Travis commits

MONDAY NOONISH
Post No. 1,003

Hey everyone.

DT Jamar Travis of W.S. Neal High in Brewton surprised nobody today by committing to the Tigers. A Southern Miss commitment since December, Travis earned an offer from Auburn during the weekend.

He accepted today.

Auburn now has 20 players committed to its 2009 signing class.

Maybe tomorrow will bring more notable goings-on.; 8:28 PM
Anonymous said...: tigercowboy,

I don't think the new staff really wants Coleman. I may be projecting, cuz I'm not that sold on the kid, but I read somewhere that we haven't been in contact since Willis left. I personally think he is the least exciting DL commit we have.; 8:29 PM
Miller said...: How on Earth are the girls only ranked 5th?!!?
They have beaten UT, UF, and tOSU all ranked in the top 15... they are 20-0...
What more do they have to do?; 8:40 PM
Anonymous said...: Looks like we still need 2 OL, 2 "Tall-Gazelle WRs" and 1 good DB.; 8:41 PM
Kathy said...: Miller, I was upset with the ranking too. It will be interesting to see the Coaches Poll tomorrow.; 8:41 PM
Monica said...: Nosa Eguae - Dumps Texas for Auburn? Any confirmation on that Jay G.?; 8:52 PM
Monica said...: Is that old news? I haven't been keeping up very well today.; 8:53 PM
Jet said...: Should his name be Noza ... to fit in with the current program?; 8:59 PM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Auburnundercover is reporting that an "All American cornerback" is coming to AU for an unofficial visit. Is this Greg Reid from Valdosta? Anyone know?; 8:59 PM
barkley for governor said...: step your game up mon. don't take the queen title lightly.; 9:00 PM
Monica said...: Roof and Taylor visited Greg King today - he'll visit this weekend - he's "committed" to TN now, but says he'll come with an open mind. All per Bryan Matthews @ Rivals; 9:01 PM
Monica said...: You get what you pay for, Barkley.; 9:02 PM
Miller said...: Rivals is reporting that Eguae has committed to AU... I think coaches visited him today.

Whatchoo... either Reid or Taikwon Paige...; 9:03 PM
Anonymous said...: Nosa is on the way; 9:04 PM
Miller said...: Weren't they supposed to visit Blake today as well? Any word from that meeting yet?; 9:04 PM
Cotton said...: Tuberville on ESPN signing day special? A place where they only talk about the top 4 and 5 star prospects?

I hope they realize Tuberville can't talk all that in depth or from experience about those kinds of recruits.; 9:05 PM
Monica said...: In school visit to Chiz/Luper/Rocker - they brought the whole gang to Nosa! I like it.; 9:05 PM
Anonymous said...: it's Greg Reid that's visiting; 9:05 PM
Anonymous said...: The all American db that auburn undercover is talking about is Greg Reid. However, rivals has him scheduled to visit Georgia this weekend. He is a 5 star.; 9:05 PM
YoungPJ said...: Randle isn't visiting anymore? Its still on via Rivals...; 9:07 PM
Miller said...: Taikwon Paige is listed as a visitor this weekend as well... he is a big time JuCo CB... Roof was recruiting him prior to coming to AU... From whatI have heard and read, if we extend an offer on his visit this weekend he will jump at it (and we most likely will give him the offer)...; 9:10 PM
Monica said...: I'm not seeing anything on Blake yet. The plane trackers are convinced that visit is happening tonight.; 9:14 PM
Jet said...: Can't you see guys in folding chairs, sitting on the side of the road by the Auburn airport?; 9:16 PM
Monica said...: HA! I think it would be fun to stalk the stalkers.; 9:19 PM
Anonymous said...: Campfire interest on chatroll anyone or is it to late?; 9:20 PM
Miller said...: Got any Eguae quotes to share Mon?; 9:24 PM
Monica said...: Aubrey Phillips to visit this weekend. More Trooper work today.; 9:25 PM
Jet said...: If Tommy Tuberville is on ESPNU and no one listens to him ... did he recruit a lick the last two years?

I'm just kidding. Please Zteve, et. al, I'm just joking.; 9:25 PM
Monica said...: Nosa - "It was crazy," he said. "I thanked them for everything and then told them 'War Eagle!' Coach Chizik jumped up in the office. It was like pandemonium. He gave me a real big hug. I gave a big hug to Coach Rocker and Coach Luper, too. Everything went really good." Per Jeff Lee at Rivals; 9:27 PM
Monica said...: Last Nosa quote - per Jeff Lee at Rivals - "God really works in mysterious ways," Eguae said last week after his visit from Auburn. "This time last month, I wasn't even really considering Auburn as a school that I wanted to spend the next 4-5 years at. But after they hired the new coaches … it's just real crazy how everything fell into place.

