Checking in from L.A.

Hey everyone. As I discussed in a recent thread, The Tate Family is on vacation in southern California.

(Photo taken approximately 36,000 feet above Arizona.)

Just wanted to make it clear why I was not blogging and providing the swell Auburn information you expect from the HABOTN. I'm planning to do a few Coach Spotlights this week, but I'll be working them around trips to Disneyland, the San Diego Zoo and Sunset Blvd.

Take care.

While I don't really like the idea of a true freshman QB, I think this says a lot about the faith the coaches have in Burns and Todd. If Marshall says he was told that, I believe him.; 3:51 AM

Which is why I don't feel too bad about leaving the office and shutting it down for the day before 3 on a Friday so I can finally get the grass cut while it's not raining. Or, just telling folks that I'll be working from home some days. Depending on what's on the calendar, working from home can be MUCH more productive that being in the office.; 7:33 AM

Eddie McCoy said...: Wartiger- I believe 97, just heard it, but wasn't paying close attention.

Sensi- I'm listening to Longshore and all he could talk about at the beginning of the show and now is secondary violations. BLAH BLAH BLAH. I thought "secondary violations" was Saban's middle name, but it just doesn't ever seem to get the attention. Hell, the NCAA even wrote a "Saban" rule because he couldn't help himself. I just love how biased the media is on the opion side of things.; 7:42 AM
mytommyd said...: Morning all,Just went over to al.com (I know I know) just to see what some of the hubbub was about. Evidently secondary violations are being bantered about. Which means the NCaa says okay now you don't do that again or we're going to have to tell you not to do that again...again.

I don't care if it's an act of desperation, or genius, I love hearing that there are some big time recruits willing to put up their own money to come and visit Auburn. It's also fun to read how people are squirming about these events. I just hope it results in those kids becoming a part of the Auburn family.; 7:44 AM

That's the sound of summer at the HABOTN for the most part.

I bet Jay G. hates it, but this thing blew up last season and I bet this fall it will be off the charts because most people here are tolerable and somewhat normal.

Well, compared to AL.com or other places, people here are mostly normal.; 11:25 AM
Anonymous said...: So let's see....Sims is initially rated 4 star by "Rivals", then commits to Bama in April 09. Now without playing any more HSFB he is amazingly rated a 5 star QB.

Good catch Sensi. Folks that don't track this stuff just blow off the Rivals-Bammer bias as conspiracy paranoia. This will happen numerous times for Bama recruits. In the past..AU commits have been just as likely downgraded as upgraded.; 11:26 AM

Unknown said...: Undercover has an article that says Lattimore no longer considers Auburn his leader, although he has narrowed his list to 8 schools. We are in the 8, but so is Alabama. This is surprising.; 11:52 AM
Anonymous said...: Steve,

I'll be really surprised if any of the "top" guys from this class commit before February. We've all seen this movie.

From what I've seen in clips, Lattimore runs lower to the ground than Seastrunk but it's hard to judge how that'll work in the SEC. Plus, I haven't seen them run out of the shotgun much so who knows how that'll look.

Long way to August. Even longer to February.; 11:59 AM
chip chip said...: if shark will come back as "cousin humper #1" let's put him in ROF and let him say whatever he wants.; 12:00 PM
chip chip said...: i read from someone at BCW that seastrunk has an approximately 44-46" vertical leap. somebody who was at BCW claims to have measured where he touched an AU banner hanging in the football complex and tried to err on the downside of where he touched it. there is also a picture circulating on the pay sites of him skying for a pass a camp somewhere that makes this story even more believable.; 12:03 PM
Unknown said...: I wouldn't put my hopes on any one of these recruits. The thing is, if we get 25% of them, we would have done very well. You never can tell what will happen with recruiting.; 12:13 PM

Unknown said...: Eddie, have you read the article about Lattimore on Auburn Undercover that says Auburn is no longer Lattimore's leader? I think this strange after all the recruits seemed so happy over how the weekend went.; 1:02 PM
Seanzie said...: That's why I ask Steve. Were there not details around the comment?; 1:07 PM
Unknown said...: The details say that he reduced his list of schools to 8, but he no longer considers us as his leader. Here is the quote of what he said from Undercover, but I don't want to copy too much of their stuff. He said ""Auburn is no longer my leader". It is confusing because the article's first paragraph says Auburn is still at the top of his list. He is just saying he has 8 potential schools but isn't naming a leader. My guess is some coach from another school talked with him and asked him to not make a decision before he has visited them. That is my best guess.; 1:14 PM
Unknown said...: I wouldn't get too concerned over Lattimore. As I have stated, the success of this recruiting class doesn't depend upon one player. I am convinced this last weekend was a huge success and the coaches are doing an unbelievable job of getting the attention of top athletes.; 1:18 PM
Seanzie said...: Hmm interesting stuff. Thanks.; 1:22 PM
Monica said...: ehyou You can email or IM us anytime you'd like. :-); 1:25 PM
Eddie McCoy said...: As far as Lattimore goes, I think this is more expected, being that it clearly seems as if he has a favorite. He is one of the Top Ten recruits in the country, so him saying his options are all equal would seem normal to me, but from all that I can tell from what has been reportedly said during the weekend leads me to believe he definitely favors us.; 1:27 PM

mytommyd said...: Okay - objective Tom is going to make a statement now. yes this weekend was great for Auburn football recruiting, but this is early early summer and there are many months to go before these kids decide their college. There's always a chance they sign at Auburn, but how close was this weekend to closing the deal?

Also I think it's pretty interesting that Auburn has a successful recruiting event that no one has seen the likes of, and surprisingly enough, talk of NCAA violations come out. I think they're angry that they haven't come with the great ideas that our coaches have, and it scares them. Just sayin.; 2:41 PM
Scott Chocolate said...: Going back to Jet's VHBS post:

This morning I took my kids to actual VBS. Since we go to a small church, I pretty much know all the kids. There were only two Bammer kids in their class. After VBS, I asked my 8-year-old son how it went. He said, "Good, but G***** creeps me out and R** is weird." Do I even have to say which two kids those are? Of course, they have been brainwashed by their parents. Perhaps they can attend Jet's VHBS next year and be converted.; 2:42 PM
