I literally said I would post later when I had more time. I mean damn man

I didn't see you say that man nor did I know you were referring to that article in your post. My bad.

Also since you seem so jazzed up about article why don't you paste it since you know it's free

Because that's your thing. All I wanted to do is make sure you were aware of the article. I know you will post stuff when you had time. I wasn't expecting it to be done then. Sorry for the miscommunication.

Auburn making push for Georgia tight end (Rivals)

quote:

---

AUBURN | Tyler Fromm isn’t in a rush to make his college decision, but Auburn wouldn’t mind if he were.

The Tigers made their wish known last Saturday while Fromm visited for A-Day.

“They’d like to get me on board as quickly as they can,” Fromm said. “I could help build the recruiting class.”

Fromm, a tight end recruit from Warner Robins, Ga., is considering it. He’s visited Auburn three times this offseason.

“Auburn is definitely one of my top schools,” Fromm said. “I had a good time (Saturday) talking with the coaches and watching the game. Spring games are to see how the offense is doing and they threw the ball around. That’s what I look for. I saw a lot of great things on the field.”

Fromm also saw a need for someone with his abilities.

“They need a few more guys to throw to,” Fromm said. “They need a tight end to flex out and they don’t have that right now.”

Fromm could fill the need for Auburn, but he’s not ready to make that decision. He plans to take more visits, including a trip to Gainesville, Fla. on Saturday for the Gators’ spring game.

“I’m going to wait it out a little while longer and see how I feel,” Fromm said. “I’m hoping (to make a commitment) sometime during the summer.”

---

It's about time Pickens got a jump in the rankings. Fromm has me really interested based on those comments and his jump in the rankings. Have to wonder if we try to get in on Jaydon Hill too after a performance like that and I have no idea why we haven't even offered Mohamoud Diabate. The coaches must feel really good about some other people or know he just doesn't want to come here or something.. nothing else makes sense to me.

243.) 4* LB Kalen Deloach (367) -40

I thought he had a great camp?

Me too. Was surprised by the drop. I'm still a big fan tho. SCAR appears current leader tho

quote:

---

Bud Elliot just CBd Jalen Curry to Ole Miss. That's an interesting pick...

---

That is one of the guys you should pay attention to when he makes picks. Dude works the camp circuit as hard as anyone in the recruiting business and knows what's going on with these kids as well as any national guy. Good dude, too.

Any cause for concern as Auburn receiver commit George Pickens visits elsewhere? (SECCountry)

quote:

---

It’s natural for fans to worry about one of their commits, especially one who has has the recruiting trajectory of George Pickens.

The standout wide receiver commit from Hoover, Ala., pledged to Auburn last summer before many other big wigs caught on. Since then, he’s picked up offers from Georgia, LSU, Florida, Florida State, Michigan and several others. Pickens has made it clear he is likely to visit most, if not all, of these schools — many of which he’s already been to this spring.

It has to be nerve-racking as an Auburn fan.

But these offers and visits were something everyone around the Tigers program saw coming.

Pickens’ recruitment has ballooned through the camp circuit this spring. His stock is rising along with his ranking. That’s going to catch the attention of every program in the country when it comes to a 6-foot-5 receiver prospect.

But when I spoke with Pickens last month, he expressed his desire to visit other schools. In fact, when he committed last summer, he made it known it wasn’t a shut-down-the-recruitment decision.

Through all of it, however, Pickens has stayed consistent on his stance as a firm Auburn commitment. He just wants to have his fun and life experience. He deserves that.

On top of all that, few other schools will be able to offer Pickens what the Tigers can. He has a close relationship with wide receivers coach Kodi Burns and loves that Burns knows what it means to be a student-athlete at Auburn. Gus Malzahn and Chip Lindsey both coached his brother, Chris Humes, at Arkansas State and the high school level. The relationships on the Plains will be tough to beat.

And then there’s the friendship with quarterback commit Bo Nix. It’s real. It’s genuine.

It’ll be nearly impossible for a top wide receiver to turn down.
