Signing Day (early)

Hey everyone. I'm headed up to Auburn shortly and will get into the flow around 9 a.m.

I realize that some players (notably Dee Ford and Philip Lutzenkirchen) already have forwarded their paperwork to Auburn. Despite Fox News' reports to the contrary, the HABOTN is not in all places at all times.

See you in a bit.

Lookslike MOseley and Stallworth are in; 8:02 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I told y'all Jhag was right. He put it on HABOTN; that made it truth.

BTW, good morning to all HOTTIES from CHILLY and snowy Southern Pines.; 8:03 AM

JgobravesHAG said...: Only if anyone in this world trusted me. Just kidding... War Eagle, Phillips is a huge blow considering David Oku is probaly waiting to see who gets the big lineman...; 8:06 AM
Quitstina said...: And this just in...Scarbinsky is a moron. Thank you. That is all.; 8:06 AM
AUMom said...: Scarbinsky is just another reason I am happy to NOT live in the state of Alabama.

However, when we write out the tuition check for AUSon... not so much.; 8:07 AM
Kathy said...: Happy Recuiting Day to all! Let's get this show started.; 8:07 AM
Kathy said...: "Recruiting"; 8:07 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Jonathan Atchison to sign with tide...; 8:08 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: It feels nice having Philip Lutzenkirchen all signed, sealed, delivered...he messed with my heart for awhile with facebook status like "Go Gators" this kid has stuck it at with Auburn through all the hard times.; 8:12 AM
AUMom said...: Does there seem like larger than usual number of committed recruits are changing their minds and going elsewhere this year?; 8:12 AM
Anonymous said...: This was written in response to Scarbinsky's article:

"The only times that Auburn has been able to compete with Alabama for in-state talent are those times when both the Bama coaching staff was in turmoil and Auburn was on a high. In 2005 and 2006, the Bama fans only wanted one thing.....Shula gone. That environment caused a downturn in Bama's attraction and Auburn was able to somewhat compete, but it was not the blowout that dominating Bama for years and going undefeated in 2004 should have brought.

The truth is, Auburn will never be able to compete with Bama for in-state recruits. For one thing, the Alabama media will not allow it. When it gets truly competetive, the Alabama media will bash Auburn and poison the well to what ever extent is required to ensure Bama brings home the stars.

I don't know if Chizik and his staff know how to win football games. Only time will tell. But they do know that their bread won't be buttered in the state of Alabama. Going after out of state talent is the smartest thing the could do. Bama's media machine and their money will never allow Auburn to compete here. No matter. There is more talent in Texas, Georgia, and Florida than the state of Alabama will ever see."

I can't tell who this person is a fan of, but this type of attitude just infuriates me. There is no reason that Auburn can't compete in Alabama - unless someone is cheating. Sorry this is so long.; 8:13 AM
AUMom said...: And this article was not the epitome of Auburn bashing?; 8:14 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: jhag- not to worry about Lutz; back in December I was screaming GO GATORS at the top of my lungs. Lutz obviously knows how to be an Auburn fan!!!; 8:14 AM
Anonymous said...: I can't stand Scarbinsky. Just like I can't stand Finebaum.; 8:15 AM
Anonymous said...: TarHeel, good point!; 8:16 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: SEC Rankings the best of.. per ESPN
Best recruiter- Nick Saban, Alabama

Best closer- Rodney Garner,Georgia

Best facilities- LSU

Best stadium- Tennessee
(Neyland Stadium)

Best game-day atmosphere- LSU

Best chance to play as freshman- Arkansas

Best uniforms- Georgia

Best academics- Vanderbilt

Best campus life- Ole Miss

Most tradition- Alabama

Most likely to get players to NFL- Georgia

Most exposure- Florida; 8:17 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Unfortunately I think there is a lot of truth in Scarbinsky's writing.

Yes, we can compete with Alabama, but they generally have the advantage in the state being the state named school and a long tradition and pipelines in a lot of schools that stretch back to far before most of us were even born. It takes a lot to put a wedge in those ties that were established long ago.

