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.
boom
ReplyDeleteWord.
ReplyDeleteBlatant repost from previous thread.
ReplyDeleteWell, a great philosopher once said "I get paid for doing this"!!! Okay, maybe not a great philosopher, but it was a famous guy. Okay, I admit it, it was Steve Martin, but it is still valid.
Ron and Phred hatin on Taikwon. He does have a cool name.
ReplyDeletemove the convo over here.
ReplyDeletei couldnt stay away.
ReplyDeleteJay G., you going to have one thread that you revise tomorrow, or are you going to create a new thread for every signed letter? Just need to know if I need to take my Antivert in the morning for the dizziness.
ReplyDeleteTaikwon Paige was not heavily recruited because nobody could remember how to spell his first name. Is that Chinese or Japanese?
ReplyDeleteI am not hatin' on Taikwon. I like him. Ron is hatin' on Taikwon.
ReplyDeleteKathy, I think I'm going to create one thread for confirmed signings.
ReplyDeleteI'll have another entry for Chizik's comments. I'm aiming to live blog that. I think it begins at 2 p.m. CST.
Sorry Phred, when you started taking away his stars, I thought you didn't think he deserve them. Glad you like TP!
ReplyDeleteI love how everyone thinks they can assess how good a high school football player is better than both the coaching staff and Rivals. If player gets 4 stars from rivals or scout, and our coaching staff believes he can play. I'm going to believe he can play ball until I see otherwise on Auburns football team. Both of those sources have seen alot of tape, and talked to alot of coaches and such. Lets trust them.
ReplyDeleteJay G, what time are you heading over to Auburn tomorrow?
ReplyDeleteI WAS giving grief to Mon to which she replied "you're a meanie." But I WAS NOT hatin' me some Taikwon.
ReplyDeleteSteveFC,
ReplyDeleteI like the wacky fonts. Reminds me of the artist formerly known as Prince. Is that where you are headed with this?
In my opinion,
nothing compares 2 u
Taikwon Paige should end up being good. As I understand it, he is the number one player in the nation coming out of highschool that is named Taikwon.
ReplyDeleteAlso, I hear he is Sachel Paige's grandson. Oh wait, I didn't hear that, I made it up, but it sounds like a great rumor.
Wakerider, watch how fast Rivals starts removing stars from Taikwon now that he has committed to Auburn.
ReplyDeleteI have big goals for revolutionizing chat with creative nicknames. I also hope it will also fix the economy and cure cancer. Yes, I have big goals, but from what I understand, it is the road to success.
ReplyDeleteI did not say "you're a meanie" I said you are too mean to talk to, anymore.
ReplyDeleteDid Dansby actually call Fbaum today? If so was it late in the show? I want to hear it.
no fear everyone.. bear is in the hizzle. crutin crutin crutin. jay, i deem you need 2 weeks paid vacation after all this. haven't posted in a while, but i have tried to read as much as i could. great, great journalism, jay
ReplyDeleteI'd like to hear the Dansby call as well! I like Karlos even more now for handing it to Slimebaum.
ReplyDeleteThese rivals guys ain't too bright. Check out the latest news on Auburn. I wonder who that could be about?
ReplyDeleteDon't get me wrong, I'm by no means a star hound. I don't get ridiculously excited when we get a 4 or 5 star, and I dont' assume the world is ending when we sign a 2 star. But since I don't have the time to attend the games of all of our recruits, I tend to trust that if our staff wants them, and the recruiting services are high on them, they have a real shot at being successful on the plains.
ReplyDeleteFinebaum has recordings of his show available on the net somewhere. I saw it once. I would have listened, but I had something better to do, like an elective root canal or something.
ReplyDeleteDansby called the roundtable with ian and lance. you can go to their website and listen to it mon, it was pretty good.
ReplyDeleteroundtableradio.com
I feel the same way Steve. No Finebaum for me. Haven't listened in years, but I did read where Dansby set him straight today. Good for Karlos.
ReplyDeleteI often say stars don't matter. Now, if we signed only one and two star players, I would say it matters, but it general, I am not overly concerned. You often here of players suddenly becoming hot commodities. Did they suddenly get better? No. I suspect someone just suddenly wised up.
ReplyDeleteI'll probably get over there around 9 a.m. I'm working late tonight and, really, I need to get a little sleep before this marathon.
ReplyDeleteThe good news for YOU ALL is that I'll be on WMSP for two hours on Thursday and Friday breakin' all this down.
