WEDNESDAY MORNING
Post No. 1,033
Hey everyone. It's National Signing Day. You know what that means? It's ON.
THE LATEST
(11:30) DE Terrance Coleman, WR LaVoyd James and DL Nick Fairley -- all of Williamson High fame -- have signed with Auburn. That bumps the Tigers' 2009 class to 28 players.

Hey everyone. It's National Signing Day. You know what that means? It's ON.
THE LATEST
(11:30) DE Terrance Coleman, WR LaVoyd James and DL Nick Fairley -- all of Williamson High fame -- have signed with Auburn. That bumps the Tigers' 2009 class to 28 players.
OTHER THINGS OF INTEREST
- (11:18 a.m.) DT Jamar Travis of W.S. Neal High in (East) Brewton has signed with Auburn.
- (10:40 a.m.) LB Harris Gaston of Bessemer Academy has signed with Auburn. He'll emerge as an outside guy with power.
- (10:25 a.m.) ATH Robert Cooper of Daphne High has signed with Auburn. He is expected to "gray shirt" this season and join the team in January.
- (10:10 a.m.) TB Dontae Aycock and DB Taikwon Paige have signed with the Tigers.
- (9:55 a.m.) DE/DT Nosa Eguae of suburban Ft. Worth, Texas, has signed. Read about him here: Truth sets Texas DE free - to sign with Auburn
- (9:30 a.m.) WR Anthony Gulley of Brantley High has signed.
- (9:25 a.m.) WR DeAngelo Benton of Bastrop, La. (also of Hargrave Military Academy) has signed with the Tigers. I consider that a completely crazy development. He's supposed to be a big-time wideout, but he hasn't played organized ball since November 2007. Either way, this is a significant NSD coup.
- (9:15 a.m.) WR Emory Blake of Austin, Texas, has signed with Auburn. That is a major development because Blake was the most important "bubble" prospect on the Tigers' list.
With Blake and now DeAngelo Benton signing on with Auburn today, it's clear that offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn and his offense has captured the imagination of offensive prospects. - Here is your up-to-the-minute list of signees:
- LB Eltoro Freeman (already enrolled)
- TB Onterio McCalebb (already enrolled)
- TE Philip Lutzenkirchen
- LB Donald "Dee" Ford
- DB Daren Bates
- OL Andre Harris
- WR Travante Stallworth
- QB Clint Moseley
- DB Reggie Taylor
- RB Brandon Jacobs
- DB Izauea Lanier
- LB Jonathan Evans
- QB Tyrik Rollison
- OL John Sullen
- DT Josh Jackson (of Gainesville, Ga. -- new to the scene)
- WR Emory Blake
- DB Demond Washington
- WR Anthony Gulley
- WR DeAngelo Benton
- DE/DT Nosa Eguae
- DB Taikwon Paige
- TB Dontae Aycock
- ATH Robert Cooper
- LB Harris Gaston
- DT Jamar Travis
- DE Terrance Coleman
- WR LaVoyd James
- DT Nick Fairley
- LB Eltoro Freeman (already enrolled)

$teve: So was Ron Zook by those standards.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Silly - great idea! lol That guy is such a you-know-what.
Amen Comm'r ... lmao btw
Does benton qualify?
Will someone please appoint me HABOTN team physician so I can dish out unsolicited medical advice?
Loganville, we lost Heavens to MSU.
It's cool to be a loyal friend but to follow the guy over the edge, all the while proclaiming his greatness...well that's just bizarre.
TAR - You are HABOTN Team Physician for the day.
(Kathy, I bet there are lots of Queens on the Habotn that we don't even know about. Not that there's anything wrong with that).
Carry on. :-)
THT - you da man!! I will refer to you as Dr. HABOTN.
Where's Loganville?
hag - I don't remember where I read it, but I think Benton is going to clear just fine.
I definitely don't believe recruiting was responsible for what happened last year. It seems that we have fair weather fans that believe one bad season erases 10 years of success. I guess it is a matter of opinion. And as for loving Tuberville, I wouldn't say that. I just find that many have absolutely no clue about the quality of a coach.
Big Mike - Where are you these days?
Should today be a holiday?
I think we lose Oku now...
Zook definitely had Florida headed in the right direction, but he had no where near the success that Tuberville has had.
Today IS a holiday!! I've been on holiday since I got to work!
This day I'm in Norcross...was a toasty 19 when I arrived this morning.
Thanks hehateme and Mon.
