aupops2 9 Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Looks like Demarcus Walker is a heavy Gator lean, followed by FSU. We just can't seem to crack that Jacksonville market. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gilstein211345162940 0 Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 one of my friends is an assistant south of Atlanta. He said an Auburn coach stopped by to look at this kid. They play in a tough region so he's gone up against good talent. 6'5, 250 DE as a junior. He should beef up a little this year because they finally have someone running the weight training program. The same team has a few other prospects coming up. Look up Trae Bonner as well. He's a 2014 recruit but will probably get looks from several big programs.

aupops2 9 Posted May 7, 2012 Author Share Posted May 7, 2012 The safety position will get some strong attention over the next couple of weeks. It is believed that two pure safeties, the type that a big enough to knock your clock off, are needed in this class. Vonn Bell is a prime target, but is highly coveted across the landscape. Interest is rising in Cortez Leonard, another 4*. There are other big names out there, but we are not in the hunt at this time. Look for some movement here.

aupops2 9 Posted May 8, 2012 Author Share Posted May 8, 2012 Perhaps the "stars are starting to align themselves" in the QB universe. CSL was on the left coast evaluating Hayden Rettig yesterday, Conner Mitch has named USCe his leader, Cody Thomas has named OU his leader, and Cooper Bateman has a top five, including us. Bateman will probably look at the depth chart and go to uat or Washington. I think kolumbo is right; Rettig. Still think Buchanan is a possibility, because CSL is high on him, but he is getting attention from EVERYWHERE!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to worry, he's been leaning there all along. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aupops2 9 Posted May 10, 2012 Author Share Posted May 10, 2012 Look for some solid information from evaluations at QB, safety, and tight end late tomorrow or over the weekend. Progress being made on all three. We're getting some good interest from OL prospects like Pocic, but the dilemma is where to put them. We really need pure OGs or centers. Coach Grimes' reputation is wide-spread, nation-wide. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was really getting tired of Auburn being a coaching pipeline to Texas. Hopefully Grimes has shut that down for a bit! Grimes didn't shut it down. Chizik did. He got the facilities upgraded to second to none, he gives the coaches room to do their job, and he has been adamant about paying top dollar for assistants. That creates an incredible working environment, and the success we're getting ready to have on the field over the next few years will undoubtedly open doors for those assistants to take promotions. And putting assistants into head coaching positions will make Chizik all the more attractive to top coaching candidates in looking for a boss to get them to the next level. He truly does not get enough credit for the remarkable job he's done on the Plains. And the best part is that he sincerely doesn't care. War Damn Chizik!

aupops2 9 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 This is the final week of the four week evaluation period. The coaches will spend the next week finalizing evaluations, comparing noted from visits to schools, and assessing the "fit" between prospectand our needs. Also, they will now have a better feel for our chances of landing each target. Next week will dovetail smoothly into Big Cat Weekend, where some of the pieces to the 2013 class picture puzzle will come together. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aupops2 9 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 As reported in other threads, coaches visited Alvin Kamara (RB) today. He's the kid that received 105 separate pieces of mail from uat IN ONE DAY!! They also went to see Trey Matthews (S), uga commit. Kamara, Matthews, and Foster have stated they want to play college ball together. Also, Cortez Leonard (4*S by 247) lists us in his top three, but doesn't have an offer yet. Speculation is that we will take at least two safeties, not DBs, but true smash-mouthed safeties; right now the candidates appear to be Matthews, Vonn Bell, and Leonard in that order. Lots happening today; all good. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aupops2 9 Posted May 14, 2012 Author Share Posted May 14, 2012 Probably the two prospects getting the most rave reviews out there right now are M. Adams and Carl Lawson.

As I've stated in other posts, I believe the CBVG defense is going to be one of our strongest recruiting tools on it's own! When kids see the development of KF with the assistance of CSL the QB's are going to be beating our door down as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
