FYI, rivals is reporting we got another basketball commitment. some 6'7" kid that chose us over Cincinnati & Tulane. i don't have the name b/c my rivals sub. ran out.
What up Hotties - the great thing about working this project based in California is that when I'm home (not onsite) I can get up early, play 18 holes and still work a full day without missing a beat. At this rate, I may get my game back to a respectable level.
Aside from that, I'm loving the videos, practice reports, and pretty much everything Sportswriter Tate feeds to me.
I use to not respect the bleacher report. Then I read a list of the top 10 Auburn players of all time and it included Will Herring. Since then, well, I pretty much feel about the same about the bleacher report.
I saw a video of an interview with Todd the other day after practice and his entire arm was in one of Omnica's condoms and I believe it was filed with ice. I think it is a daily thing. I am not certain.
wtc - why do you say that, this week on rivals radio I heard Reed and Seastrunk are most likely going to LSU and that even AU has backed off Seastrunk a bit. They also said that Dyer most likely is in.
I read where Seastrunk said LSU stands for Lache Seastrunk University, but I put no credence behind it. If we get Dyer, I will be ecstatic. If we get Seastrunk and Reed, I will be blown away.
Either it means that I don't think it means much because it may or may not be true and we have heard him make positive comments about Auburn too, or I don't think he will have CCR as a backup band.
LOL Y'all are confusing me. I'm just asking you where you saw that, AU, because I saw an interview with Lache and I'm wondering if we saw the same thing.
I take the same view of recruits as I do with new jobs. I don't assume I have the job until I get the first paycheck. I don't assume we have a recruit until he steps on the field.
Mon - It was an interview on Sirius XM with Mike Farrell who is a recruiting analyst for Rivals. He spoke with Seastrunk after his visit to LSU. So it is after what you saw.
Reed and his family had a great visit from what I hear. The family REALLY liked Trooper and crew. Reed was the one I thought would pull Seastrunk to LSU. If he is on board, I think Seastrunk is in. There is an article on Rivals about a DB named Dixon. The rivals guy is writing for Oregon Ducks and he mentions the rumor of Seastrunk, Reed and Dixon are all being mentioned as going to AU. He didn't rule out that rumor.
From that video, it seems clear to me Kodi is the front guy. I think I saw Todd throw some 4 yard ducks... And Kodi doesn't even have to be a better passer than Todd- just close enough to him to where his mobility makes up the difference.
I think the decommittment of Storm Johnson from LSU is a big deal though. LSU asked him to keep his committment silent as they tried to go after Seastrunk and some kid in Ohio. When Miles was asked the comittment a couple of weeks ago, he said they were still evaluating Johnson and had not offered him. His dad is not happy and he decommitted today. Let's see how Lache looks at Miles now knowing how this kid was treated.
See THIS is why I like to SEE the interviews myself. Everyone interprets it differently. lol My take was that he's really and truly down to Auburn and LSU.
He committed in early July and Les said to keep it quiet. (les is trying to woo other RB's to LSU) and somehow it got out and about a week ago a reporter asked Les about it and he said they were still evaluating Johnson and no offer was made.
Les got a commit from the #9 athlete on Rivals (will be a Rb at LSU) and Johnson decided he needed to move along if they were not going to acknowledge he was in the fold.
I think AU offers Ken Adams (Juco De) that signed once with AU but was a non qualifier, if the kid from Cali does not graduate on time or is offered a scholly by LSU. i think he takes the LSU offer if he gets one.
I really don't Mon. I have several friends at AU that located in various places that are privy to things. They don't tell me everything but I piece several of them together, when I have time.
Oh my goodess, we just got back from eating at BinOBA's restaurant in Orange Beach. If you are ever in the area, I strongly recommend it. The tomato basil soup with andoullie sausage was fabulous, as was the seafood pasta and the soft shell crab. My kids said the sushi was great, although I didn't try it.