Now, a few words of advice:
1. smoking causes cancer
2. HABOTN is awesome (and addictive)
I think Oku will sign, Thanks Mon for the info on Benton. I sure do hope your right. I am loooking forward to seeing him next year.
Benton article:
http://thenewsstar.com/article/20090203/UPDATES02/90203037
Jay G. at some point when all this craziness is over, could you put up your thoughts on the members' of this class chances to qualify? Or is there no way to know really?
We lost Heavens to MSU and I dont see Tyler Knight on the list
Brad Bradshaw likely to be awarded the prestigious Recruiting Tool of 2009Award. He's a darkhorse candidate, as the award typically goes to the college coaches recruting HS players, not HS coaches making idiotic comments on a nat'l stage for their own advancement.
My money's on BB.
I don't think we ever had Oku, although I think we were in the mix. I have to agree that if I were him, I don't think I would go to Auburn. We have signed enough RB talent.
Big Mike - Colder down there than in Baltimore.
Jhag - You can't lose what you never had....makes me get through the day.
Big Mike - Ouch that is chilly. I think it was 5 here. We got a few more inches of snow last night. I'm glad to be home today. BTW, I want a beenie like the one you have in your pic for my Greg.
I'm by far not a fair weather fan, but that's ok Steve.
I was calling for people to question Tub long before we went 5-7 last year.
Tuberville was a good coach. He did a good job. Not great, but good. He had his time 2004 and he didn't capitalize on it and we started a slow decline after that.
Big Mike - was a balmy 17 when I arrived here in Alpharetta, wind chill of 2!
Omnica - cold at your place?
SteveFC, c'mon don't start the fairweather fans stuff....
It's signing day. Let's focus on the future...
I've got Auburn at 24 or 25 signees (depending how you view Nick Fairley) ...
Should it be Dr. HABOTN or Dr. Hottie? I like both.
Tubs and staff is no match to Chiz and staff in recruiting. It is evident already by what has been done.
BigCat, I think Tyler Knight is heading to JUCO.
Big Mike I see you remember those "Where's Loganville?" commercials. LOL That's crazy
How long do we have to talk about Tubs? How long is the mourning period? I totally agree with Kristina. This is a day for looking forward.
Yep cold in Hotlanta today. I actually got that at Wally World, Omni....it was like $7
As all of you know, I don't believe in starting a freshman at QB, but other positions are a different story. I think Malzahn will now have the players to make his offense work. A little more depth on the offensive line would be great, but you have to think there will be a world of difference between last year's offense and this years.
My concern will be on defense. We have the talent to be great. From what I read, Roof isn't the level of DC we are accustomed to, but Chizik may be the best DC we have had since Wayne Hall, so things are looking up.
Kat I think Pilson is too but he's till on our list. Did they pull Knight's offer you think?
Way to help out Evan, Jay G. That's team work!
Auburn hasn't yet announced it, but the Mobile kids (Coleman-James-Fairley) have signed.
We are the world.
We are the children.
We are the ones who make a brighter day so let's start giving.
Well we're still talking about Pat Dye, and for some the mourning period is still going on. So it could last decades. Ask some people in Crimson how long mourning periods last.
$teve: Should we add Mike Shula, Ty Willingham, and Tommy Bowden to your list of coaches that were unappreciated and wrongfully tossed before their proper expiration date?
Down to 15 on rivals saying we have 31 commits...
Rick Riley needs to stop saying "posse" - what a goob.
I'm in Norcross Too BigMike - 14 when I left the house this morning.....
LT
Mon - I just erased my reply, for the betterment of humanity.
I think this staff is very comparable with regard to recruiting to what we had before. They were likely better until we lost Willis. The biggest difference is the difference between Knox and Trooper. Both were great recruiters, but hopefully Troop will be a much better receivers coach.
hag - I command you to stop watching the ranking of our recruiting class - it's absolutely irrelevant. What class are you in at this moment?
Can we burn mediocrity at Tubb's altar and move on? Name something in Atlanta after him? Anything?
I'm feeling a bit Chizzerific today! I'm at least Chizzed!
Greg King signed with TN.
Is there news on Oku or something? Why do some in here believe he is out?
Roof is no slouch SteveFC - had some great units with less talent during his tenure @ GT. I expect no drop off....
LT
You're a good man, Tar.
Yes Big Cat, they still use that "Where's Loganville" tagline in some commercials. Just as goofy now as it was 20 years ago. Thank Omnica those commercials aren't national.
