Auburn & National Signing Day

Indoor_practice_facility_medium

War Eagle everyone, once again we are proud to spend the day with you, bringing you all the latest in recruiting news.

The coffee is on, the doughnuts are fresh, and we are ready to welcome our new family members to Auburn.

Let's start by taking a look at those already enrolled, and attending classes.

Shane Callahan Offensive Lineman.

  • Ht:6'6"
  • Wt:277 lbs
  • 40:5.2 secs
  • GPA:3
  • Class:2012 (HS - December Grad)

Patrick Miller 4* Offensive Lineman.

  • Ht:6'7"
  • Wt:260 lbs
  • Transferred from Illinois

Javiere Mitchell 4* Linebacker

  • Ht:6'2"
  • Wt:197 lbs
  • 40:4.54 secs
  • Shuttle:4.4
  • Vertical:36 inches
  • Class:2012 (High School)

Zeke Pike 4* QB

  • Ht:6'5"
  • Wt:220 lbs
  • 40:4.7 secs
  • GPA:3.6
  • Class:2012 (High School)

E-signing, it's the new wave....

This will be the way it's done, when the school systems can afford to.Times are changing slowly because of the increased financial burden placed on public schools. The NCAA is actually trying to keep pace with today's fast changing technology. In a story about the first ever electronic signature on a National Latter of Intent (NLI).

She's the test case for former National Letter of Intent director Eugene Byrd, who says the recruit will become the first college athlete to sign the NLI electronically.

The story is HERE.

My take....

I look for Auburn to finish strong today, with maybe a 5* recruit, and 3 or 4, 4* recruits, giving their pledge to play for the Tigers.

I also am looking for that surprise recruit that most never heard of. One of those like Tunde Fariyike, that nobody had on their radar, that will end up starting one day and be a major contributor. I just feel it, it's going to happen.

Jon Solomon describes what hurts the Tigers the most in past recruiting classes.

The missing signees are spread out among positions. They include six offensive linemen, four wide receivers, four defensive backs, three linebackers, three running backs and three defensive linemen.

Give Gene Chizik credit for even handed justice. A violation of team rules is not an area to be trifled with. No matter if you are the best RB on the team, or someone that just signed your NLI. The rules are there for all to see. So are the examples of what happens when you think the rules do not apply to you.

Just how many recruits Auburn signs this class is hard to know in advance. My guess is that we sign 20 to 23, and use whatever we need to fill up again next year. Statistics show, that with new coordinators, you will lose some players from your current roster. How many, will be key going forward.

As always your comments are most welcome as we await word from Auburn Athletics about the new team members.

I stole this from HABOTN

Thanks a lot Jay G. Tate…
TE Ricky Parks, 6-4, 235, Hogansville, Ga./Callaway H.S.
The oddest thing with Parks is that everyone wanted him as a tight end, which is a position he hasn’t played in two years. His high-school team needed Parks at quarterback – an assignment he graciously accepted. Prior to that, Parks was known as "Sticky Ricky" for his ability to catch any ball thrown in his vicinity. Parks is a big and muscular kid — he won’t be physically overmatched — but his footwork will be a work in progress. Parks considered offers from Alabama and Georgia before committing to the Tigers shortly after Big Cat Weekend. His allegiance never wavered. Parks is a consensus four-star prospect.

CB Jonathan Jones, 5-8, 170, Carrollton, Ga./Carrollton H.S.
Jones has the skills of a five-star defensive back, but he’s a consensus three-star guy because of his height. Jones is a little guy. He’s thin and short and, frankly, doesn’t look the least bit intimidating. Jones is extremely fast and quick. He hits hard, which is surprising giving his diminutive stature. Jones reminds me of a young Jerraud Powers, who is on the small side for a cornerback yet carved out a lucrative career in the NFL. Jones has refined skills to go with his outstanding speed, so he has a chance to surprise. He earned an Auburn offer after a July camp, accepted it a few weeks later and never entertained any other offers.

