Rounding out the class

OK. So Joel Bonomolo's paperwork has been "cleared" and you know what that means?


OFFICIAL SIGNEE COUNTER: 27

Auburn's National Signing Day effort has concluded.

DE Joel Bonomolo, 6-3, 245, New Orleans, La./Fullerton C.C.
Bonomolo is pure speed. He out-classed offensive tackles in junior college by simply blowing by them on the outside. Bonomolo, on his best days, was unstoppable because of his unusual acceleration. He's listed at 245 pounds, but he seems thinner on tape. He looks like a very strong wideout. Bonomolo intrigued plenty of West Coast teams, but Auburn and Iowa State were the only BCS programs outside the Pac-10 to offer a scholarship. He's something of an enigma. Rivals.com rates him as a four-star recruit, though Scout.com bestowed only three stars.
