I have no doubt he'll be a good player, but they're a little overzealous.

Anyways..coworker told me the other day that Cam Newton had an off weekend a month or 2 back and decided to just take his bentley and make a visit by Haselwood's house for a little chat. I have no idea what happened during the visit, and am not claiming anything nefarious because I obviously have no facts or evidence, but I am 100% sure of my source on that, that Cam took an impromptu unpublicized visit to the haswelwood household.
Knowing how AU operates, I can assure you they are going to do absolutely everthing possible in their power ot get jadon to the plains.

Auburn has ‘definitely got a shot’ for Maryland safety Nick Cross after official visit (SECCountry)
quote:
AUBURN, Ala. — Auburn is known for its recruiting territory of Alabama, Georgia and Florida. The Tigers typically only step outside of that coverage area for prospects they see as elite-level talents.
For Big Cat Weekend, Auburn only hosted one official visitor: Nick Cross from Maryland.
Cross knew when he heard from Auburn coaches about an official visit that he needed to take a trip to the Plains. It’s not often coaches from the Southeastern Conference make their way to Maryland in search of top defensive backs.
“Just because [safeties] Coach [Greg] Brown and the staff expressed interest in me. As a kid up north, you don’t see them come up north too often. They offered me an official, so I wanted to take it and test out the environment,” Cross said. “It definitely raised their chances. It exceeded my expectation of what it would be. Auburn’s definitely got a shot.”
Cross’ official visit intersected with Big Cat Weekend. He had his own schedule somewhat separate from the event, but he took part in some of those festivities, as well.
Cross felt that helped Auburn’s chances because it allowed him to see coaches and players in a different light than he’s seen at other universities.
“It’s just the family environment,” Cross said. “I never talked to assistants as much as I do here. The GAs and assistants are all great people to hang out with. The players carry themselves very well. It was nice to see the players and how they carry themselves.”
This marked the second official visit for the DeMatha Cathloic (Md.) safety. He had already been to Florida. Cross will return to the state of Alabama next weekend to check out the Crimson Tide. The week after that he’ll be back down south again for an official visit to Florida State.
Those are the four schools to keep an eye on right now.
He would like to make a decision before his senior season.
If Auburn has a chance, which Cross is adamant it does, it’ll be because of the relationship and national acclaim.
“Big stage. The SEC West is the best conference in college football. They send a lot of players to the league. It’s a great environment. It should be good football. I just want something different than what I’m used to seeing up north,” Cross said. “Auburn’s definitely there with some of the top schools.”

Nation’s No. 1 WR Jadon Haselwood confirms Auburn giving him something to think about (SECCountry)
quote:
Nation’s No. 1 receiver admits Auburn making push
When Jadon Haselwood arrived at Auburn this weekend — for his third visit this spring — he brought along several family members. Haselwood’s mother, his siblings, a couple of cousins and his mentor accompanied him for the Big Cat Weekend visit. It was a big group, especially for someone committed to a rival school.
Haselwood, who has made a few trips on his own, wanted the people closest to him to experience the family vibe often associated with Auburn.
“Because they’re family. That’s what the whole trip was about,” Haselwood said. “That’s what Big Cat is all about. It was fun, man. I’m glad to be here. Everybody got treated like family today.”
Haselwood has been committed to Georgia since March 16, 2017. As the nation’s No. 1 receiver, he’s a staple of the Bulldogs’ class. The multiple return trips to Auburn raise interest, however.
Haselwood visited for a junior day earlier this spring. He joined Owen Pappoe and Wanya Morris on a multi-day trip a couple of months after that. Then Haselwood returned for Big Cat Weekend.
He hasn’t had many conversations with Georgia coaches about these Auburn visits, but he admits they’re likely conscious about them.
“I don’t think they’re really going check me, or say something to me about it, but I know deep down they feel something. But they’re probably concerned, yeah,” Haselwood said.
In terms of interviews I’ve done with Haselwood, his post-Big Cat comments were the most interesting by far.
Asked a question about the status of his recruitment, Haselwood elected to ask for the next question. After saying Pappoe regularly asks him how solid he is to Georgia, Haselwood said “no comment” about his response to those questions.
He gave a simple answer when asked if Auburn is making him think hard about his college choice.
“Yes, they are,” Haselwood said.
Haselwood’s visits to Auburn won’t stop, either. He hasn’t scheduled a date yet, but Haselwood knows already that he’ll take an official visit to the Plains this fall.
A big reason for his continued interest: his friends.
Haselwood has a strong bond with a few Auburn commits — Pappoe, George Pickens and Bo Nix. While Pappoe has taken on a leadership recruiting role, it’s actually Haselwood’s 7-on-7 teammates who he said recruit him the hardest.
“Owen asks me how solid I am to Georgia. I say George and Bo would be on me the hardest. I could. Me, George and Bo already play together in 7-on-7. It really don’t affect anything, but it’s fun. It’s fun playing with them two guys,” Haselwood said. “They really want me to go wherever. I’m not going to pressure anybody to go to Georgia, you know. I tell everybody to be selfish because [picking a college] should be a selfish decision.”

