We'll see... Elder is not a RB and may not be playing football, Folston is committed and appears to be a longshot, and ford is no lock. I'd say at this point in the game, high school RB recruiting has been a struggle.

And that's what happens when you change an entire staff 2 months before signing day. I'd love to have big time RB's lining up to play for us, but that's just not the reality of it this year. I think we end up with at least Ford. Elder would be great as a change of pace guy, but I can see us taking 2-3 very good RB's next year when the coaches have some more time to build those relationships.

Not to mention hiring a baby back bitch of a RB coach who flakes out a couple weeks after signing his contract

I think Ford's as close to a lock as you can get, but it will be an uneasy next 4-5 days. If he unofficially visits this weekend, he's in the bag.

If we didn't already have CAP signed, I'd be worried. But I'm worrying about other positions right now. We've got Mason and CAP and will likely add Ford. And nobody has a clue what Grant's role will in this offense. I don't see why he couldn't be our scatback.

But RB is down the list on positions I worry about. We need Foster, and we need Lawson. That's what I care about right now.

Don't worry about a big back Dyer will be walking on in a matter of weeks.

We are mighty thin at RB. We need a couple of freshmen in this class and next.

Just an observation, Greg Bryant was on Jhokes hot board last weekend (he isn't this week). Does that not seem strange to anyone considering his teammate Marcus Davis just committed to us, and the fact that Bryant was still considering us? Perhaps one if the potential "unannounced visitors." That sure would solve the running back crisis we seem to be having

USCe is the team to beat for Walton. Still have a chance but doesn't look good

Ship has pretty much sailed with Folston.

Ford not expected to visit anywhere this weekend. AU lock

Things look good for Elder, Mackensie Alexander, and Mackenro Alexander.

M. Adams coming with his mom. Auburn has work to do as we all know.

Still looking very good with Foster and Lawson.

Daniel coming with Mom, Lawson with Mom and Dad, Foster with Mom.

DeVondre Seymour is a take and is visiting this weekend. All-pro Richard Seymour will be visiting with him.

Deon Mix visiting with Mom, Aunt and sister

Bower on plane towards AU right now.

JJ and Toney visiting this weekend.

Tony Stevens and Dominic Walker staying solid despite FSU pursuing.

I like hearing alot of family members are coming down this weekend with the recruits. Isn't Lawson's party more than just his mom and dad?

So pumped for this week. If we pickup up Lawson, Foster, and Alexander our defense is going to be back to elite if we can develop them
