• This might slightly step outside of Auburn territory at this point, but it’s worth the update. News broke in July that 2018 signee Kayode Oladele won’t enroll at Auburn. He told Rivals on Tuesday that he has finished up one final outstanding credit and is waiting on NCAA qualifying clearance. Oladele expects to be cleared, but there’s still a waiting process. He said he has been in contact with coaches from Baylor, Ole Miss and Arkansas, but he won’t move forward with anything until NCAA approves him as a qualifier, if that in fact happens.

We'll see if he actually qualifies

• Don’t sleep on Auburn in the Noah Cain sweepstakes. Yes, LSU should probably be viewed as the favorite because of the recent John Emery Jr. commitment to Georgia. But there’s a reason Cain plans to wait until December to make a decision. He wants to see how the programs inside his top 6 — Auburn, Oklahoma, LSU, Penn State, Texas and Ohio State — take shape during the 2018 season. If Auburn isn’t successful with Cain, look to south Florida target Mark-Antony Richards and Atlanta-area back Tahj Gary. Both of those guys visited Auburn just prior to the July dead period.

One of few recruits where results during season will have a major impact

• Continuing with running backs, everyone wants to know who the “starting running back” will be. That’s a tough question to answer because it’s likely not to be as defined as it has been in the past. By-committee approach has been brought up more this offseason by Gus Malzahn and Tim Horton. Whether or not that actually happens will have to be proven to be believed. The same three names keep coming up in conversations with sources, however: Kam Martin, JaTarvious "Boobee" Whitlow and Asa Martin. This is a position battle that will likely take shape as the season progresses even if a depth-chart announcement is made during fall camp.

I had fully intended on cancelling by Rivals sub after free trial ended but might keep it now with Wolk on staff... Big hire for Rivals

I wonder why Justin Hokanson left writing altogether.

No idea. I imagine it's not an altogether fun lifestyle & pay is probably better in a different industry

Not a surprise but Ge'Mon Eaford eliminated AU. Will announce today probably for Oregon

He's ranked high but I don't think he's a true LB at next level. Probably better suited for Buck & Derick Hall is a better prospect

Pays not good... work on the weekends... and have to deal with irrational internet college football fans.

Who wouldn’t want that career?

JLee believes that Otey held off committing either because AU won't take him or AU told him to be patient before committing elsewhere. The major concern with him is speed. AU is prioritizing speed at DB & they aren't sure he's got it. Sounds like he's a backup option tho down the road

Amazing that a 4* DB wants to commit to us but we don't have room. We still haven't landed a 5* DB but things are definitely changing in DB recruiting

KN keeps bringing up Steele Chambers as a guy that AU is targeting. Loved his tape & apparently AU is trying to sell him on idea of playing football & baseball. Currently committed to OHST so interested to see if he shows up on campus

He works for Hooks’ company. Guessing Hooks hooked him up with a sweet gig.

OHST may be in trouble with this news on Urban hiding his knowledge of domestic abuse that just hit the interwebz

Ya it feels shitty to say considering the abuse but Meyer being ousted would probably greatly help AU's pursuit of Chambers

Urbs is such a piece of shite. I love reminding my OSU neighbor of that.