Another Georgia commit makes multi-day visit
Haselwood wasn’t the only Georgia commit at Big Cat Weekend.
Bulldogs linebacker commit Trezmen Marshall arrived at Auburn on Friday afternoon. He stayed through Big Cat Weekend and into Sunday. It was his second trip in three weeks, which is close friend Owen Pappoe made sure to point out when talking about the weekend.
“It’s his second time here in a month, so that says a lot,” Pappoe said.
It has been reported that there’s a gentleman’s agreement brewing between Pappoe and Marshall. Marshall, who didn’t show much interest in Auburn until Pappoe’s commitment, would start to visit Auburn if Pappoe agreed to take an official visit to Georgia. Pappoe isn’t 100 percent certain whether or not he’ll take that official visit, saying Saturday he doesn’t think he will at this point.
With that said, that hasn’t deterred Marshall’s interest in Auburn, per Pappoe.
“He still tells me he wants to play college football with me, so I’ll let you have that,” Marshall said.
Pappoe is a boss. Makes bet to get buddy on campus & interested in AU. Works & now AU looks like a real threat to flip & now says he probably won't hold up his end of the bargain

Owen Pappoe names recruits trending toward Auburn
Owen Pappoe has quickly become the face of the 2019 recruiting class.
He came to Big Cat Weekend intent on helping add more to the Auburn class. So when he left, he wanted to make sure he alerted the public as to which fellow prospects he thinks are trending toward the Tigers.
“I feel pretty good about Andrew Booth, Colby Wooden and Keiondre Jones. I’d say those three,” Pappoe said, unprompted. “It’s just how they’re talking to me. They’re always telling me they like it a lot. Whenever I’m asking, what’s the move? They’re always giving me looks, so I feel really good about them.”
Pappoe’s sales pitch to those guys?
“Come be a part of something different,” Pappoe said. “We’re doing something special here. I think we’re going to have a top-5 class, so I keep throwing that out to them. I’m telling them to come be a part of it.”
His Big Cat Weekend experience wasn’t all about recruiting others, though that was a big focus.
Instead, Pappoe wanted to bring as many family members as possible — about 10 joined him — so he could prove to them why Auburn was the smart choice for him. He was able to do that and more during the fun, family-oriented recruiting weekend.
“My mission today, I brought a lot of my family, so I just wanted to see them have a good time. I wanted them to see why I love Auburn so much,” Pappoe said.

5-star receiver Jadon Haselwood: Georgia 'probably concerned' about Auburn visit (AL.com)
quote:
Jadon Haselwood is sure Georgia isn't too happy to see him visiting Auburn so much.
A five-star receiver ranked No. 5 overall in the 2019 class, Haselwood is committed to the Bulldogs but was on the Plains for Big Cat Weekend, his second visit of the year and third since November.
"I don't think they're going to really check me or say something to me about it, but I know they feel some type of way," Haselwood said of Georgia. "They're probably concerned."
Haselwood did not want to give an update as to where things stand with his recruitment of how solid his commitment is to UGA at this point, but said Auburn is giving him something to think about.
He brought nearly a dozen family members with him to Big Cat Weekend, which is geared more toward fun activities and for recruits to get to know Auburn's coaches and their families than it is about football per se.
Haselwood likes the atmosphere and the coaches and heard from Auburn's current players.
"I feel like everybody's keeping it real," Haselwood said.
Auburn commits Owen Pappoe, Bo Nix and George Pickens are all talking with Haselwood about joining them and he plays on a 7-on-7 team with Nix and Pickens, a fellow receiver.
"They want me to go wherever, I'm not going to pressure anybody to go to Georgia. I tell everybody to be selfish because it's a selfish decision," Haselwood said. "Owen asked me how solid I am to Georgia; I'd say George and Bo would be on me the hardest. ... (Playing 7-on-7 with George and Bo) really don't affect anything, but it's fun playing with those two guys."

