Updated screenshots in OP. Scout still doesn't recognize that Kolbi Fuqua has committed so can't update class ranking there... Top notch reporting on their part

I am still working on putting together info on the early 2019 board. It's guaranteed to be a rough idea of targets but when I am done will add to OP

KN has article on 3* S Jamien Sherwood who was recently offered and visited for A-Day. He apparently has "beyond high" interest in AU after visit which apparently was first time on campus. He recognizes there will be opportunity to play early with AU having 3 seniors at safety this year and not much proven talent behind. He spent a lot of time with Greg Brown and Kevin Steele. So far has visited Auburn, Florida, Florida State and Miami. Claims distance won't be a concern for him with AU. Hopes to be back in late May or June. Plans to commit in August

Also update on 3* WR Anthony Schwartz. Says right now AU would be somewhere near the top. Mentioned Auburn, Florida, Georgia and LSU as teams recruiting him the hardest right now. This was first time he has met Burns in person tho they have talked a bunch on phone. Says they really hit it off because he is a really chill guy. He met with coaches, toured the campus and apparently him and Caleb Tannor played video games late into the night. Auburn told him they have no problem with him also running track which is important to him. He hung out with John Franklin who is from his same area and Franklin took em downtown. Apparently Franklin told em that AU treats you like family. He really liked how offense looked as well on A-Day

Florida is still team to beat on this guy. Honestly not sure I would take him over some other guys we have on list. He is super fast but really that's all there is to his game. Will be interesting to see what he does his senior year on the field

Recruiting Snapshot (247)
quote:

Here's a snapshot of Auburn recruiting for the 2018 class, where the Tigers stand at the moment and who are some notable targets.

EXPECTED TO TAKE

As of today, we expect the Tigers to have approximately 21-23 in the class for 2018. Right now, Auburn has six commitments and the No. 12 class ranking. However, don't forget about long snapper Bill Taylor, a 2017 signee. He will “blue shirt” and thus not count toward the 2017 total. Instead, he will count for 2018.

It appears Auburn has about 15-16 spots left to fill ... but these numbers are fluid.

Here is our best guess as to the remaining spots to fill at each area:

QB/ATH: 1-2

RB: 2-3

TE: 1

WR: 3-4

OL: 4-5

DL: 4

LB: 2-3

DB: 3-4

K/P/LS: 1

-Kearis Jackson, Fort Valley (Ga.) Peach County: Georgia leads but Auburn is close behind.

-Matthew Hill, Snellville (Ga.) Brooksville: Auburn has emerged as the team to beat for the top-100 recruit.

-Justyn Ross, Phenix City (Ala.) Central: Auburn-Alabama battle for the 5-star recruit.