What it takes is winning and not just the Iron Bowl.; 8:17 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: No TarHeel this was after a game in like november when Auburn was getting killed and Lutz took a visit to Florida, and got an offer. Different circumstances we are thinking of here.; 8:18 AM
Kathy said...: Brandon Jacobs signed.; 8:18 AM
Anonymous said...: Great points, RK. This has to be bigger than one game a year.; 8:18 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Even when we've been up and Alabama's been down, we haven't been overly dominant in the state. They always get their share no matter what their record is.; 8:18 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Another Brandon Jacobs has signed with Auburn. I hope this one doesn't end up at SIU.; 8:19 AM
Anonymous said...: 8:18 a.m. Two more in for AuburnWireless updates available

Gordo (Ala.) ATH Izauea Lanier and Gainesville (Ga.) DL Josh Jackson have signed with Auburn.; 8:19 AM
Anonymous said...: Hopefully, Chizik and Co. can change that trend.; 8:20 AM
WarEagleRK said...: Hopefully this coaching staff doesn't tell this Brandon Jacobs that the only way he'll get to play is by playing DE.; 8:20 AM
Kathy said...: I like Izauea Lanier.; 8:21 AM
Anonymous said...: Kathy, what do you like about him?; 8:22 AM
Anonymous said...: Off to a staff meeting. Would some of you hit my work email if anything interesting happens.

jbs0003@auburn.edu; 8:22 AM
Kathy said...: Judging from the last several weeks, I expect recruiting will be a top priority for our coaches in 2010 and they will give Saban a fight. I've been impressed with them. Now let's see how they develop these players.; 8:22 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Two more are in:

ATH Izauea Lanier and DL Josh Jackson

I was hoping for better today, but it doesn't seem like it is going to be a great day, not that it was expected. Just hope to end up in the top 20, but that will be tough.

Next year should be much better.; 8:23 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Signed Letter Of Intent...
Daren bates

Anonymous said...: Agreed, Kathy.

Where the heck are Monica and Mobile??; 8:24 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Yep the loss of Farms, Aubrey Phillips and Oku waiting till later..kinda killed my recruiting buzz; 8:25 AM

Quitstina said...: Lets' hope so Kathy...; 8:25 AM
Kathy said...: Monica took today off, so maybe she overslept!; 8:26 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: From 2005-2008 ESPNU ranks us 10th in recruiting...shocking; 8:27 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Tyrik Rollison has signed with Auburn.

Good to have him in.; 8:27 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Monica is probably too busy keeping Rivals "The Wire" up to date. Rivals would be nothing without her.; 8:28 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Three 4 stars are in...I predict five more.; 8:28 AM
Miller said...: LB's and OL have to be top priority this coming year. I'm a bit disappointed with the LB recruiting this year. It was a very deep year for LB's and we seemed to not even care (previous staff at least).; 8:29 AM
Unknown said...: Looks like Spurrier and USC could have a strong day.

How they recruit to the SC fairgrounds and that horrid stadium is a mystery to me.; 8:30 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Rivals says we have 28 commits...jay said we had 21+2 juco's+ Josh hackson= 24; 8:30 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: The Visor stole one from Pete Carroll. Highly rated WR from South Carolina committed to left coast USC since last summer, signed with the other USC today. Clerical error?
;-); 8:31 AM
JgobravesHAG said...: Andrew they have the ole ball coach; 8:31 AM

Kathy said...: OK I'm stepping away to get coffee. When I get back, I want you to have Blake signed to AU!; 8:33 AM
AUBigCat said...: Miller the previous staff was doing well at the LB spot.; 8:33 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: I sure hope Tyrik qualifies, and then stays qualified.

I was always real lucky at standardized tests (I used "B" a lot), but I'm afraid I'm way past my prime. Anyone out there want to volunteer to give Tyrik a little help?; 8:34 AM
Quitstina said...: hehateme...how soon are we talking for this big surprise?; 8:35 AM
JD said...: Aubrey Phillips signed w/FSU; 8:35 AM
Roland said...: I'm not going to get any work done today; 8:35 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Unofficial- But TT website reporting Blake to Au!!; 8:38 AM
astatguy said...: Print edition of AJC referenced a study by a national news service about the accuracy of stars. Their conclusion - a little better than 50% accuracy.