CB Joshua Holsey, 5-9, 175, Fairburn, Ga./Creekside H.S.
Holsey, like future classmate Jonathan Jones, is a very skilled prospect who lacks notable size. As it stands, he’s a consensus four-star guy who played in the Under Armour All-American game. What sticks out about Holsey is his quickness off the ball and a refined ability to play the ball in phase. He’ll need a bit more size to emerge as a valuable run-support element, but Holsey isn’t scared of contact. He’s another guy who could be a special-teams star this fall. Holsey had offers from every SEC school, but never wavered after committing in May.

Its strange considering how many LBer recruits we have committed

But bottom line is that 2 or 3 of those LBer recruits are definite projects. We only have 2 starters locked in for next year. I think you are looking at us having at least 2 true freshman in the 2 deep at LBer next year with an outside shot at starting a true freshman. Davis or Kwon are the most likely to grab those spots with Davis possible running to Texas at the last minute anyway.

chizik should have promoted from within vs. going outside and taking way too long to pick up an OC. critical mistake, IMHO,… critical mistake.

I have been saying that a long time...

We should’ve bumped Luper or Taylor to OC then brought in Dameyune Craig as the quarterbacks coach and wham we’ve got a beautiful signing cast this year. I’m excited about this class, but I’m certainly disappointed too. This is the year that is supposed to benefit from the national championship so much. That just didn’t happen and I too think he made a critical mistake.

It's Auburn against the world. Good luck world.

Gene Chizik has recovered his first class with a save from the Tubbs start, and brought in two top 5 classes, that now are full of SEC game experience. This year he puts that icing on the cke with another potential top 10 class.
Blessed to have Gene as our coach.

We need to finish with a flourish...

and we need to punk out the PAC12 since USC has been in our back yard all day! Since no one else in the SEC has done it… let’s take some of their talent! Get Shittu!

There is some talent still out there. We need some more and we will be over the hump.

I’d be the first to admit that I was EXTREMELY worried in how this year has gone. We didn’t do well against our rivals. We lost our Coordinators. it took a long time to replace them. And while we had a decent base to build on in recruiting because of the unknowns surrounding the program (particularly our OC situation) it cost us. We took some hits. But today, AU has battled back. We didn’t have a top 5 finish. But I hope we can close with a top 10.

AU is close to getting over the hump and into the elite programs. We are better than most. But because of our proximity to bama and LSU I think we are often overlooked. Maintaining a top 10 performance in recruiting will send a clear signal to EVERYONE in the SEC and the country that AU isn’t a team that messes around.

Are we blessed to have Coach Chizik? Yes.

But I bet if you asked him, he would say that street runs both ways.

I have to keep in mind that Chizik is still a young coach. He has discipline… but he still finding his way on pinache. I think he is learning that image is everything. Especially when you are dealing with the prima donnas up the road. Heck, it’s all they understand.

I’m saying that this class was a fluke on it being out of the top ten and that Chizik won’t let that happen again. That does mean I’m not being completely negative I just wanted more recruits.

We never agree on anything just about right? That’s what makes us keep things interesting. I’m not saying we didn’t do well today. I’ve said we did well. I just think it could’ve been better that’s all. Plus, Darby and Goldman going to FSU really hurt. Both of those kids are straight ball players that will be difference makers from their freshman year. FSU may have had more playing time to offer them I’m not sure. Either way, I look for 2013 to be much, much better. Because if it’s not, then I think there is a reason to hit the panic button. Everything is looking like Auburn will do well next year in recruiting. Now to those of you who are not Auburn followers and say we say that every year, I DO NOT. Nobody would accuse me of being too optimistic but I honestly think we get at least top five. I’m expecting at least one major recruiting site to pick Auburn as the National Recruiting Champion.

But AU rallied late. We did ok. We got some good kids who are safe bets. I think we will be ok.

I still think AU pulls 1 or 2 more. And I bet they come from somewhere else… who are unsigned. But I do agree with KB too… I don’t think he will take an unncessary risk either. He will save the schollys if they are questionable. But if he pulls the trigger… AU will be in the top 10.

