AU Recruiting: Top 5 S Prospects

the future is bright at safety with freshmen Zac Etheridge and Michael McNeill, but AU definitely needs to add some depth this year…
1. Karnell Hatcher (6-2/186) Delray Beach, FL – with Dee Finley off the board (temporarily or for good) Hatcher is as good as you’re going to get for a fall back plan. [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 CB Prospects

AU will be left pretty depleted after the 07 season, so this is a big need area…i dropped Bryant from the mix as that just ain’t happening.
1. Janoris Jenkins (5-10/167/4.69) – don’t let those measurables fool you. this kid is a straight up baller. he’s bigger and faster than listed and covers like [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 LB Prospects

a bit of a need position for AU this year, there’s a ton of good ones…
1. Jerrell Harris (6-3/220/4.5) Gadsden, AL – near the top of the list of guys AU needs to seal the deal with. big, fast, strong and a good pass rusher as well. need this guy.
2. Etienne Sabino (6-3/228/4.6) [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 DT Prospects

not much change here as DT Recruiting has slowed a bit…
1. Charles Deas (6-4/350/5.3) Ft. Lauderdale, FL – need the purple monster to come in and contribute immediately.
2. Templeton Hardy (6-4/295/5.2) Sardis, MS – plays recruiting pretty close to the vest but would be an outstanding steal out of Mississippi.
3. Cordian Hagans [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 DE Prospects

pretty sure Auburn would like to get two good ones this year…
1. Robert Quinn (6-5/245/4.6) North Charleston, SC – per last updates, says he likes AU alot. will definitely be an uphill battle against the likes of USCe, Clemson, UF and UTe. would be an enormous steal.
2. William Green (6-4/200/4.8) Hoover, AL – bama [...]

StatCheck: Auburn Defense

instead of doing individual reports on AU defensive players (like the Aairon Savage one) i decided to combine it into one concise report for your reading pleasure. being a somewhat young team on defense, don’t look for a ton of movement on the career charts defensively this season. one major exception would be [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 OL Prospects

with today’s news of Jemarcus Hardrick’s decomit, OT becomes a higher priority…
1. Antoine McClain (6-6/317/5.4) Anniston, AL – still my favorite guy on the O-Line. don’t expect him to move unless he commits to AU or elsewhere.
2. Matt Patchan (6-6/247/4.7) Seffner, FL – wasn’t on the previous list as i wasn’t positive on his [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 WR Prospects

with Damion Allen committed, but FSU looming in the background, AU is likely looking to take 2-3 more WRs.
1. DeAndre Brown (6-6/208/4.62) Ocean Springs, MS – Auburn is still in the top 3 or 4 for this stud receiver. would be an enormous pickup and addition to the current corps.
2. Darvin Adams (6-2/181/4.55) Kennesaw, [...]

AU Top 5 Recruits: RB

the list took a blow when 5* Brandon Barnes committed to NC State yesterday, but is still extremely strong.
1. Eric Smith (5-10/239) Seffner, FL – this ranking depends on Smith’s ability to bounce back from last season’s injury and show the same explosiveness in his senior season. i haven’t heard much about him [...]

AU Top 3 Recruits: Quarterback

i had to drop this list to 3 as unless others emerge at the July camp, these seem to be the only three Auburn is actively recruiting, after receiving Deron Furr’s commitment.
1. Aramis Hillary (6-2/205/4.68) Johnston, SC – moves up one spot from the last rankings. was a big success at the USCe camp [...]