A funny on my sister. I said BinOBA was the sous chef - she thought that meant he was the sushi chef.
Steve, we dropped interest inhis teammate that is an OL because we got Phillips from FSU. They are still high on Bolo (or whatever) from a Cali Juco, but he is LSU territory.
Cincy-I think some will committ about 3-4 games into the season. I think this because, they are now seeing that some programs are filling up and there may not be room by signing day for many of them.
AU is already marked a few off their list that I thought they would take but they may not have any room.
What if Taylor and Luper can convince a group of highly rated prospects to come to AU by getting them to believe they, as a group, can make a difference in a program that other s will talk about for a while and they can take this program to another level instead of being a cog in a machine somewhere else.
Watch to see if we get a highly rated OL because of Lache and or Reed.
I think I have A LOT of faith in this staff to recruit very well. I think Chizik does also. If AU wins a few early to show the ship has been put back on course, (I am on the record stating I think we get to 6-1 or 7-0) and the recruits will see what this staff can do and come to us.
I'm saying 7 wins and maybe Music City. I hope they play well in those they don't win & that the highschool seniors really like what they see. I think they will.
Strange you mention most haunter Omnica. It is my dream job. Get myself a green light. Walk around in old houses. Say I heard something or something touched me. Get paid. Sweet!!!
I have disabled auto-play for this video.
I hate UAT!!!!
ReplyDeleteSECOND IN THE TUB!!!!!!!! JOIN THE CLUB!!!!
ReplyDeletewow Jet. that's impressive!
Jet in the hizzle
ReplyDeletedid you hear someone say 'BOOM' during one of Kodi's throws? cool. can't tell much fron Todd on those throws.
ReplyDeleteInteresting. Kodi gets a couple of "good jobs" and even a "that was good can you feel it?"
ReplyDeleteTodd didn't look so good and even had a "bad throw, bad throw!"
Jet preaching to the Hotties!
ReplyDeleteAny Mac Hotties want to tell me why the vid will play in Firefox but not Safari?
ReplyDeletei think i need to print up some 'HOTTIES FOR HATE' tees for a few of us on here. i'm sure they'd be quite popular. you know, to spread the good word.
ReplyDeleteI wonder what Pat Sullivan looked like in these drills.
ReplyDeleteFYI, rivals is reporting we got another basketball commitment. some 6'7" kid that chose us over Cincinnati & Tulane. i don't have the name b/c my rivals sub. ran out.
ReplyDeleteDang! The ads are coming in loud and clear but no video....what gives? Anybody else having problems?
ReplyDeleteNever had this problem before.
It's fine here, missinit.
ReplyDeleteI always have problem with these videos until Jay posts another blog. Don't know why, but I am a 64 bit firefox linux user.
ReplyDeleteGet a PC, of course that is from an xIBMer
ReplyDeleteAlso, Smoltzie has been designated for assignment. Sux.
All is well....it's okay now...I cussed it then twitched my nose...working fine now!
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video Jay G!
I will stick with linux. I can't handle windblows.
ReplyDeleteActually it was the night vision goggles that did the trick! I can even see the post numbers by the avatars!
ReplyDeleteYes 18 as you can see
ReplyDeleteI am hearing that Jeremy Flowers and Matthew Sample have been removed from the roster. Jay, is this true and if so are we down to 73 players?
ReplyDeleteI'm bettin' Sully's footwork was better than either of those guys.
ReplyDeleteIf Todd's shoulder is in ice after the first couple of practices...that can't be a good sign for a whole season.
What up Hotties - the great thing about working this project based in California is that when I'm home (not onsite) I can get up early, play 18 holes and still work a full day without missing a beat. At this rate, I may get my game back to a respectable level.
ReplyDeleteAside from that, I'm loving the videos, practice reports, and pretty much everything Sportswriter Tate feeds to me.
Keep Hate Alive.
Apparently Todd's entire arm is covered in ice after each practice. I wouldn't consider that a good sign either.
