re: Chances Auburn finishes with another top 5 class

Go ahead and go on those so-called "comments" from Hutcherson, and I'll sit here confident knowing we will have him on the plains for the next several years.

Alabama has three #1 classes in the last four years, why shouldn't I be? I'm not pulling names out of a hat, and suggesting they'll sign with Alabama. And I'm not putting percentages on the likelihood they'll sign with Alabama.

As for Hutcherson, his comments have left the door open. In recruiting, that's all you have to go on.

"It's just a dream come true," Hutcherson said. "Reality just gave me a hard slap in the face and it's time for me to grow as an athlete and a person. My goal is to go play football and to leave there with an education. It's not all about sports. You've got to have an education to be successful in life."

I grew up an Auburn fan,” he said. “I love Auburn. I have been watching Auburn play since I was a little kid. I’ve always been an Auburn fan."

Hutcherson chose Auburn after taking several visits in the past two weeks including Ole Miss, Alabama and Georgia Tech. He said taking some visits really helped to seal the deal for Auburn in his mind.

"I didn't feel the love at the other schools," Hutcherson said. "I just didn't feel like I fit in. I just felt like God had a plan for me and his plan was for me to go play for the national champion Auburn Tigers."