McGill-Toolen DL LeDarrius Cox remains committed to Tennessee, but recruitment 'still open' (AL.com)
quote:
LeDarrius Cox remains committed to Tennessee, but he's not going to turn away an schools that express interest.
The defensive tackle out of McGill-Toolen was among the more than 30 players to visit Auburn for Big Cat Weekend.
"I'm committed to Tennessee, but my recruitment is still open," Cox said. "I'm still exploring other options and enjoying recruiting right now. I'm blessed to receive every offer I got and open to everything there is to see."
Auburn defensive coordinator Kevin Steele recently offered Cox, a 6-foot-5, 307-pound prospect.
Cox committed to Tennessee in early April and Steele visited him in Mobile later that month and they've been talking since.
During Big Cat Weekend, Cox got a chance to meet with defensive line coach Rodney Garner and former Auburn defensive tackle Montravius Adams.
Cox plans to return to the Plains again later this month.
"(It) feels like home," he said. "It's closer to home and I enjoy the coaching staff."

Auburn in top 2 for 4-star DE, Mississippi State commit Charles Moore (AL.com)
quote:
It's a two-horse race for Charles Moore.
The four-star defensive end out of Louisville, Mississippi is committed to Mississippi State but Auburn is neck-and-neck for the 2019 prospect.
"I'm still committed (to MSU) right now," Moore said after visiting Auburn for Big Cat Weekend. "Even with me being committed, Auburn is right there tit-for-tat with Mississippi State right now."
Moore, the No. 91 overall prospect in the 247Sports Composite, is also considering LSU, Tennessee and Georgia but his top two are ahead.
He said choosing to leave Mississippi would not be an issue if he chose to do so and his father is from Chicago and mother is from East St. Louis.
"I like to travel," Moore said. "Getting me out of Mississippi, that won't be a big issue. It's just what do you have at your school that will attract me out of Mississippi?"
Moore, who is coming off a torn ACL, told Auburn's coaches he'd visit for Big Cat Weekend months ago and fellow four-star defensive end and close friend Jaren Handy also made the trip. They've discussed playing together in college.
"If I come here, it's a 10 out of 10 chance that you'll see Jaren beside me," Moore said. "Here over the last couple of months me and Jaren we've grown real close. He's almost like a brother to me. ... Me and Jaren coming here this weekend, we enjoyed ourselves, visualizing ourselves in the uniform out on the field before the game, being on campus, coming up just being in Auburn."

Colby Wooden quickly found out Big Cat Weekend is not so much about football, but instead about getting to know Auburn's coaching staff and their families and having some fun away from the game.
"We talked a little football," Wooden said. "The first five minutes."
Auburn is recruiting the three-star defensive end out of Archer (Ga.) as a Buck end.
The Tigers are also recruiting his high school teammate, five-star cornerback Andrew Booth. Both are also considering Clemson and have discussed going to the same college, though "it may or may not" end up happening, said Wooden, who plans to return to Auburn in the summer and fall.
"Auburn is still very high up on my list. Obviously I enjoy it here," Wooden said. "I'm still probably making my decision mid-August."

Five-star Auburn commit Owen Pappoe feels good about Auburn's chances to land Wooden, Booth and four-star offensive guard Keiondre Jones from Callaway (Ga.)
"I feel really good about them," Pappoe said. "(I say) come be a part of something different, we're building here. I think we're going to have a top 5 class, I keep throwing that out to them."
Pappoe said four-star Georgia commit Trezman Marshall also says he wants to play with him in college. Marshall also visited during Big Cat Weekend, his second visit to the Plains in the last month.
As for Pappe, he's "100 percent" sticking with Auburn.

There is "not really an official leader" for Kenny McIntosh, though Miami is considered the favorite for the University School (Fla.) running back.
The four-star prospect is interested in Auburn, Miami, Oklahoma and Alabama.
McIntosh intends to take an official visit to Auburn for a game and considering being an early enrollee in college.
Auburn's string of 1,000-yard rushers was a major selling point for him.
"Not only are they winning Heismans, and that's one of my goals, I just love the running back coach," McIntosh said. "He's going to turn me into a really good running back."

Auburn is "starting to pick up" recruiting Kenny Logan.
The athlete out of Menendez (Fla.) visited along with teammate Tye Edwards.
Logan is also considering Ole Miss, UCF, Alabama and Louisville and intends to return to Auburn for an official visit.
Edwards, a three-star prospect, is intent on playing running back in college even as some recruiting services also list him as a linebacker.
He's visited or intends to visit Georgia, Ole Miss, UCF, USF, Alabama, Oregon and Texas A&M.
