Recruiting syllabus
FRIDAY NOONISH
Post No. 1,017
Hey everyone. Thanks for visiting the HABOTN so frequently last night and this morning. I knew Thursday night would give us plenty to discuss. Gene Chizik certainly didn't disappoint.
One of the things he addressed was how these next few days will be exciting for him. This weekend ought to put a few gray hairs on his head.
That's because Auburn is playing host to some pretty significant prospects. Let's take a gander:

Hey everyone. Thanks for visiting the HABOTN so frequently last night and this morning. I knew Thursday night would give us plenty to discuss. Gene Chizik certainly didn't disappoint.
One of the things he addressed was how these next few days will be exciting for him. This weekend ought to put a few gray hairs on his head.
That's because Auburn is playing host to some pretty significant prospects. Let's take a gander:
- WR Rueben Randle (Bastrop, La.): Star wideout. Everybody wants him. Auburn probably won't get him, but simply coaxing a visit from a 5-star recruit doesn't hurt the Tigers' cause.
- S Daren Bates (Olive Branch, Miss.): Lightly recruited until recently. Committed to Auburn with an Alabama offer in hand. He's teammates with OL Aubrey Phillips, who is a Tennessee commit who may be wavering. Speaking of him ...
- OL Aubrey Phillips (Olive Branch, Miss.): He has offers from everyone. He's a 6-foot-6 tackle. He told AuburnSports.com that he'll head to Auburn with an open mind. Phillips is one to watch.
- TB David Oku (suburban Oklahoma City): Elusive, compact back. Listed at 5-10. I watched him play a couple times on TV (I went to HS in Oklahoma and like keeping up with those teams) and he was willing to brawl between the tackles. Looks like a good one to me. He's a Tennessee commitment who is being recruited by Eddie Gran.
- CB Taikwon Paige (originally of Aiken, S.C.): He's a junior-college guy who was committed to Minnesota when Ted Roof was there. Paige doesn't currently have an offer from Auburn. Rivals.com lists Paige as a 4-star recruit, but he hasn't received offers from many (any?) BCS schools.
- DT Corey Gaines (Tallahassee, Fla.): Active, spark-plug kind of inside lineman. He has offers from a variety of SEC schools. He seemed to enjoy his visit to Ole Miss last weekend and says the Rebels are his leader. Auburn has several Tallahassee guys on the roster, so perhaps that can help the Tigers' chances this weekend.
- Other visitors include: LB Greg King (Memphis), DT Jamontay Pilson (Greenville) and QB Clint Moseley (Leroy).

JUAN!
Miguel
proxy for Dear Leader
Rameriz
Thank you, Josh for knowing Tyrik's name.
fhbbhfb
Hmmm this will sure be an interesting weekend. I'm looking for a great wrap-up on Sunday and I know Jay "the Mailman" Tate always deilvers.
Hope we can snag Phillips. That's a big kid
The most fun post on the Rivals Bunker in a few days:
"Re: ***Recruiting chat with Mike Farrell at 11 a.m. ET*** Reply
-----------------------------------
Originally posted by dukesucks10:

Hmm, that's a good question. I heard from a good source that Rueben Randle would shock the world and pick Auburn after this weekend. Also heard Bobby Massie would end up at Ole Miss. And I know for a fact that Andre Debose was thinking about taking a secret trip out to Southern Cal this weekend but he never made it."
If I could choose any one of these guys it would be Phillips. AU is in dire need of ALL lineman, but OT is at the top of the list. We seem to have a roster overweighted toward interior O-lineman.
Mon,
The small version of your avatar looks like Cat Woman relieving herself in a "manly" kinda way.
weagle83 - LOL, you're absolutely right.
I am proud to admit (though disappointed in myself) that I had not made that observation
It's a whip.
By the way, that's Rivals.com National Recruiting Analyst Mike Farrell not B.J. Hunnicutt from M*A*S*H*.
Monica, what do you think about the statement about Randle?
Weagle83 - That explains something from the other night. Thank you. HA
Thanks THT....you know i am watching..
Just waiting in the wings for permission to play..
