I love how DWarren spins it as if Bama would have gotten him fi they always pursued as a RB
He's such a huge Alabama homer.

If there's a prospect choosing between Alabama and Auburn, he always chooses Alabama. If there's a prospect choosing between Auburn and anybody else, he chooses the other school 95% of the time.

IMO, Barber will be too good to bench even with Jovon here
Jovon Robinson would definitely start over Peyton Barber, IMO.

As good as Peyton Barber can and will be, he isn't the talent that Jovon Robinson is...

I assume Jovon is a summer not spring enrollee (I don't know) here but I don't agree. Mostly because Barber will have the pass protection schemes down and he is an extremely good receiver out of the backfield.

I say he wouldn't be benched meaning he'd still get plenty of carries. Especially w a good year this season.

Interesting that Holland names us a co-leader with UF. He shows UF a lot more love. I wonder if he Ben Edwards and Tolliver ever talk about playing together in college

If we miss on Javon who will we pursue the hardest Patrick or Swinney?

247 hasn't talked about Patrick much. I don't know if it's because we have him lower on the board or because he's a less likely option to land.

He is #3 on the board behind KJ and Jovon but ahead of Swinney. Swinney is more likely though if we miss on KJ or Jovon. JP is #1 on FSU's RB board. AUC has not talked about either much because we are taking 2 and there's a descent chance we get both 1 & 2.

FSU 247 guy Josh Newberg just posted he think FSU has a good shot w/ KJ but too close to call. He later posted he hears whispers KJ may delay his choice, He says that's bad for FSU. He picks AU now if he had to bet his next paycheck on it.

E, what's this new "Bolts" thing on 247? Is it just like breaking news or something?

More or less. It just seems to be the newest information that's been posted throughout there network. Relevancy has seemed to be an issue from what I've seen.

It's basically team or recruiting blurbs all in 1 spot. My understanding is it allows a writer to make 1 post related to all the teams involved to each team's bolt feed and twitter w/ 1 click instead of having to go through manually and posting on each team's 247 site.It's been usedful for me so far. There has been 2 or 3 AU related info I have gotten a day on Bolts I would not have normally seen. I used to just wait for Bryan, Keith, or Austin to retweet stuff when AU related info did not originate from them.

It also allows all sites to post in that thread.

For example. If an article is about a recruit between auburn and bama then auburn and bama posters can post in that thread

That site is going to be a trollfest soon

A few Notes
-Jeff Holland is moving his commitment date from this Summer at The Opening to the Under Armour game in January
-4* OT Abdul Bello has AU in line to get 1 of his OVs next fall along with UF, FSU, Miami, and Vols
-3* OG Garrett Thomas has AU & Rebs standing out. Coach Grimes has paid this kid a lot of attention recently FWIW.

Yeah, I like the Bolts. You get to see the articles on kids that like AU, but originate on another teams site. If you can't sit and stare at Twitter all day, it is useful.