Comm, I am not sure what Shula, Ty, or Bowden have to do with anything, but those aren't coaches I am interested in.
I could have sworn that T. Coleman was a 4* and now he is a 3*. Am I making this up?
Dr. HABOTN, i LIKE.
Carping about Tubs and previous staff, I don't like. Drop it. It's officially over.
Look forward ... not in the cracked rear view mirror.
Follow me ... we move on West Vance at dawn.
Dr. HABOTN - is there a cure for decades of mourning?
I like the recruiting rankings they have to mean SOMETHING. I asked for a pass to the library to get out of class ahah.
Was Roof the DC at GT when they handed our butts to us in 2003?
Jay G, what time is Chizik's press conference?
JGT - Are you offering Woodbury your connection? How sweet of you.
I HATE those commercials.....
LT
We are closing in on 500 posts for the day before 12. I predict something in the 2,000's today JAY G better start his new thread conspiracy soon!
Can we still talk about Tony Franklin (two words that were woefully absent from this post ... until now)????
If O'Leary was still there - yes he was...
LT
I think Heavens would be more of a mutual decision between him and AU to go in a different direction.
No Steve, that was Tenuta.
Time for lunch!
I bet Franklin ends up as a great coach for a big name school eventually, but only after he develops the people skills.
No need to talk about Franklin - Chiz and crew are the subject!!
Did y'all hear about Massie pretending he was about to don a Bama hat before announcing he was going to Ole Miss? I really like this guy.
Looks like Tyler Knight won't sign today. He'll head straight for JUCO.
Not sure what to expect from Jamontay Pilson. He's headed to junior college, but I can't get a strong feel for his plans today.
Mon,
I totally agree about Rick Riley...
Sounds like a dweb when he says it!
We've learned from history, but we ain't gonna talk about it all day.
Bell rang. History class is over. This is Current Events. If you're not in this class, then get out!
Izzle, Izzle, War Damn Chizzle!
I admit i get worked up over recruiting, but like i said a few weeks ago, go pull last years Athlon or Lindys and see how many of those guys played. Recruiting is tough because its a fact 25 recruits dwindle down to 10 after four years. They fall by the way side of injuries, transfers, grades, quiting or whatever else. It will be interesting out of this class to see in four years who sticks around and is remembered.
Franklin To Middle Tennessee State
:) There is our Franklin update.
jhag: Get real.
Pretty darn good day. I like nice surprises.
Thanks Jay G for clarifying Tyler Knight for us.
It was a sick Joke i knew nobody would take it seriously! I was real on Aubrey Phillips. Great Work today JAY G..it will all be over in a few long hours!
Steve,
Franklin will never, never, never make it.
Repeat,never...
Franklin will end up heading the deli section at your local Winn Dixie, but he wont be a head coach.
There's our jester Kathy....
Mchiela, good day indeed
Where are the fronkin' OL??? Becomes priority #1 next year.
Unbelievable on the Benton kid. Dude's coach oughta be beaten with a sack of hammers, though.
Thanks for the back up, Mobile. ;-)
Jamar Travis is in.
Omnica delivers the Brewton connection.
I'm off to lunch at the cafeteria yummy...I better be wetting myself again when I check back in!
Monica, I now have "We are the World" stuck in my head...thanks.
Actually, Kristiniih, I am Queen in Waiting.
hehateme-
For "mourning sickness", take a multivitamin at time of conception, then Vit B6 and doxylamine should be helpful to treat symptoms. If that doesn't work, try kicking some bama @$$
Franklin is much better than some think. He will be successful. He just didn't fit in with this staff. I do think he has a lot of growing up to do.
ESPN's team rankings are kind of weird. They don't have us in the top 25. They have Bama at 8th. Their team rankings seem totally different that scout or rivals.
PatDye: Are you serious about Franklin working at the deli??!! If so, the local health dept. should be notified. Just sayin'
B. Moore to Bammer.
I'm tellin' ya ... Monica's good for OCTUPLETS before the day is done ... and she wasn't even showing before hand.
Amazing.
Next on TLC -- Omnica Plus 8: Preseason Practice
Ole miss has 34 commits with nobody listed as enrolled... they might be trying to start their own JUCO team
It is amazing when you compare the rankings of ESPN, Scout, and Rivals. Comparing the lists should tell you how inexact this recruiting process is.
Interesting tidbit, Manti Te'o, a Mormon, is going to a Catholic school, Notre Dame. If he decides to do his mission at 19, he will only play one year, then leave for 2 years.
