re: 2023 Recruiting

I think the Reed tweet above was about the transfer DT commit last night.

On Roderick Robinson — the announcement date follows his UCLA official visit. UGA and UF offered him today. I don’t think his recruitment is over but that date doesn’t bode well for Auburn, IMO

KN posted we've offered 4* TAMU commit DL Anthony James and 4* 2024 RB Chauncey Bowens. 3* OT Connor Stroh visited today, haven't seen anything about how it went, maybe there'll be more info tomorrow.

Ok didn't know he was here all weekend. Thought it was a one day thing

Someone get Deion Smith a nice NIL deal stat. Not real interested in Peppins at WR, would just be another body.

Dukes posted a new scoops here's a run down:

4* CB Avieon Terrell will make a decision this summer and it's down to us, Clemson, and Michigan State. He likes where we currently sit

Multiple P5 coaches feel if Auburn can pull together an 8-9 win season they'll be a force in recruiting for years to come. This is based on how much buzz there's been around Auburn from the metro Atlanta area over the past couple months.

One coach said " Auburn itself ain't a hard sell they can "get right" in a hurry if they win some games. They're doing better recruiting around Atlanta than before for sure"

UGA is getting close to having 4* OT Bo Hughley shut down his recruitment completely. Auburn is the only school keeping the door open. He said he'd have more next week.

Auburn has reached out to some of the trainers of former players that entered the portal due to "lack of communication" and "culture fit" and the response from trainers was positive. Dukes said Trainers and 7 on 7 coaches are influential in recruiting and he's heard Auburn has done a good job salvaging those relationships.

Expect Auburn to get involved with 4* interior lineman Caleb Holmes of creekside in the future.

3* DL Joshua Horton wants to make his college decision with his family and his family's ability to visit Auburn more frequently than other schools recruiting him due to proximity bodes well for the Tigers.

multiple coaches were there evaluating him and says that Horton is one of the biggest sleepers on the DL this year.


4* S and Auburn Commit Terrance Love is solid to Auburn, but Tennessee and Arkansas are interested and are pushing him to OV. He says he'll have more next week

Transfer Portal target JMU LB Diamonte Tucker-Dorsey is a topic of conversation among several coaches at the game and think with him only having one year left of eligibility he wants to go somewhere he's "the guy" or a starter. According to one of the coaches He(Tucker-Dorsey) knows the LB room better than the coach does the coach said he's got "guys" so he can't promise him a spot, but said if he's as good as what he's seen you find a way to get him on the field.

Look for Auburn to target the Midwestern area of the country in the coming weeks. He says he hears one of the prospects has feet as sweet as "suga". He'll have more on said prospect coming next week.

I really like DT Joshua Horton. The kid is an absolute unit. I think. I also think we’re gonna beat out Clemson for Terrell.

I’d probably like him at OT too

So you’re saying next year or the year after we got ‘em lined up huh? Sounds promising

Judging from where they landed, or didnt land at all, Id say it was more a lack of talent than culture fit. That is the one good thing about the portal, no more pampering, if you arent performing we can kick you to the curb, some kids will learn to grow up.

I’m going to start this off by saying I love KN and everything he brings to the table. He’s been fantastic for 247 and AU’s recruiting coverage for close to a decade. I know he recently lost his mom as well and that’s a heartbreaking thing to go through.

At the same time, it’s pretty clear that he’s checked out and has been for a while. Honestly surprised that Ron Sanders is keeping him on. It was apparent that there was something going on when all the rumors were floating of KN moving to UF’s On3 site. I’d be shocked if he’s with 247 by EOY.
