Sources: Huntsville prep basketball star Josh Langford to sign with AuburnBy Kevin Scarbinsky -- The Birmingham News Tony Barbee's first recruiting trip as the Auburn coach, the morning after he was introduced, took him to Lee High School in Huntsville to check on Josh Langford. That trip is about to pay dividends. Langford is expected to announce shortly, at a press conference at his high school, that he'll be Barbee's first Auburn signee, according to people familiar with his decision. Read more...

Don't be surprised if Barbee lands another Alabama native soon in 6-8 Luke Cothron, who's from Huntsville but played this last season at a prep school in North Carolina.

TitanTiger 20,506 Posted April 22, 2010 Share Posted April 22, 2010 I heard he may not qualify. Any doubts? From the Scout article on him: Brown noted that Auburn may have been waiting to see how Langford did on his ACT. The coach said after Langford took care of that “the floodgates opened†and offers began pouring in from around the country. Can't quote the rest because it's premium content. Brown is his HS head coach. Evidently he's good and plans to enroll this summer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure it's not easy getting back in the door when it turns out they pass everything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mikey 16,670 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Good for him. I know a lot of schools backed off when he was having trouble. I'm sure it's not easy getting back in the door when it turns out they pass everything. A good recruiter wouldn't have slammed the door in his own face, particularly when dealing with the #1 prospect in Alabama. It didn't take Barbee long to close the deal.

RunInRed 16,454 Posted April 23, 2010 Share Posted April 23, 2010 Barbee: Langford huge recruit Tony Barbee made Josh Langford his top recruiting priority, visiting the standout forward just hours after being announced as Auburn’s head coach. A month later, Langford inked with Auburn becoming the first signee of the Barbee era. "I'm excited that Josh has decided to join the Auburn Family," said Barbee. "He is a huge recruit for me and for the program as we try to establish Auburn as one of the programs to beat on the floor and in recruiting in the Southeast. “In getting the best player in the state of Alabama in the Class of 2010 was a very important to establish that we are going to go after the best, and Josh is the best in Alabama this year.†The Birmingham News tabbed Langford as the state’s No. 1 prospect on its Super Seniors list following a standout senior season as he led Lee High School to the Class 5A state championship earning Tournament MVP honors. The 6-foot-7, 207-pounder averaged 21.2 points and 12 rebounds as a senior. Read more... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
