Wasn't there a top recruit who was going to give his commitment sometime today?

No. Lake McRee committed to USC yesterday but most knew that was going to happen.

Also Christian Leary was going to commit today but he announced a week or so ago he was no longer committing today. He's still expected to commit sometime in June though.

Thank you.

Is Gus recruiting a punter? We need one last years punter left early in hopes he would get drafted in the NFL.

Not Auburn related right now. We have other receivers higher on the board.

I’m sure they will be but we can’t add one until after the season is over. Unless there a walk on. We cannot add any more scholarship players right now.

From Littleton, Colorado. Terrance is 6-5, 230. What are the chances of us getting his commitment. I've read where he has Auburn real high on his list.

@auburn4ever low. He's expected to commit to Oregon soon & it looks like we have zeroed in on Landen King & Michael Trigg.

[auburn4ever 1,266]

Ok thanks. I was hoping we would keep the pipeline open to Colorado. We've done pretty well in signing the Carlson brother's from Colorado.

So I was looking at the 247 state composite rankings and Auburn has the #3 and #4 ranked guys committed to us with a good chance at #5. Also some are saying we’re well in it for #1 Mckinstry. So it’s possible we could end up with four out of the top 5 players in the state. Pretty damn good.

No way Saban lets us take four of the top five. They’ll steal at least two.

He won't steal them.  He'll just pay way above market value.

If we can keep the 2 we already have committed and can get Williams or McKinstrey then I’m cool with that too. I’ll take 3 out of the top 5 in state

That’s what I was referring to as stealing.

I think they get Kool-Aid and I think hNick will make it extremely difficult for us to land Scoob even though we feel like we lead right now.

If we don't have football this year, will there be signing days in Dec. and Feb.?

@auburn4ever it’s looking more more likely we will have football this season. Whether we do or don’t though I think signing day will be moved back to February and have no December signing day this year because of the extended dead period. I don’t see any way there’s not a signing day in February. Kids can’t just sit there and stay in high school.

Damn, well we’re gone need Pogue and Garner to step up. I don’t wanna see us lose out on Brooks and Williams

If you want some ancient history, from way back when Pat Sullivan, Terry Beasley and Johnny Musso were the top three recruits in Alabama that year: For most of the cycle, AU was thought to be a lock for Musso, he was AU all the way. ( I had a brother in law on the Banks team with him, so I did have some pretty good first hand info) Then, Pat and Terry both announced for Auburn. Bryant wouldn't stand for AU getting all three. UAT put the "B'ham Mafia", the Bruno family and so forth on the case and Musso ended up at bammer. Some things never change. Just look at what happened with last year's in-state class. Same ol' same ol'.

There may very well be college football but I wonder how many high schools will cancel football and other fall sports.

Legit question.

My daughters school sent out a questioner asking about distance learning availability at home and other stuff. Talked about only a percentage of students allowed at the school each day if any at all. So, I am guessing a chance fall sports will not happen if all or majority of students not allowed back.
