re: 2019 Football Recruiting Thread - Auburn Goes 4/7 & Land Brothers

TigerPaw,

I like the positive thoughts on the line. Putnam would be a huge catch, and didnt we hear he could get a look at tackle?

Olaseni is originally from England, betcha he played quite a bit of futbol as a kid and has some nice footwork and agility, he certainly is a mountain of a man.

Im glad Clark is decommiting, we have quite a few bodies on the roster on offensive line that will never have meaningful snaps as it is.

I would of taken him with the Wayna and OP package deal.

Don't blame staff for trying

Visitors KN has confirmed so far for AU/WASH game

-5-star LB commit Owen Pappoe
-4-star QB commit Bo Nix
-4-star WR commit George Pickens
-4-star DB commit Zion Puckett
-4-star TE commit Luke Deal
-4-star TE commit Tyler Fromm
-4-star S Jammie Robinson (MAYBE)
-3-star DE commit Colby Wooden
-3-star DE commit Jamond Gordon
-4-star 2020 RB Roydell Williams
-4-star 2021 QB Brock Vandagriff
-4-star 2021 DB Ga'Quincy McKinstry

I wish I was as confident as everyone else in O-line recruiting. Behind our starters we have very little quality depth imo. I have to think Jakai Clark is going to Tenn which means I doubt Wanya will flip, I don't think we will get Putnam unless FSU has a bad season, and What E just said about Bell isn't encouraging (That he stayed 30 mins)... So if we miss on those names will it be time to panic? We are doing great everywhere else, but it won't matter if we don't have a quality O-line.

We don’t want guys with commitment issues

KN put up an insider this afternoon

- He added 2 more names to visitor list: 3* RB Tahj Gary & 2020 4* RB Tank Bigsby

- KN says Pappoe will not be the only 5* in attendance. Says will have more complete list tomorrow

- Not ready to put in a CB just yet but after speaking with a number of sources (including some AU commits) thinks AU is in a really good spot with 4* OG William Putnam. FSU still the #1 threat. Before his visit for BCW, Noles had a large lead but that changed after visit. Horton/Grimes have been lead guys on this recruitment. Will OV for LSU game

- KN says no matter what happens with possible decommit (talking about Jakai Clark) it will not affect Pappoe's commitment status. He's one of the strongest commits currently

- 4* ATH Mark-Antony Richards likes hearing that Shaun Shivers could have an early impact since he's also from South FL. Apparently Richards has some family in Macon, GA as well. This is an AU/MIA battle

- AU still waiting on 4* Buck Derick Hall & 3* DT LeDarrius Cox to pull the trigger. Staff still feels good with both. However, MSST confidence has grown some the longer Hall waits. He still maintains AU is his leader. His mom says he's waiting because he wants to be 100% sure before committing & can shut down his recruitment. As for Cox, KN thinks it's more when not if he flips to AU.

Contrary to my earlier negativity I'm glad we are staying in touch with Tajh Gary. I saw him some last year and really liked him. I figured he would be a much bigger recruit this year.

this kid looks legit. Put a number 27 jersey on him and he would look identical to Nick Chubb

You're supposed to wait until he actually de-commits to play the "we didn't want him anyway" card.
