That's friggin funny.

So the JAD or McMichael flips are not happening right

Doesn't look like it. Also not sure if Kelvin Joseph made the trip. Saivion Smith is still on OV so we will see what happens there
If can't get any of these guys on board with momentum probably take either CD Daniels or Cam Taylor. I would prefer Taylor

Auburn offensive guard target Trey Hill recaps official visit after Iron Bowl victory (SECCountry)
Let's whoop UGA's arse one more time & land this dude the next week
quote:
AUBURN, Ala. — Trey Hill has seen Auburn enough times to know what to expect from Jordan-Hare Stadium.
This weekend, on his official visit, the Tigers’ fan base impressed even him.
“It’s just the Iron Bowl. The Iron Bowl is a great game. This game was even better than the Georgia game. Just the atmosphere, the best of Alabama. That’s basically what it is,” Hill said. “It’s very important to see them knock off two No. 1 teams. First of all, if you’re a recruit, it’s great to see. That could strengthen stuff in the recruiting process.”
This was Hill’s first official visit.
He originally planned to take all five of his official visits, but he admitted “the weeks are getting cut short,” so he might not be able to do all of them. So far, no dates are set in stone, but Hill expects he’ll take an official visit to Georgia. Clemson and “maybe somewhere out west” would be the other ones.
In Auburn’s case, Hill has enjoyed seeing Auburn’s progress this year and expects that to continue in the future.
“Oh yeah, definitely, I can envision myself playing for Auburn,” Hill said. “Family vibe, I get that every time I come here. It’s heading in the right direction. In a couple years, they’ll be contending for national championships.”
Auburn has made it clear to Hill he’s the top offensive line target remaining and one of the most important recruiting targets period in the Class of 2018. Georgia and others have made a similar message clear.
“It’s very important just to know you’re a top priority at a school. I mean, with many schools, that’s a great feeling to have,” Hill said. “You know you can come in here and compete for a starting position.”

Alright here's my attempt at summarizing the recruiting insider KN put out this morning along with all the different nuggets he's dropped today
- 3* ATH Cam Taylor is optimistic an offer is coming soon from AU. He's close with Kevin Steele & apparently had a good conversation with him this weekend. Sounds like if AU offers he will commit. Projected to play CB but could really play any of the DB positions
- 4* S Quindarious Monday reaffirms he's solid with AU despite visit to Clemson. KN said spoke to someone close to Monday & they believe he will sign with AU in December
- Apparently 4* WR Seth Williams was leaning towards AU this summer after BCW & the picnic. Wanted to wait & make sure makes right decision. Spent a ton of time with Kodi Burns, Matthew Hill & Shedrick Jackson before the game. Williams not sure if he will sign early but does not plan on taking any other official visits
- KN saw Tim Horton spend a lot of time talking with Patrick Nix whose son is one of AU's top 2019 targets 4* QB Bo Nix. Horton is his area recruiter. KN said a lot of 2018 commits spent time with Nix at game
- Looks like 3* DE Kayode Oladele is major AU lean. Says he's down to a top 2 of AU & an unnamed team (FSU is thought to be that team). Was going to officially visit next weekend but SEC Championship will push that back a week. Plans to commit Dec 12. Spent a lot of time with another Nigerian native Richard Jibunor before the game
- 3* S Kolbi Fuqua had surgery to fix a 2016 labrum injury. Expected recovery time is 4 months
- KN says do not count AU out with 2019 5* LB Owen Pappoe. UGA is probably team to beat over his other top 2 of Clemson & Nebraska. Plans to commit soon but his recruitment won't be over after that. Travis Williams is recruiting him hard & AU is making up ground
- 4* LB Zakoby McClain says his top 3 are AU, LSU & WV. Plans to commit soon. KN doesn't think AU is in a rush to accept his commitment as they try & work on Channing Tindall & Quay Walker. Said tho to keep an eye on this recruitment moving forward as AU did visit him earlier this fall
- All of a sudden there are some nice options at OT. AU made up a lot of ground on UF commit 4* Richard Gouraige & 3* Jerome Carvin. 4* Dylan Wonnum also left the game impressed. 3* Jalen Goss named AU his leader & plans to officially visit in December. KN says that AU is now in a really good spot at OT
- KN confirmed that no matter what AU will take 4* WR Justyn Ross. Even if they have 4 commitments already (looking likely with Schwartz). He's an automatic take & AU has made up a ton of ground
- AU now leads for 4* WR Anthony Schwartz. Decision to come in December/January. FWIW he doesn't seem all that thrilled with UF's hiring of Mullen (neither does Gouraige)
- 4* DE Caleb Tannor told KN he's focusing hard on his grades & thinks he will qualify. KN says no way to verify that but something to watch. Tannor not happy with how things went down with UGA
- 2019 4* OT Jackson Lampley named AU a top school after his visit. Called Iron Bowl the best sporting event he had ever attended
- New name on the TE board in 3* Sebastian Olver. He signed with Colorado last year but spent one week there before leaving. Now at a prep school. AU is apparently evaluating him & he spent a lot of time with Larry Porter
- No interviews with 4* LB Channing Tindall but AU feels like visit went really well. They think he's an AU type of kid & family loves AU. T-WILL thinks he's got a shot at pulling this off. UGA is thought to be his leader
- AU now in 4* TE Luke Ford's top 3 along with Bama & UGA. Says AU made a big push this weekend
- 4* OG Trey Hill didn't say much after visit except that it went well. Still plans to at least take official visits to UGA & CLEM, maybe one other one. Will sign on Dec 20th. AU feels good about where they sit but don't think it's over yet
- OV went really well with 3* OT Jerome Carvin. MSST was thought to be his leader but coaching changes & AU visit has made it interesting. He plans to enroll early & has taken OVs to AU, TEN, MSST, UCLA & MEM. AU did not push for a commit & told him to take his time. KN thinks if AU pushes they will get him
- 4* RB Asa Martin will take on other official visit to Bama. Says nothing to worry about on AU's side as he's all orange & blue. Plans on rooming with Joey Gatewood & spent a lot of time recruiting Justyn Ross. Thinks AU is making up ground
- Someone asked about Kelvin Joseph & KN said didn't see him
- Nothing much on 4* CB Saivion Smith yet as his OV ends tomorrow. KN has heard it's going well tho but not much info yet

