So the huge news is that we might flip a kid from...... Vandy?

i don't think anybody called it huge news, tbh.  if you look at the rankings and who's already signed, there's not a lot of huge flips to be had.

Signed with Houston in December.

Your right, will not be relying on rivals for much info now. 

[WinstonMcFlurry 28]

This is the kinda class that can kill a program yknow. Not next year, but year 2 and 3 are gonna be interesting.

247 is so much better, rivals is fine for basketball but pretty much worthless for football.

maybe one of the top 3 backs of the class

[dilligas 581]

I wonder if Jadarrius Perkins has signed with Mizzou yet.  Zac Etheridge was pushing hard for him and his family wanted him closer to home (from Miss) makes me wonder if he might be our flip.

@PigskinPat Nobody has said it's huge news. Just that one of our coaches tweeted last night a flip was coming.

Although he's not officially committed elsewhere so probably doesn't count. Announcing in 2 hours.

Not sure that was wise from a PR standpoint. Just let the flip happen. Kinda like when you get to the end zone act like you’ve been there before.

Probably ending up with TAMU and with our OT that we want.   

Honestly -  I knew Fisher was going to get that ball rolling and I worry about TAMU long term.

[AuburnNTexas 7,140]

As long as we get the ones currently predicted below I will be happy with what the new staff was able to do under difficult circumstances. If we do get a flip so much the better. Then hopefully some GT's to help us next year while staff works on the 22 class.

4-star DE Dylan Brooks (Tenn signee, waiting on Vols to release him: could be a few more weeks)

1 class doesn't kill a program...just can't miss on 2 classes in a row.

In the SEC absolutely, we already struggling to keep up while pulling in top 15 classes. I hope Harsin can develop these guys and get them playing up to their potential but a class of majority 3 stars is disaster, even given the circumstances. What's gonna happen, like with basketball, is in year 3 and 4 we will have very few good upperclassmen meaning we will not be winning. There's a reason why Bama had one of the best teams of all time when a bunch of seniors came back. I don't care how good a coach Harsin is, without top 10 recruiting we are not winning anything .

Harsin has to be top 10 next year, its non negotiable. I think we will be, but who knows at this point.  

[OB4AU 42]

Relax. These are high school kids. I expect transfers to happen more as we move forward and it will help and hurt everyone.

I would be amazed if any of the above DIDN'T end up at Auburn
