Do Tiger fans want Lattimore or Seastrunk more?
Good luck w/ Jeffcoat. If he ain't an Auburn Tiger, I definitely don't want him in the SEC.
Do Tiger fans want Lattimore or Seastrunk more?
@Texas folks --- What do you guys know about (QB) Cam Newton? Auburn picked him up from Blinn College in Texas. He's a Georgia native that signed with Florida initially but left UF after getting into trouble. (He was Tebows backup)
He led Blinn to the JUCO national championship. Anybody out there know anything? Dude is a physical freak. 6'6" 247 and runs a 4.53. A legit dual threat that looks to be Auburns starter at QB next year.
His past seems to be behind him, and I'm getting giddy after watching some of his highlight packages.
(Not trying to hijack your thread TFloss)
Thanks
I want Lattimore, but the sentiment is spread evenly. Both guys would fit into the offense
Auburn already has a slasher type in Onterrio McCalebb who played well this year despite being an undersized freshman. He won SEC Freshman of the week in Sept and was piling yards until he ran into injury problems. Lache would be 3rd string behind Mario Fannin and Onterio in Malzahns scheme.
Simply, Latt has a chance to start and split carries with Dyer, filling the void left by Ben Tate (who'll be another AU entry into the NFL). If Lache comes, he'd see lots of special teams (returns) and clean-up duty behind Fannin and McCalebb.
While Dyer is a bruiser, Latt also is a proven passcatcher. This, for me, is what makes Latt even more valuable, especially in the AU spread.
Whatever the case, there are plenty of carries/catches to go around on a team that wants to run 80+ plays a game.
I guess I want all three, but it ain't gonna happen. I keep hearing that Dyer and Lache don't get along, but Laches cousin signed with Auburn and he went to camp there so he's familiar.
Lattimore is being visited by JoPa himself this weekend. Penn St is still very much in the battle with USCe and AU for his services.
No worries, I think this is a legit question as it relates to the greater recruiting picture. I actually discussed Cam Newton this weekend with a girl I know who currently attends Blinn (she's well-versed in sports). I don't really know anything more than what you've stated above, but she attested to the size of the guy since she had a class with him. She said he's tall like a basketball player but built like a football player. I told her I was relieved that he didn't commit to Oklahoma and she stated she wouldn't be surprised if he started at Auburn due to the fact that he was a man amongst boys at the JUCO level. She said he's a lot of fun to watch.

The woman knows football. If you watch his highlights, that's exactly what he looks like, a man amongst boys. He was the highest rated JUCO QB according to Rivals. I seriously doubt he would have decided on Auburn if Malzahn hadn't told him he would start. He ran a similar offense at Blinn, as well as at Florida.
Thanks TFloss - I'll post if I hear anything UT related - I loooooove me some recruiting
Jackson Jeffcoat cancelled his visit to Florida this weekend, per ESPN.

Urban Meyer did NOT make an in-home visit with Jordan Hicks this weekend. As of today, Texas looks solid with him and Jeffcoat.

Unless USC makes an incredible hire, Texas probably has Jeffcoat and Hicks locked up.
With his Florida trip cancelled, Jeffcoat decides to make a visit to Oklahoma on 1/22. This kid is just insistent on getting his five visits in. This one worries me a bit since his sister is already committed to play basketball in Norman. We shall see...
http://espn.go.com/blog/big12
(Scroll down a bit to see the tidbit on Jeffcoat)
Little bit of Corey Nelson news (according to Gerry Hamilton and Rivals)...
http://rivals.yahoo.com/ncaa/footbal...y-Nelson-76952
He's got an official visit scheduled for Tennessee this weekend (the "hostesses" will surely take care of him), North Carolina on 1/22, and possibly a fifth visit to Oklahoma or Texas on 1/29. Many Aggies believe he's a solid verbal and just taking vacation time at the expense of other schools, but the result of the Independence Bowl (44-20 spanking to Georgia) has me thinking he's serious about looking around.
Almost no point on playing the guessing game with Hicks and Jeffcoat. They're just going to be drama queens untill they're tired of it and decide on a school.
gerry hamilton doesnt work for rivals anymore does he?, i thought he left for the TOS (scouts)
you can't really fault jeffcoat or hicks, jeffcoat actually hates the attention, hasnt said anything interesting about his recruitment, ever. he's got a sister at OU, dad at houston and he's taking his time
hicks that dude has received death threats in ohio for even considering going out of state, its better to wait till signing day than to commit, decommit, lie to people or transfer later on
now seastrunk thats a guy with reported character issues
Texas isn't getting him, so it doesn't have to worry. A lot of the high profile recruits come with baggage but Seastrunk tops the cake.
Texas WR, Dan Buckner, was arrested in College Station last night. He's apparently dating a girl down there and it appears as if this is a result of a fight between the two. The neighbors of his girlfriend called the police, cops show up and Buckner refuses to get in the police car because he's pissed and feels as if he didn't do anything. Criminal trespassing and resisting transport/arrest can be bogus charges that cops give out at their discretion (especially to a black Longhorn in Aggie Land). I doubt much comes of this, but it sucks and I'm disappointed he put himself if in that position.

OU was after this guy bg time if the sooners would have goten him he would start this up coming year....looks to be the real deal
Wow, I'm surprised the Tigers got him if the Sooners were after him . My only guess as to why that would be is because Auburn runs an offense he's more familiar with, and is closer to home.
so what i hear is OU is hiring Jim Jeffcoat, even though theres a new rule about this- you cant hire a family member 2 years before or after arrival on campus. I guess the rule is not in effect yet
not good for texas anyway
with the recent attrition still might have 1 scholarship left even if texas adds one more for 10, looking for some o-line help or corey nelson

If Texas can only get one, then I think they're better off with Hicks. However, Hicks will announce in front of friends, coaches, family, and students which signals it might be for Ohio State.
Damn, this last few weeks since D. White committed have been downright ty. If we don't land at least one of these two it'll be really ty.
I believe that rule is only applied in college basketball. I could be wrong, of course.
I'm surprised to see that Bob Stoops potentially hiring Jim Jeffcoat is hardly being talked about on SoonerFans.com. Regardless of the outcome of his father's situation, I still think Jackon makes this decision for himself. a.) How many high school age kids want to play for their father and/or have their father work at the same school that they attend? b.) Oklahoma has never been much of a player for Jackson Jeffcoat and I'm sure he knows where he's going by now. He wouldn't even be visiting Oklahoma this weekend if it weren't for Florida telling him "we're out of scholarships." I'd be lying if I said I wasn't worried, but he wants to take his final visit and he's already visited everyone else. This visit is, esentially, by default.
DMX...where have you heard this? I haven't read anything that says when, where or how Jordan will commit. That doesn't seem at all like his style.
ty? Or slow? I think the Horns have been doing just fine. No de-commits. Muschamp is staying. Texas will land one of them (if not both).
Lache Seastrunk to announce 1/27 at the Temple HS gym.
http://blog.oregonlive.com/ducks/201...announcem.html
Looks like South Carolina is in good standing with Marcus Lattimore. Found it interesting he will commit on 2/2 (after Seastrunk). I always felt like it would be the other way around.

Reading that the hire may not happen now. If so then Texas probably just shot right back to the top.
Here's a list of guys from the 2011 class that will be attending the Texas Junior Days in February (out-of-state prospects on top). As we all know, these are subject to change and these are the guys who have publicly stated they will be in attendance. It's safe to assume many others will be there as well.
