Not sure if the staff has a spot for best available at this point but if so he may be the one. We do. Nobody has posted in it in a long time. Reality is after Tannor committed to UGA AU stopped talking to him til a couple weeks ago. I'd rather have Caleb Johnson anyway. I think he's the more talented player. Take him & see what he grows into. Edited January 27, 2018 by ellitor 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We have other needs. I agree with you 110%. We need to get a couple of quality OL in this class. This should be our highest priority. I am sure the coaches know what they are doing.

No. Carlito Gonzales didn't count last year so we can sign 26 with 1 of the January enrollies counting back to 2017. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GwillMac6 20,685 Posted January 28, 2018 Share Posted January 28, 2018 Benjamin Wolk @benjaminwolk Posted 5 hours ago It’s been a big weekend of recruiting for Auburn. The Tigers hosted six Class of 2018 prospects on official visits. 4-star linebacker Quay Walker, 4-star wide receiver Justyn Ross, 4-star defensive linemen Caleb Tannor, 3-star defensive end Caleb Johnson, 3-star cornerback CD Daniels and 4-star wide receiver Seth Williams. Two of those prospects — Walker and Ross — are top-50 prospects nationally. Walker remains committed to Alabama, but the stud linebacker from Cordele, Ga., is showing interest in Tennessee, Auburn and Georgia. Ross is down to Auburn, Alabama and Clemson. This had to be a home-run weekend for the in-state wide receiver. Tannor and Johnson are a pair of defensive line prospects who have been regulars on the Plains this year. Johnson is a high-academic, good-character guy with a lot of versatility and athleticism. Tannor is a pass-rusher who has had high interest dating back to when he committed to Georgia over Auburn in the summer. Daniels, a cornerback from Homewood, Ala., has received interest from the Tigers prior to his de-commitment from Memphis. If Auburn wants to go with another cornerback, Daniels could receive an offer. Williams is already signed with Auburn, so his official visit was more of a formality than anything. The 2018 class visitors weren’t the only prospects on campus being recruited. Four members of the 2019 class were on campus for unofficial visits, as well. Five-star linebacker Nakobe Dean, cornerback Raydarious Jones, cornerback Christian Williams and athlete Malik Washington all visited campus Saturday, hanging out with coaches and players, including going to the Auburn basketball game. There will be updates on the six 2018 official visitors and a few of the 2019 unofficial visitors throughout the day Sunday. Hang around at SEC Country for the latest updates in Auburn football recruiting as the countdown to National Signing Day begins. To give you an idea of what this weekend consisted of, here’s a rundown of a few things official visitors did. As always, they got to see the school side of things, checking out academic buildings, etc. A big portion of the football program attended the basketball game, including all of the recruits. There was a good bit of time spent at Gus Malzahn’s house, especially at the end of the night for Justyn Ross’ family. Ross came on his official visit with his grandmother, mother and aunt. They spent some time with the Malzahn family at their house on Saturday night. Impressing mom and grandma will be critical in lifting Auburn over Clemson and Alabama in this recruitment. It won’t be easy. Three of the four unofficial 2019 visitors — Dean, Jones and Williams — stayed overnight rather than taking long drives back last night. Dean and Jones are high school teammates from Mississippi who spent a lot of time with new defensive backs coach Marcus Woodson, who has roots in Mississippi. Quay Walker spent a lot of his time with high school teammate, Markaviest “Big Kat” Bryant, as you’d probably imagine. The two are quite close and have had similar end-of-cycle recruitments with multiple SEC programs battling for their talents. Many see Tennessee and Georgia as more-likely flip candidates than Auburn. Let’s see if this weekend changes that. All six official visitors have arrived at the Auburn recruiting complex to wrap up their official visits. The morning usually consists of final conversations with members of the coaching staff — often family time in Gus Malzahn’s office. I’d expect most of the prospects to head out around 1 p.m. to 2 p.m., but I’ll keep you posted. One of the 2019 prospects Christian Williams, a cornerback from Daphne, Ala., is still hanging our Auburn’s campus Sunday. His whole family is with him. There are quite a lot of them. Williams is unranked for now, but don’t expect it to stay that way. He has already picked up SEC offers from Auburn, South Carolina and Ole Miss. Williams has a nice frame to him, so I can see why teams are high on him. The other two 2019 overnighters Nakobe Dean and Raydarious Jones have made it over to the complex on Sunday. As they have for most of the weekend, they’ll spend much of their time with Marcus Woodson, as well. Woodson’s connection to Mississippi will go a long way with deep classes in that state for the 2019 and 2020 classes. I’m hearing Justyn Ross’ visit won’t end when his family leaves. Since he arrived Saturday (because of a Friday night basketball game), Ross is going to hang around a little longer when his grandmother and mother leave. He’ll spend some extra time with Kodi Burns before being taken back to Phenix City, Ala. Caleb Johnson wrapped up his official visit. He’s got three schools most on his mind — Florida, Georgia and Auburn. He says that’s the order of how hard each of the three schools are recruiting him. The Tigers are starting to pick things up, however. He spent this weekend with more than defensive line coach Rodney Garner who had been his primary point man so far. He won’t take anymore visits before his National Signing Day decision. Keep an eye out for Auburn’s in-home visits to check his priority. CD Daniels has left his official visit. He didn’t reveal much. Daniels said Auburn hasn’t offered yet, but he gave a smirk and a shrug when asked what’s going to happen with that. He said to stayed tuned for Feb. 7. I’m told the Tigers are trying to work out numbers, but it isn’t out of the question. He has a prior relationship with new defensive backs coach Marcus Woodson since he was committed to Memphis. Daniels said he’s looking forward to the opportunity to play for Woodson at a different spot. Daniels spent a lot of time this morning with early enrollees Asa Martin and Joey Gatewood. Quay Walker departed his official visit. As expected, he didn’t do interviews. But he has a big sending-off group of Kevin Steele, Rodney Garner and Travis Williams. Walker received as much attention this weekend as any recruit I can think of in recent memory. There’s no question he’s at the top of the high-priority list. Justyn Ross left his official visit and said Auburn is still in it with Clemson and Alabama despite the national perception. He’ll get an in-home visit with Gus Malzahn this week. Nick Saban has already made his in-home visit. Dabo Swinney is expected to do so, as well. Ross was able to hang out with Shedrick Jackson, Asa Martin and Joey Gatewood — three prospects he knows quite well — and that’s helpful for the Tigers. He won’t take an official visit next week, so he can use the next week and a half to form a decision with his family. He wants them to be comfortable with his choice. Caleb Tannor was the last official visitor to leave. He was in the same jolly mood he’s always in. Tannor is down to three schools of Auburn, Florida and Nebraska, but he kept using the word “both” about his decision as if it’s down to Auburn and Florida. He plans to take an official visit next weekend to Florida State or Miami and one of those schools could get in the mix. Tannor will make his final decision on National Signing Day during a ceremony at his school. This will likely come down to Auburn and Florida. He’s much more familiar with Auburn than Florida, but he liked his official visit with the Gators last weekend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