LUV - I think it's fun. Nothing more, nothing less. My heart can't take putting too much stock in anyone's predictions. lol
Monica if someone gave you 7:1 on Randle coming to Auburn how much would you bet?
Your money or mine?
Yours, I already bet the house.
I'm ready to be shocked......bring it on RR
I don't bet my money on 17 year olds and their "mentors".
Just sitting back and watching. Does anyone else ever feel like a voyeur or stalker when doing that. Just don't have anything to add as of late. Kind a creepy.
Your brother's wife's cousin's next door neighbor's uncle's money?
I'm just glad people have to use Auburn in the same sentence with high-profile recruits, even the ones from off.
I bet every penny that freak had.
Word. That's what I like to hear.
Hotties you know if we start a rumor here, it will be the gospel on every AU site and that PF guy will be discussing it this evening.
Jay rivals has Bates as 5-11, Scout and ESPN say he's 6-1. Have you seen him and can you confirm his height?
Monica, are your expectations pretty high or are you desparately trying not to get your hopes up?
AU1 - I think the majority of hotties ARE lurkers. At least I THINK.
You guys think we entertain any surprise visitors this weekend like we did last weekend with Benton and Atchison?
Luv - Yes.
I tend to go from very active in a short period of time to long periods of lurking...it really depends on how productive I need to be at work.
I got a feeling that Auburn gets to shockers....RR and TP.
Just got a feeling!
Can't stay away from work long enough to post much......guess my priorities are out of order
If you mean shocker like Bryce Brown's vacation to Nebraska is code for "I'm taking a visit and committing to Auburn" then I say heck yes.
Monica, that wasn't a yes or no question...
Yes that is the word I wanted. Lurkers.
Thanks Mon! We didn't get much snow by the way couple of inches and then a good amount of ice. Annoying!
weagle,
hush yo mouth!!!! pots often n early on the HABOTN!111
well, yes it was, but to what are you saying yes?
SHOCK IT TO ME
There is always a lot of disinformation floating around this time of year, from players and schools. See the Dre Kirkpatrick visit to Texas, and Tana Patrick speculation to anywhere but Bama. I would be shocked to see Randle at AU but who knows.
oops
pots=post
sorry!
I like lurking on HABOTN. Never know when I might post something after being called out :)!
depressed, I've got a whole cooler of Kool-Aid on my desk here at 1 Coca-Cola plaza, I suggest you stop by for a cup.
Shocker= OMG factor!!!
rumor has it that the ncaa is considering rule changes that will make football more like "thunderdome".
scott!
Still trying to make "Kicker on a Stick" an NCAA sanctioned sport?
Do we know if Randle has actually left Bastrop? I hate getting my hopes up only to have them dashed. So I'll just be "hopeless" until it's confirmed he has arrived.
it could happen, mobilz.
Apparently Brad Bradshaw left a message telling Auburn to leave him alone, looks like we'll have to get him to sneak out.
Sean Z- a cup won't do for me. Better make it a super-sized Big Gulp.
I can ask someone down the hall and see if we can't put it half liter bottles and get ya a case.
Good golly will I be glad when all this 'cruitin is over with. I'm ready for some spring practice and some A Day.
Brad Bradshaw ????? Oh yeah, that's Terry's brother's 2nd and
4th cousin
Apparently somewhere in that twisted chain of events the guy lost his mind..."I called them and said stay away but they apparently didn't listen to me." What a joke.
Is anyone else making their Superbowl predictions based on the number of former Auburn players on the roster or is that just me?
BigCat, that's perfect. The number of former AU players on the roster is pretty much the only NFL stat I'm concerned with these days... well, that and how many TD's Ronnie Brown ran, caught, or threw. (I almost said "threw for", but then I remembered Monica). dang prepositions.
BigCat as long as the equation means Cardinals win, I'm all for it.
60...the number of points auburn scores in the opener.
Reuben Randle catches 7 balls for 161 yards and 3 TDs. I don't know who's throwing them.
Luv - Yes is the answer to both questions.
AU1 - You didn't get any snow because we're getting all of it. We had a blizzard this morning like I haven't seen since living here and it's still snowing. Crazy.
