Recruiting prediction: Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Game (Rivals)
4* WR Henry Ruggs
4* DE Ryan Johnson
4* S CJ Avery
4* WR Henry Ruggs
quote:
Latest: Ruggs refuses to name a leader but it seems as though Alabama has the inside track. Florida and Florida State remain involved and he plans to take his time with a decision, but the in-state Tide will be hard to beat here. Other schools are selling playing time. The Tide is selling a chance to stay home and play for a title.
Prediction: Alabama has too much pull with Ruggs and in-state products like him to miss out here.
4* DE Ryan Johnson
quote:
Latest: Stanford is the biggest threat to steal Johnson from the state of Alabama. Johnson has already visited Stanford once and will return for his official visit in the near future. Auburn will need to fight off the Cardinal to keep Johnson home.
Prediction: Auburn, but slightly. Johnson’s official visit to Stanford could easily swing this battle in favor of the Cardinal.
4* S CJ Avery
quote:
Latest: Avery is set to announce his decision on Dec. 14 and is coming off an official visit to Louisville earlier this month. Does that mean the Cardinals have the edge? Avery said at the beginning of the week that it's between Louisville and Auburn, but Mississippi State still appears to be in play as well.
Prediction: Auburn. Avery has spoken highly of the Cardinals, but something tells me he will end up announcing for the Tigers.

Is how good Jonah Williams was this year the reason Leatherwood is kind of looking around? I assume he'll stick with bama but the only thing I can think of is the assumption Williams will slide in to LT and be locked in there for two years and Leatherwood might not want to wait that long?

Not sure but if I had to guess I think it's more just him wanting to be 100% certain he is making right decision. He has 5 official visits so he is using them all to ensure he is landing at the right place. Tide have a 5* JUCO kid coming in as well along with 1 possibly 2 other 5* guys as well but that doesn't seem to fade many kids anymore so we will see. Granted AU is bringing in a 5* & another top 4* too so we don't have a ton of room to talk
I think Brahms coming here is a huge help for us. Leatherwood is good friends with both him and his sister and they are in turn real close with Hand. Brahms sis is rooming with Hand's daughter. I don't think it's going to be enough but our best hope is the relationships + recent OL NFL success wins him over. I will be shocked if it does but a part of me will believe it can happen until it doesnt

There is also a 5* recruit visiting this weekend that no one knows about. Will give a name later today once he actually arrives. Interested to see who it might be.
So any guesses on who this mystery recruit is if he exists? Going off Rivals 5* my best guesses would be
Aubrey Solomon - lots of smoke that we are rising up his list
AJ Terrell - We once were his top team long time ago. Pretty sure he is locked in with Clemson though
Honestly those are the only 2 that jump out as even remotely possible and they seem unlikely. Could be a JUCO kid. Will be hilarious if he is talking about Leatherwood

Well WarBlogle probably will ruin the surprise visit any second now. Just got to wait for it

Apparently Rice visit is done and he now heading to Athens. KN still thinks UGA the team to beat but apparently no one has good read on him
Also Buggs was considering visiting but apparently didn't make it in. I wonder if that is the 5* JLee was talking about

This means nothing but my uga friend who follows their recruiting closely said he thinks they are trailing on Solomon.

I think the feeling is Michigan team to beat right now with UGA & Bama in the next tier. AU just got back into play recently after Garner impressed momma Solomon. I think it's a longshot at this point but if he does in fact visit that weekend of the 20th anything can happen

I usually try not to copy & paste straight VIP stuff but I can't help it with this update by KN

An interesting note on Leatherwood: He had dinner at Hand's house one night -- and Hand cooked chicken alfredo.

Cam Akers move highlights Alabama-Mississippi rankings shakeup (247)
At start of this cycle I thought AU would sign the best LB in the state. That has proven true just not who I thought it would be
quote:
Auburn's linebackers are the truth
Tadarian Moultry continues his climb up the rankings following his dominant senior season and this week in Montgomery, he was the real deal. His enthusiasm is contagious, he can rush the passer effectively and he plays with violence and abandon in pursuit of the football. He'll be joined at Auburn by Kenney Britt who is the type of linebacker that gets better in pads. The two will be big-time hitters and tone setters on The Plains. Britt is up to a four-star and Moultry has moved into the national Top 50

TD deserves to be a 5 star prospect. Anything less would be uncivilized

Octavius Matthews no longer an EE apparently. Will enroll in May. KN says he is solid. Still sucks can't get him on campus sooner

I wonder if we still take him or go after another high school guy then.

From a Free Article on 247

I asked a high-placed source in the industry if they have heard Briles’ name come up for any opening across the country in recent week and I was quickly provided an emphatic no. Sources tell AuburnUndercover, however, reveal Briles has talked to at least three Power 5 schools and a pair of Group of Five schools about jobs.

Auburn's got its 'hat in the ring' for Tarik Black as decision nears (AL.com)
quote:
Tarik Black is expected to announce his commitment next Wednesday, and his head coach believes Auburn has a chance to land the coveted wide receiver who is considered to be a Michigan lean.
Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn and wide receivers coach Kodi Burns took an in-home visit to see Black on Tuesday. Two days later, Michigan's Jim Harbaugh and Jedd Fisch did the same.
"Auburn, with Coach Burns and Coach Malzahn have done an incredible job of really getting their hat in the ring," said David Dykeman, Black's head coach at Chesire Academy in Connecticut. "They've done a great job and I certainly think Auburn is in the picture. Michigan has certainly done an incredible job as well."
While traveling to Tuskegee for his brother's graduation last spring, Black made his way over to Auburn for a visit and the Tigers offered him on the spot. At 6-foot-4, 210 pounds, he has the size to replace Tony Stevens, who leads the team with 466 receiving yards and three touchdowns in his final season on the Plains.
Black returned to Auburn for his official visit Sept. 10 for the Arkansas State game. He now holds more than 40 offers and is a U.S. Army All-American. The four-star prospect is ranked as the No. 1 overall player in Connecticut and the No. 17 receiver in the nation by the 247Sports Composite.
"Tarik does it all," Dykeman said. "He played safety for us, caught touchdowns, had a touchdown out of the Wildcat, ran the ball in some different ways, special teams. He's an unbelievable football player."

Auburn commit a finalist for U.S. Army All-American Bowl award (AL.com)
quote:
Auburn commit Nick Brahms of Navarre, Fla., was named a finalist for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl's Felix "Doc" Blanchard Award Friday.
The award is presented to the player from the East Team that best "exhibits the same prowess as Blanchard in the classroom as well as on the field." Blanchard led the U.S. Military Academy to three undefeated seasons and won the Heisman Trophy in 1945.
Brahms, a 6-foot-4, 285-pound offensive guard, is up against Clemson quarterback commit Hunter Johnson, Notre Dame offensive tackle commit Josh Lugg and uncommitted linebacker Nate McBride for the award.