Thanks Barkley.
ReplyDeleteJay, don't forget to ask Chizik about how big of an idiot a coach would be to lose one of the better kickers in the SEC over a scholarship. Well, okay, maybe you could paraphrase it a bit.
ReplyDeleteOh well, I can't find the recording of it. If any of you find a link to the actual clip share it with us please.
ReplyDeleteWhere can i find the Karlos, Paul Finebaum story at?
ReplyDeleteJay GT- I hate I won't be able to listen on Thursday, but I'll sure hope to be tuned in on Friday. Intelligent radio is so hard to find.
ReplyDeleteClinton Durst is back on team. No info on scholly status. Is this old news?
ReplyDeleteGood interview with Bo:
ReplyDeleteBo Jackson
lol @ Lemming saying AJ McCarron is another John Parker Wilson. I'm sure the mullet nation is thrilled to hear that.
ReplyDeletebowden - I'm looking for it too
ReplyDeleteMon-i think you have to wait until Wednesday to get today's audio. You might try this site:
ReplyDeletehttp://www.finebaum.com/audio_current.html
Sorry,I haven't learned to post a direct link yet.
I gave you the address monnie, go to the bottom left of that website and it says "what's hot from the roundtable" and you see dansby's name. just click and listen.
ReplyDeleteMonica, try this:
ReplyDeleteGo to roundtableradio.com and look for the area listed "What's Hot From The Roundtable" then click on Arizona Cardinal Karlos Dansby.
From up this way....
ReplyDeleteDre= Bama
KK= Clemson or AU, IMO
it wasn't on finebaum's show, finebaum was a guest on lance and ian's show.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the link, Barkley!
ReplyDeletewhat up everyone
ReplyDeleteI wish Dre would go play for Muschamp.
ReplyDeleteMon this is what Dansby said:
ReplyDelete- he could have said Auburn, or Woodlawn High when he was introduced
- chose to say Woodlawn to inspire the kids from where he's from
- said he has nothing but love for Auburn
- said if it wasn't for Woodlawn, he wouldn't have gotten to AU in the first place
- said he wanted to "give back" to the community where he's from
- said in future opportunities, he will alternate between saying Auburn and Woodlawn
wtc, to post that as a link, all you got to do is this.
ReplyDelete<a href="http://www.finebaum.com/audio_current.html">link</a>
Has anybody read where Cotton is going to land?
ReplyDeleteAlso I read where Coleman will sign in the am tomorrow so I am assuming Uncle AC told him to settle down.
Tubs coming on WQAM (Miami) next.
ReplyDeleteTubs coming on WQAM (Miami) next.
ReplyDeleteIn short, type <a hef="">link name</a> and stick the URL in the quotes.
ReplyDeleteThanks Steve
ReplyDeleteMon-Is that a compliment for AJ or a dig?
ReplyDeleteKathy-
ReplyDeleteThanks for the Bo interview link. That was great!
The naked lady threw me off, but I finally found it and it was a pleasure hearing Fbaum sound so ill at ease.
ReplyDeleteSo has Aubie joined FB or not?
ReplyDeleteUmmm, did someone say naked lady?
ReplyDeleteThe naked lady got me off for a minute too Mon.
ReplyDeleteWell, I guess I must come out with my official position on naked ladies. I am for it.
ReplyDeletewtc - Lemming was just stating it as a fact. Fbaum meant it as a dig at JPW.
ReplyDeleteThanks hotties for the group effort at getting me to the Dansby interview. I really like him.
Half naked lady really. There are some rather interesting photos on the roundtable site.
ReplyDeleteI still haven't heard Tubs on that Miami station. Did I miss him?
ReplyDeleteHey GA you were diggin my music, huh?
ReplyDeleteBarkley - ya perv - I take it this means you haven't found a new girlfriend.
Steve - that's a real shocker
THT, liked that he said coaching change was a great hire!
ReplyDeleteAnyone think that UA or UGA will end up with Bobby Knightmare as coach?
ReplyDeleteI hate that Roundtable. I hate what a bunch of freakin hypocrites they are staring King Hypocrite Mr. Sara Evans.
ReplyDeletebarkley. they said next, but meant coming up in 3 segments...still hasn't come on yet.
ReplyDeleteHAHA You are correct, Mon.
