The players solid to Auburn- our strength.

It seems thru all the hype and hoopla that at times something gets lost in the shuffle. We hear a lot about the players that are soft in their commitment or who de-committed and might come back. We don't seem to hear enough about what has become the strength of this class, the players that are solid to Auburn, the Gang of 7 if you will. Those are the players I care most about.

On offense, Jeremy Johnson is solid and is recruiting hard for Auburn. Cam Toney is doing the same thing on the defensive side and is as strong as it gets in his commitment to Auburn. Those two leaders are joined by Earnest Robinson, Jason Smith, Cam Melton, Daniel Carlson and Jimmy Hutchinson. That Gang of 7 is the inner core that has hung in there.

To those players, we can now add the JUCOs of Cam Artis-Payne, Ben Bradley, Brandon King, Devonte Danzy and we have 4 more players that are eager to be part of the Auburn football program. They all seem to have great attitudes and to a man they are very thankful for the opportunity to be at Auburn.

We hear a lot about some other players. Are they in, are they out, are they wavering, are they not wavering, will they come back ? I am of the opinion that if they sign a LOI, that's fine, but if they don't and miss out on what it means to be part of Auburn, that is just fine with me too. That is on them. They need to decide if they want to be part of the Auburn program as much as these other players.

The 11 players I mentioned above, as well as the new commits yet to come on board, are eager to be at Auburn. Yes, those are the players I care most about and the kind of players that will be the inner strength of this '13 class and the Auburn football team. So, I wanted to take the time to not only recognize them, but to let them know we notice, we appreciate you and we appreciate everything you are doing for Auburn. Thank you and welcome to Auburn.

I hear ya.

Toney doesn't have the 5* tag, but he has always been my favorite, because of the way he handles the process.

He really seems like a team player and has a good head on his shoulders. I really think he will do big things at AU before he leaves.

I am high on Toney also. He has never waivered in his commitment. He loves Auburn for Auburn and not because some coach that is there. I mean I didn't like all my professors while at Auburn but hey I still loved being there.

The problem is that I am not sure who all the players are that are solid to us. Dee gets mad when anyone ask if he is decommitting. And takes up for Auburn when anyone say's anything. So does that mean that he is solid? I don't think so but how do we know. Carl said all along that he was taking all of his visits and remains a commit. Who knows?

It's easy enough for me to tell the difference...when one of the "mysterious three" actually calls up other recruits or shows up on OV days and tells the other visitors to meet him at AU in the fall, then I will consider him fully committed. Until then :dunno:

I agree that the guys you named are a lot more easy on the stomach ulcers of fans.

Thing is, if someone creates a story, even if it's unfounded, about a 5* such as Liner or Lawson, they can make big news out of it. It's good for lots of posts on message boards, lots of hits on websites and so forth.

However, there is no relaible information that Liner and Lawson are any less committed than the guys you named. I'm thinking if one of those other guys suddenly gained 5* status their page count here would hit the 500 number as soon as somebody breathed the word, "waivering". Cynical? nah! :)

There were stories floating around about all three recruiting for Auburn at the two all-star games. Now, whether those stories were true or not I don't know but they were put out there by supposed neutral sources.

Well exactly (but they should use the word wavering, haw) which is why these other guys need some recognition too. They just stay solid, remain behind the scenes and talk to recruits for us. Especially the two leaders. I like how JJ put an end to any speculation by saying "I am 100% committed to Auburn" and at the same time it is known that he is recruiting his behind off.

Decommitted from the tigers

He's a hoot! So far he's been committed to Auburn, Miami and Clemson and decomitted from all three. Not the guy for Iron Man's list, to be sure!

Well, he's only slightly less committed to AU than the "mysterious three" which means we have about the same chance fo getting him back as we do of keeping the others who have either de-committed or just won't say.

Seems pointless to try to read the tea leaves or parse the ungrammatical twitter comments of any of these kids.....so I'm just going to wait until signing day before becoming happy or despondent.
