2011 Recruiting Thread

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

If these guys end up staying and sign next month, it more than makes up for the fiasco that was Chris Martin.

If Lynch commits that would be a huge pick up (again) since he committed earlier in the year then backed out and went with FSU. I hear that he's planning to enroll early wherever he chooses to go, so if he does commit to ND this time it's for good, lol. I wonder how much playing opposite Tuitt during the AA game had on his decision to reopen?

I have no idea, but Lynch looked like Bruce Smith out there, he was throwing All American Linemen aside like they were toddlers.

I hope this all comes together for the Irish.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Couple of nuggets for UofL:

* 3/4* RB Andrew Buie will be visiting UofL this weekend. He is set to visit Auburn next weekend and supposedly these are his final two schools in which he is choosing from.

* DaMarcus Smith's early enrollment is on hold as the NCAA continues to hold things up. Not sure what the clearinghouse is waiting on, but thus far DaMarcus is not in school.

* Rumors flying around(especially forums dedicated to a team that wear blue and white) that DaMarcus will open up his recruiting, but all sources indicate that this is not the case and no where has it been shown that DaMarcus has even said anything to that effect. In fact, he has stated that he is still strongly committed to UofL.

As for I. Williams, I really do not think Syracuse was in the running for him. The only reason we stayed in it for as long as we did is that His Parents are SU Alums and probably threw SU a bone by keeping them in it

Lynch is Irish.......If Tuitt keeps his commitment, this is going to be quite the defensive haul..

Its like Christmas morning almost everyday. If Tuitt does stay on board(which I think he will) this defense has the potential to conjure up flashbacks of Stonebreaker, Stamms, Pritchett, and Zorich!.

The only thing that could top this recruting class, is if we keep Tuitt and steal Amir Carlisle from Stanford!

Carlisle is either USC or ND. Rumor has it that ND is strong in the mix for Huggins and are trying to juggle Carlisle at the moment. Kelly is flying out to meet Carlsisle before signing day but he's at USC this weekend.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

The National Champs should close as strong as anybody in the nation this year.

Most feel that AU will close out with TE Brandon Fulse, DB Marcus Roberson, S Erique Florence, DT Gabe Wright, DE Ray Drew, LB/DL Devaunte Sigler, Texas commit OT Chrisitan Westermann (if Jeff Grimes stays as OL Coach), and 2 backs out of the group of Isaiah Crowell, Marlin Lane, Andrew Buie, Savon Huggins, or Tre Mason. Auburn should finish hovering around the Top 5 yet again.

Also..word on da skreet is that top 2012 athlete Travis Blanks, out of Tally, could commit next week during our huge recruiting weekend/NC celebration in Auburn.

Re: 2011 Recruiting Thread

Also...one side note...don't look for 4 star ATH Kris Frost to be an Auburn Tiger. Word I got from those in the know while I was in Scottsdale was apparently Frost was basically a silent commit, then told the coaches he was going to Michigan and completely cut off talking to any of our coaches for a while. After Rich Rod got fired, he decided he wanted to use AU as a "back up plan" and our coaches apparently said no dice. That's why after he committed publicly, there was news that he wasn't added to the class just yet. Most likely, Frost isn't going to Auburn.

I read we probably have a better shot with Huggins then we do with Carlisle, but I will take both.

Most what feel that?

I think if ND doesn't press for Carlisle, they will lose him. Kelly would rather have Huggins, but I highly doubt Huggins goes to ND. The need 1 more RB in this class. They are pretty thin at that position.

Yeah, I thought it might have just been regurgitated dreams from Itat. Good luck.

He was never a silent commit. The insiders on our side were telling us back in November that Auburn folks were conceding Frost to Michigan, and that he would most likely be committing to Michigan no matter who the coach was (he grew up a Michigan fan, his room is covered in UM stuff, etc). Auburn moved on, assuming it was over, and around Wednesday during Army Bowl week, the uncertainty surrounding Michigan got to him and he made the switch to Auburn, but AU's coaches had already moved on (Calloway's switch to Auburn compounded that).

In the end, our guys agree with your guys, it's unlikely he goes to Auburn; was supposed to visit this weekend to firm things up, but apparently it didn't happen. Who knows where he goes now. Hoke's gotten in touch with him, so Michigan could still be the team in the end. Hard to say.

I just hope he still listens when Michigan calls. They could really use him in this class.