I truly believe that it will.

Even more so, you must consider the prospect of the Safeties coach from the Falcons coming to Auburn. If we get him too, you can bet that Auburn will pick up more of the top defensive prospects in the country than anybody else in the country. I firmly believe that. We will really benefit from a top 10 defense. There was no time for Brian Van Gorder to really build relationships with recruits. Next year will tell the tale. Oh, and keep in mind Bama will witness Kirby Smart going somewhere to be a head coach. In addition, Sal Sunseri is gonna be recruiting against them with Tennessee using some of those same connections. Plus, the gray shirting thing was not very positive for them. They racked up this year. Do not be surprised to see Auburn finish higher in recruiting than UA and LSU by several recruiting sites for our 2013 class. We’ll benefit from the home field advantage this year. It’s going to make a difference I do believe.

Only two to announce that in the SEC...

I would like to know if the recruits knew this prior to signing. It could have been a recruiting tool, or a pleasant surprise from the University for signing with AU

I hope they didn't know...

As if they did and we still only finished where we did, that’s highly disappointing. You know, I have to think that Auburn is going to sell that for 2013. Yet again, we have another huge reason that Auburn is going do well coming February 1, 2013. I really believe we might just have the #1 class guys. I’m getting excited already!

It's Auburn against the world. Good luck world.

It could be that they were told this in the last couple of days..

That may have swayed a few, but more than likely, they just found out today.

the former secret to Saban's recruiting success....

marctorrence Marc Torrence
Saban “We couldn’t send out too many scholarships on a ‘maybe’” because of the new rule.

Yeah man

The new rule totally killed his ability to recruit #1 classes…

Stanford isn’t done either. Is the favorite to land elite DL Azziz Shittu.

Well sorry KB...

It happens man. Don’t give up though…or was that your source for the surprise? I was getting really excited over a surprise five star. Ouch that sucks. From Gene Chizik’s presser, it didn’t seem as though he knew were granting four year scholarships like that. If that is the case, I have to wonder what just happened. That’s confusing.

It's Auburn against the world. Good luck world.

by Sparkey on Feb 1, 2012 4:24 PM CST up reply actions  

My source will remain confedential

Aziz Shittu was the surprise that had a very strong Auburn lean.
The fact that Stanford leads, tells me it was not his grades that kept him from traveling across the country to play

Look on the bright side

At least we don’t have to learn to spell that name or put up with the inevitable jokes.

AU

What are the chances?

by jimau95 on Feb 1, 2012 4:31 PM CST up reply actions  

Davonte Neal is a 4* WR with 4.4 speed

AU may have a chance, he holds an offer from Auburn. Trooper Taylor was recruiting him.

Thanks KoolBell!

It was nice having 1 place that I could see all the recruiting news that I cared about. It’s not about who we didn’t get, it’s about these good players joining the family. Now it’s up to the coaching staff to make them great. Here’s to our bright future. WAR EAGLE!!

ESPN just reviewed the top un-signed prospects.

-D. Neal will wait at least a week to decide, visiting nearby U. of Ariz this weekend. Auburn was not mentioned in his top 5 list.

-S. Diggs announces Feb. 10. Auburn is considered in his top 4 (Auburn, FSU (not again!), Florida, Ohio St.).

-J. Diamond announces this Friday. Auburn was not mentioned is his top 4.

-Take that info for what its worth… but Auburn will need some serious luck to get one from this list.

Good Job Kool Bell!

I think we did good and can not wait till spring practice to watch the quarterback race and new coordinators show us some of their schemes!

Thanks KB

I followed all day on my blackberry, but didn’t have a chance to comment on anything. Really stunk losing a lot of close ones to FSU. Really surprised DGB went to Mizzou! Whatevs. Glad we got these guys on board and hopefully they are ALL IN and ready to go to work. Getting those 5* players is nice, but I’ll take team oriented 3 and 4 stars all day. War Eagle and welcome to the Family boys.
