Who is next? Jibunor still supposed to announce sometime soon?
Jibunor is probably the next commit. He wants to visit UF before announcing though so probably late August or sometime in September. Though that UF visit does make me nervous

Going to watch Fields tonight, hopefully get a chance to talk with him and see where he's at.
Also no matter what he says or if you get to talk to him, I expect you to troll the SECRB by saying Fields told you he's down to AU & FSU

BREAKING: Auburn lands commitment from major wide receiver target (SECCountry)
quote:
Matthew Hill finally did it.
The 4-star wide receiver from Brookwood High (Ga.) has been the most likely to join Auburn’s class for months, but his hesitance to publicly commit has raised some questions. Those questions have all been answered.
On Thursday, Hill committed to Auburn to become the 12th commitment in the 2018 recruiting class. Despite the wait, Hill said the decision wasn’t tough.
“First, I grew up an Auburn fan, so I already knew what it was like. Ever since, I’ve just been there so many times, it just — in my mind — it’s just another home,” Hill told SEC Country two weeks ago. “I know Auburn like the back of my hand now, like I do Snellville. I know where everything is. I just feel comfortable in Auburn.”
The extended wait gave Hill a chance to do his due diligence. He visited South Carolina one more time with his high school coach who is a South Carolina grad. Hill stayed in communication with Crimson Tide and Gamecocks coaches. When official offer day came, Auburn, Alabama and South Carolina were the only schools to offer, which made sense considering those were the three programs he was still strongly considering.
As the 6-foot-2 wide receiver waited, some Tigers fans started to panic. But, as Hill puts it, he’s known for “a month and a half to two months” where he was going to school. He just wanted to be sure.
“I basically knew at Big Cat Weekend, the last time I visited Auburn,” Hill said. “I kinda knew before then, but Big Cat is really what set it off because I got to be around the new players, the ones that might commit, the coaching staff and just had a good time. I got to see their fun side at Auburn.”
With Hill’s commitment, Auburn added the No. 32 wide receiver and No. 160 overall prospect in the 2018 class, according to the 247Sports composite. Hill joined Shedrick Jackson as the second wide receiver in Auburn’s class. Hill’s commitment lifts Auburn up to No. 27 in the recruiting team rankings, one spot behind No. 26 Alabama.
