Hate it that the turds are always in the mix with recruits that's on our board, here goes to big boi recruiting.

Same h.s as CJ Uzomah is from, might give us a slight edge.

They also have another OT that's like 6'10" - 360lbs. His dad played at AU....the linemen that sued for a penalty flag to the eye. Total BEAST on the field though.

I think you may be confused. Orlando Brown who was famously hit in the eye by the referee's flag, never played for AU. He played college at South Carolina State. His son who is 6'8" - 345, Orlando Brown Jr., plays for Peachtree Ridge in Suwanee.

Will visit Auburn for Junior Day this weekend.

He is gonna be solid next year, interesting to see how he stacks up. There is some pretty darn good football players in his area.

Well, well, well. JC got him to Auburn.

[Dixie1860 27]

Mercy, someone please get Commissioner Gordon on the Bat Phone and see what in Hades is going on!! So much Auburn Buzz in the last week or so.

It's as simple as our coaches actually being able to get on the road and recruit some. They have been balls to the walls teaching the current players in the spring. I like it. Good mix of recruiting and coaching. Now it's time to recruit!!!

It's more than that on Sawyer. He named Bama and UGA leaders last week but he may not have a committable offer from either school. His size at 6-3/240 is better suited for a 4-3 DE as opposed to a 3-4 DE or JACK LB

[au_bsci_04 407]

He is a freakin ball player too! Would be a great haul to get him and Hand or Thornton.

The coaches are planning on taking 3 DEs so we would take all of them.

[au_bsci_04 407]

With Evans being a LB? So the plan is 3 DEs and 3 LBs?

[ellitor 33,114]

Possibly 4 LBs with Vincent Jackson as a possibility.

Good! We need all of them.

If Davis can make a full recovery to his old playing self we really won't need 4 LBs in a 2 LB system.

[au_bsci_04 407]

That's where I was going with it, thought the new D system didn't require us to take many LB and we were being select with out offers / commitments.

The Davis injury may motivate the coaches to take 1 more.

I really like the Jackson kid as well. He is bigger and still growing. The film I saw he seemed to have some natural skills as well.

[ellitor 33,114]

New interview with Dante posted today.

A key thing to remember here is while Bama and UGA are his top 2 he fits much better in a 4 man front line and therefore does not have commitable offers from either school.
