Auburn recruiting is really, really heating up going into Big Cat Weekend...

After landing a commitment from highly decorated St. Paul's Episcopal's linebacker Tre' Williams, recruiting insiders seem to be changing their mind on one of the best running backs in the country; Oxford's Roc Thomas. Both Bryan Matthews and JC Shurburtt have changed their predictions to Auburn today. Whether or not something has changed, I don't know. I do know Bryan Matthews will have an update on him at the end of the week. I also have read that Alabama has been slow playing him due to the recruitment of Leonard Fournette.
Auburn is also expected to land Vigor defensive end Justin Thornton and former Prattville standout, now the starting safety of Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College, Derrick Moncrief within the next couple of days.

So.. one national analyst thinks Alabama, one thinks Auburn, and a Miami mod thinks Alabama.
Alabama knows where they stand with Fournette. They aren't putting all of their eggs in the Fournette sweepstakes.

Pie eating contest is going to seal the deal with Roc IMHO.

And the Alabama staff must think they're in pretty good shape right now. I'm not saying they're putting all their eggs in his sweepstakes, but they are going after him extremely hard.

Not knocking Roc Thomas, but who has him ranked as a 5-star?

Not surprising, considering they hand out so many 5 stars.

Landing Roc would be awesome. Great talent.

We've been recruiting well for years now, at least ranking wise. What I'm interested in is whether this new staff gets them on campus, keeps them there, and develops their potential. I also want to see more of a presence from Chette. You heard so much about him and his role during Tub's tenure, but nothing from the players under Chizik except for Lutzie in his goodbye letter.

Roc Thomas knows he can just commit to AU, set his signing bonus and have Bama come in and pay more at the end like Yeldon, Kouandjio, and the tattoo guy.

Saban loves flipping the instate players from Auburn. Give the Auburn fans some hope and snatch it away at the end. Tre Williams looks like a future flip.

Go away.

There is nothing about Tre Williams that looks like a flip...maybe Roc.

I'll end my hijack with this, and leave you Aubies to enjoy your offseason pie eating contest success....
Who said I was a non-believer?
No homo?
Alright, fellas. As you were.
