Two linemen (and one WR/TE) make their decisions

MONDAY NIGHT
Post No. 1,027

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.

I wanted Farms. We need offensive linemen.

So does Ole Miss have about 50 commitments now?!!

You 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)

any other OL folks on the board?

Jay, I bet every HABOTN thread since September 2008 has had at least one reference to Tony Franklin.

I say, keep 'em coming (preferrably qualified somewhere with the word "dumbass")

8:15 PM  
Blogger Spongeworthy said...

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.

8:17 PM  
Blogger wes said...

i'm sure the majority of AU basketball fans are on board...all 3 of them.

seriously, at least unrealistically high expectations show that you care. i feel like Lebo could hang around forever.

8:17 PM  
Blogger Commish of Old Pimps said...

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.

8:18 PM  
Blogger Spongeworthy said...

sadly, 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.

jay, are you thinking we are ADD and cannot stay on one thread at a time and needs lots blogs to keep our attention
or 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??!!

8:25 PM

WEG-i don't know if i could get anymore addicted.

to me, a new thread is like fresh snow waiting to be played in.

8:28 PM

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?

OK, 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.

Of 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.

Per Rivals.com story on Oku: "I'm not committed to anyone anymore," he said.

"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."

8:41 AM  
Blogger Commish of Old Pimps said...

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???

By 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.

8:41 AM  
Blogger Seanzie said...

so Aycock has committed then?

8:42 AM  
Blogger Commish of Old Pimps said...

Aycock 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).

By 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.
