Nope. It's even more educated guessing than usual.

We can put Golson to Auburn to bed per JH. He will visit Ole Miss again this weekend and likely commit. He still hears positives on Folston and feels we are making a strong push. Lashlee visiting Walton tomorrow. Gus and Horton will in-home with Ford. Believes it's an Auburn, UTk, FSU battle w/ AU favored.

I don't think our insiders have had a good grasp on our recruiting for a while now. Hope it changes this upcoming recruiting year.

FOSTER
LAWSON
SMITH
STEVENS
JOHNSON
FORD
CUNNINGHAM
BOWER
TONEY
ARTIS PAYNE
DANZEY
MARSHALL
HARDING
BRADLEY
FLOWERS
ROBINSON
MELTON
KING
WALTON
WALKER
DAVIS
HUTCHINSON
CARLSON

That will leave us with 4 spots to go and will put us in the 10-15 range.

Also have a shot at Alexander, Adams, Barber, Elder, Folston, and Mix.

Is this your best guess at the puzzle and connecting the dots? Or is this based on solid info or sources? I mean that more for the Foster, Lawson at top of your list.

Would love to snag him. He looks like Mario Fannin with better moves. Who's his primary recruiter? DC?

Interesting free post from BMatt

Auburn likes most of the RB's it's recruiting and would take just about any two and probably a third if he wanted to come. The four you mentioned (Barber, Elder, Folston, and Ford) are definitely all takes.

I don't have any sources besides here and 247. Everybody in the list is very likely. The guys we have an outside shot at are guys we could get but aren't as likely.

I would be happy with your list and a couple of the bottom chances you listed. That would be a damn fine job by this staff, not that they aren't doing a good job regardless.

Yeah I don't have any sources myself except Aut4liyfe or whatever that genius name is.

If we get Foster, Lawson, and a quality RB, I'm satisfied. Anybody else is just icing on the cake.

I WANT to land Foster, Lawson, Alexander and a couple of RBs, but we HAVE to hold on to Foster and Lawson. If we don't sign anybody else on Signing Day, I'll be content if we can get those two. Both are program-changers for our defense.

Lawson has always been the one I want most. I will be a sad Tiger should he sign elsewhere.

FWIW I differ a bit. I don't think Cunningham is a take anymore. I don't think Hutch sticks. I would add Folston/Barber and Mix plus the 4 or 5 best available.

Hutch might go but I think we still go with Cunningham.

The list is just people that very likely. I don't consider any of those to be in that category yet.

Fwiw I differ too, but I'll give my list first week of March after I have had a chance to confirm with sources.

Individually Folston and Barber are not likely but the coaches are passionately wanting 2 more backs. 1 being Ford and the combined of Folston or Barber as the primary makes it likely IMO we get 1 of them. From us dropping Bell and Mix decommitting from Moo St while setting up the AU OV the same day makes him likely IMO.

I'm not sold on us signing Cunningham. Seems like we cooled on him a lot going off what Hokanson and other premium guys have insinuated.
