ATH Ryan White, 5-11, 185, Tallahassee, Fla/Lincoln HSYou already know by now that Auburn loves recruiting high-school quarterbacks. White is in that group. He was a fast and creative play-maker under center. It's clear from watching tape, though, that his future isn't at quarterback. Guys like this can turn into a wideout, kick returner, cornerback or safety. Where will White settle? Defense seems like the most likely destination. Rivals.com and Scout.com rate him as a three-star prospect.
OL Chad Slade, 6-6, 315, Moody/Moody HS
Slade is among Auburn's most low-profile signees. He played for an average Class 5A program that isn't known for churning out quality recruits. Slade is a large young man who simply overpowered most opponents in high school. He doesn't seem particularly fast or skilled, but Auburn coaches place plenty of emphasis on effort. Slade is that guy. He works his first block and moves on to the second without hesitation. He focused on defensive line and basketball until his senior season, so his career along the offensive front is just getting started. Rivals.com and Scout.com rate him as a three-star recruit.
FIRST!
ReplyDeleteYo.
ReplyDeleteDANG YOU SCOTTIE
ReplyDeleteLet's Do This!
ReplyDeleteGOTCHA SLADE! WELCOME!
ReplyDeleteJay G, man with the plan. Every hour on the hour.
ReplyDeleteLove the hourly....maybe I'll get 'some' work done.
ReplyDeleteDid y'all get that JustinTV is ahead of ESPNU 360?
Good work, JayG!
ReplyDeleteYour effort mirrors that of Chiz and crew.
War Eagle!
come on Reed...get that signed LOI in!
ReplyDeleteI don't know why, but Trovon's one of my favorites of the recruiting class. Him, Goodwin, Dyer, and Newton are huge pickups for Gus's offense!
JGT,
ReplyDeleteYou da man.
Also, if you watch ESPNU, you would think Nick Saban is the reason anyone signs anybody.
Makes me sick.
I'm hungry. What's for lunch?
ReplyDeleteThat goodness my job gave me a promotion to my current role. It makes it easier to watch ESPNU on the internet at work.
ReplyDeleteI love being a boss-type guy.
USC (the real one) just jumped short stuff in the rivals rankings!! mwahaha
ReplyDeleteLove the substance Jay G.
ReplyDeleteDon't brag too much, they're right on our heels.
ReplyDeleteI thought Ryan White and Chris Davis' highlight videos were two of the most impressive I've seen (FWIW). We've got some serious speed coming in.
ReplyDeleteEven without Trovon, this group of receivers looks good. I still hope we get him. I am wondering if we see a receiver or two become DBs.
ReplyDeleteSeanzie..you're right..They'll likely pass us..Surprising how those goons are racking up but I guess that program sells itself...I was just reporting their passing little nicky..Many bammers will kick their dogs based on that fact alone..That makes me happy.
ReplyDeleteOuch, Ole Miss is returning only 3 starters on Offense, that hurts, helps us though :P
ReplyDeleteWooo, about to go into a sugar induced coma.
ReplyDeleteThe UGA fans are going nuts about Richt and the loss of so many recruits on the blogs. They've always been an ungrateful bunch, but this griping is unbelievable. Gotta wonder about Rodney Garner's future too.
ReplyDeleteI got an I phone last week just to keep up with all this and I even like girls
ReplyDeleteRONNIE BROWN!
ReplyDeleteIs Chad Slade related to Chris Slade?
ReplyDeleteOr the band Slade?
With JG's previous assistance it seems that we have 23 on board with Bonomolo, Reed and Lemonier left.
ReplyDeleteThose 3 would equal 26. Wonder if wtc's mom knows of any others forthcoming? Wonder if that "big" surprise is still out there?
LEMONIER pick up in 6 minutes!
ReplyDeleteIs Lemonier going to announce live on ESPN or somewhere?
ReplyDeleteI'm back... waiting on Lemoiner
ReplyDeleteESPNU ... allegedly.
ReplyDeleteWelcome, Coffee Cup!
ReplyDeleteCMR and CTT had similar recruiting styles. It seems that today's kids need special attention.
ReplyDeleteWho didn't get their trophy just for showing up yet?
I'm gonna have to wait for lunch to watch Lemonier pick AU.
ReplyDeleteMerry Recruitmas, HOTTIEs!
ReplyDeleteI need this, c'mon Lemonier!!!
ReplyDeleteWE NEED THE LEMONADE MAN!
ReplyDeleteKeenan Allen to Da (Cal) Bears (he he he)
ReplyDeleteThis has been the BEST recruitmas i can ever remember
ReplyDeleteIt's not over yet, 4 letters to go.
ReplyDeleteCMR has had a lot of success recruiting. Anyone know what the deal is this year? It seems like they lost a lot of recruits late.
ReplyDeleteLardarious Phillips = Walter Tage
ReplyDeletehttp://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DPH4xIH8Zic
When life gives you lemons, make Lemonier come to Auburn.
ReplyDeleteHere comes Lemomnier....after the commercial with Katy Perry.
ReplyDeleteWalter Tate, that is.
ReplyDeleteESPU id headed to Hialeah HS
ReplyDeleteKaty Perry is skanky hot.
ReplyDeleteMy F5 button is catching hell today. WDE!!!
ReplyDeleteid or is.......
ReplyDeleteLemon to AU baby, sorry for my absence my phone died!
ReplyDeleteI like Skanky hot.
ReplyDeleteI wouldn't take Katy Perry home to momma, but I would take her home.
ReplyDeleteGosh, folks keep calling me about work stuff. Don't they know what today is?
