Auburn lands another commitment

DL Kenneth Carter of Greenville High has made a verbal commitment to play tackle football at Auburn beginning in 2010.

We know this because our friends at AuburnSports.com, AuburnUndercover.com and ITAT say so.

Carter stands 6-foot-5 and weighs approximately 270 pounds. He was a late bloomer in a sense -- ie wasn't a game-changing element until 2008 -- and only recently began receiving offers from big schools. We know Ole Miss, Kentucky and Southern Miss are highly interested.

ITAT believes Alabama and Clemson, among others, have offered scholarships.

Both Scout.com and Rivals.com rate Carter as a three-star prospect (out of five).

Here's a look at Auburn's array of commitments:

OL Shon Coleman, Olive Branch, Miss.
LB Jake Holland, Pelham HS
ATH Shaun Kitchens, Atlanta, Ga.
K Cody Parkey, Jupiter, Fla.
WR Jeremy Richardson, Springville HS
LB Jawara White, Troy
LB Jessel Curry, Buford, Ga.
CB Jonathan Mincy, Decatur, Ga.
DE Joel Bonomolo, Fullerton, Calif. (juco)
S Demetruce McNeal, College Park, Ga.
DB D.J. Howard, Lincoln HS
WR Antonio Goodwin, Atlanta, Ga.
OL Chad Slade, Moody HS
DL Kenneth Carter, Greenville HS

By the way, Kenneth Carter intends to take more visits. I don't think he's a firm verbal at the moment.

But I'm glad he's in fold. We are rapidly reaching the pre-senior-season AL top 20. Kenneth Carter is 19th.

The Richardson WR commit is impressive. (I know I talked trash before, but that was just smack, you know.)

I've often wondered why neither Alabama (until recently) or Auburn had more solid players at the wide positions. Auburn's had some good ones in the near past, but last year was rough.

2:57 PM  
Blogger AU1292 said...

I've heard conflicting reports on why Owens is holding off on the announcement. The first is that he wants to wait until after the season to see which way each program (Auburn and Alabama) are headed. The other is that the AU coaches want him to hold off on the announcement to possibly counter a CJ Moseley commitment to Alabama.

Without more information to go on, I'd go C - B - A ... though A may have a lot of upside because of his relative inexperience.

RB-A is Cory Grant.. ranked #10 in the country with 678 yards rushing (about 50 yds / game)

RB-B is Traylon Shead - UTexas commit - ranked #20 in the country with 3500 yards rushing. That's like 250+ yards every game.

RB-C is D.J. Jones. #15.. from Texas (Denison).. 190 yards / game. and he doesn't even have an offer from UT.

I'm just talking about Trent Richardson's senior year stats. I find them impressive.

Is he the be all end all? No one knows yet. However, in a stat discussion about RBs, I thought his were quite impressive.

Check him out here

All that to the side and in spite of his goofy comments, Lache Seastrunk looks to be a very, very solid player that I hear is very close to committing to Auburn.

Personally, I like it better when Auburn and Alabama are both good. Makes the rivalry more than just smack talk.

I joke about Auburn being toast all the time because it's what the rabid fan in me wants, but I know better. Cycle of the Wearwolf, no?

2% is about as low as a human ca go without being infirmed.

If Lance Armstrong needs 4% and he's not hitting people at full speed, I'd say Trent Richardson either is being misrepresented by Salsa or will have limbs torn from his body within two weeks.

I disagree with the "no one will be displaced" idea... seeing as we were displaced.

I think my biggest issue is, who is this totally random company "Tailgate Guys" and how did they get the gig? Was it open bid, were they lowest bidders, are they Jay Jacobs and El Presidente themselves looking to make a killing on the overly rich and snooty who rarely tailgate anyway, thus forcing true tailgaters further off campus?

I will also liken this new venture to the thought that weed is a gateway drug that leads to bigger and badder things... this too will get worse for us fans.

DMiller..I read the Tailgate guys stuff. If the rented spaces stop at that then OK. As you introduced, something tells me that the "gateway" has been opened for more of this.

You do have to wonder about how those "Guys" got the gig and who sets reservation priorities and pricing. The web page says "call for pricing" instead of having it listed. If this was above board, then why wasn't the business opportunity advertised? A lot of folks would jump at that chance.