ReplyDeleteGood Morning Hotties!!! Just thought I'd get that out of the way so tomorrow I can go right into 'cruit talkin. :)
ReplyDeleteHere is my Toomer's lemon-aide inducted assessment of all of our goings on:
Last year was an anomoly! Throw it out of the books. Our OL didnt really forget how to play football. Our roster of OL is full of incoming SOs and JRs. If we dont get another OL commit in this class it will be fine and we will have our pick of who we want next year since bama is taking 6-7 this year.
Our DBs were mostly young but many got PT. Taikwon should provide some immediate veteran leadership and help.
Our LB corp should be fine with the incoming help and some coaching up.
WRs are serviceable. Malzahn's system should make them seem great next year.
We got a ton of RBs. That should be an interesting development. A good problem to have. lol Just trying to keep the Franklin reference streak alive
DL gets some good young talent and some veteran help with Fairley. If we stay away from the injury bug, we should be fine here.
QBs should be fine depending on how they respond to coaching. We are set for the next 3 years with or without Tyrik.
All in all, this recruiting class is just gravy. We already have the meat and potatos! How's that for homerism?
KY lost their 3rd straight to Miss State
ReplyDeletethey are fake; I don't give a hoot about fake, except for our good friend FSJ.
ReplyDeleteBigCat, where have you been all night? I needed your optimism!
ReplyDelete"WRs are serviceable" lol I like it, BigCat.
ReplyDeleteI loved the Bo interview also
ReplyDelete"I just let Charles be Charles"
I want to be a WR.
ReplyDeleteWhat else can you do with Charles?
ReplyDeleteJay with all these RB commitments and possible commits (Aycock.Oku). Do you think current staff thinks all our RB's suck.
ReplyDeleteY'all are missing the Caribbean World Series: Mexico vs Venezuela
ReplyDeleteI like the Paige pick up, he was big-time coming out of high school and is still a player. Could take Powers spot right off the bat.
ReplyDeleteJeremy = perv
ReplyDeleteWatching Independence Day Monica, waiting on Leverage.
ReplyDeleteHas Emmitt Smith announced his decision yet?
ReplyDeletehow many of you saw the half naked girl with the auburn stuff on. on the roundtableradio
ReplyDeleteGood stuff Big Cat.
ReplyDeletethe half naked pics offended me..
ReplyDeleteKathy - what is leverage?
ReplyDeleteAUBigCat, we have the makings for a decent team next season. The problem is, the rest of the west, other than Mississippi State, have the makings of decent teams. This next season will likely be the most competitive the SEC West has ever been. I expect LSU to be improved. I suspect Arkansas will be the most improved. Ole Miss will be tough and legit candidates to win the west. Bama should be pretty solid, although I don't think they will be the clear leader. It is going to be interesting.
ReplyDeleteJet all RB's will commit to AU.
ReplyDeleteYes, he wants to sit on the other side of Hannah Storm next season, Jet.
ReplyDeletecleverage without the c?
ReplyDeleteWill Aaron Savage be rehabbed from the knee surgery? If so, we are good at CB.
ReplyDeleteSteve where is that funky key to make registered symbol?
ReplyDeleteFocus, Steve.
ReplyDeleteSteve I think Ole Miss will be favored to win west next year. I forget who was favored this year.
ReplyDeleteHello Hotties!! Had the Free Grand Slam @ dennys today....felt like there was a brick in my belly all day! i have been glued to wnsp (mobile) all day....bunch of bama homers. give me a couple to catch up.
ReplyDeleteMy guess is the weak spot on defense may end up being the linebackers. I like our secondary, and the line should be pretty solid.
ReplyDeleteSlim,
ReplyDeleteWere they crowded?
I bet there was a line out the door..
To make a ® just type ® and add a semi-colon.
ReplyDeleteFake Cleaverage = Store Boughts
ReplyDeleteJay G,
ReplyDeleteYou know this andy bitter over in columbus, I will say he does a good job. I told him that this will always be stop one, but he is moving into number two quickly.

ReplyDeleteStore Boughts ®
ReplyDeleteSteve I don't know what that first symbol is, shugah.
ReplyDeletethat's a colon
ReplyDeleteAre Habotn tshirts going to be available ever again?
ReplyDeleteMonica, Leverage is on TNT starring Timothy Hutton. Comes on Tuesday nights at 9:00 CT.
ReplyDeleteModern Day Robin Hoods
RBs = Onterio McCalebb and Brandon Jacobs
ReplyDelete+/-Aycock, +/-Oku
Is Demond Washington set at corner? Or does he want to be at RB also?