I have my emergencies supplies loaded, my Saint Christopher necklace on and I'm headed to Ashland, KY. It's normally a 30 minute trip. We'll see how long it takes today.
Lata hotties
SeanZ - I think those numbers were the offensive prediction for the '08 opener.
Be safe Monica
TarHeel, if at first you don't succeed...fire Tony Franklin!
As long as Reuben's stats aren't from Greg McElroy throwing it. Of course, I'm sure he and Star Jackson are going to share the next three Heismans
As I write this, it is 1:48 p.m. central standard time on the 30th day of January, in the year 2009 of our Lord.
J-Z ... if I don't see a Kicker on a Stick logo by 3 p.m., I'm makin' a ruling -- and I'm the guy who can make a ruling on you -- that you are going to be diced up into little Autauga County meatballs for my Super Bowl supper.
Got it?
HA! The HABOTN crack pipe lured me back in just in time to see that wonderful threat from Jet. Which shall hereafter be known as "Jet Threat". I like it. Get ready to make your meatballs, he ain't gonna do it.
mmmmmmmm...meatballs made from people (Homer simpson voice)
Soylent Green meatballs...
I have given up on J-Z and the kicker on a stick logo... it was promised nearly 3 weeks ago and hasn't shown up yet.
D Miller,
There's your kicker on a stick -->
That looks uncomfortable
I think that's kind of the point... kicker on a stick
Michael Eargle, anybody know anything about this JC recruit visiting this weekend?
http://auburn.scout.com/a.z?s=6&p=8&c=1&nid=3826556
Thank you Aubie.... made my day!
but does it get the Jet seal of approval?
I see where Rivals says we are expecting 15 visitors this weekend? They say they have 21 confirmed and possibly as many as 17!?
I can only access the visitor list on scout... and they only have 8 listed... Who are the other 7-9 visitors??
Aubie, despite your disrespect for the sanctity of the Auburn uniform, I salute you for doing in 3 minutes what J-Z has failed to do in a month -- produce a kicker on a stick.
Just kidding about the disrespect thing. Not really. OK, a little. But not a lot.
Your pal,
Jet
Jet,
Glad to help.
I am glad we can look past our differences of color... mine orange jerseys, yours blue... and come together as one.
Well, not literally you understand. figuratively.
D Miller, you have mail
"...who are the other 7-9 visitors?"
Reuben Randle's entourage
15-17 is a ton...Scout only has 10 listed as of right now.
I got it... thanks Aubie!
Figuratively, Aubie. Definitely figuratively.
It's OK if you two want to cuddle.
Ok...I have kicker on a stick artwork in hand, but since I've been threatened by a disgruntled state employee, (wait, that's redundant isn't it?), I'll just have to hold on for another day or so.
BigCat: I'll confirm Bates' height this weekend.
J-Z ... It's gonna be hard for you hold onto anything ... when don't have any $#%$%$#% HANDS!
Jet McElroy
Lead Singer and Driver of the Winnebago
Scout reporting that one of the visitors is a 205# OG.... Seriously?
I saw that as well...hope it's a typo.
maybe we are putting another long snapper on scholarship
jet, photoshop an image from the many vlad the impaler shots for the logo. i would, but i'm computeraly impaired.
supposedly there really is a long snapper on an official visit. We are now going to be known as longsnapper U
It just shows Chizik's focus on special teams.
If we can't beat LSU ... we might as well change our name to LSU -- Long Snapper University!
OK, no.
Ron Mexico. All your property to be sold but your closer to a half-way house by the day. Next stop, the NFL. Things are looking up, dawg. Oh, sorry.
Put Damon Duval in the Vlad photo
damon duval was a heckuva kicker that tubs nearly ruined (imo). check out his stats in the cfl.
If we sign another long-snapper I will jump out of my window. It's only about a 2-ft fall, but I think it will prove a point.
Just to fan the rumor mills... I have heard that UT fans are up in arms about us stealing three of their commits: David Oku, Aubrey Phillips, and D.T. Shackelford. Perhaps it's just paranoia.