Thanks bro. I hope UT doesn’t come after Steele.

I swear if another teams incompetence costs is a coach gonna be pissed. McGriff last year with OM and now possibly TEN. It would be such a dumb hire I could see them doing it 
Posted on 11/26/17 at 8:20 pm to TigerPaw1
Wolk put in CB picks for AU on Oladele & Schwartz

Asa Martin's senior highlight tape
Wasn't sure if he could run between the tackles based off his junior tape but I no longer am worried about that. I think he's a great fit for our system. Him and Devan Barrett are gonna be a lot of fun to watch in the future

It's apparent that we're recruiting at the highest level we ever have.. not saying we finish with the best class ever this year but for all the talk, Garner deserves a lot of credit for assembling talent and to a lesser degree, Kodi Burns. How is our DL and WR recruiting going? Future looks bright..

Burns deserves a ton of praise. Dude has killed it this year locking down Matthew Hill & Seth Williams. Now he might pull in Anthony Schwartz. Ross is till on the table as well. so ya WR recruiting is going real well
DL is good too. Honestly there aren't a ton of elite DL in this year's class. AU won the biggest battle with Coynis Miller. Looking like we will take probably 5 guys in Newkirk, Miller, Jibunor, Oladele & Fox. There's also Tannor to keep an eye on. Not sure any of those guys are day 1 superstars but are all guys with high ceilings who will have time to develop. Pair them with last year's group & AU should be fine up front for coming future
The biggest thing about AU's strong finish is how it sets us up for 2019. Next year's class is as loaded as I have ever seen in the southeast. Typically a big year on the field helps you most the following recruiting class. If AU can finish this thing off with an SEC title & a solid showing the playoffs & I think we have a shot at a top 5 class next cycle

I just want to keep our current D forever please. These guys have been such a joy to watch.

Any scouting update on Gatewood at QB this year?

I'm gonna be so sad when Marlon Davidson leaves next year. Dude is one of the best DL to ever play at AU

Still waiting on a full senior year tape to go up on Hudl. I did watch his game against Cartersville & was impressed. Dude will be the best athlete on the field but has improved as a passer. I think learning to read coverages & footwork are gonna be 2 big things for him. At least in my incredible amateur opinion
Some of the highlights have come out on his runs are insane tho. Dude is the closest thing we will see to Cam when it comes to 6'4" 230 lb dudes being one of the fastest guys on the field

We need to capitalize on this season recruiting wise. Full bore into the offseason. We have a real chance on making a solid 5 year run.
Posted on 11/26/17 at 8:56 pm to TigerPaw1
So if we have 8 spots left and are about to have to decide on guys how do you think we go?
WR- 1-2 Schwartz and or Ross
TE- 1
OT- 1
OG- 1 Hill
DL- 2 Fox then Oladele then Tannor?
LB- 1 Walker then McClain?
CB- 1
That is 8-9 guys. Let's say we get Schwartz and Ross, where do we cut a position?

We need a spot for the Australian punter, right?