This is a small area of the entire campus and it is perfectly located for a VIP area. I know some folks that had longstanding tailgate tradition in that area. They will be able to move on, but that still doesn't make it right.

My question to the university is: Was is this necessary?, If so, why? If not necessary, then especially why? Here's some unacceptable answers: the need to raise $$$ or to fill a VIP need. Doesn't leave many reasonable answers does it?

JayG....The music wouldn't matter if a 13 year old happened into that arena.

Everytime I hear "Centerfield" by John Fogarty, I recall a certain companywide picnic/softball game that we played in the rain.

i saw the moody blues three times in 1986. bham, montgomery and macon, ga. really liked that album. it would not surprise me if i knew the enterprising young man behind the tailgating thing. i'll have to check with my dad to see if i'm right.

I wasn't aware that DEXA has anything to do with body fat

And when the music plays
And when the words are
Touched with sorrow... great song!

I still haven't forgiven Prechae. Talk about going from 60 to 0... I had such huge hopes for the first blowout of UA-T since 1969. The game was pretty lousy after that play.

Hoopie,

Summer of 97, I was 20 and had just gotten out of a long relationship, so I got to enjoy the summer just hanging out with friends and enjoying the things that I had missed out on for the past two years. Just a fun fun time.

Salsa - nice idea, but I can't imagine ACC taking SC back as quicky as SEC would take Tech back. Why would anyone want SC?


SECCG - i really hate indoor football. There are no weather conditions that would make me prefer indoor football over outdoors. I think the tv camermen outvoted me.

I'm going to have to call it a night pretty soon. I ate a HUGE plate of BBQ, slaw, brunswick stew along with a large bag of puppies in between my release from prison and a meeting tonight. MrsTHT didn't get my message, so when I got home after 8 I had to eat fried chicken, purple hull peas, sweet corn, fried okra, and cornbread with maple syrup. My seams are about to split.

My sister seriously led me astray. I had been saving calories to splurge on a Dairy Queen Butterfinger Blizzard. She convinced me that the Butterfinger Blast from Sonic was better. WRONG!!! Such a waste...

THT....there's always room for Ice cream.

We dropped by Bruster's after Moe's. That meal, on top of the Japanese cuisine for lunch, made for steller Monday meals.

My steller meal day rates as average cuisine for THT.

Oreo Blizzards are a fav. Actually....Wendy's now has Oreo Blizzards that suffice as a 2nd or 3rd choice.

Italian food = canoli for dessert

Mexican or Oriental food = Ice Cream for dessert

All others = Carrot Cake, German Chocolate Cake or Pecan pie for dessert.

Ice cream is my favorite choice for dessert, no matter the meal (including breakfast!). Lemon pie (made with Borden's condensed milk), apple pie, and banana-free banana pudding are acceptable options if ice cream is unavailable.

Drove to AU this evening with another load of furniture as it might rain Tuesday in Montgomery.

Drove slow it took about an hour to get there. Pulled up to the apartment and discovered the key wifey gave me did not fit.

Not a good evening in AU. Locksmith was happy though.

an "Official Proclamation", because here on my street, it is now Tuesday!

T-minus 39 days till kickoff!

HAPPY BILLY ATKINS DAY!!!

In memory of this Millport, AL, native who was named the MVP of the 1957 National Champions. Yes, he botched a 19 yd FG attempt that would have won the 1958 Senior Bowl, but don't forget that Mr. Atkins was Auburn's all-time scoring leader when he left for a career in the pro ranks. He started in the NFL with the 49ers, then moved to the AFL where he played for the Bills, Titans/Jets, and Broncos. His best years were with the Bills; in 1961 he was an AFL All-Star, leading the league in interceptions (10) and leading the league with a 44.5 yd punting average. After his pro career, he coached Troy State to a NAIA National Championship! Sadly, Mr. Atkins passed away in 1991. But today we celebrate the memory of his great achievements and realize we're one day closer to kickoff!

Honorable mention to Memphis State transfer Kurt Crain, an Auburn All-American linebacker in 1987. I believe he is currently on the coaching staff at USA in Mobile.

WARRRRRR EAGLE!!!
GO TIGERS!!!

Moving day at my house. Moved a lot last night expecting it to rain here today. Not happening yet, but if I stall long enough maybe it will.

Think I need to go workout before I start the move.
