Lattimore on Auburn's pitch

It's obvious that Auburn approached Marcus Lattimore with a structured career plan.

Offensive coordinator Gus Malzahn made repeated references to Darren McFadden, whom he coached at Arkansas in 2006.

``I talked to him a lot about it," he said. ``I was going to be McFadden and (Michael Dyer) was going to be Felix Jones. That's how it was going to work."

Who will he be at South Carolina?

``I'll just be Marcus."

Ryan Smith. Big for a DB. Not sure what was up with him. He will fill a need for AU for sure.

I think tomorrow will be a bit disappointing, but we need to keep in mind we already have an amazing class and didn't have to pull any last minute antics to reel in the big dogs, we already locked them up and have kept all the top guys. War Eagle, and keep that in mind

Yeah..I was just wondering why the big time in state schools got on him late in the process...

He had monster numbers.

jhag..I think that D. Miller is spot on...Auburn has had a great class....no matter what happens tomorrow. Who here would have guessed top five at worst no matter what last year this time? I know I wouldn't have.

exactly right FSj, gotta give the staff props...i mean Chizik isn't the most famous guy around and they pulled this off, shocking

10:39 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

And all the schools in the top five right now (I think) are state schools, with the exception of Auburn.

That's an amazing job by Chizik and company.

Coleman to Ole Miss tomorrow and Reed to LSU... that's what I'm hearing from Molly dog.

Or maybe she was just telling me she needs to go out one last time.

Good night, Hotties.

One other thing jhag...I'm hearing that FSU may close in a BIG way tomorrow.

What say you?

Jeffrey Lee is reporting that things are fluid and new offers are being made....

To whom?

11:03 PM  
Blogger JgobravesHAG said...

Yeah FSJ, looking that way...
most consider FSU locks...
Christian Jones 5star #2 Lb in nation
#20 overall
Christian Green 4 star WR #7 in nation 61 overall

looking likely..
Demar Dorsey (UF flip) 5 star on ESPN #12 overall in nation
Lemonier...we all know about him

congrats to the auburn faithful on a fantabulous class. I am thoroughly impressed.

Dyer, et al, will be fun to compete with over the next several years.

UGA is having a bad bad bad time right now with decommite...details coming hold up

Kinda makes you wonder what Jimbo will do when he has a full recruiting season without the Bowden issue hanging over his head.

11:14 PM  
Blogger FSJ said...

Richt is toast, IMO.

I wouldn't be surprised to see him move on within the next two years.

11:14 PM  
Blogger JgobravesHAG said...

UGA had 5 star DaRick Rogers switch to UT

4 star LB Telvin Smith commit to FSU out of their backyard

Nickell Robey 4 star CB decommits

4 star WR Christian Green picks FSU over UGA
etc.
this all happened within like 72 hours

11:14 PM  
Blogger JgobravesHAG said...

Jimbo has a hell of a staff in place as well, I think he will shock A LOT of people, i mean cmon the guy had Nick Saban and Bobby Bowden as mentors

Well, we've had the devil's own day, haven't we?

Lick 'em tomorrow, though.

Night folks...Here's to dreams of 5 star recruits dancing in your heads..

11:35 PM  
Blogger ADP said...

Jhag - your age is showing.

FSJ - I can't believe it. Either you hacked the Rivals site or you pay $100 a year to be a member of the Auburn site. Am I correct?

11:38 PM

Well folks, it's officially National Signing Day.

Have any faxes come in yet?

I am in auburn, where I will rest briefly before getting things going tomorrow/today around 7:30 am. Thanks for all your well wishes on the driving end. I had a safe trip.

Great to hear JayG.

Thanks very much for all your excellent work today.

Blogger JgobravesHAG said...

Rivals (grain of salt) saying we regained the lead with Lemonier...well see bright and early.

Jay G glad you made it back safe, great coverage today what a long day man. Thanks again

Hot diggity, JGT safely back to Auburn. That's better news than any crootin stuff.

So, have we received any LOIs from the UK yet?

In 7 minutes, LOIs may start pouring in from the USVI; we got in 5* there we're after?

4:53 AM  
Blogger Tar Heel Tiger said...

I wish we could get Byran Jones without making it a package deal. If that's what it takes, Arky can have him. Those packages can turn out to be a bomb.

Besides, Arky is desperate. They'd offer Charles Manson if he brought along a decent long snapper.

Good morning and Happy NSD, Hotties! I just hope the "surprises" I've heard that Auburn is going get today are good ones! How did all you guys sleep last night?

For those got some Lost last night, are you filled with even more questions? I love the show, but don't have the mind to figure it out and I'm not one to scour the internet to try and find the answers. Hopefully, they will be revealed this season.

Glad to hear you arrived "home" safely, Jay G! Have fun today!

Around 6:45 last evening, seemingly out of the blue (unless, I missed something - which is highly possible!) FSJ said...
I make a heckuva chocolate pecan pie...

FSJ, can I put my order in now, please? BTW, I hope your birthday was a happy one!

5:50 AM  
Blogger LuvAU1968 said...

Tar Heel, thanks for the link! Jay G, thanks for the article! I hope Lattimore does well at South Carolina and I hope he does spark a renaissance - except, of course when they play Auburn! I hope Auburn's defense shuts him down!

Morning, Hotties! I am up getting ready for my trip back to B'ham from Nashville. I am a little stressed I won't have internet access until about 2 pm. But, I will be making phone calls! Here's to getting everyone you want for Recruitmas. You got your orange & blue glasses on?

Alright, today is the day. Bring on these talented kids who I've never heard of except reading in here.

Jet - that's hilarious.

Cincy - I ran over my orange/blue glasses with the car. Then I got in the other car and ran over them again.

Off to work we go.

Good morning everyone. Lost is so frustrating, all they did was raise more questions. I can't wait for that show to be over with so I can stop watching.

Today begins a great new era in Auburn Football. Enjoy the ride everyone.
