Corey Gaines (at left) has made his decision and it doesn't involve the Tigers.The Tallahassee defensive tackle committed to Ole Miss this afternoon. Former Auburn beat hack, Neal McCready, broke the news over at RebelSports.net.
ALSO: Guard Johnnie Farms told the Atlanta Journal-Constitution that he will stick with his commitment to North Carolina.
UPDATE: WR/TE Tracy Moore of Tulsa, Okla., said he'll standing by his commitment to Oklahoma State. He visited Auburn last weekend.
uno...
ReplyDeleteNo need to spam the thread, Wes!
ReplyDeletesorry :) couldn't help myself.
ReplyDeleteI've watched this opening scene before in last season's classic "0-fer on Signing Day"
ReplyDeleteI wanted Farms. We need offensive linemen.
ReplyDeleteSo does Ole Miss have about 50 commitments now?!!
ReplyDeleteNeal McCready's letter to WNSP after they fired him
ReplyDeleteYou know. AU could have had Farms early on in the process, but since w/ had Genius Franklin at OC, no need for a big physical O lineman. Better to go w/ that 245 pounder in Texas (now commited to Iowa State)
ReplyDeleteAUBREY PHILLIPS last hope
ReplyDeletewith this years recruits Davis has some hosses on both his D and O lines
ReplyDelete245lb.....that kid would have had to shed tons of weight for our line
ReplyDeleteThey are both sissies.
ReplyDeleteSo Oku is no longer "commited" to Tennessee...
ReplyDeleteany other OL folks on the board?
ReplyDeleteI told you we needed to send Farms LOTS of shrubberies. No one listened and it's all gone to pot
ReplyDeleteHas anyone started the Fire Jeff Lebo website yet?
ReplyDeleteabout four years ago
ReplyDeleteJay, I bet every HABOTN thread since September 2008 has had at least one reference to Tony Franklin.
ReplyDeleteI say, keep 'em coming (preferrably qualified somewhere with the word "dumbass")
Well Phred, I'm officially on board now. I've defended Lebo as a good coach for too long. We let an average Vandy team beat us at home. That's the last straw. When the other coachs start to defend you, the end should be near. On other coach defends a guy that kicks their butts. They defend LOSERS.
ReplyDeletei'm sure the majority of AU basketball fans are on board...all 3 of them.
ReplyDeleteseriously, at least unrealistically high expectations show that you care. i feel like Lebo could hang around forever.
We don't need any more than one lineman; a center. He snaps it to one of the 10 RBs who start running in 20 different directions. It's the Sybil-Hog formation.
ReplyDeletesadly, if Lebo just recruited ONE reasonably good big man every two years, his record would be twice as good. Just one. We have had NONE in five years.
ReplyDeleteI'm out for the night hotties. Have a good week.
ReplyDeleteyeah that would work, silly walks
ReplyDeleteJumpin Jack Flash!!@!
ReplyDeletePlaying to .500 is "unreasonably high expectations?"
That was a joke right?
Wes.....according to the Scout.com public site, no more OL other than Phillips.
ReplyDeletesomething was lost in the translation.
ReplyDeletemeant to say...AU fans have no expectations.
hoopie-thanks for the info. looks like we will remain thin.
ReplyDeleteDo you think Ole Miss is overcommited? They must expect a few to be nonqualifiers.
ReplyDeleteOle Miss 2009 Football Commitments (31)
jay, are you thinking we are ADD and cannot stay on one thread at a time and needs lots blogs to keep our attention
ReplyDeleteor are you trying to make us that don't want to be interested in recruiting to get excited, upset, and wring our hands over recruiting
and get even more addicted to the HABOTN??!!
WEG-i don't know if i could get anymore addicted.
ReplyDeleteto me, a new thread is like fresh snow waiting to be played in.
Well I wanted Gaines but really we are ok at DL with 3 commits and 1 going JUCO. Farms was a long shot but I thought we could pull him. Is Phillips our last hope for this class?
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle Girl ... your post confirms that Jay G's new blogging style is making you ADD.
ReplyDeleteit's a conspiracy to keep us under 200 posts!!!!
ReplyDeleteOf course, I like the new snow theory
i do get excited everytime JayG says he is putting up a new thread..,
ReplyDeletespeaking of snow...how's the weather around the HABOTN family tree.
ReplyDeletehere in North Carolina we've got showers and in the 40's.
Moore was a long shot anyway:
ReplyDeleteUnion's Moore sticking with OSU
Off to watch the new episode of Medium....have a great night and sweet dreams of new recruits!
