So, just guessing here.  Now that DJ and Derick have joined the class  today, we are looking at adding

possibly 1 more RB?

1 more LB (I'm guessing that DH can/will play LB or Buck)

AND AS MANY OL (esp OT) AS POSSIBLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

5-6 slots left total?

1 more RB, 2 more LBs,  2 OL, 1-2 DL, &/or a DB or GT QB if a good one comes vbailable

7 total. Not sure how many will be used on high school kids though.

RB - MAR or Griffin

LBs - ? and ?

DL - Cox and Moore

OL - ? and ?

[mcgufcm 4,096]

LB - Brothers and Russell are two with offers, I think

OL - Olaseni and Bell have offers; Dawand Jones may have one as well

RB Yes

LBs - Looks like Chris Russell & Octavius Brother are the top targets

DL - Cox &/or Moore

OL - Juco Bam O, Kamaar Bell, &/or Dawand Jones appear to be the top targets.

 

Oh & I noticed Minnesota Safety Transfer Kendarian Handy-Holly is not on roster. If he decided to not come in or has come in & left & not going on scholly in 2019 that would give us 8 spots for new scholarshipped players.

I'd send all of our coaches out and focus on OTs

I'm not supposed to worry because I've been assured that T-Will will always bring in three or four top of the line linebackers every year. I guess they are just waiting to sign on Friday afternoon to get the full benefit of the groups' shock and awe effect.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Since we signed 15 to 16 in Dec., I wonder if this staff will sign any juco players in Feb. We could sure some juco offensive linemen, linebackers and a juco running back.

[AURaptor 1,122]

Juco always seem like an act of desperation. Sure, we've had some players make an impact, but those seem to be few and far between.  These numbers seem rather low, but I guess we're in a bit of a  youth heavy status ?

We could use Grad transfers even more since they are much more ready to play most of the time.The only grad transfers I see us taking are at OL & OB if a good one comes out.

@ellitor As far as Linebackers go how good do we feel on landing Chris Russell? His film was very impressive especially for a 3*. I didnt like what I saw from from Octavius Brother as far as being an SEC linebacker. @bigbird What do you think of these two?

Too soon to tell. He hasn’t visited AU yet.

[AuburnNTexas 7,140]

I have a recruiting question. I know on an Official visit we can pay for the recruits trip and put them up and pay for their meals. I think we can also bring some of their family and pay for them but am not sure about that. On an un-Official visit I know the recruit has to get to Auburn on their own.  Once they are here what are we allowed to do with them? Are we allowed to let them room with a player on the team are we allowed to feed them, are we allowed to take them to a sporting event like a basketball game?

Pretty sure yes.

Yes but they have to pay for their meal.

Yes.

In the original OP, Pickens is shown in orange as in signed.  However, he is just committed at this point, correct? I'm thinking this is just a carryover from prior to ESD when orange was used for committed. Thanks
