He is being recruited as a safety/Star position, not as a traditional LB. Will he really have to have good hands getting off blocks in that case?

Natthews is expecting another decommitment FWIW. My guess is Hutch.

Considering the Star has to be good against the run, even as far as coming up and playing at the LOS, yes, he definitely needs to be able to get off blocks. More-so than any other player in the secondary.

And secondary players who can't get off blocks are why bubble screens end up going for big plays/TDs. A big problem our secondary has had for the past two years.

I agree with all of this.

Ever since the hullabaloo started over Jimmy Hutchinson, no one can say his name. It's always "the punter."

Has the SEC recruiting board always been this bad? This new found success in recruiting with Ole Miss has fans coming out the woodworks and posting non stop along with the MSU fans.

Still not sure if it was last night or tonight. There are conflicting reports.

Alright, my bad. I thought we were first of the week, and Nebraska was tonight or tomorrow, and then he'd make the decision.

Tarean Folston

Notre Dame commitment Tarean Folston visited Auburn this weekend. In many reports, he has spoken fondly of the visit and the coaching staff. He remains committed to Notre Dame and will make a decision on National Signing Day. Therefore, it appears that he is not really committed to Notre Dame. If a player has to make a decision between two schools then he is not committed to one school or another. He merely has a leader. In this case, Folston’s leader is Notre Dame. But, based on Folston’s comments, Notre Dame should not feel good about their chances with him. If NSD was today, Folston would probably be an Auburn Tiger.

Marshall answered your question with a Folston article. Also Tony Stevens was a surprise. Nobody knew he was on the radar til he tweeted Friday morning he was driving to Auburn for a visit.

I would love for folston to come to auburn but I'd rather have Derrick Green. There's a reason rivals has him as the best rb in the country and he reminds me a little of my favorite auburn back I've watched play in Ben Tate. Will folston hurt our chances with him? I wouldn't think it would considering they'd have different roles and would both see the field a lot.
