Guess you all missed the part where Mike Farrell picked Adams to Auburn. He also tweeted this morning that there was a lot about buzz for AU with Adams, which goes along with all the chatter last night.

Farrell's not always right --who is in recruiting? -- but he's their national guy. There's a lot of talk that Adams has already told the coaching staffs he will sign with AU.

We'll see, but we should feel great about Adams right now.

It's to the point where feeling great will come at this time tomorrow...

and to what someone said on Bowers... I would hope he's been upfront with the coaches on his commitment. I agree... on the surface, it seems pretty low to stay committed holding a spot and then switch on NSD.... but that's the game.

I think bowers goes if we get Elijah Daniel. If he does then I don't blame him. Would live to have them both of course.

Bower is set to sign before Daniel so that's out the window

I expect he would tell the coaches today and I would hope our coaches are honest with bowers if that's his caveat. And as we know from Cyrus an announcement does not mean the loi is in the fax machine.

Stolen from the fam:

Ford was doing a radio interview and said "I can't wait to play in CGM's offense."


Sounding good for AU.

I really want him and Barber.

FWIW, ST updated his projections.

Alexander Bros went from 50% to 60%.

Adams dropped to 60%.

Daniel down to 50%. Bower at 50%.

Ford at 95%. Toby Johnson 65%.

Mix and Elder at 60%.

Day before signing day he drops everyone to close to 50/50 so he doesn't look wrong. At least it seems that way every year.

Predictions are funny.

All predictions are 50/50...either they sign with Auburn or they dont. There is no 90%.

Good question. All of our pay sites reported last night that we were leading for Adams, and Clemson and 'Bama's mods even said Auburn was now leading.

Unless something has changed, which is definitely possible, it's a strange updated percentage. But I can understand not wanting to get fans giddy only for something to happen later. It is recruiting after all.

Heard on WJOX that Zach Cunningham may be back in play with Reuben Foster committing to Bammer....

He had Adams at 70% yesterday and said it would drop if RF announced Bama.

I personally think he is just sticking to what he said and ignoring some of the new rumors today (like Clemson guys becoming much less confident). Or maybe he thinks it is really just between us and bama, which I sorta think it is more us and clemson.

Also, some maybe not so great news on Mack Alexander...

Sammy Watkins is claiming he just told Sammy today he is coming to Clemson. Clemson's recruiting guy posted things were looking up or he felt better about Mack A today as well.

ETA: Here is the quote:

quote:

Per Travis Sawchik on Twitter, Sammy Watkins just predicted M Alexander to CU because "I just talked to him."

Was talking with someone last night who i respect in regards to things of this nature and he fears we may have shot ourselves in the foot with him because we were confident in RF.

His HS coach was on the radio the other day and was really talking up Oregon and Vandy and the manner in which they recruit. Not sure if that is indicative of anything or not.