ReplyDeleteI use to not respect the bleacher report. Then I read a list of the top 10 Auburn players of all time and it included Will Herring. Since then, well, I pretty much feel about the same about the bleacher report.
ReplyDeleteMon-after that comment on the earlier, I will refrain from saying I wish that kid would stick his head in there and hit something.
ReplyDeleteWho said Todd's arm is wrapped in ice? Did I miss something?
ReplyDeleteSeastrunk, Dyer, Reed, Dixon, Owens all look to be shoring up their commit to AU. not sure when, but put it down.
you know you liked it, wtc
ReplyDelete;-)
I saw a video of an interview with Todd the other day after practice and his entire arm was in one of Omnica's condoms and I believe it was filed with ice. I think it is a daily thing. I am not certain.
ReplyDeleteHearing great news about the DE from Miami,FL. (Lemonier) Rocker has ratcheted up the recruitment and the kid is impressed.
ReplyDeleteIt was funny Mon.
ReplyDeleteI heard that kid was on the verge of committing to someone else the other day, but backed off.
ReplyDeletewtc - why do you say that, this week on rivals radio I heard Reed and Seastrunk are most likely going to LSU and that even AU has backed off Seastrunk a bit. They also said that Dyer most likely is in.
ReplyDeleteDiscuss....
I read where Seastrunk said LSU stands for Lache Seastrunk University, but I put no credence behind it. If we get Dyer, I will be ecstatic. If we get Seastrunk and Reed, I will be blown away.
ReplyDeleteWhere did you hear that on Rivals, AU1? I saw a video on Rivals of an interview with Lache and that's not what he was saying.
ReplyDeleteSteve what do you mean you put no credence behind it? What does that mean exactly?
ReplyDeleteHey, I don't question wtc because he pulled in something the other week so he has cred.
ReplyDeleteEither it means that I don't think it means much because it may or may not be true and we have heard him make positive comments about Auburn too, or I don't think he will have CCR as a backup band.
ReplyDeleteRivals
ReplyDeleteYou can listen to Mike Farrell on August 6th. He discusses the fact that he talked with Seastrunk after his visit to LSU.
LOL Y'all are confusing me. I'm just asking you where you saw that, AU, because I saw an interview with Lache and I'm wondering if we saw the same thing.
ReplyDeleteI take the same view of recruits as I do with new jobs. I don't assume I have the job until I get the first paycheck. I don't assume we have a recruit until he steps on the field.
ReplyDeleteI am still working on my trash talking. The latest is going to just say "Dah Bull!!!" any time Eltoro gets a sack.
ReplyDeleteMon - It was an interview on Sirius XM with Mike Farrell who is a recruiting analyst for Rivals. He spoke with Seastrunk after his visit to LSU. So it is after what you saw.
ReplyDeleteReed and his family had a great visit from what I hear. The family REALLY liked Trooper and crew. Reed was the one I thought would pull Seastrunk to LSU.

ReplyDeleteCotton, it really isn't who is the better passer or runner.
ReplyDeleteI think the decommittment of Storm Johnson from LSU is a big deal though. LSU asked him to keep his committment silent as they tried to go after Seastrunk and some kid in Ohio. When Miles was asked the comittment a couple of weeks ago, he said they were still evaluating Johnson and had not offered him. His dad is not happy and he decommitted today. Let's see how Lache looks at Miles now knowing how this kid was treated.
ReplyDeleteWow, Storm de-committing is big news. He was suppose to be one of the better players in GA if I remember correctly.
ReplyDeleteAU1 Here's the interview I'm talking about. It was on the 4th
ReplyDeleteRivals Lache Seastrunk 8.4.09
The radio segment also discussed Auburn making a mistake recruiting all 3 RB's heavily at the same time.
ReplyDeleteI hope everyone is wrong and we get the Wu Tang Clan(wtc) Result.
Lache makes it clear in that video Trovon isn't his just his "friend," he's his "brother".