"The coaches that were recruiting me to other schools basically came together all at one school."; 9:29 PM
YoungPJ said...: Nice. I wouldn't mind Rocker giving me a hug; 9:30 PM
Anonymous said...: Goldberg said "Nosey" committed...I got that nickname from right here and Jay G. Tate (when I register a real name here, do I have to send a check for $19.95?); 9:31 PM
Miller said...: Sweet...sounds like he is genuinely excited about AU.; 9:35 PM
YoungPJ said...: That is the kind of player we want: excited to play for AU. That, and they shall not sell cocaine.; 9:36 PM
Monica said...: Yeah, I can't help but like them a little extra when they seem genuinely excited to be coming to Auburn.; 9:38 PM
Monica said...: goodnight hotties; 9:43 PM
AUant said...: Thanks for all the info Mon...goodnight!!! War Eagle; 9:44 PM
Kathy said...: Thanks for the updates Monica. Good night!!!; 9:45 PM
Anonymous said...: Greg Reid, CB eliminated Gators - AU longshot but Roof pushing - FSU supposed to be one to beat.

Greg King to visit 1/30 - TN lean but Roof and Trooper convinced him to visit AU.

Randle - Favoring LSU-AL-OK, will he back out of visit to AU again?; 9:46 PM
Miller said...: thanks for the 'crutin updates mon....; 9:50 PM
Miller said...: I'd love to get Reid and King... Paige as well...

I have no grand delusions of Randle coming to AU... I think he's all LSU. Would be nice to get him on campus, but I don't know that it would matter much.; 9:52 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Blake. If your still on, I get the feeling that AU is not hot for Coleman anymore as well. Too many signs pointing that way.; 9:57 PM
Spongeworthy said...: Miller. Agree on Randall. Hard to get someone that's never seen your campus until a couple days before the dead period. Unless we had wads of cash.

I had heard that CGC wasn't too high on several of the kids Tubby had committed. Based on some of the defections, I think that's playing out. We have enough 5 foot 7 guys. We need some beef.; 10:00 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Busy night. How I survived without constant HABOTN updates is a mystery.

Great news on Nosy. Rats about Randle.

Monica- thanks so much for all that info.; 10:01 PM
Spongeworthy said...: What up Tar. We're rollin toward the final week. Last week will tell the tale. If AU ends up top 20 in cruitin, I'll be satisfied for this year.; 10:05 PM
Spongeworthy said...: ABC local news. Reporter says "not one person they have talked to yet in Tuscaloosa was disappointed Gottfried was fired." His new name. Gottfired.; 10:07 PM
BinOBA said...: Nice commits today. Great work by Chiz and the gang. Anyone see "sugar lumps" on flight of the concords last night?; 10:08 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: any news on Robert Cooper out of Daphne?

I sure hope we can find a hidden pearl OL in the next week. or two. or three.

Emory Blake and DeAngelo Benton each over 6'... one or both of them would be nice.; 10:37 PM
BinOBA said...: Au rivals i think is touting an ol that may be visiting that is on our "big board". I haven't greased the right palms for the info, though.; 10:47 PM
Chris in Inverness said...: Tuberville recruiting = path of least resistance.

To quote Hetfield - Sad but true; 10:59 PM
BinOBA said...: I'm sure his commentary will be riveting. Can't wait for his insight on the AU effort.
"Naw, we never thought we would sign him so we didn't recruit him heavy. We did a lot of lookin around and found some guys we knew we could get and fit our scheme so he was never on our radar while i was coaching at Auburn "; 11:19 PM
DoWhat? said...: Probably OL Aubrey Phillips, a 4* from Olive Branch, MS Current UT commit but still looking for the right fit; 11:42 PM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Good Morning Hotties!!!

WARRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!; 6:36 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Good morning all. I'm looking forward to see what today brings. Yesterday was a good day for commitments.; 6:37 AM
Monica said...: Good morning, Eddie.

I'm waiting to see if I have a snow day today. Weather Team Greg has called it already and is staying home.; 6:50 AM
Jet said...: 'Sposed to be 74 in da Gump.; 6:52 AM
Anonymous said...: Good morning, Hotties!

Miller and Kathy - I, too, was disappointed with the ranking of the Auburn women's basketball team. The #2 team, Oklahoma has 2 losses for heaven's sake! Their schedule must be extremely tough.; 6:53 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Good Morning Monica.

I am jealous. I want snow, but we never get it. My daughter wants to build a snowman badly. Guess I will have to head north to the mountains one weekend and hope to see some.; 6:54 AM
Miller said...: Snow day?!
I'm debating on whether to even put on pants it's s'posed to be so warm here in the Gump today.

