You're right about that. He had visited Bama numerous times on UV and officials. Bama had let him know they would officially offer him soon.

I took you that long? Damn You're stingy w/ the follows. What's your TH?

Anyway, I don't think AU ever had a chance as long as Bama offered. He wore Bama gloves at the state title game.

KN and hoke have some somewhat cryptic tweets this afternoon about us offering a bunch of OTs for the 2016 class... hinting at the fact someone might be leaving or the coaches aren't crazy out our tackle situation?... or maybe I'm reading too much into it?

Per Scout 3* C Brett Heggie will be at the big junior day on March 7th. We have not offered yet but he said Coach Grimes told him AU was taking a C in this class and that BH was the #1 target FWIW.

This is my guess, specifically LT. Keith answered the why here.

I mentioned a while ago that Tackle would be an obvious need in this class. We took only one in '15, and that one (Sharpe) is a project/not exactly a guaranteed starter. We just lost Patrick Miller, and there is a very real possibility that both Coleman and Young leave after next year. We need to sign the next wave.

Coleman is already over 23 years old. If he improves and has a good season it would probably be in his best interest to try the NFL next season versus waiting until he is 25+ years old.

TJ Simmons just committed to Alabama.

Didn't Jones say he really loved Auburn or something like that?

This is where our TJ Simmons conversation happened. I was trying to figure out more about him because he was under the radar. And sure enough, Bama came in and scooped him up

Damn! We have offered 11 tackles for 2016 in the past 10 days. That's crazy. 15 overall OTs offered in this class.

Besides Harrell, 2015 will end up being a lost class on the OL.

I also like Kim but w/ Golson only being 1 year ahead of these guys you are likely looking at only 2 spots down the line for the 4 mentioned players

This interior group has the potential to be very good down the line -- Harrell and carr at guard... Kim at center.