ReplyDeleteTHT - Monk would never leave a price tag on the bottom of his thermos.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the video Omnica. I like the way that kid talks. He sounds respectful and like a good guy.
ReplyDeleteI do think it is a mistake to target 3 high profile running backs, but if they get one of them, it is all good.
ReplyDeleteThx Mon - After that, I think he is going everywhere except for the places he lost phone numbers.
ReplyDeleteI will say this. That kid is super quick.
ReplyDeleteFor practice to be closed there sure are a lot of guys on the Bunker giving their observations of practice. lol
ReplyDeleteAnd its funny because the guy conducting the interview is the same guy on the radio.
ReplyDeleteSee THIS is why I like to SEE the interviews myself. Everyone interprets it differently. lol
ReplyDeleteMy take was that he's really and truly down to Auburn and LSU.
Exactly WHY did Storm decommit?
ReplyDeleteLet me also say that I do not follow recruiting that much.
ReplyDeleteHe committed in early July and Les said to keep it quiet. (les is trying to woo other RB's to LSU) and somehow it got out and about a week ago a reporter asked Les about it and he said they were still evaluating Johnson and no offer was made.
ReplyDeleteLes got a commit from the #9 athlete on Rivals (will be a Rb at LSU) and Johnson decided he needed to move along if they were not going to acknowledge he was in the fold.
ummm WTC was that a joke about you not following recruiting?
ReplyDeleteI say that B.J. Honeycutt can't hold Trapper John's jockstrap. That's what I say.
ReplyDeleteI think AU offers Ken Adams (Juco De) that signed once with AU but was a non qualifier, if the kid from Cali does not graduate on time or is offered a scholly by LSU. i think he takes the LSU offer if he gets one.
ReplyDeleteyou perved my FB status you freak!
ReplyDeleteWTC = huge cruit stalker
ReplyDeleteI really don't Mon. I have several friends at AU that located in various places that are privy to things. They don't tell me everything but I piece several of them together, when I have time.
ReplyDeleteI read somewhere that Auburn's interest in the JUCO DE from Cali had dropped because of someone else we have committed. I don't recall who.
ReplyDeleteuh huh
ReplyDeleteWay way side note because I know no one follows soccer but evidently myself and JGT.
ReplyDeleteJGT - Real Madrid is going to be the NY Yankees of soccer with all the talent they have.
Carry on.
Oh my goodess, we just got back from eating at BinOBA's restaurant in Orange Beach. If you are ever in the area, I strongly recommend it.

ReplyDeleteHahaha, I think I could be a sushi chef.
ReplyDeleteBarcelona ain't too shabby either.
ReplyDeleteMessi was incredible against the Sounders the other night.
ReplyDeleteAh good another...you are correct sir!
ReplyDeleteShould have read, he is from LSU territory.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Edmonds WA?
ReplyDeletewww.google.com
ReplyDeleteWTC = HABOTN Chief of Security and Intelligence.
ReplyDeleteAbout 15 min N of downtown Seattle. It's cool, one of the main ferry docks departs from here to Kingston,WA on the other side of Puget Sound.
ReplyDeleteSeattleplainsman?
ReplyDeletePurely by genetics.
ReplyDeleteAnd yes, blood really is orange and blue.
Jet-actually an undercover double secret agent.
ReplyDeleteBack from interviews.
ReplyDeleteGotta write -- early deadlines on Fri/Sat. I post a synopsis after I get this done.
ETA: 9:45ish.
Thx JGT for the work!
ReplyDeleteJay-thanks for the hard work. This is a great blog, but I'm sure you already know that.
ReplyDeleteThose of you in the know, do you think we will get more commitments before the season starts or will most of the rest wait to see how our season goes?
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! There is not much college football talk up here, at least not the good stuff.
ReplyDeletei may be asleep by 10:45 ET. i'm a sleepy boy tonite.
ReplyDeleteCincy-I think some will committ about 3-4 games into the season. I think this because, they are now seeing that some programs are filling up and there may not be room by signing day for many of them.
