RunInRed 16,430 Posted December 17, 2011 Share Posted December 17, 2011 Visiting AU this weekend... Just touched down in Atlanta, on my way to Auburn... These coaches are funny ... About to go to their banquet ... Eating good in Auburn ... liking it so far. ... Chilling with players ... Feel kind of comfortable down here ... Just did some media stuff for Auburn...it went really well..they showing major love down south!! @Jordan76simeon Also per his Twitter account, his top 5 are AU, Arky, Michigan, Ohio State and Wisconsin. Jordan Diamond, OT Chicago, IL 6'6 290 Offers: Arkansas, Arizona, Arizona State, Auburn, Florida State, Illinois, Indiana, Iowa, Kansas, Miami (Fl.), Michigan, Michigan State, Mississippi, Northwestern, Notre Dame, Ohio State, Oregon, Tennessee, Vanderbilt, West Virginia, and Wisconsin, among others. 247Sports: 4* Top247 (71) ESPN: 4* ESPNU150 (94) Rivals: 4* Scout: 5* Diamond has a nice frame with long arms and a solid base in his legs. He's a naturally strong kid who drives defenders down field and does a nice job finishing his blocks. He has experience in pass protection and does a nice job of using his arm length and locking out on pass rushers. Would like to see him keep working on getting quicker and more nimble. Likely a right tackle or possibly even a guard in college.http://auburn.scout.com/a.z?s=6&p=8&c=1&nid=4822082 Diamond displays a great deal of playing strength as a dominant run blocker. Has the ability to overpower defenders both on and off the line of scrimmage. Possesses the size and athleticism for the offensive tackle position at the major level of competition...http://espn.go.com/college-sports/football/recruiting/player/_/id/87943/jordan-diamond (premium) <iframe width="600" height="400" src="http://www.youtube.com/embed/oUrgoQH_PZM" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen></iframe> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AUtiger98 24 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Ohio State. Does it still look like OSU? They only picked up two OTs so I would guess so. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
metafour 4,969 Posted February 2, 2012 Share Posted February 2, 2012 Does it still look like OSU? They only picked up two OTs so I would guess so. No; I believe they only have one spot left (for Diggs). Diamond looks like Michigan right now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

autigeremt 6,644 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I was "told" that Grimes has been pushing hard. I hope it's us, but I also think Michigan is slightly ahead of us. We'll see in a few hours. However, there's some AU sites, etc. that think we have a very good chance to get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LegalEagle 22 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Michigan has already signed 25 this year: http://recruiting.sc...=9&c=14&yr=2012 Michigan only signed 19 in 2011: http://recruiting.sc...=9&c=14&yr=2011 Big Ten follows different rules than the SEC and NCAA. I am not familiar with them. Can they now sign Diamond and back count him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

McWeagle 4 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 FWIW: Seriously though, that fake Marky Murphy tweet might have been fake, but I'm hearing good things about Diamond signing with Auburn.@WarBlogle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tigermike 3,037 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 Rumors are that Michigan has been eliminated. That probably means it's Michigan. Hopefully he will sign with AUBURN. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RunInRed 16,430 Posted February 3, 2012 Author Share Posted February 3, 2012 Jordan Diamond, one of the top offensive line recruits in the country, is set to announce his college decision on Friday night. The announcement will take place during a ceremony scheduled to start at 7 p.m. CST. These events often take much longer than one might expect, and having to wait until 7:30 or 8 CST to hear Diamond's decision would not be surprising in the least.... Some rumors have Diamond as a lock to attend Auburn, while others state that he will choose either Wisconsin or Arkansas. And as of Thursday night, Diamond had not officially eliminated Michigan, either. This has been an intense recruitment and the winner will get an excellent prospect. http://www.sbnation.com/college-football-recruiting/2012/2/3/2768076/jordan-diamond-announce-commitment-friday-auburn-michigan-wisconsin-arkansas Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,107 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 It would definitely be a great pull. This is already a great OL class following up a great class last year. We're going to be young up front no matter how it shakes out this year, but there is a ton of talent in the Freshman and Sophomore classes. Add Diamond and/or Kozan, and it's an even better situation. Sophomore - Slade (OT), Dismukes (C ), Mack (OG), Fariyike (C ) RS Freshmen - Robinson (OT), Westerman (OG), O'Reilly (OG) Tr Freshmen - Miller (OT), Callahan (OT), Young (OT), Leff (OT/OG) Diamond projects as an OT. Kozan is a OG all the way. That's a pretty solid stable of OL prospects. The bad news is, we only have two upperclassmen on the roster: Sullen and Burgess. So it doesn't matter who wins positions or spots on the depth chart. It's going to be all young guys up front. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,107 Posted February 3, 2012 Share Posted February 3, 2012 I love Shon and hope I get to include him one day, but at this point, he's not a factor on the roster. He won't go through spring ball, and we have no idea if he will go through fall two-a-days. I didn't list all the walk-ons either. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
