toddc 13,194 Posted August 5, 2023 Share Posted August 5, 2023 (edited) Not too shabby. Solomon is the 15th member of the Tigers' 2024 class. He joins fellow defensive backs A'Mon Lane , Jayden Lewis, Kensley Faustin And Jalyn Crawford linebackers D'Angelo Barber Joseph Phillips and Demarcus Riddick along with lineman Malik Blocton on the defensive side of the ball. Offensively, Auburn has commitments from quarterback Walker White , running back J'Marion Burnette , tight end Martavious Collins , wide receivers Bryce Cain Malcolm Simmons and Perry Thompson .

Good job by Freeze & co so far and that's a signif number but careful, ole Gus had top 10ish recruiting classes while signing virtually no O linemen and certainly missing some real needs.

Notre Dame's test composite scores and grades requirements are high. I don't think it's fair to compare them in a recruiting standpoint with Auburn. They are on par with Vandy and Ga Tech.

We haven’t gotten the HS OL yet, but CHF absolutely pillaged the portal to get us an OL. (something that wasn’t really a possibility for most of Gus’ time here) Also, CHF’s philosophy and strategy for recruiting OL is much, much different than Gus. That won’t be a consistent issue moving forward. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

toddc 13,194 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 Next man up: Here is a look at Auburn's top targets following Jalewis Solomon's commitment Taylor Jones Auburn’s 2024 class got stronger over the weekend, as four-star athlete Jalewis Solomon announced his commitment to the Tigers over South Carolina. The commitment is a huge win for Auburn, as they now have a top-25 class in both the On3 and 247Sports rankings. The Tigers have the SEC’s eighth-best recruiting class to date and have the fourth-best class in the nation based on average grade per commit. Buy Tigers Tickets As Hugh Freeze would tell you, Auburn can not be satisfied. He and his staff will find ways to make this class stronger before Early Signing Day, which is set for Dec. 20. Which recruits have the best chance of committing to Auburn? We took a look at which players are trending toward the Tigers based on predictions from On3 and 247Sports and compiled a list of the top ten players to watch as the month of August prepares to hit its middle stages. Here are ten players to keep an eye on as high school football season begins. 10 Dimitry Nicolas John Reed-USA TODAY Sports RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 3-starDLOpa Locka, FloridaAuburn: 93%None Dimitry Nicolas has been a quiet target for the Auburn Tigers, but they feel great about landing him. Nicolas is coached by former Tiger Junior Rosegreen and received a prediction to Auburn back in July from On3. 9 Jayden Coleman Jeremy Brevard-USA TODAY Sports RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 3-starCBPhenix City, AlabamaAuburn: 31.5%None Auburn struck out with one player named “Coleman” from Phenix City, but they are not going down without a fight. His recruitment has been quiet recently, but he told On3 last September that he “feels more at home” with every trip to Auburn. 8 Kaleb Harris Gary Cosby Jr.-USA TODAY Sports RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 3-starSAlabaster, AlabamaAuburn: 34.2%South Carolina Hugh Freeze has a way of making a strong connection with in-state players and could lock in another with three-star DB Kaleb Harris. Harris hails from Alabaster and plays high school football for perennial power Thompson. One service has Auburn ahead, while another shows the Tigers battling with SEC foe South Carolina. It will be fun to watch his recruitment unfold. 7 Bradley Shaw Shanna Lockwood-USA TODAY Sports RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 4-starLBHoover, AlabamaAlabama: 23.8%None Shaw is the state of Alabama’s No. 7 prospect for the 2024 class and is the second-highest uncommitted prospect behind Jordan Ross of Vestavia Hills. Shaw recently visited Auburn during Big Cat Weekend and says that the Tigers are staying persistent in their pursuit of him. Alabama and Notre Dame have been Auburn’s top challengers, but Clemson has joined the mix after extending an offer to him on July 30. 6 Steve Mboumoua Brandon Sumrall/Getty Images RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 4-starEDGESaint-Augustin de Desmaures, QubecAuburn: 48.6%None Hello, Canada! Auburn’s top prospect from “The Great White North” is an EDGE rusher from Quebec, Steve Mboumoua. Mboumoua’s recruitment is starting to heat up, as he has heard from Auburn, Alabama, and Florida to this point. He only has a rating from On3 and ESPN so far, so expect that to change as the season rolls along. 5 JaCorey Whitted AP Photo/Stew Milne RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 4-starTEMcCalla, AlabamaAuburn: 31.9%None Jacorey Whitted is another top player from the state of Alabama that has received attention from Hugh Freeze. On3 has given Auburn an edge over Tennessee and Michigan State, while 247Sports has Arkansas and Mississippi State trending. According to Danny West of 247Sports, Whitted was supposed to visit Arkansas two weeks ago but failed to show. So his recruitment remains a mystery heading into the middle of August. 4 Reese Baker Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 3-starOLMadison, AlabamaAuburn: 99.6%Auburn The first recruit on this list that On3 and 247Sports can agree on is Reese Baker. Baker is a heavy favorite to commit to Auburn according to both sites, with Jax State and UAB being the Tigers’ only competition. Baker attended Big Cat Weekend and received a prediction from On3’s Jeffrey Lee on July 28. He could very well be the Tigers’ next commitment. 3 TJ Lindsey Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 4-starDLBradenton, FloridaAuburn: 82.2%Auburn/Texas A&M Auburn has trended upward at a rapid pace over the last two weeks. He missed out on Big Cat Weekend due to a conflict with reporting to IMG Academy for the upcoming school year, but the Tigers have continued their pursuit. As of July 28, Texas A&M had a 52% chance to land him. Now, Auburn is the overwhelming favorite with an 82% chance according to On3. 2 Mario Craver Brandon Sumrall/Getty Images RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 4-starWRPinson, AlabamaAuburn: 38.8%Florida If you are a fan of Alabama High School football, you may want to keep an eye on Clay-Chalkville this season. The Cougars have six seniors in 247Sports top-45 rankings this season, four of which are in the top 30. Mario Craver is the top uncommitted prospect from Clay-Chalkville, and Auburn appears to be in a battle with Florida for his services. On3’s Corey Bender predicted in June that Craver would choose Auburn over the Gators, so that is something to watch. 1 DeAndre Carter Todd Van Emst/AU Athletics RatingPositionHometownOn3 RPM247Sports Crystal Ball 4-starOTSanta Ana, CaliforniaAuburn: 93.6%Auburn Auburn needs an offensive lineman for the 2024 class, and DeAndre Carter may be the guy. Carter has made two visits to the Plains since receiving an offer on June 7. 247Sports reports that he could announce his commitment in the next week or two, so be on the lookout for another big-time commitment in the near future. 1 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,777 Posted August 9, 2023 Share Posted August 9, 2023 I'm particularly happy that Freeze is recruiting in-state players. For the past several years it felt like AU was turning its back on local talent. We have to keep a core of Alabama grown talent if we want consistent success on the field. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