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!
here in this part of NC 43 and clear
ReplyDeletebummer.
ReplyDeleteThanks again for the link, Kathy.
ReplyDeleteI added Moore information to the main thread.
I was much happier when I didn't follow recruiting.
ReplyDeleteOn a brighter note, I cooked a pretty awesome dinner for Mrs. J-Z tonight. Pan seared grouper with brown butter garlic sauce served with sauteed squash and parmesan cheese grits.
Beats heck out of Beanie Weenies.
Just sayin'
Wes, don't trust me. Steady drizzle outside.
ReplyDeleteI hope ADD isn't Automatic Death Disorder.
ReplyDeleteTHT...sounds familiar. what part of NC (i'm in high point)
ReplyDeleteWorking the grouper and cheese grits and unveiling the kicker on a stick on the same day.
ReplyDeleteJ-Z, you sittin' in the recliner in your smoking jacket as the king of your house?
master of his domain!
ReplyDeleteNaw...I wouldn't big time you Jet. Just boxers and a t shirt like always.
ReplyDeletej-z, perhaps, but you know sometimes you just have to have Beanie Weenies. It could be that whole pregnancy thing.
ReplyDeleteLet's hope not.
ReplyDeleteOff Topic/Update on Coach Pawlowski's daughter:
ReplyDeleteMary-Louise Pawlowski Update
TarHeel tiger it can happen
ReplyDeleteKathy- is there anything you don't know? you are on the ball.
ReplyDeleteso we are 0 for 3 from this weekend so far
ReplyDeletewhere's FSJ? I'm curious as to what he's hearing about KK right now?
ReplyDeleteWeren't a lot of the kids from this weekend longshots anyway?
ReplyDeleteI don't think Ole Miss left room for Raymond Cotton, Pat Patterson ahhaha, that's wise.
ReplyDeleteA lot of long shots, yes.
ReplyDeletePhillips and Oku still look like legitimate possibiities.
Hey Mr. Tate, since you're here... Does the Bill Clark story still have any momentum behind it?
ReplyDeleteAlso, Justin Albert was mentioned earlier in the day. What is his current status?
hi Wes- Orange Co.
ReplyDeleteIf you believe we are going to get the FLA runningback, then we would not be 0 for 3 this weekend.
ReplyDeleteHas anyone heard where Cotton is landing?
wes, Google is a wonderful tool!
ReplyDeletetigercowboy as of now 0 for 3
ReplyDeleteNo BS here....I talked to Bill Clark tonight and he told me that he has not talked to anybody at Auburn. He even told me that some site had contacted him and knew he was the knew LB coach and wanted to get him on the record.
ReplyDeleteMr. Tate is my dad. I'll ask him.
ReplyDeleteWell there is one bright spot to our OL issues. Bama has 6 committed with Brandon Moore still yet to decide. Next year we should have our pick of in-state OL.
ReplyDeleteWow...you try and pay someone a little common courtesy and you get busted on. Sigh... These kids today.
ReplyDeleteAhh..."Mr. Tate", a sign of reverence and respect.
ReplyDeleteToo much grits talk. I'm craving grits and shrimp from that micro brewery/restaurant on the river in Chattanooga.
ReplyDeleteMonica ... never too much grits talk!
ReplyDeleteForgive me, Jet?
ReplyDelete"kiss my grits" (Flo 198?)
ReplyDeleteOf course, young lady.
ReplyDeleteFlo from "Alice" 1976-1985
ReplyDeleteJ-Z ... did you get all the Dukes of Hazzard trivia you need?
ReplyDeleteI think so. You guys should make the trip up on Thursday night.
ReplyDeleteI'll be there.
ReplyDeleteI'd feel better if we get phillips, seems we are addin some speed, though.
ReplyDeleteave fun playing tight end and being a blocking dummy Tracy Moore, peice a' crap
ReplyDeletehaha, we'll live without moore.
ReplyDeletejay G: get a radio show
Looks like I'll be dining at City Grill instead. Sorry.
ReplyDeleteWatch your blood pressure, hag. you're not getting any younger
ReplyDeleteMoore was a nice fellow; I wish him well.
ReplyDeleteGood night hotties. I'm off to the airport to pick up the hottiest of all, Mrs THT.
No HABOTN at tomorrow's work site :-(
I'll need Prozac, or maybe Methadone
goodnight THT!
ReplyDeleteGoodnight THT and all Hotties. I'm calling it a day, too. Talk to you all tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteGoodnight hotties.
