Uncommitted spotlight: Predictions on four Southeast prospects (Rivals)
quote:
4* LB Tyler Taylor
Despite being ranked in the Rivals250 for nearly a year, Taylor hasn’t received the type of publicity that other recruits have garnered. But with LSU, Oklahoma and Auburn all battling for his services, there’s no doubt he’s well deserving of attention. Taylor kept a low profile following visits to all three schools and right now all three view him as an important member of the class. However, Auburn has been the one consistent in his recruitment and after getting the last official visit, the Tigers have the advantage.
Prediction: Auburn

Flip from UNC to Auburn a 'no-brainer' for Traivon Leonard (AL.com)
quote:
After flipping his commitment from North Carolina to Auburn last month, cornerback Traivon Leonard took his official visit to the Plains last weekend.
When it was over, the standout from West Palm Beach, Fla., explained the decision to step away from the Tar Heels and join the Tigers was not a difficult one. It was actually his third pledge, as he was previously committed to Florida Atlantic.
"Definitely the atmosphere and the family feeling you get here," Leonard said of Auburn. "It's closer to home, and obviously my mom. My mom did go here, so it's a no-brainer."
Just four days after he committed to Auburn, former Tigers secondary coach Wesley McGriff left to become the defensive coordinator at Ole Miss. That opened the door for a late push from Florida, but on Sunday Leonard announced his decision is final after spending time on the Plains with his coaches and fellow commits.
Leonard said he "clicked pretty fast" with the other recruits and is eager to prove himself to McGriff's successor, Greg Brown.
