That's awesome! I really hope we sign him. I remember playing against TJ throughout middle school and hoping he would go to Auburn, because I knew he was gonna be a stud.

War eagle TJ!

"Committed" (past action) or "committing" (present or future action)?

Not that this matters, but it seems to be the most common/universal benchmark at this point - but how many stars will this guy end up with? In other words, is he going to be closer to a high 3*/low 4* or a high 4*/pushing 5*?

How does he stack up against the other RB's for next year?

Shhhhhhh......We don't need rivals to find out. They will go ahead and find away to take away stars.

#1 RB in AL, DEFINITE 4*, One of our MOST-IMPORTANT 2012 recruits that the AU staff has been HEAVILY recruiting for awhile now!

Scout already list him as a 3 star.

Right now to be listed is a good thing. Alot of the 4*s now will be 5*s and alot of 3*s will be 4*s

which means he will be a 4* when they really start focusing on 2012 after the summer.

When he hits the summer camp/combine circut, that will definetly change. He will be a highly rated prospect. One of the top guys here in the state.

yeah, i meant the current 3 star status as a good thing. most players don't have any sort of ranking yet

He'll be a solid 4*, #1 RB in AL, and a Top 15 RB if not Top 10

TJ would be a huge get for the class next year. Assuming we take 2 RBs next year, who else would get on board? I've heard numerous high-profile backs are highly interested in Auburn. What are our chances with Keith Marshall do you think?

LOL my bad DJ. I answered someone without reading the rest of the thread

Marshall, at this point, is rumored to be a UGA lean. But this early, leans don't really matter, we definitely have a good shot with him.

Other backs include Jonathan Gray and Trey Williams (who I personally think we get to go with TJ)

Add keith marshall to go along with him and we'll be set at rb for 2012!

I have only seen him in one game and that was the state championship vs Hoover.  Not his best game.  Anyone have any more film?

No shame in that since Hoover had one of the best defenses in the nation.

Actually I was pretty impressed with him. Good size, speed and acceleration. He also won the game for his team on a critical late 3rd or 4th down conversion. Like ellitor said, Hoover had a very good defense.
