Well, that puts some pressure on our RB recruiting.

Explains why we're trying to sign 3-4 RBs. This was basically expected. He was a pampered baby who could hardly make it under the Chizik regime. There was no way he'd make it under a disciplined staff

No real loss here. The timing of this is pretty interesting considering our RB recruiting has really heated up over the last couple days.

Speak for yourself. The kid is talented.

I'm confused. Blakely originally transferred to play in Gus' offense. What happened?

We better sign Elder, Folston and Ford or we're screwed.

Ford's a given. Folston is likely

Sucks, but based on his tweets I think dude was blazing up on the reg.

We all knew this was coming sooner or later. The guy is just a train wreck.

Good. To be honest I hope we hear more players leaving the team. Get the kids who can't cut it the hell away from Auburn.

I cannot say I am surprised. It is weird that he transferred to Auburn from Florida for the reason of Muschamp moving towards a more pro-style offense, while Auburn also ended up running a pro-style offense in 2012. The move might have also been made so that Mike Blakely could be closer to his child. I just cannot see this guy living up to his recruiting ranking.

On to running back recruiting, this class could be important. Auburn only has Tre Mason, Corey Grant, and Cam Artis-Payne on campus right now. If you look beyond them, Auburn has Jay Prosch and a bunch of walk-ons.

IDK those are all three smaller backs. I think we need another between the tackles type. I'd love to steal Greg Bryant.

Peyton Barber is more likely. And I'd love to sign him, Ben Tate clone
