Dampeer named Auburn his leader per the AUC Auburn timeline Link He will OV Auburn this weekend.

Sounds good, glad we are being proactive.

[ellitor 33,106]

FWIW Dampeer is a take and there is a strong possibility he commits after his OV this weekend.

[AUwent 3,754]

If he commits, does it mean we are backing off from Casher?

[ellitor 33,106]

No. Probably more insurance for Sims.

Dampeer, Blair, Casher, Sims. Is that how our OL recruiting stacks up now? in that order? Would we take all four? I've never been as high on Sims as most of you. Casher either really. Maybe it's the Bammer thing. Recruits who want to go to UAT so bad, but can't get a committable offer so they will take one from AU as a backup plan. Just doesn't set too well with me. I realize they will have to be all-in before we take them at this point. Interesting to see what happens the next few weeks.

And Jordan Prestwood. We would not take all. 2 or 3 is the current projection. I am sold on Sims if he can keep his weight down. He was the only 1 that could block 2015 5* DT Duron Payne in summer camps.

Apparently we got him

"@JHokanson: Copiah-Lincoln (Miss.) OL Xavier Dampeer has committed to #Auburn."

[TigerEye24 0]

does his commitment mean anything for casher/sims/blair?

Casher No, Sims maybe, Blair No. The Jordan Prestwood offer is the insurance on Blair.

“@bambamman12: Auburn replacing Kansas State as Junior College U?” /// Needed someone after Dismukes. He's older, may need less seasoning

Details

We may have seen something others haven't. He was lightly regarded as a DL prospect, but is finding his home on the OL. Gus and Grimes saw him play and want him - hes a good guy with 3 to play 2. He'll be here for Spring ball.

[War to the Eagle 364]

Congrats Xavier. War Eagle, and welcome aboard!

[NoALtiger 3,865]

Well, kid was quoted as saying AU immediately became his leader after being offered, guess he wasn't kidding. I like this pickup for us I really do. Seems like a good fit all around.

[The Plainsman 948]

3 to play 2.

not doubting gus, but why would we need a juco og/c when our offensive line seems stacked...diamond,young,coleman,callahan, mix all on the bench. just would like to have some insight from E or anyone else who knows.

Need someone more seasoned to be ready when Reese leaves or graduates. It gives Casher more time to develop if we land him too.

WDE! Welcome aboard!
