since there's no buzz that we are going after someone with ties to any of our targets... plus most of our key targets are on D.

No. Most of the targets left are on D & will not be affected by a new OC.

E, is your 1/20 OV list from Jan. 1 still pretty accurate as far as you know.  I guess changes would probably occur next Tues or Wed after everything settles down form 1/13 visits.

Think E updates his first post pretty often.