ReplyDeleteI hate the term "motor." It's in my top 5 overused phrases in sports.
ReplyDeleteSmith and Phillips have been the only surprises so far. I wonder if there could be another.
ReplyDeleteSo what's up with Reed.
ReplyDeletewelcome coffee cup
ReplyDeleteSteve,
ReplyDeleteI bet wtc's mom would know
Jay already said there was...he's waiting to release the name.
ReplyDeleteI didn't care about "motor" until I saw Pat Sims circa 2007.
ReplyDeleteLemonier momentarily.
ReplyDeleteCal Smith will choose ... New Mexico!
ReplyDeleteCalvin Smith needs subtitles.
ReplyDeleteThanks DL. Looking forward to getting to know all of you, even the Korean ones!
ReplyDeleteSeanzie, Jay already said there was what?
ReplyDeleteso, if you could have a commitment from Lemonier or Katy Perry today stupup, who would you want?
ReplyDeleteNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGO LOBOS!
ReplyDeletei'm rooting for the lobos to get calvin! That'd be too funny..
ReplyDeleteLemonier, only because I am married. If I was single, maybe I would flip that.
ReplyDeleteA commitment to be named.
ReplyDeleteNot including: Lemonier, Bonomolo, Reed.
ReplyDeletedon't go around screaming "NOOO!" you're going to give me a heart attack!
ReplyDeleteYES! Los Lobos! HAHAHHAAHAHA...get some FSU
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico? Really?
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico????? Huh????
ReplyDeleteNew Mexico? Son of a...
ReplyDeleteWow...That is actually funny.
ReplyDeleteLemonier is imminent.
ReplyDeleteWho is the coach out at New Mexico? Seems to be doin a good job recruiting for a school no one cares about.
ReplyDeleteLemon time..
ReplyDeletewow...new mexico
ReplyDeleteWho IS this little twerp on ESPNU???
ReplyDeleteHope we don't lose Lemonier to New Mexico.
ReplyDeleteThe full windsor is killing me.
ReplyDeleteLEMONIER is on the clock.
ReplyDeletepre-emptive BEASLEY!!!
ReplyDeleteSo much for Lemonier going w/Smith. He's not going to NM
ReplyDeleteLemoiner to AU... I can feel it.
ReplyDeleteCalvin Smith basically said suck it to: FSU, UT, and Bama
ReplyDeleteLEMON TO...
ReplyDeleteWTF why would Calvin Smith go to New Mexico
ReplyDeleteUniversity of AUBURN!
ReplyDeleteUniversity of Auburn? I think he means Auburn University.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the University of AUBURN?
ReplyDeleteEXCellent!
ReplyDeleteWOO HOO I CALLED IT
ReplyDeleteGET YOU SOME NEW MEXICO!!!!!!!!!!! GO LEMON GO!
ReplyDeleteOMG! We love lemonade!
ReplyDeleteofficial...way to go Corey!
ReplyDeleteThat's a big one there.
Reed's next!
Damn, he's going to somewhere called
ReplyDeleteUniversity of Auburn
YEEEESSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteWe won a hat dance!!!!!!!!!
I think we should consider renaming the school to avoid any further confusion.
ReplyDeleteHat Trick...University of Auburn....Still excited.
ReplyDeleteWhat's with the University of AUBURN?
ReplyDeleteAuburn is more than a university. It is a state of mind. So,yeah, maybe it should be the University of Auburn.
ReplyDeleteWooo hooooo ..The University of Auburn!!!!!
ReplyDeleteGlad that knowing the name of the school isn't a requirement for making a commitment.
ReplyDeleteWhoo Hoooo! Lemon-ade at Toomers never tated so good.
ReplyDeleteWar Eagle!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteVery articulate and impressive kid. What a way to finish the class!! These kids all seem like top notch kids, not just good athletes.
ReplyDeleteWay to go Chiz and AU coaches!!!!
Dude is on national tv and probably nervous... he can say University of Auburn all he wants...
ReplyDeleteHaving a Pat Dye introduction moment... U of Auburn.
ReplyDeleteCongrats Stupup... you can rest easy tonight.
ReplyDeleteOfficial Lemonier to AUB
ReplyDeleteAnd FINALLY Univ of Auburn comes out on top of the hat trick!!!
ReplyDeleteMan, I'm tired of losing commitments to the University of Auburn. Those guys must be cheating.
ReplyDeleteWould have like to see us get Calvin Smith, too, but who can compete with New Mexico?
ReplyDeleteHe could have said the country of auburn for all I care.
ReplyDeleteI'm pumped he is a tiger.
New thread UPZ for Lemonier.
ReplyDeleteWhat in the world will the 12 o"clock hour hold? I might hyperventilate.
ReplyDeleteOl' Jimbo missed 2 possibilities right there.
ReplyDeleteso was that our surprise or do Ihave something else to look forward to (whats up with Joel.... aint got no fax machine on the left coast?)
ReplyDeleteSo we get Lemonpledge to commit and then follow it up with a commercial where Barkley says "little jocks". I guess that evens things out.
ReplyDeleteDidn't Dyer say University of Auburn too?
ReplyDeleteAU GETTIN' SOME!!
ReplyDeleteJustin TV is categorized as "adult" where I work!
ReplyDeletePatrick Fain Dye, in his introduction speech called "University of Auburn" one of the special places to coach at. I don't think I've really forgiven him for that.
ReplyDeleteMY GOD I heard my puter screaming all the way to my living room. It's a long way from puter room to living room.
ReplyDeleteWe gat another big one way to go Chiz
and thanks JGT
