It looks like unless we get Derrick Brown we'll probably be around 270 or maybe a little under. That was around #10-12 last year. Sounds about right.

Would really like one big surprise, I would consider Brown a surprise, like that to go along with NCM and Jayvaughn and Mbosse.

When you look at what AU goes against considering UGA has state of Georgia (although they don't lock it up all that well), LSU with Louisiana and Bama it's pretty freaking amazing how well Auburn has done. Also big reason we are so up and down year to year because we just can't afford to ever really miss

Does anyone know why Marlon Davidson dropped from a 5* to a 4* on 247?

You would be the only one likely anywhere that thinks that.

We have been trying all season to flip him. He's been solid to UK thus far. We can't even get him to OV here and he only lives a few hours away.


from what I read and heard that's not correct at all.

1. He's visiting this weekend fwih
2. We've stayed in touch all year, never pushed.
3. It's still possible that we wouldn't take him as it depends on what happens with Jayvaughn Myers supposedly.

A few interesting notes from TWR

NCM & Tre Nixon will not both be takes now given the cramped 2016 counter spots. 1st come 1st serve.

AU likely only signs 5 more leaving the remaining 3 spots for potential GTs & possibly putting P Kevin Phillips on scholly

If we miss on Dickerson, & Price, Prince Sammons will be who AU pushes for at OT & feel they have a good shot at getting

EMB is not an option for AU


*My opinion based on what I've read is it looks like SDj will be the 2nd LB in this class although it has not been stated as such.

That's dumb considering there isn't an above average SEC talent that has any playing time on our roster right now.

I have nothing against the kid but Kevin Phillips is not a very good punter. How could his performance last year warrant giving him a scholarship?

Didn't Keith CB Mbosse to AU in the last day or two?

Tre Threat and SDj what a fricking shite show of a lb class.

When LSU and Bama hang 200 rushing yards on us again next year maybe Gus will realize LBs are important in the SEC.

Take 5 wrs and 1 moderate lb. Only something Gus Malzahn would do.

I mean I fully expect us to get Nate and Jayvaughn and Davis Jr. and don't really expect us to get any of the others unless Character sticks.

I don't think we have any chance with Warrior or Nixon. No clue about Simmons but seems like a reach.

Price and Brown I expect to end up at UGA and really, while I would take Price and hope he figures it out I won't lose any sleep if we don't get him based on his issues.

Brown is the only prospect I think we have any shot at that is not already committed or that we don't already lead for. I guess if Nate has a good visit to Ole Miss that could make it interesting with him on SD but that's not something I want to happen.

Any chance the weather keeps Brown from getting to Athens? haha

We are only taking 4 WRs, hence the 1st com 1st serve w/ Nate & Tre Nixon.
