Whitaker chooses Auburn

Hey everyone. Defensive tackle Jeffrey Whitaker of Warner Robins, Ga., has decided to sign with Auburn on National Signing Day.

On why he chose Auburn: ``It just felt comfortable. There was no question. I couldn't turn away from it. It just felt like home."

On what he wants to do on the field: ``I'm going to be that three technique so hopefully I can move some guys out of my way and make my way to the quarterback or running back."

On his relationship with other Auburn recruits: ``The class that's coming in -- there's a pretty big bond. We've been keeping in touch for quite some time. They've been keeping me on the radar."

On the decision-making process: It wasn't tough. It was aggravating. Everybody was calling you and this and that. When I was little, I said I wanted to be a rock star celebrity. After this, I just want to be a simple person. It wasn't tough. Pressure is whatever you make of it. There wasn't any pressure. It was just aggravating from time to time."

On his training regimen: ``I've got to run. I've been eating, but I've got to run now. You just made me go from happy to sad. I don't even know what to say anymore! I have to run, train, sweat, hydrate. Same 'ol, same 'ol."

On living the dream: ``It's a dream that I probably never though would happen. We came up hard. We didn't have the Nike brands. I can remember a day coming home and having holes in my shoes. I'd look in my closet and there were like four outfits. My mom, I wish she was here. About five and a half years ago, she passed. It's a dream, but I'm not done. I'm looking to keep getting better. Hopefully one day, when it's all said and done, then I can evaluate myself as a player."

On the effect of Tracy Rocker on his decision: ``It was a big one. That's the main thing when you're making a decision like that -- who you're going to be around a lot. The head coach is nice and everything. Your position coach is going to be like your head coach, you'll spend time with him, learn a lot from. I think he's a guy who's going to have my back 100 percent."

On his plans for 2010: ``I always say when you get the redshirt, it's determined by how hard you work during the offseason. If I came in and 340 and overweight, yeah, I think I'd be redshirted. I'm pretty comfortable. I'll come in and make an immediate impact because I'll work my butt off and come in looking to do some great things."

1:25 PM

LUV The gap between the guard and tackle is called the B gap. If you are a defensive tackle lined up in the B gap, but shifted over a bit towards the guard, you're called a 3-technique.

More on the '3' technique:

A 3-technique tackle lines up between the offensive guard and tackle. A 3-technique tackle is supposed to run through his gap immediately. He is a 1-gap player. His job is not to block or get tied up in a block, but rather to be athletic and get himself into the offensive backfield and disrupt their plans. Because of this a 3-technique tackle is a lighter more athletic guy than a nose tackle, typically weighing more like 290 to 300 pounds.

Kenneth Carter. Not to get too deep into this issue, but I was told by 2 teachers at his school, where I travel about to about 2x per month. (I do business with the school) that he should make it. Now, I do not keep up with the grade issues of kids so I am not the expert. I can only go by what they say.

2:11 PM

I saw an article on the bleacher report that said Lattimore wouldn't come to Auburn because he is announcing at his church in South Carolina. You just can't argue with that logic.

2:12 PM  
Blogger wtc said...

The next DT to commit will be Bryan Jones. He called CHizik last night also to let them know he was coming.

He wasn't the only call Chizik got last night either.

2:12 PM  
Blogger Unknown said...

When we get Jones, we will be fine at the DT spot. What is the next big area of need, DB? We could definitely use another RB, but DB seems to be iffy depending upon Etheridge and Savage and how things work out with them.

2:14 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

Maybe his church is a place that he feels safe, and, since he is making the controversial decision to attend Auburn, he wanted to be someplace safe. Surely they won't boo him at a church, right?

2:15 PM  
Blogger Peter Frankenschmidt said...

See, you can easily argue with that logic. :)

2:15 PM

I think we could definitely use another DB or two....according to rivals "recruiting experts"....SC is a lock with Latt....they say it's not that bad for Auburn though because Latt tends to go down easy...but either way I feel like we have plenty of potential in the backfield!

