With our luck he will choose somebody else. But never count out Ole Miss if they have any money left or school girls willing to do whatever.

Yeah, I think it's Auburn. He grew up an Auburn fan. I think we still wind up with a top 20 class. 2014 and 2015 is when I think we will really see the results of CBJ's efforts in recruiting. It just takes time to build the relationships to pull in the 4 and 5 star kids.

What happened to all the optimism yesterday? All of a sudden everyone is saying Auburn-lock. I think we have a chance at him. The timing makes me think that he saw Barber commit yesterday, realized he would be entering a crowded backfield, and decided Tennessee with its best-in-country o-line was the place to be. But who knows. I just don't think it's a sure thing he picks Auburn.

AU also signed a top juco RB this year that is already enrolled. They also have 3 returning 4* RBs IIRC.
If its his dream school then there is a good chance he is not looking at PT as a factor....you just never know about a kids reasons sometimes. Santos didnt fit Texas' 4-3 as well as he would have fit UTs 3-4 and he was 99.9% committed to UT. But it was his dream school and they offered very late and he was no priority for them and it was clear.........a lot like Ford and AU IMO..........You just never know.

This is a very important recruiting battle here. Jones needs to get a highly rated kid out of the state of Alabama... If he wins that battle, that's going to be a strong statement... If not, he's going to have to rely on his 2014 class to make a statement with.

I just got an email that told me he was telling people affiliated with UT and UT media yesterday and as late as last night that he was not announcing or doing anything this early........this is AU.
Sorry for the bad news.....Hope I am dead wrong.
Like I said a few days ago: Bell is our Ford and Carr is our Lawson.
