aujeff11 6,243 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Would’ve appreciated if he said something about Auburn or mentioned that Auburn is still in strong consideration. But then again, I’m unashamedly petty about such things. 1 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beaker 2,457 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 after another great year by our DL, we will be just fine with recruiting. We just need to keep R Garner happy. Maybe I will invite him over for dinner this week. Nah, he's too busy I am sure. Maybe I will get him a giftcard to the Guthries. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only thing that sucks imo is if he doesn’t come here, he probably would be projected as a DT by his senior year which I think would be a position of need by that point.

AUpreacherman22 3,876 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The College and Mag article I read (quoting Ben or Keith, not sure which) says a 2019 decommit is coming soon, but not one of our top elite guys. Any idea who that might be? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,062 Posted August 31, 2018 Author Share Posted August 31, 2018 Quote Boykin backs offer Auburn pledge Chad Simmons • Rivals.com @ChadSimmons_ This news may not shock too many that follow recruiting. Andy Boykin, a four-star defensive lineman out of Lagrange (Ga.) Troup has decommitted from Auburn. The 6-foot-4, 257 pound junior committed to the Tigers in November last year. He visited Auburn more than anywhere else due to the proximity and he got very comfortable with the coaching staff. Despite his father being an extreme Auburn fan, Boykin told Rivals in a past interview that he has been taught to do what is best for him and that his family will support him regardless of the school he chooses. This has been something the four-star has been considering for some time. He has visited other schools, but none more than Georgia in recent months. The in-state school has picked up their recruitment of Boykin since the spring and the Bulldogs are one to watch now. Miami is another school Boykin has mentioned that he has interest in. Backing off his pledge was not something that was easy for Boykin to do. He has a close friend, teammate Kobe Hudson committed to the Tigers, he has gotten close to Rodney Garner and he has given this a lot of thought. Now he is likely to take some time, look at his options and continue to evaluate schools he feels could be best for him. Boykin is not visiting anywhere this weeeknd. He will be out of town.

Kaoz 15 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 With "BowlCut" being UGA's HC, the way he swooped up to get "Radio/Sleeping Beauty" for UAT, this decommit smells awful. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tiger 8,817 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 The timing of this... Right before first game..... Had to be intentional by the bowlcut boy, no? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mustache eagle 2,388 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 I'd guess that it has more to do with the high school season. He mentioned that he would concentrate on school/football. I'd guess he'd pick recruiting back up in earnest beginning next year. Seems like the kid just needs a break from it all. Good for him. Of course I want all the best recruits to love Auburn, to be right for Auburn and themselves and come back in to the fold ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AU Is Gold 410 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Didn't he have a friend that just committed to Georgia recently? I think that had something to do with it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tbone4jc 2,238 Posted August 31, 2018 Share Posted August 31, 2018 Oh well, his choice. Cant hate him for it. Should have never committed if his hreat wasnt in it. JMO 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
