Why even ask then? You know to use yellow font or an emoji for sarcasm with me. We've both been on this board over a decade now.

"Hugh, is that you?" was the implication. Sorry I didn't use the Ellitor font or flash the Ellitor signal.

@WDE_OxPx_2010 I apologize for stupidly getting frustrated for no damn reason.

Big update, sorry I have been MIA

Some thoughts by position:

QB: We're done here. Don't be discouraged by Walker White falling down the rankings. He had some situations where he couldn't attend important camps/events that the rankers hold highly. In my humble opinion, he is easily a top 10 QB in this class if not top 5. We beat Clemson to get him FWIW.

RB: "Phat" Burnett is an okay RB in this class but the staff definitely wants a second guy. Kevin Riley is all Miami at this point and I don't like our odds of pulling a California RB. Durham is on the downswing for us. If we want Watson I think he is ours for the taking... we'll know pretty soon after BCW what Auburn's intentions are with Watson.

WR: This could be the next Alabama troll job but I honestly believe we land Perry Thompson; his choice to come to BCW over their BBQ is great. Malcolm Simmons is ours if he is a take and we'll know soon after BCW. Craver is a backup plan I think we can land whenever. Cam Coleman asked for more money than anyone in our area believed he was worth; TAMU was willing to overpay.

TE: No telling what the plan is here. Collins is okay but we don't seem to be in it for anyone else right now. Might need to prove we'll use the position. Saleapaga is coming to BCW so maybe we gain some momentum.

IOL: Jameson Riggs and DeAndre Carter are the two we're hoping to land. If we miss on those two after not landing Poe and Taumua we will have to reset the board. If Riggs attends BCW I think he is a lock to AU but if he doesn't we've likely passed. Carter will be at BCW.

OT: I think we're safe with Baker and his visit to BCW will help. No real momentum with Malamala so we'll need to shuffle the board to find our next OT targets.

DL: I think Blocton is better than his ranking. We have a lot of momentum for Nicolas and Lindsey which would fill up our spots for this class. Kamarion Franklin takes priority but it's a tough battle. 

Jack: we love Phillips and we're done.

LB: Barber is okay, Simmons is trending and alright. Demarcus Riddick is the big door prize we want badly. Shaw is the backup plan for Riddick.

CB: we needed 3 and I believe we will finish with three 4* players. Can't ask for much else.

S/NB: Lane and Faustin are solid. Bolden would be a statement win. I think Patterson is ours if we push hard enough.

There's one committed to another SEC school that we are in a good spot to flip.

Solomon and Haywood are takes as well. Solomon commits the same day as KJ. Haywood is interested in playing Corner

@southern_sports Can't. August is a dead period & HS games start in mid August. Once the eval period starts in September we likely won't know till the week of each game.

Ok figured it would be a week-to-week thing. I didn't know if he had made a statement or something regarding it. Thank you for the insight!

Thanks!

Little unfortunate to see OL being our biggest weakness position group (outside maybe TE). Carter will be a good get, but missed on virtually the rest of the board.  Need more out of Thorton.

Hopefully we can flip a guy or some late bloomer pops

We are working on 1.

[autan 754]

I don't know who it is, but there are at least four OTs that AU recruited for a while, who have since committed to SEC programs. If Auburn slow played them a little it might not be an easy flip. I always felt like the staff wanted a big splash like Calhoun or Poe to commit first to say we're back but that didn't happen, so we do need to land at least two or three HS kids I would hope. These prospects are SEC quality. I say flip. Flip U is OK for these first couple of years until we get back our respect. WDE!!