I have also heard that OL Johnnie Farms might be a visitor. Apparently he had a recent visit from Roof. Also CB Gerald West, a soft commit with UA. Looks like there might be some nice suprises on Wednesday after all.
After this weekend, can coaches still contact/visit players on monday and tuesday?
Can we agree to stay away from the term "Shocker?" It brings back some unpleasant memories.
I would dance a little jig in public if we could snag those three (former) UT kids. I will grin with glee at their righteous hillbilly indignation, which stems mostly from the sense of entitlement that comes from overpaying Kiffins2 and Ogreon. Luv it.
However, WHERE are we going to put all these kids??? Not counting chickens prematurely, but do we have any room for big time surprises (now that we've signed three dozen 5'8" slot receivers)???
never liked ut. a cousin of mine has promised to include me in her yacht party next time we play up there--that has to be a cool way to get to a game.
J-Z...I think I speak for everyone when I say that we don't want to hear your shocker story
Of course, a yacht in Tennessee is a piece of plywood stretched across four innertubes.
It would be like Carnell-Ronnie Redux to snatch some guys from Layla's husband and father-in-law, as well as the coach for whom English is a second language.
I have a shocker article for you guys!
Bryce Brown
His mentor is running some kind of spiritual, non-profit, training camp?? Whatever it is, he claims that the 215-pound Brown has gone from clocking a 4.43 40-yard dash to a 4.28. All that for just $18 per session. And you fans can subscribe to get updates on all of his players for just $9.95. I must admit, it's creative.
Comm'r, that's why I was surprised with Gulleys commitment. Brandon Heavens is visiting Miss St this weekend, and I'm wondering if he is still solid to AU and vice versa. There have been rumblings since Chizik arrived that he was not overly thrilled with some of Tubs commitments and I've been trying to figure out who they might be. This could be one of the more interesting signing days AU has had recently.
Is Bryce Brown now a member of the People's Temple?
i don't care how good he is. that's too weird for me
Has anyone ever been to Shula's Steakhouse?
I'm OK with him ... just as long as he doesn't want his teammates to come over to his apartment for some Koolaid.
Shula's has the best steak in the world. Also be sure to get the BBQ shrimp appetizer. It's all-world.
BigCat, I would suggest everyone from the IRS to the NCAA keep an eye on this minister and his collection plate. I think I would steer clear from this situation, whoever gets Brown probably gains a "commitment" from the minister as well. Maybe I'm just cynical though.
Mac ...
I've been to the one in Disney at the Swan or Dolphin. It was pretty good. It allowed me to say all sorts of obnoxious things as it was the spring after his son's ouster.
If you are in city with a Ruth's Chris or Palm, I'd do that instead.
Whats up yall? i have been a lurker for quite a while and just took the time to figure out how to post stuff on here.
ill start by asking what is probably a dumb question and that is....are we getting close to having too many commits?
I'm hitting the one in Bham tonight. My buddy claims it's better than Ruth's C. Hopefully Mike will be my waiter.
Jet, goin to disagree here...Palm is very good also but Ruth's Chris is vastly overrated IMO. I think Shula's is much better. I didn't go to the one in Disney, I visited the one at the Wynfrey hotel in Birmingham.
Depressed, I have heard that Heavens will almost certainly NOT qualify. But like everything else at this point, it's all speculation. People said that Chiz was not high on Ladarius Perkins but as soon as he decommits, we have coachs flying to his home. Who really knows?
I thought Ruth's Chris wasn't all that the couple of times I've been. I do like the sizzling plate of butter though.
Welcome Nugget
Nugget, welcome to the madness!
You can never have too many recruits!
I'm sure there will be a few NQ's that will help with the numbers.
Mac
Obviously you have never had the seared tuna with ginger and spicy kilbosi sauce on the side!
It is to die for! and the steaks are on like a chicken bone!
That tuna dish does sound good, but I have a don't order fish at a steakhouse rule.
I consider Palm the gold standard of the "chain" premium steak houses. My Shula experience was fine in Disney ... my Ruth's Chris experiences (Bham, Mobile, Baton Rouge) have all been solid.
Now for a non-chain, Bern's in Tampa is incredible.