Imangine that, no respect for AU from ESPN.
Moore would have been a nice surprise.... Damn It...
Ron- maybe they are taking the "minor sport" approach and just giving out partial schollys
Dr. HABOTN - thanks for the mourning medicine needed by some of the Hotties......
I think the last piece of information should be the first piece of information!
Moore was a very long shot for Auburn. He got no love from Auburn until recently.
Unlike HABOTN, it's been a really slow day here at work thanks to the snow in Southern Pines, but I must take a break now to bestow medical advice on non-hotties. I was hoping for Moore but no such luck.
I'll catch up with y'all tonight. In the meantime, take two aspirins and call me Dr Hottie.
Scout is by far the most accurate (at least Jan Terri tells me so).
Although I must question their method of putting Florida at 14 with 7 Top 100 recruits when the only team with more than that is USC with 8.
Still waiting on official papers from the Mobile kids ...
We need one more delivery from Chiz and crew - who will it be?
Hearing positive Oku chatter.
HA oops Sorry, Kristina!
mourning sickness - that was funny
Jet - I'm working on that 3rd one. He's playing hard to get.
hehateme- the latter part has not been officially approved by ACOG, therefore I could not ethically list it first no matter how strongly I feel about its curative abilities.
good day for the auburn tigers. Now it's time to see if the Chiz can coach em up. war eagle!
Mobilz - what is the delay with your guys? Send the papers.
Get the papers. Get the papers.
So that's everyone on our list except Fairley. Do you think we have any more surprises?
Here's hoping we test Oku-positive
ACOG is run by bammer morons.
This comment has been removed by the author.
Oku will elicit a reaction from Hag that will get him expelled. That would be fun.
The Mobile kids are official.
Nothing expected from Pilson.
That probably concludes the influx of signees.
Let the fuss begin!
Jet D as Johnny Two-Time.
When did Oku say he was gonna announce?
Nice catch, Jay.
I will, Doc.
Pilson is now off of the list. We have 28 commited. That leaves plenty of room for a few more suprises. Is K. Kelly still on the boards?
28 LOI's in hand. not a bad morning's work. think i'm headed to Hooters for lunch to re-energize myself. :)
Regardless of what ESPN, Rivals, or Scout says, it is clear this class is turning out much better than I had hoped. I am very excited to see what Malzahn does with our offense. We already have the talent to be successful offensively. This class could add some difference makers.
OKU ... I'd expect to hear something within two weeks. Allegedly.
Eddie, that's all on the front page of this blog. Come on.
Michael,
That's the problem with all recruiting services. They rank teams based on total points. So a team like Auburn ranks 10 in total points (3390 points, 28 commits) but Florida ranks 14 in total points (3296 points, 17 commits). Even though their average player is about a star higher in the rankings.
Fairley is a huge get ... Willis apparently had been instructed to get him away from us ... Muschamp has told folks that Fairley is the real deal out of this group, from what I've been told.
Oku would be the cherry, but all in all, this is very impressive class for the Chiz and Delta Force Z.
So we pretty much Enrique Davis'd LSU with the Benton kid??? LOVE IT!!!
When was the last time Au landed dual 4-5 star WR's in the same class???
Things are def looking up at this point for the offensive side of the ball, of course we have to wait and see if these guys pan out or not first. Atleast we have that option now though! WDE!!!
Don't be too hard on Eduardo, Jay G. ... we're on the thread hitting F5 or clicking refresh like we're playing "Wack-A-Mole."
FWIW: Source: Oku likely to sign with Auburn
my headache must be worse than I thought - I don't even see Eddie in this thread
Sorry Jay. Honestly not looking at the front.
I was deleted :(.
I'm not mad at Edward ... that was an obscenely long comment post and duplicate what we already have on the front page.
OK, that didn't work.
Let's take Eddie back and beat the crap out of him.
Just kidding.
alrighty then
so realistically the last word we're waiting on is Oku?
Oh, snap.
I have a board meeting to attend. Be back later.
Refresh on this keyboard is fried from today!!!
That happens when you actually try to do some work and follow along. I've been too quiet for too long. Now that recruiting is about done, maybe some good talk about spring practice can begin.
I just learned that I can het F5. Thanks Jet!! Today is truly a wonderful day!!
WAR EAGLE!!
het=hit
Now if I can learn to edit my post I would be King of the World!
F5 only works if you still have that key left on your keyboard :).