ReplyDeleteAU is already marked a few off their list that I thought they would take but they may not have any room.
(but he doesn't follow recruiting)
ReplyDeleteNot as much as it sounds Mon, not as much as it sounds.
ReplyDeleteWell, I'm grateful for any recruiting you do follow. Thanks for the info.
ReplyDeleteOnly when he's breathing, Monica.
ReplyDeleteWhat if Taylor and Luper can convince a group of highly rated prospects to come to AU by getting them to believe they, as a group, can make a difference in a program that other s will talk about for a while and they can take this program to another level instead of being a cog in a machine somewhere else.
ReplyDeleteWatch to see if we get a highly rated OL because of Lache and or Reed.
Exactly, Jet. Not sure why he's in such denial.
ReplyDeleteAre you talking about me in front of me?
ReplyDeleteWould you rather have me behind you?
ReplyDeleteMust ... resist ... urge ... can ... I ... do ... it?
ReplyDeleteYes!
I will have to refute all this on IM or something.
ReplyDeleteNo denial, I just have friends that call me and tell me what they hear.
They are good contacts though.
Rather be a front stabber than a back stabber.
ReplyDeleteBe sure to out the saran wrap on though.
ReplyDeleteI for one would much rather have a woman in front of me than behind me. That's just how I roll.
ReplyDeletewtc - if that all came true that would be perfect.
ReplyDeleteWhere is Eddie? He is the recruiting hound.
ReplyDelete"awww shucks"
ReplyDeleteJust please make it Yahoo and not, FB
I hate FB IM's.
He was on earlier this afternoon when we were going 90mph.
ReplyDeleteWTC - 18 tomorrow. Good times.
ReplyDeleteMon's gonna make WTC get his Yahoo on!
ReplyDeleteI think I have A LOT of faith in this staff to recruit very well. I think Chizik does also. If AU wins a few early to show the ship has been put back on course, (I am on the record stating I think we get to 6-1 or 7-0) and the recruits will see what this staff can do and come to us.
ReplyDeleteOk, eyes are burning. Good night all.
ReplyDelete'04 out!
later 04
ReplyDeleteNorm, I have only 12 Saturday.
ReplyDeletewtc - I agree with you, early part of the schedule is user friendly.
ReplyDeleteOkidoke, now out.
I have whatever it takes to mow my lawn.
ReplyDeleteNorm-You should do the 1/2 in Montgomery in October.
ReplyDeleteI'm saying 7 wins and maybe Music City. I hope they play well in those they don't win & that the highschool seniors really like what they see. I think they will.
ReplyDeleteWTC ...
ReplyDeleteYou usually have to pay double for that kind of action.
wtc - I've found VERY little information available about it online. Even the website is ridiculous. I'd be interested in at least knowing the route.
ReplyDeleteI think I'd look good with locks like Man Ram. Yep. That's what I think.
ReplyDeleteAw, that's just Norm being Norm.
ReplyDeleteI'm ready to get my ghost on! Friday night tradition. I watch Most Haunted and Greg makes fun of me!
ReplyDeleteGreg's not the only one.
ReplyDeleteI make fun of everyone. All the time.
ReplyDeleteYes, but Greg thinks I'm cute and you're just being mean.
ReplyDeleteKids,
ReplyDeleteNorm is telling the truth.
C'mon now, I'm not any meaner than you.
ReplyDeleteI never make fun of you.
ReplyDeleteI'm tellin Jet on you.
Knock it off, you two.
ReplyDeleteOr what? You gonna turn this car around Jet?
ReplyDeletei'm having flashbacks!
ReplyDeleteJet if you say, "Girls!" I'll cry.
New thread up.
ReplyDeleteStrange you mention most haunter Omnica. It is my dream job. Get myself a green light. Walk around in old houses. Say I heard something or something touched me. Get paid. Sweet!!!
ReplyDelete