Aubie... hope you don't mind... I added a lil color to your Kicker on a Stick... (it looks very amateurish when I mess with it though...)
So, Shula's in B'ham is good? I've never been. Maybe I should check it out sometime.
I probably ought to give Shula's in Bham a run ... the Shulas have given so much to us ... it only seems right to give back a little.
My favorite was Manny's in Minneapolis. That place was perfect.
Charley's in Orlando is the best steak I have ever had at a restaurant.
St. Elmo's in Indy is another
Thanks.
yeah i figured there would be a few NQ's and i guess the bull and McCalebb will count to last year's class, correct?
D Miller ... that's a good one, too.
I love Ye Olde in Knoxville as well.
Hotties this is off bases,
But this will crack you up...
Demilition of hte Birmingham International Speedway... notice the wrecking ball is not making a dent in the structure...
"Demolition of the BHR"
Nugget
You are correct
I have a confession. I don't get the kicker on a stick thing.
Mac,
It's an appetizer....
Same as mine Jet...
But my all time favorite is "Morton's" anywhere.... been to Mephis, San Deigo and Chicago Morton's..... DDDDDDDDDDDDDDelicious!!!!
sullivan's in tucson=best restaraunt steak i've ever had. very pricey, though
I love Shula's, I've been to the one in Tampa.
Morton's is really good. It's a much better chain than Ruth's Chris.
Gatiger is in the house now. No really, I mean my home. Not my home away from home working for the man.
So, steaks huh? If you're ever in the north Atlanta area, you'll not be disappointed with Cabernet in Alpharetta. I promise. Book it. Plenty of the pro stars live in this area and if it's good enough for them (and it is quite frequently) then it's good enough for gatiger (and it is a few times a year).
On a separate note, big ups to Scottie-B, I just opened up my HABOTN shirt from the mail this afternoon. Thanks.
I'm off to start my pre-steak drinking ritual...later
Mon,
Remember we were all up in arms about the Durst winning incident cuz he didn't get a scholly....well we said perhaps we should just make him a "Kicker on a Stick" and stand him up outside at the entrance into JHS like "Vlad the Impaler"
kicker on a stick--purely an intimidation tactic. if we'll do that to one of our players, guess what the opposition has forward to look. (that didn't sound grammatically correct, and probably isn't, but i didn't want to end a sentence with "to")
Monica ...
I usually don't brag ... OK, I do. But I will take the blame for this. I suggested to improve our kicking that the first kicker who misses one in pregame warmups be impaled on a stick and slammed down in front of the opposing bench to show how psychotically wonderful we are.
J-Z ran with it, promising a logo.
Epic fail.
He shall pay.
truly, jet is the man.
Here, Here....
scottieb... Jet is the Man!
Thanks for the kicker on a stick explanation. Felt better when Monica said she didn't get it either. That's what I get for skipping out on my HABOTN required reading.
It has also been nominated as the official mascot of the HABOTN... I believe it is scheduled to be included on the back of the HABOTN t-shirt 2.0
I am but a man ... not the man.
Karlos Dansby ... now, that was a man. Hopefully he will be Sunday.
j-z ain't nuthin but a big ole logo tease.
the KOS (kicker on a stick) could replace the polo guy on the front pocket area
I just hope that r. hood does as well as dansby. though probably the safety's fault, he let a couple get by him.
Jet,
Also Coach Gundy of Okie State is "A Man....he's 40"!!!
The kicker-on-a-stick convo was great. I am sorry so many of you missed out on it.
Someone needs to make a HABOTN wikipedia page documenting the various themes. Kristina, you do it.
til you've been on the stick, you don't know if you can take it!
scottieb,
I saw we wait for the first game of the season....see who is the "Hardest Hitter" on D then officially nominate him as "Vlad the Impaler/ KOS enforcer"
Thoughts?
Scott, the best steak I have ever had was at a restaurant in Tucson that use to be a stagecoach stop. I can't remember the name. It's been so long ago. They cooked the steaks outside on an open fire. The place was packed, but well worth the wait.
