I think he's LSU  all the way now due to Ed O going out of his way to make 2 visits to the grandma's nursing home yesterday.

Latest from Keith is it appears to be a Bama Texas A&M battle. Bama appears to be trending.

If I had to bet on it I’d say A&M. I will say he’s been very tight lipped on his recruitment, even with the people closest to him. So I wouldn’t be surprised wherever he signs

Apparently Saban doesn’t tip his waiters... surprise surprise.

Neither does Eli Gold. And neither one is even paying for their meals. That's low. That's gutter trash behavior.

FWIW I’m hearing he’s not signing anywhere tomorrow

Also despite not listing Auburn in his final five at the All American game he has now listed Auburn, Bama, LSU and A&M as his final four. Don’t know what our chances are of landing him but I do know some Auburn staff visited him last week

TAMU played their AU role brilliantly in this. They were always in the mix but never considered a serious contender for the longest time. Then the closer we got to his announcement the more and more you heard of TAMU was in it. Not enough for people to think they would get hum buuuuuuuuuuuuut LATE last night some TAMU mods got confident and put in a crystal ball for him. ALWAYS a good day when snobby uppity Tim Watts gets a crystal ball pick wrong! lol.

Not gonna lie this kid should of been all ours. IDK how we lost out on him. He is just a good ol country boy who loves the small town life. These are the kind of recruitments we win our fair share of! He spent his OV to TAMU fishing most of the time at Jimbo Fisher's house. This kid sounds like he would LOVE LOVE LOVE Auburn but we were subbed out for TAMU in this case.

Apparently we weren't holding a place for Jackson because if we had one held for Jones, that was the last slot. With the announcement of the earlier signees that had been kept "secret", we only had three slots available this morning. One had already been reserved for the TE Frazier and another for the DT Butler. That left only one for Jones/Jackson. I wonder if we backed off Jackson recently? Anyway, had both Jones and Jackson wanted to sign with Auburn today, we'd have had to turn one of them down because there was only one slot left.