I'm thinking of expanding my underpants radius to the include the office... but, it might violate dress code. I could just wear my dressy boxers, right?; 6:56 AM
Anonymous said...: Only if they're HABOTN boxers, Miller!; 6:57 AM
Miller said...: Now THAT is a great marketing idea!; 7:00 AM
Anonymous said...: Monica, I'm looking at the radar on weather.com and you don't need to go anywhere. Get another cup of coffee and sit down and relax!; 7:01 AM

YoungPJ said...: Good morning from on the Plains! I'm excited to see what today brings; 7:30 AM
Monica said...: I'm going to take some pictures in a bit and post them. It's sooo pretty. I had a HUGE meeting today, but had to reschedule. I'll still work, but it may be from home.

Miller - Clothing is optional where you work???

Eddie - You gotta get those babies to some snow!; 7:42 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Morning all.

I'm loving all the talk about recruiting ... and dreading the winter agony that comes when there is nothing but basketball to discuss.; 7:47 AM
YoungPJ said...: After perusing rivals and scout, it looks like Tana P is ready to commit and I'm undecided if Randle will visit. I have a bad feeling it won't be for AU. Probably Bama, we will see.; 7:49 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: I for one am sick and tired of the Randle tease. Give me Emory Blake and his AUsome attitude and send this primadonna packing!

What's really exciting this morning is the visit from OT Aubrey Phillips. Huge, talented and smart OT:

Ht: 6-foot-6
Wt: 310 lbs
Forty: 5.1 secs
GPA: 3.8
ACT: 17; 7:56 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: someone else posted yesterday after Nosa announced, "War Eguae"
I thought that was clever. Sounds like a great cheer after a Nosy Sack.

XX fingers crossed for Tana to come our way.; 8:11 AM
Monica said...: I have a news flash: John Longshore is a dilweed of gargantuan proportions.; 8:39 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: Monica, who is Longshore?

War Eguae!; 8:41 AM
j-z said...: The bad thing is Mon, he's not half as bad as he used to be.

Will the Hotmobile make it through the snow?; 8:41 AM
Miller said...: Yes, pants are part of the dress code where I work. I'm just glad they still have the ac on (stupid people around here have ac on when it's cold out and heater on when it warms up - slow reaction time I guess). So far they haven't reacted to last week's cold snap and turned the heat on. Which I fully expect them to do, now that is warm again.; 8:46 AM
Monica said...: Hey Silly - I'm not sure if you're being silly or not, but Longshore is co-host of the show on http://www.sportsradio740.com/. What a jerk. I can't believe he is better than he used to be???

JZ - The HOTmobile would never betray me by getting me to the office. However, for more noble purposes she would most definitely make it through snow.

Bosslady just made the call and the office is closed today. So, I'll be warm and safe at home with Greg and the puppies today.; 8:46 AM
Anonymous said...: resisting...the...urge...to...ask...Monica...why...; 8:46 AM
Norm said...: I grew up w/Longshore & can attest that he's definitely more palatable now than way back when.; 8:47 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Morning HOTTness!!!
Auburn gets two more commits!!

Great Start to the morning to hear!; 8:48 AM
Miller said...: John Longshore is an attention seeking finebum wanna-be, no talent hack.
I can't listen to that show. I'd rather hear static and fingernails on a chalkboard than listen to Longshore.; 8:49 AM
j-z said...: Noble purpose = heading south and stopping in TN to pick up 2 cases of Fat Tire beer for me.; 8:51 AM
Monica said...: HAHAHAHA!! Luv! nevah evah resist the urge to ask why! The reason I love it is because I'm so the same way.; 8:51 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: I hear ya J-Z. I want some Fat Tire Beer also.; 8:52 AM
Monica said...: This comment has been removed by the author.; 8:53 AM
j-z said...: Fat Tire = Heaven in a brown glass bottle.; 8:54 AM
Monica said...: Good morning, Mobile!

JZ - That is exactly the kind of noble purpose I had in mind. ;-); 8:55 AM
Anonymous said...: Plane leaving Austin this a.m. heading to Monroe, La. Last busy week for the AU plane.; 8:58 AM

Jay G. Tate said...: New thread on its way.; 9:09 AM
j-z said...: Ehyou...the only downside is that TN is the only state East of the Mississippi where you can buy it.; 9:11 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: The AU plane flying to Monroe, LA apparently represents more efforts by Super Duper Trooper (SDT) to land Reuben "The Tease" Randle, since Bastrop is close by (23 miles away).

[insert huge sigh here]; 9:11 AM
Miller said...: I am not motivated to be productive this morning.
Fat Tire beer... Never heard of it before, but I'll have to try and find some to try.

Now back to our regularly scheduled 'crutin updates:
Plane heading to Monroe? Going to speak to RR?
What's the latest on BB... He coming in for a visit or not? Is KK coming for a visit this weekend?
Getting away from the alliteration, anyone know how the mtg with E-Blake went last night?; 9:12 AM
AUnMobilz (CAM-"Da Man") said...: Luv,
I know you love some Auburn Womens BBall!!!!; 9:29 AM
Jet said...: Back to alliteration ...

Went Wonderfully.

Commitment Coming?

Please. Please.; 9:33 AM
