Love to see Auburn flip and sign many top recruits that uga's thinks their going to get.

[80Tiger 899]

After reading that the title should be “ why 9 recruits are probably going to GA or AL and 1 going to AU”.

Have we ever flipped an UGA commit? Bulldog coaches always get the ones they want.  But sometimes a few of the 11-20 rated recruits in state of Georgia end up better than 1-10.  Same is probably true in all states I guess.

I can’t think of us flipping anybody but we’ve took top recruits in their state that they’ve really wanted

Darius Slayton and Dontavius Russell should come to mind immediately without even thinking about it.

No they don’t. We got four or five guys in the last class they wanted.

It’s all on their timelines on their recording pages on 247. Slayton was committed to Georgia for two months before flipping to Auburn the day before signing day. Russell was committed to Georgia for eight months before flipping to Auburn in late December.

Why would you miss Craig? I thought T-Will was your main 'Cruter Crush.

5-star OT Amarius Mims names final 10

ByKEITH NIEBUHR 23 hours ago 

Share8 Comments

One of Auburn's biggest and most important targets in the 2021 recruiting cycle is down to his final 10 schools. Five-star offensive tackle Amarius Mims of Cochran (Ga.) Bleckley County released his list via Twitter on Wednesday. Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, LSU, Oklahoma, Oregon and Tennessee made the cut.

Mims, the No. 2 tackle and No. 8 overall recruit nationally in the industry generated 247Sports Composite, plans to announce his college commitment Oct. 14.

At this time, Mims has Alabama on top with Georgia second, Clemson third and LSU fourth, he told Kipp Adams of 247Sports. Auburn currently sits in the No. 5 spot.

"Love their coach and facilities," he told Adams.

Mims has visited Auburn three times since last November, starting with the Iron Bowl -- an Auburn win over the Tide. He already has returned twice this year -- once in February and again in March.

“It feels like home when I’m here,” Mims said. “I feel at home. I’m going to keep coming back.”

Mims is the No. 1 prospect in the state of Georgia. On both trips to Auburn this year, the 6-feet-7.5, 315-pound standout not only met with Auburn football coaches but stuck around to watch the Auburn basketball team play.

For the Tigers, Mims is a priority recruit to new offensive line coach Jack Bicknell.

“It’s been good,” Mims said of their relationship. “He’s a friendly coach and I like him. He tries to get to know you and everything. I mean, that’s the key thing, trying to get to know your position coach.”

According to Mims, Auburn’s need at tackle “definitely” is significant to him.

“That’s very important,” Mims said. “Everybody needs tackles, especially to protect the quarterback’s back side.”

Here is his most recent 247Sports evaluation, courtesy of Charles Power: "Possesses an elite combination of size and length for an offensive tackle. Has rare length by way of long arms and big hands along with a sturdy build with room to add some muscle to his frame. On the hoof, looks as good as you could hope for at this stage for an offensive tackle prospect. Already is over 300 pounds without much bad weight. Shows his athletic ability while playing both ways at offensive tackle and defensive end. Moves well at the second level, using quick feet and his length to get his hands on linebackers. Shows good flexibility and bends at the knees. Has some pop in his hands and easily plants opposing defensive linemen on contact. Will need to continue getting stronger and refining his pass set technique. Looks to have a very high upside early on and should develop into a top national prospect. Has the ultimate upside of developing into a multi-year starter at the Power 5 level and eventual high NFL Draft pick."

1-2 won't do. We are currently in good shape at LB. We didn't get there by signing one or two a year and that number won't keep us there either.

Then how many LB’s should we sign?

Well, since we normally play 2 the majority of the game and we have solid depth and development, then I'd say 17 or 18 per class
