Auburn adds a cornerback

Hey everyone. Our friends at AuburnSports.com are reporting that Georgia DB Taikwon Paige has received a scholarship offer and will sign with the Tigers tomorrow morning.

He wasn't recruited by many BCS-conference schools. Not sure why.

Auburn now has commitments from 21 high-school players and two junior-college guys.

Wake,

By brings nothing to the table, I mean he doesn't provide incremental value.

He was highly regarded, but he was either overrated or was "damaged" by early PT/poor coaching. I won't rule out the possibility that he can be "fixed" but I don't think it will happen.

If Caudle had some experience, I think I would agree, but he is very inexperienced. I can only remember him playing in one game, against Tennessee Tech a couple of years ago.

As for the fans and Todd, it really doesn't matter. If his arm is healed he will be hard to beat out at QB. I just find it unlikely his arm will be healed.

Burns is my biggest hope. He was highly rated, but there are plenty of highly rated QBs that flop at the college level. Caudle was also highly regarded, but not as highly as Burns.

I was actually very happy with Todd's performance until the second half against LSU. I was even happy with how he did against MSU. The issues we had there were not QB related. We were getting so many offensive penalties we were doing the cha cha.

I can't say I understand why the distaste for Todd and the support for Burns (in general). I am too tired to look up stats and records, but I feel like we were having more success under Todd, despite his obviously injured arm. If Todd recovers from his most recent shoulder surgery, I wouldn't mind seeing him on the field. But I also like the positive vibe from AU fans these days...

In tonight's posting contest ...

First Place: SteveFC was the clear winner pulling easily away from the field with a stunning 81 posts.

Second Place: Monica came in a distant second finishing at 43, despite having the early lead and being the favorite coming in.

Third Place: This one was a horse race with several contenders including Kathy, TarHeel, and a late push by hehateme, but it was Jhag ultimately across the finish line with 29.

Be sure to tune in for the main event today ... SteveFC, Monica, Kathy, TarHeel, Jhag, and hehateme vs. THE WHOLE BOARD.

Harrah's has the odds at even.

With a combined previous total of 218, which beat the board tonight by 29 posts, I think this is a lock. Now taking bets.

Huh? I must have gone bonkers in a short period of time. I had no HABOTN at work yesterday and spent most of the evening at HHKregg and Best Buy looking at TVs. But that's old news...

GOOD MORNING HOTTIES!!!! HAPPY SIGNING DAY!!! and a huge
WARRRRRRRRRRRRR EAGLE!!!

Josh Jackson? 2* DT committed to AU last night.

No offense to Mr. Jackson, but that's not the kind of surprise I was hoping for. I would really like to see some big names and/or OL heading our way. Does the fact he was offered indicate CGC already knows there won't be good surprises today?

In any event, I am glad to have someone who wants to be at AU and I hope JJ comes in and kicks some bama butt!

Good Morning, Hotties. Since I'm not really into recruiting and all the "stars", I just hope AU gets some guys that REALLY want to play at AUBURN and are willing to work hard and constantly strive to get better.

Well signing day is here and it's a lot like Christmas morning. You want some good presents and no lumps of coal. It looks like Phillips delivered us the first lump of coal. That one hurts since we need some OL help badly.

Hopefully the day gets better.

Jet- I'm disappointed that I did not have your morning wake up message on here as normal. Must be in stealth mode today.

Eddie, he must have left for the gym early today. Maybe he wanted to get there and get back so he didn't miss anything. LOL

Ah yes, the grand day is upon us. National signing day. The day were 18 year old ego filled kids get to play games with ball caps and put in mini-press conferences and play with the emotions of 30 year old men who want to see these kids go to their school, only to say the kid had no talent when they choose another school. What a grand day.

It means for a few months phrases like "life blood of the program" and "Jimmy's and Joe's" thankfully go away.

I hope we do well today, but I am glad it's over.

Morning Hotties - I've run my miles already, I'm having my coffee, I'm ready to read about some 'crutin. Problem with that is, I'm wrapped up in meetings most of the day. Crap. Well, I look forward to trying to catch up on breaks (if I get them).

Returning from stealth mode ... encouraging Dre to go to Texas ... as a favor to Boom.

I'm confused ... if Phillips does go to FSU, do we still get to whup Jhag's bro?

Sadly Chizik only offered me a grey shirt opportunity.

I will be choosing between Auburn and Hawaii at 9 a.m. CST ... Hawaii is making a late push as the weather in the Gump is ridiculous.

I was told ... "For Pete's sake, put a shirt on."

I did the hat ceremony...When I got ready to pull out the houndstooth hat, I said "hold on while I whip this out..." Women started fainting for some reason...

Jet- Wondering around without a shirt in this weather will allow people to take you to the alzheimers wing of the hospital.

7:33 AM

FSJ- It would have helped if you had taken off the white sheet with the two eye holes before you dawned the hat.

I'll start the live reporting around 9. See you then.

Some people just fax there letters of intent over without going through all the hype of a press conference or announcement. So there will be no specific time for many of them.
