FRISCO, TEXAS -- Auburn's receiver class for 2020 already was really good entering July. On the first day of the month, it just got a whole lot better.
Four-star recruit Ze'Vian Capers of Apharetta (Ga.) Denmark on Monday committed to the Tigers over South Carolina and Tennessee. The 6-feet-3.5, 195-pound Capers is the No. 25 receiver and No. 112 overall recruit nationally in the industry generated 247Sports Composite. A former Arkansas commitment, he has a stellar 94.76 rating.
Capers is commitment No. 12 for Auburn and the sixth since June 1. The Tigers now have the No. 19 class in the country, up from No. 24 before Capers' commitment, and that could improve again Tuesday. That's when 4-star linebacker Wesley Steiner of Georgia will announce his commitment. He's down to Auburn and Stanford.
quote:
For Capers, the decision to pick Auburn apparently wasn't that difficult.
"It was just having the chance to play early and the relationships with Coach (Gus) Malzahn and (receivers coach Kodi Burns," Capers said.
quote:
Capers committed to Arkansas on Feb. 8 but then things got interesting.
Tennessee offered him March 25. Auburn followed May 15. Meanwhile, South Carolina also became a major factor. At one time, some even thought the Gamecocks had become the team most likely to flip Capers from the Razorbacks.
quote:
He visited them June 1 for Big Cat Weekend and that went extremely well. On June 6, Capers returned to Auburn to camp for the Tigers staff. While there, he got a ton of personal attention from Auburn coach Gus Malzahn and receivers coach Kodi Burns. After that camp, Capers told Auburn Undercover his commitment to Arkansas was up in the air. The following day, he de-committed.
Camping with the Tigers was a memorable moment, according to Capers.
"It was a great experience going against some great competition," Capers said. "Coach said he liked how I competed and how I performed when I was out there."

No idea how Gus continues to land elite talent at WR but more power to him

Kodi is supposedly a very good recruiter there. I too am always somewhat surprised with the WR talent they've pulled in recent years given their utilization/development.

He’s had three Day 3 picks at WR in 5 years that have combined for just over 1,000 career yards. Terrible offense for a WR to develop in

From talking with some people who know him he strikes me as the kind of kid who will enter the portal after a year if he doesn't play enough.

WRs and DBs. It is hard to understand. Then we will just forget about OLmen.

He’s a good get and I know we wanted him but he was always Auburn bound.
He’s now trying to recruit Tank to Auburn.

Denmark unless he’s transferred.

If you ever get this straightened out......wow. Always puzzling how teams (any team) can stockpile talent in some areas and then totally struggle in other areas.

It's not the numbers. Any team can go out and get servicable Olinemen. It's getting top of the line Linemen that is difficult.
At OT, arguably the position of greatest need for Auburn, you have an OT that is rated .8400 and is a 3*. That borders on a 2*. That is not meant as cut...just a fact.
Oline is very difficult to predict, and most of your other Olinemen are rated as solid, so it might work out for you. Only time will tell, but don't act like Auburn is not struggling recruiting the Oline.
Georgia struggled there in the past, too.
ETA
yes, I realize you also have Javion Cohen, too, who is a 4*, but even he is rated below the .9000 level. Like I said...they might work out for you...they might not.

In other words, what's your offer?