As I've said before assigning a number of stars to a subjective evaluation doesn't make it objective or add any accuracy. It's still just an informed opinion.

I'd like to see a REAL study. A predictive model using speed, height, vertical jump, horizontal leap, and bench strength indicators indexed by position would be interesting. I'll bet it would be more accurate than stars.; 8:38 AM
hehateme said...: Mac, no work for me either...

Kristina, by noon.; 8:38 AM
Kathy said...: I hope you are right Eddie!; 8:39 AM

AUNugget said...: hahate,

Commish of Old Pimps said...: Morning all.

Can't believe I'll be spending my day breathlessly anticipating the decisions of 17 year old kids.

What's next, Oprah?; 8:50 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: I swear I saw the Rivals Wire announce "Blake to AU" but now it's gone!!???; 8:50 AM
Eddie McCoy said...: Yepp, everyone is now backing off the Emory Blake story. That is why I listed it as unofficial until the LOI is in.; 8:51 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Flesh- you're absolutely correct. Emory Blake to Auburn has been erased!?!?!?!?!; 8:52 AM
Kathy said...: Me too Comm'r. What's up with Blake?; 8:52 AM
patdyeswildturkey said...: I think the Blake story is kida like listening to rock albums backwards...; 8:52 AM
Will said...: I agree comm'r. This is really sad. I feel like someone should be filming me for an episode of intervention.

"I don't need help! I can handle this myself! It's not a problem"

Will, if you don't get off the HABOTN, our relationship will change in the following ways.; 8:53 AM
Commish of Old Pimps said...: THT, I wouldn't get your hopes up about both Patrick and Moore, especially the latter. Disappointment awaits you there.

I don't understand the lack of OL committments to us though. Great chance for early playing time.; 8:53 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Barkevious Mingo picks LSU over UA-T. I love that name. Can't read it without thoughts of Ed Ames.
I wish AU's cup would runneth over.

patdyeswildturkey said...: Comm'r I have a feeling with lack of OL committs, some of the guys on the DL will be getting the Tyrone Green treatment and getting looks at OL..; 8:55 AM

Commish of Old Pimps said...: I played a Fine Young Cannibal song backwards and swear it said "Don't hire Tony Franklin whatever you do!!"

Always suspected Tubs had bad choice in music.; 8:55 AM
Tar Heel Tiger said...: Re: Mingo, does anyone remember the Tonight Show episode where Ed Ames threw an tomahawk at a wouldn't figure? That was SO funny.; 8:57 AM
Kathy said...: I like Sullen: "Even if he weren't a talented football player, Sullen could have likely gotten in the old-fashioned way. Sullen carries a 3.4 GPA, scored a 28 on his ACT and will major in mechanical or wireless engineering."; 8:57 AM

We pulled your offer when you visited rivals.com. You of all people should have learned from the BC coaching situation.; 8:57 AM

Tar Heel Tiger said...: I'll go outside and make yellow snow in front of everyone.

...And then get fired.; 9:02 AM
AUBigCat said...: A little info on 2* DT Josh Johnson. He played for my Alma Mater, the Gainesville High Red Elephants (dont laugh it's embarrassing enough). They had an outstanding team this year with their only loss against Caver (Columbus, GA) in the playoffs. He was probably the best D player on the team but their offense was scary good because of the QB and WRs who will be SRs next year.; 9:03 AM

michael said...: I am looking at Jay's "recruiting opus" post, and Blake falls withing the "Issue 2" group, and Jay thinks a reasonable goal is to get 25% of those guys. Well, there are ten recruits listed there, so the question is who are the other 1.5 people we might get from that group? I am thinking maybe Dontae Aycock and David Oku's lower body to get to 25%.; 9:14 AM

Commish of Old Pimps said...: Blake + Rollison = two bona fide stars to CGC's first AU class. Plus, they never considered AU until the new coaching staff arrived.