Steak is really good microwaved.
kicker on a stick logo for HABOTN is no weirder than the sheep in a bow logo for brooks brothers
is that what that is? i always thought it was a buffalo.
and none of it is any weirder than the concept of puppets. I mean do you ever stop and think about that? Who the heck thought of puppets anyway?
it could be. I don't know, I'm going sheep
i think child molesters invented puppets
This conversation keep jumping between kicker on a stick and steak. Probably means something, just not clever enough to figure it out.
chicken on a stick at ole miss is pretty good.
Don't worry Tracy.... if it meant something, it would probably be a first for a random HABOTN convo..
It all means something, but you have to wait for Season 7 of HABOTN to find out what. And unfortunately, the answers will raise just as many questions as there were before.
Nugget and Tracy ...
once Michael arrives we move from the utterly ridiculous to the possibly Canadian.
kathy, we haven't had stage coaches out here in a while. was it li'l abner's or daisy mae's? they are situated as one might expect a stagecoach stop to be. there is also pinnacle peak's--pretty good, but slipping.
Very good Jet.
well, im going to move on from my work to starting my weekend. ill check back withyou catz later.
peace
I'm heading out for dinner. Really afraid I'm gonna impale my burger on a stick....
Have a great weekend fellow HABOTNer's.
indeed... but you must admit it is more enjoyable than my football views. People don't like me as much when I start to make sense. I am more Hoopie than Jet in the football department, but more Jet than Hoopie in the humor department.
Anyway, yeah, puppets man. Where are their feet?
in season 8, we move the habotn.
i want the grass fed, beer fed, massaged cow steak
It is a sheep in a ribbon... I looked it up, I too always thought it was a buffalo
with a side o' bourbon.
You heard it hear folks ...
Michael ... the self-proclaimed Jethoopie.
Wasn't that a song on Family Guy?
you ever tried talking to a puppet? they just look at you like you're stupid and you get so mad at that puppet and end up biting it
The Golden Fleece of Brooks Brothers ... nice shirts. Very nice.
thank you for splainin that to me, Jet
nah, it was shaboopie...it was a take off from a song in The Music Man.
i had a traumatic experience with a puppet, once. nearly got impaled on a pinocchio puppet. made a man out of me.
AUnugget: Too many commitments?
Surely you jest!
No Jay G, i just don't want Auburn to end up getting some of these surprise commits in the next few days and then having to tell some of the lower rated guys "oops, we don't have room for you after all"
im sure that happens other places but i like Auburn to stick to their word, even if other don't.
Yeah ... that's my favorite episode ... the one with Stewie trying to collect the money from Brian ... classic.
Harrison, I have had that problem with puppets also. the secret is to bite them high enough so that you don't bite your own finger in the process. That way you teach them a lesson without going to the emergency room.
I wish you had told me that before i got the nickname 3 fingers
The puppet incident explains what happened to one hand. How did you lose fingers on the other?
i have 2 cats with a thirst for human flesh. I think my wife trained them. I have to sleep in cat proof clothing
I think puppets are cat proof, if you wanted to protect your hands that way. But then you would have to be careful about biting yourself again. Man, I guess there is no easy answer.
You know, I like to think one of my roles at HABOTN is to scare people away from posting at the end of the work day. It seems like I usually spend a few minutes here before going home, and I clear the place out. I mean, how can people even respond to this puppet nonsense (other than a kindred spirit such as Harrison)? I think I do my job well.
Silly Harrison.... there is no such thing as cat-proof clothing...
You're probably safer swimming with sharks while wearing a gutted grouper suit
finally someone understands me.
most people leave work at 5 and it slows down, but i work until 8, so i can post. That or everybody hates us
Is Johnnie Farms really visiting this weekend?
Well sorry Harrison, but you are on your own again. I have to go. See how long you can keep talking about puppets without me.
And Kathy, Johnnie farms is a statement, not a person. You are silly.
Kathy, Brian Matthews said on Sportscall that Farms was visiting, and he felt AU had a good chance to land him. Also said Gerald West may be visiting, but it was not confirmed.
Michael, I think you started your weekend early!
Glad to hear so many visiting this weekend.
Landing Aubrey Philips and Johnnie Farms this weekend would be HUGE!
