North Carolina just offered. May delay commitment. Guess we'll see.

I know this was about a month ago, but IMO, LaRue needs to be an everyday player. Kid has tremendous pop in his bat and I just don't think he's seen enough pitches in college yet. Considering he has stuck around past the deadline, I assume he's in it for the long haul. What would be really great is if he could turn into a closer of sorts and DH for a majority of games.

Iowa writer just CB'd to Auburn. Separate Iowa writer FutureCasted him to Auburn.

Yes they will. BP and co. have done incredibly well here is what I gather. They were on him early and let him know he was a priority early.

I agree. We've made some good changes. Got to start getting some more revenue into the program though. Jason Caldwell brought up a good point in that you can use the first base line to make suites and/or pressboxes and rent them out for baseball games or for football gamedays for people to watch Tiger Walk from. To me, seating in the outfield has to happen. Darn near every major program in the SEC has it to some extent, and we must keep up even in stadium appearance. I keep saying this, but Auburn has a chance to do something completely different than anyone in college baseball, and that is put a couple rows of seats on top of the monster. The power plant is the reason everyone says its impossible, but if you've been behind there recently, there is plenty of room to build a structure. All you do is build your base directly over the bullpen, and put in seating with low walls in front of each row for safety. Then, you rent those seats out for $25-$30 a game instead of the usual $10 and you've got some increased revenue for the season. It's also a fantastic recruiting angle being able to say "we are the only college baseball team in the country that puts fans up at the top of our monster for you to hit a dinger into. Come see if you can hit one over em." IDK some crap like that. Just have to start getting creative.

He had a chance to go to MSU a few years ago and turned it down. Not sure why in the world he would leave now given the success he's had in recent years, unless the AD just refuses to fund him (which might be true actually...). I think he's the right man for the job but good grief we need some commitment to baseball from our AD

Three 5* prospects are currently in Auburn. Jarace Walker, Zion Cruz, and Nick Smith Jr. That’s 3 of the nation’s top 22 players in 2022 all visiting Auburn today. Crazy.

I believe so as well. I actually really like the Sills pick up. He'll be an effort guy, and Bruce can work with effort, especially on defense.

This may be starting to get resolved. Looks like Sills has found a way....

Looking like there is a possibility Desi Sills will not be a part of the class after all. Transfer credit issue. OP will be monitored and updated should this happen. Expect BP would go back to the transfer portal...

OP updated to include 4* CG Chance Westry out of Sierra Canyon

Tipton is not the most accurate insider there is. He's great at edits, but he's a bammer. Bruce has been recruiting Dunning for a few years now.
