Haven't seen it posted, but Ryan Peppins committed to Grambling State and the JMU LB Tucker Dorsey committed to Texas

Would’ve liked Dorsey. He was a 1 year guy, though. And I feel good about our LBs next year at least. Didn’t care for Peppins.

Auburn offered 3* DL Tavion Gadson from Savannah. His recruitment is blowing up with recent offers from UGA and UT

3* OL RyQueeze McElderry was blown away by his official to Auburn this weekend.

Some quotes from 247-

quote:

“When I first got here everybody opened the doors for me and my family and welcomed us like a big family," McElderry said of his trip to Auburn. "That’s what it’s all about. It might be a business at the end of the day, but then again these are the people I’m going to be around every single day. They just welcomed me. That stood out to me a lot."

“It’s a 10. Everything was Top 10," McElderry said. "Ever since the first day I got here it’s a different side of Auburn I haven’t seen yet. Coming to camp and coming to a game is just the little stuff, but coming on an official you see more of what Auburn has to offer.”

“ That’s real important," he said. "I talked to Coach Friend about that and also Coach (Kendal) Simmons and Coach Joe (Bernardi). He wrote the numbers down and showed me who was going to be here next year. They’ve got six linemen going away, so that’s a big chance for to come in early and start and play. Even if there was a lot of guys, I’m going to bust my butt to get that starting position. I’m not settling for less. Nobody is going to outwork me. I’m going to do whatever it takes to play.”

“ It has grown a lot more than what it was before," McElderry said of his relationship with Auburn. "I get a real good home feeling and that’s something I’m looking for in a school. Getting a new coach at Georgia, still feeling Georgia but still checking out some other options. Stopping by here first, I was impressed the whole time. It just blew me away.”



Sounds like Auburn did some strong work on this visit. His cousin is Bradyn Joiner. Both are interior guys

Dukes has a new scoops out here's a few tidbits: Auburn has been careful with the amount of OVs in town cause they're trying to build relationships with the recruits so it's more about quality than quantity. Reed and Ruzic are popular with recruits.

4* TE Tank Thurman will OV June 10
with teammate 3* Josh Horton. A source close to Horton believes Auburn is near the top, but doesn't expect a commitment during the visit. Horton thinks it's best for him and Thurman to take their visits together.

Teammate and commit Terrance Love will be on an unofficial that weekend. A source close to Thurman said he's favoring Michigan State, Bama, Ohio State and Auburn at this time.

Dukes spoke with 4* Bo Hughley and said he won't be there with his teammates that weekend and he hasn't ruled out an OV to Auburn in the future, but Auburn is currently not one of his scheduled ones.

4* ATH Khai Prean is a priority recruit for this staff, LSU has made a move on him but Auburn still likes where they sit. He spoke with Prean who Auburn views as a receiver and he's still high on Auburn and if he visits he'll visit with his dad.

Prean hasn't gone public with his OVs but Auburn expects to get one. Auburn did good offering him early in his recruitment and Dukes sees it as an Auburn, LSU, and Mississippi State battle

June 10 is looking like a big OV weekend. I think I read on 247 where 10-12 and 17-19 are supposed to have a lot of visits.

He can play center or guard as well. Like joiner however I think Joiner is more of a center.

Have to believe that Glenn will be a 4* before it’s all said and done

Certainly a good candidate for it. He’s really active at QB camps so he’s getting a lot of attention. That’s kind of what you need to do in order to get that last bump

FWIW, MSU was the leader for a while in his recruitment. Their 247 has been saying for a few weeks now that they don’t think he’s seriously considering them anymore. Also sounds like Glenn could OV at Texas A&M.

I think Auburn is the obvious leader right now

Seen like 4 or 5 247 reporters who’s last day was today

Yep today was the day Auburn 247 died. If you have a sub then you might as well cancel it. Seems like 247 in general isn't doing well though. They have been struggling and behind on a lot of stuff and now with so many people leaving it doesn't look good for them.

I’d imagine 247 isn’t the only one struggling right now.

The only guys that ever seem to stick are fans of the program they’re covering recruiting for. Not sure why else you’d put that effort in for long amounts of time. Maybe it pays better than other gigs.

National guys have been posting on the AU board today. I think it’s a top 5-10 site for 247 so I imagine they’ll be able to hire someone else decent to cover recruiting. Dukes is alright but his info seems limited to Atlanta area guys.

Edit: Jordan Hill, that was an Auburn beat guy for a little bit and now works for UGA’s 247 site, says the site has a “homerun” replacement lined up. So I guess we’ll see who that ends up being. Also said this is typically when the contracts come up