How about now Aubie?
ReplyDeleteMonica, the first symbols is shift 7.
ReplyDeleteKat it was a looong day at the office! lol
ReplyDeleteSteve I agree with your assessment of the west. I am still worried about MSU. This class they are bring in is nice and fast! The West will come down to who has the best coaching. AU and MSU are the two question marks.
Mon...It is the "and" symbol..or "shift-7"
ReplyDeleteLOL
ReplyDeletey'all are making me feel very blonde!!!!!!
the letter that looks like a G - what is IT??????????????
Fsj- Yeah real busy...first time I ever waited for a table. Fifteen minutes. Got my Slam for Slim quick though. Gotta hear Dansby rip Fartbaum a new one.
ReplyDeleteMato those shirts are sacred. Im telling you, once you have one your in.
ReplyDeleteSo that means Frank Gore and Willis McGahee are coming too?
ReplyDeleteUmmm, it is what is technically referred to as a lower case G.
ReplyDeleteAtlantatiger...Andy Bitter is a pretty good blogger. He's not as prolific as JGT yet but he if he keeps it up, he'll have his own following soon.
ReplyDeletehmmmmm....I'll have to check out cleverage, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteMate - Scottie has some L, XL and 2XL's left I do believe
Aubrey Phillips to FSU. Goddaangit.
ReplyDeleteMMBSAL&:
ReplyDeleteMMBSAL&;
ReplyDeleteIm saying we do have a suprise to tomorrow. Im just not sure who it is. I think Tana P is not a lost cause. On the running backs I think we land Oku. I really think he had a nice time in Auburn and that kid with Orange hair and the Auburn Bball game last saturday made a hell of a impression.
ReplyDeletePLEASE GET ME SOME OL!!!
ReplyDeleteampersand. seriously? someone has hacked monicas account. I refuse to believe she doesn't know what an ampersand is.
ReplyDeleteMonica, the first character is called an ampersand. Then it is just "reg" as in registered trademark, followed by a semi-colon, which is the result of a comma getting it on with a colon.
ReplyDeleteBig Cat/Steve....Sometimes a team lacks chemistry for unexplanable reasons. Well...Franklin may have been one reason. I agree that our OL presently on campus are better than what we saw this past season.
ReplyDeleteNow if we can just finally coach up the WRs. If not, hopefully CGM's playbook can get even our WRs open deep.

ReplyDeletePRAISE THE LOWERED!
ReplyDeleteAlmost, you just need a semi-colon ";" instead of a colon ":".
ReplyDeleteMon- you make me laugh!!! Brilliant minds occasionally have hiccoughs
ReplyDeleteOmnica, you is healed!!!
ReplyDeleteHow is FSU pulling this off?
ReplyDeleteGreg Reid, Aubrey Phillips...damn damn..
BREAKING NEWS:
Aubrey announced at olive branch high school bball game at halftime
Phillips to FSU really?
ReplyDeleteThis stuff is very easy once you know how to do it. If you don't, it seems impossible.
ReplyDeleteLMAO SNORT! man! that was frustrating! Thank you for your patience, Steve.
ReplyDeletejhag-
ReplyDeleteit's $$$$$$$$$$$$ (that's 3 keys down from the "shift 7", aka ampersand)
Tar - Greg just said, "____ is having ice cream again"
ReplyDeleteHow are we supposed to get excited about tomorrow if these prospects keep signing with other schools tonight?????
ReplyDeleteThere you go Ron, Phillips said "No".
ReplyDeleteValkyrie!
ReplyDeletehag I take it you're shocked
ReplyDeleteAnother way to do this is just to copy and paste the html name or html number columns from this table.
ReplyDeleteYep, Monica, we're talking a HUGE bowl to make up for last night's ice cream drought.
ReplyDeleteDon't worry, kids.
ReplyDeleteTracy Rocker is going to sign with us tomorrow.
Yes, Valkyrie!
ReplyDeleteOur O-line class is screwed
ReplyDeleteWho was the school who had 9 decommits? Cuse? Anyway, Lemming advocates a Sept 1 sign date and letting players out of their LOI only if the head coach leaves.
ReplyDeleteYou are welcome Monica.
ReplyDeleteoooo thanks for the cool table, Steve
ReplyDeleteDeja Vu
ReplyDeleteNot getting Phillips is a huge blow. Two years in a row to sign a true OT. That will catch up with us.
jhag, I am not overly concerned with the offensive line. Defensive guys will move over if need be.