2:22 PM  
Blogger wtc said...

Sunday was a day to shore up everybody on your list. AU coaches not only shored it up, they got more than they were looking for.

The feel REALLY confident in their list and also mayhave a surprise before it is all over. When Rivals gives the list out on Thursday, don't give up on the rankings yet. AU could have a few things happening after signing day.

2:23 PM

That's pretty big for a HS safety, isn't it? If (when) he grows and gets bigger, does he stay at S?

Unless we were to have several players change their mind at a key position, like the linemen, we should be fine with what we have now. I would like to see more depth at DB and RB, but we won't be in the fire drill situation we were last season.

There is also the wide receivers, some of which can play DB or RB. I think we actually have more wide receiver commits than we need, but they are all quality recruits, so that works for me.

If WTC's mom heard correctly while eavesdropping on the coaches-recruits Sunday evening conversations ....AU is headed to a #2 or 3 recruiting class.

More importantly ..these seem to be the kids that the coaches want, probably all will qualify and they fill our needs as well as possible.

What else is there?

If WTC's mom is right, then Turfman was right and the scouting services are wrong on several accounts.

If all turns out like Mama WTC says then I think we need to send her some flowers for her good work.

I think we have a shot at #3, but Texas seems to be pretty solid at #2. Nobody will overtake Florida for #1.

If we do get everyone we want there won't be room for anyone after signing day.

Acutally the recruiting news I've been reading have been saying that all of UF's recruits are de-committing, and are committing to be grayshirts at Auburn.

Of course I wrote that news myself.

Cecil Hurt on F-baum: If Alabama decides to offer Shon Coleman a scholarship, they will get him.

Cincy - short answer...the problem is I'm stuck on a PC at work and not a Mac.

This doesn't happen on a Mac. I had to reboot the computer to get the mouse/cursor unstuck. There was no inherent problem with the mouse.

AAAARRGGHHH- looks like lil ol Auburn is going to have to settle for a UAT reject. boo hoo.

JG, you driving through Knoxville on the way to/from South Carolina? if so holla.

Cecil Hurt is the HOMER of all HOMERS. Might as well ask Shane what he thinks while they are at it.

Hurt is full of it. He has an offer. Why would a 5* lineman not have an offer if you are looking for a lineman?

3:39 PM  
Blogger CHB said...

Yeah I guess we will have to settle for all the rejects that put us in the top 3. When you look at it I will take rejects all day.

All American Rejects? sounds like a band.

THT, your issue is likely the OS. Get Linux.

Scottie, you have no idea what your talking about. That would be a stupid name for a band. Who would listen to a band called the All American Rejects. No one likes rejects.

Go sit in the corner.

CH=B, coaches don't go by the star ratings. Also, Coleman wasn't nearly as good of a player a month ago when he was four stars.

Do I need to send the Finebaum chart out again?

Cecil Hurt...pffft...anybody with a name like that...well, his name probably describes his whole athletic career.

Oh my bad I forgot. When he started at 3*'s he could barely walk and chew gum.

I have seen people use the term "commitable offer" versus "offer". Is there something I am missing here? Is an offer not an offer or is it an offer to consider offering you a commitable offer? Seems strange to me. From what I hear, the evil was only offering an offer before, but now they are offering a commitable offer. Am I crazy or have I drifted off into Bambi land.

Wow....JG I would say that he posses the quality personality of an Auburn Man!

Steve ...

I figured it out ... it's like junior high school. The offer is when you send a friend to talk to the hot cheerleader. If Norm were to ask you to homecoming with him, would go you go? That is an offer.

When Norm mans up and goes and talk to the hot cheerleader and asks her to go to homecoming, that is a committable offer.

Unfortunately, the hot cheerleader told Norm she was taking visits and would let him know later. He's still waiting.