ReplyDeleteGOOOOOOD NIGHT TO ALL
ReplyDeleteOK, since Jet brought it up again in this thread - here's my Dukes of Hazard trivia contribution: Sonny "Enos" Shroyer, whose stellar turn as Paul W. Bryant in Forrest Gump got his first movie role as "The Idiot Convict" in the original Longest Yard.
ReplyDeleteOf course, you say, that's not trivia - everyone knows that.
What not everyone knows is that what Sonny was doing before joining Burt Reynolds in that 1975cinematic triumph: he was a State Farm agent in Valdosta, GA.
Specifically, he was my dad's State Farm agent.
Oh, and while we're at it, some personal trivia: my dad took me to see Sonny light up the screen in that epic when it hit the theaters - it was my first "R" rated film.
Both Pop and I enjoyed it.
Doug will be out on Thursday and Friday, so I'll be going the distance on WMSP then.
ReplyDeleteWe've got a lot to do between now and then, but save the date. Please listen.
Top 5 All timer just started at 11 CST -- UNFORGIVEN on Bravo.
ReplyDeleteI like it when Doug is out.
ReplyDeleteI love it when you're the one taking his place.
Now if we could just poison Longshore.....
here's hoping we have better news tomorrow (today here) and Wednesday.
ReplyDeleteWARRRRR EAGLE!!!!

ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties! Wake your hot selves up!
ReplyDeleteI'm up ... but I'm heading to the gym.
ReplyDeleteWhat's up Mon?
ReplyDeleteGood morning. Just checking in while my car windows are defrosting.
ReplyDeletefree dennys for all hotties!!!
ReplyDeleteFree HOTTIES for all Dennys*
ReplyDelete* -- offered limited to Denny Crum and Denny Crane.
Thanks for the reminder, jhag. I can't believe I forgot! Grand Slams all around!! Hope everyone has a good day!
ReplyDeleteGood morning, Hotties, on this fine Signing Day Eve.
ReplyDeleteSigning Day Eve and the potential presents are dwindling...that's three down.
ReplyDeleteWho are the signing day surprises going to be?
ReplyDeleteThis signing day should be much more interesting than previous ones. It could be a complete dud, but I bet there are some fireworks.
like whom, Eddie? I tend to agree with SeanZ.
ReplyDeleteToo bad there isn't a Denny's within a 100 miles from here...
ReplyDeleteHey 44! Just kickin it on a SDE.
ReplyDeleteTo all you folks who are trying to drop pounds remind me to tell you about something later. I have to take off to the office right now.
ever cleanse?
ReplyDeleteHas anyone got any insight into Jonathan Evans and Terrance Coleman? Disappointing news on Gaines and Farms. If I was UNC, Farms is one of those players I wouldn't feel comfortable about until I had his fax in hand. He has been all over the place recruiting-wise.
ReplyDeleteI don't really feel comfortable about anyone until we've got a fax in hand.
ReplyDeleteSo... supposedly OL Brandon Moore may not have a home come tomorrow...
ReplyDeleteApparently uat and UF have both told him that they have no room for him.
Miller, who's reporting re: Moore?
ReplyDeleteD. Miller, any idea why both schools backed out? We really need some O-lineman but after hearing him talk about AU after his visit, I doubt he will be coming here.
ReplyDeleteDMiller ...
ReplyDeleteI am hearing the same thing about Brandon Moore ... that would be a nice get.
Dennys had to long of a line it was ridiculous, settled for a burger and a cheap snow cone
ReplyDeleteMonica- Getting up early to work out gets easier with time. Take it from me. I am fully accustomed to waking up at 4:20am to go work out.
ReplyDeleteLuv- I just have a hunch there will be somebody that is not on the radar right now that will sign. I could be completely wrong, but someone like Benton is whom I'm refering to.
Well Brandon Moore would be a huge get, but he didn't sound ethusiastic about Auburn...maybe that's a steal for TN or Clemson.

ReplyDeleteI fear we are at that precipice once again.
OK, kids ...
ReplyDeleteI'm going to be optimistic that everything will be fine tomorrow.
Farms hurts, but we're not done yet.
Let's not go to the Grand Canyon and fixate on falling. Let's enjoy the view.
War Eagle.