I am excited about spring practice too, although you never can really tell how good a team will be from spring practice. The most interesting thing will be the position rankings, particularly at QB and WR.
I use open command + r myself.
Can we get a HABOTN gathering at Spring Game?
Most of these kids won't be there in the spring.
Will have to wait till the fall to see them.
LT
yeah, a board meeting right about now sounds good to me too
later
Me too Jay G. F5 turns on the voice over.
Jones picked Arkansas.
Hey Jay G & Kathy - just cause the new guy running AAPL is from Auburn doesn't mean you have to go all "open command" on us!
Lowcounty, once you go Mac, you won't go back!
I figured Jones was gone when we took Josh Johnson
Kathy, I've heard that, but I just can't bring myself to cross over. Well, except for my iPod.
Open Command+R for me too...love my macbook!
I have a Star Trek computer, so all I say is "Computer: Refresh!" and it does it for me.
Jay, thanks for the excellent recruiting coverage. As usual, if you read it in a HABOTN blog, it is true.
This was a turrible day to be busy at work. Congrats and thanks coaches for a job well done.
The 2 WRs are huge. Now if we can just trade a short WR and an Athl for 2 OL, life would be perfect.
Kathy,
I need a gov't bailout for a Mac.
Jay I just reviewed your "issues" list and noticed that Kendall Kelly was not on there. I guess that means my pining is in vain, huh?
LOL @ Hoopie.
I like the trade idea.
i think we get oku....randle would be nice but not happening..maybe kelly suprise..doubt it, we are probably finished
Hoopie, you are right on. I think we have good talent at OL for Gus' offense, but it sure would be nice to fill the stable a little.
I wouldn't be surprised if we see a couple of lower ranked commits later in the day. There are often recruits that are conditional, meaning if someone else don't sign, they get offers.
So Jay G, we got Blake, Benton, and Aycock on the your "Issue Two" list. Maybe Oku later. Not too shabby.
Dre on ESPNU coming up.
A Kelly suprise and Oku would send this class through the roof! I'd start making my plans for the SECCG.
Kathy, I think this is a strong class ... and likely an upgrade over where it was headed prior to Dec. 1.
That video of Lutzen... throwing the ball back in bounds is incredible.
Jay G, great article regarding Nosa on the front page. Thanks! I really like that kid.
Steve, that was a great highlight. Lutz will be great in Gus' offense.
Do I dare even mention B. Brown? When is he expected to sign?
Will, I think Brown is in a couple of weeks.
dont' sweat it Edward...i got deleted just the other day. jgt still loves us...i think
Has bama asked KK to greyshirt??
If KK signs with Auburn, and that's a big IF, that will be Bama's story!
is the "big surprise" rumor still alive? if so, any ideas?
If Dre Kirkpatrick signs anywhere but Alabama I'll........
Harrison, small chance for another surprise, but if it happens, you need to take cover!
IMHO we already have great skill. I'd like the "surprise" to be a big ugly.
Harrison there's a chance Kendall Kelly goes somewhere other than Alabama.
Binoba, I saw the same thing on the JustinTV chat...I doubt that to be true...
Seanz:
I was told by a GCHS coach that KK had a no strings attached offer from Alabama.....
Whether that is true or not, I don't know.
Word is KK has a sports hernia and has been asked to greyshirt at bama.
Faker, I am 98 percent sure he signs with your squad.
I'm stoked thus far, all else is gravy at this point. Great job on surpassing our expectations on the recruiting class CGC !!
SeanZ:
We need him, IMO.
you gotta hate that "athletic pubalgia"
ok, i'm back to work now :-(
BinOBA:
I agree...Chizik and his staff have done a great job in a small amount of time on the recruiting trail.
I don't care what anybody says, Tubs was headed toward a 20-22 ranked class. The only reason it was ranked so high to begin with is because y'all had so many early commitments.
I expect Chizik and company to end up around 15...Good job.
Haven't been through all the posts- -is it accurate that Bryce Brown signed with Miami?
This has been a satisfying day for me. I think Chizik did a fantastic job considering the time restraints he had and all of the controversy surrounding his hire. Hopefully he can prove to be a good hire on the field as well.
I've seen no news of Brown signing anywhere. All reports point to him not signing anywhere today.
its not who get to comm early.. its who you keep on the last day.
At the end of the day we will have our team.... and I believe
...
Way to go CGC.. now start figuring out how you keep all of your asst. coaches next year...