ReplyDeleteI am...Aubrey Phillips visits Auburn, says hes gonna suprise people after that...damn kids
ReplyDeleteSteve i think we are set on the d-line...it's the o-line we need in most peoples eyes, peoples let me know if im wrong
ReplyDeleteWell.....that's it for OL.
ReplyDeleteTHINK WRs.......just like when the plane has landed in Colorado and realize that there is no snow and it is time to THINK SNOW
ahhhh, is he the one that told us to expect a shocker??
ReplyDeleteunfortunately i meant two years in a row NOT to sign a true OT
ReplyDeletelol @ damn kids - now that's funny, Mr Hag
ReplyDeleteWell looks like this class hasnt turned out quite yet. Why??? Dont these kids understand they come to auburn they play quickly. Rueban Randle will not sign tomorow either. Deangelo Benton committed AGAIN...so RR is pissed.
ReplyDeleteI am going to be away from computer tomorrow. Is there any way I can get updates on commitments sent to my cell phone by one of the recruiting sites. Or Twitter .
ReplyDeleteLMAO Barkely
ReplyDeleteIf you guys are taking orders, no shockers for me tomorrow!
ReplyDelete44 - Jay twitter's some, but I'm not sure how much. I'll send you updates if you want me to.
ReplyDeleteToo late, Will. Your order has been placed.
ReplyDeleteWell, what you say we get Durst to put on 150 more pounds and see how he does playing on the line?
ReplyDeleteWe always get out hopes up to to high fellow tigers.
ReplyDeleteDang...just a few mins too late. How much do I owe? What's the going rate on shockers?
ReplyDeleteB.Matthews talked to Bates who talked to Phillips. Said he did not commit at halftime. Bates didn't know who Phillips would sign with.
ReplyDeleteWhat about KeKe Carrier? She could fill in on O-line.
ReplyDeleteThanks Monica I don't want to trouble you. I will trouble one of my peeps I don't like so well. But thanks anyway.
ReplyDeleteLook, people! Get hold of yourselves! Take deep, soothing breaths and Let It Be
ReplyDeletejhag where are you getting your info from?
ReplyDeletePhred, that sounds like sound first, I mean fourth or fifth hand reporting:)
ReplyDeleteWe are Ok with OL this coming and next season, then the cupboard is bare. We needed more OL recuits this session.
ReplyDeleteTHERE IS HOPE! my source that goes to FSU told me this...my sincere appologies if I am wrong but i think it's true.
ReplyDeleteStill hope Phred. We need an OT.
ReplyDeleteNo problem, 44.
ReplyDeleteSteve - it's what B. Matthews typed with his fingers on the bunker.
ReplyDeleteMon- better than a deep breath is the hot Ghiardelli chocolate sauce on my ice cream.
ReplyDeleteNight hotties ya'll have fun tomorrow. May we get everyone we need.
ReplyDeleteThis my buddy said this stuff is making me too nervous. I'm just ready for tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteHoopie,
ReplyDeleteWho plays RT next season?
TarHeel ... may I suggest a batch of Ghiardelli brownies to accompany your ice cream and syrup?
ReplyDeleteTar - for my desert i had organic ricotta cheese, organic blueberries, organic honey and raw pecans!
ReplyDeleteA few recruits one way or the other won't make a huge impact. We will be fine regardless. I expect to see a significantly improved Auburn team next season, regardless. The only concern is that I also see our level of competition increasing.
ReplyDeleteLet's sign Bo to play RT. He hasn't used up any of his OL eligibility. He's just about got the weight up to speed.
ReplyDeleteOf course, on sweep rights, he'll be heading left
ReplyDeleteWe better sign a huge OL class next year.... and that's all I gots to say about that.
ReplyDeleteOh... and LB's too...
Tar thats good
ReplyDeletewe were 5-7 people 5-7..and ranked 13th by scout...all new coaches...damn good work.
ReplyDeleteMonica ... what happened?
ReplyDeleteYou taping another episode of Survivorwoman with that diet?
"A few recruits one way or the other won't make a huge impact."
ReplyDeleteJulio Jones disagrees.
we have five ol spots this year and two for next year.
ReplyDeleteRon ... Julio was not a recruit; he was an acquisition.
ReplyDeleteMiller that is how the ol staff did it five one year and two the next no matter what
ReplyDeleteron mexico, you took the words right off of my keyboard.
ReplyDeletetim tebow also might disagree a
