if you back out Siposs

He has a spot no matter what. Will probably be our starting punter next season. Fuqua is only one who might be asked to wait

So let's say Fuqua signs then that's 3 spots. More than likely it will be

1. Caleb Johnson
2. Cam Taylor
3. Hopefully Calvin Anderson

Anyone else would be a surprise at this point

so with 15 committed, we have verbals from

16. Schwartz
17. Joiner
18. McReary
19. M. Hill
20. Coynis Miller
21. Jibnour
22. Fuqua
23. Siposs

That leaves 2 spots. if you back out Siposs and Fuqua, that leaves 4 spots.

so final 4???

1. Caleb Johnson
2. ??
3. ??
4. ??
We can sign 26.

Also we aren't backing out on Siposs. He has always been a straight up take on scholly immediately. It would be very ill advised to have a guy you expect to be the starting Punter in 2018 come over from down under & take him as a walk on. With his potential & the pedigree of his kicking academy you'd just be asking another school to swipe him if you made him a walk on, especially from that far away.

With Sipposs in it could be 4 if we don't sign Fuqua.

Best guess now would be Cam Taylor & save a spot or 2 for transfers.

so lets just assume we get only Caleb Johnson and Cam Taylor tomorrow and save a spot for a transfer.

That's the safe bet right now


But the posibarner in me wants to believe we pull off a surprise between JaMarr Chase, Richard Gouraige and Malik Langham. I don't see it happening but if it were I think most likely to come from those 3 names

Happy NSD Eve everyone? It appears as if Auburn will be getting coal in our NSD stockings this year.

We really need to lower our expectations. We aren't Alabama or even UGA for that matter.

I don't understand where it went wrong on the OL. It was an obvious position of need. We're having to rely on two Nigerian projects and possibly giving a scholarship to some processed 4th string OL.That and the TE/Fb situation. I was told all last year that Chip prefers a hybrid TE/FB, but now he apparently wants a RB who can catch and doesn't want a TE or FB at all.

JLee has new %s up

Caleb Johnson 80% AU
Cam Taylor 50% AU
Langham 45% AU. Thinks Bama leads & will be tough to beat.

Let's just all ignore the OL recruiting, get a few plan Cs, then give Gus another raise.

More of me griping, but I thought we wanted 3 lineman this class, especially a true tackle.

We wanted 4-5 actually w/ 2 true OTs. I was just curious who the 3th string huy was you are talking about, Grad Transfer Anderson or a current walk on?

It would be a grad transfer. Other than anderson I don't think we have anyone from the JUCO pipeline. Could be wrong.

More grad transfer options will pop up as the semester progresses, much like w/ Dunn & Bell last year.

Disagree. Chip went all in on Luke Ford, but that didn't go our way. Just because we haven't signed any TEs doesn't mean he doesn't want any.

Man what a joke. I mean all these OVs the last couple of weeks on guys we thought we had a good shot with and I mean we aren't in the running anymore. Guys leave AU OVs and immediately start getting CBs to other schools. No more basketball with Gus.

Pretty clear recruits are worried about AU becoming a basketball school