LOL, jet. That is a great perspective. I will try to remember that tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty happy that we even have the opportunity to be disappointed right now. My gut feeling tells me there will be at least a few things to be excited about tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteAfter the season and the departure of CTT, I figured I would have been bummed out at least a few weeks ago.
lmao @ Sensi - Mr. Sunshine
ReplyDeleteFor everyone trying to drop pounds, I encourage you to sign up for the Pound for Pound Challenge. For every pound you lose a pound of food will be donated. It's a very fast sign up. http://www.pfpchallenge.com
hag I guess your FB group put too much pressure on Oku cuz he's freakin out now.
ReplyDeleteRobert Cooper accepted gray shirt per Auburnsports.com
ReplyDeleteMorning HOTTIES!!!!
ReplyDeleteGetting Close! Are we ready for some commitments?
Morning Mon....
ReplyDeleteMy you've been up early!
Well, it was 5:36 here, but yeah that is early for me. Just woke up bright eyed and bushy tailed.
ReplyDeleteFrom Rivals main page under the title: "The Next Wave: Redshirts to watch in 2009
Auburn WR Philip Pierre-Louis: This three-star prospect from Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas might have earned substantial playing time this past season if he hadn't sustained a knee injury while returning the opening kickoff of the Tigers' first game.
Mon, how is Oku freaking out? Like a facebook status freakout or a legit freak out?
ReplyDeletePJ - It was a Rivals article saying Oku was telling everyone to leave him alone - wants coaches to stop calling him - he needs to to think, etc.
ReplyDeletelook at Mon rockin' the HABOTN tee. looks like someone is ready for signing day! Phreddie and Eddie must've inspired ya.
ReplyDeletePer Rivals.com story on Oku: "I'm not committed to anyone anymore," he said.
ReplyDelete"I don't have any plans to sign on Wednesday. I don't know when a decision will be made. I just need some space and some time to think and sort things out. Hopefully the coaches will respect that and understand how difficult this has become for me."
Scottie! I'm glad someone finally noticed! :-D
ReplyDeleteNext thing you are going to tell me is that beautiful actresses don't enjoy being stalked. Cry me a river, Oku!
ReplyDeleteOku is freaking out because he fears the wrath of Mon if he does not come to AU
ReplyDeleteI fear the wrath of mon daily...by the way Mon on that bet we discussed Re: Rueben Randle, I lost the house.
ReplyDeleteSorry I have been out of the loop....Any News on Tracy Moore or Joel Kight?
ReplyDeleteyou fellas never listen to me
ReplyDeleteOku wants the Runningback U.
ReplyDeleteI just feel bad for Bryce Brown. He was going to be the surprise commit without even visiting, but after Oku, he will have to go elsewhere. (*wink wink)
How many RBs are we going to have on roster???
Moore says he is staying with Oklahoma St and Kight committed to Ole Miss...
ReplyDeleteMonica, you'd think they'd learn...
ReplyDeleteSorry Mon....what was that?
ReplyDeleteI am glad too see Aycock is on his way to the plains...I hate how things went down with Tech, but I like what I have seen and heard about the kid.
ReplyDeleteA few months ago Luginbill was expecting him to take over the starting QB role
I still do not understand where we put all these RBs (actual and potential). Both Oku and Aycock look like fine gets, but who will block for them???
ReplyDeleteBy the way, the idea of the Wild-Sybil (with 10 RBs running every direction) was a joke. I do not think even Gustave M. can be effective without linemen.
so Aycock has committed then?
ReplyDeleteAycock was down to GT and Auburn when GT pulled his offer. I think the assumption is that AU is the last one standing, but he certainly has plenty of other options (many offers).
ReplyDeleteBy the way, since when is GT the ACC King of the Hill that can bully coveted 18 year olds?? They are not in the position to yank offers on principle.
Mon,
ReplyDeleteI noticed you Rocking the Hottie Shirt yesterday, but I didn't say anything... sorry.
I kinda felt like Jim Brown when asked why he just hands the football back to ref after a TD, and he said "Act like you been there before..."
I just knew you knew you lokked sporty!!!
LOL No need to be sorry, Mobile.
ReplyDeletei need to get me a HABOTN shirt pic up here with my kids. they were so funny in the snow yesterday.
ReplyDeleteoh, if anyone still wants a HABOTN tee i still have a few left in L, XL & 2X.
Come on, Scottie - I gave you video of my kids in the snow. It's your turn.
ReplyDeletemon, i know. i recorded video on my phone thinking i could upload it to facebook. not working for me, though. dunno.
ReplyDeleteUpload it to YouTube and then from YouTube to Facebook or just give us the YouTube link
ReplyDeleteYour phone video file probably isn't in the format Facebook likes.
