Defensive coaches Kevin Steele and Rodney Garner helped secure the flip for the Tigers. Height is signee No. 19 and commitment No. 23 in an Auburn class ranked No. 5 in the SEC and No. 7 overall nationally on the Composite.

Could AU even field a team if one took away the Georgia boys?
Auburn is as close if not closer to most of those Georgia Boys than UGA is.
Closer to some not most.
AU is about 2 hours from Atlanta and UGA is about an hour from Atlanta, not much difference.
Columbus, Albany, Americus, Moultrie, Thomasville, Tifton, Valdosta and a large portion of S. Ga are closer to AU.
Could Clemson? USCe? TN?
Although Clemson has done well of late I think over the years AU has Clemson and those schools beat.
Last AU NC QB and Heisman winner -Newton. Last AU QB in NC game – Marshal.
Think of all the All SEC, All American and NFL players from GA – D Brown, C Lawson, M Adams, Spikes, Bryant, Rocker, Ronnie Brown, Slayton etc.
So Gus is one of the coaches weagle?
Some coaches encourage the players to wait until signing day to flip because it hurts the opposing school. It doesn’t leave the other staff the time or resources to focus on someone that might actually sign. It’s a dirty tactic and everyone knows who they are.

Can I do something nice for you this holiday season
where do I mail the case of tampons to?
Lol
NTFRT! Lol
The kid might have known, but the coaches didn’t. This is far different than sending a recruit to an opposing campus before signing day to try and persuade guys to flip…like several Bama guys have done in the past.
I don’t see any difference based on the comment you posted on the LSU article.
That’s because you are an idiot. I never accused the LSU flip of intentionally misleading them either. That was comments from the LSU fans. Kids will be kids, and some are immature and some legitimately change their mind at the last second. That’s not what I’m talking about and you know it.
Good Lord, that coming from an Alabama fan is totally laughable. Saban is the master of it.
It seems it’s laughable that an Auburn fan posted about it as well…
Why? Auburn’s staff recruits with class. Too bad you can’t say the same about Saban.
I’m pretty sure not a single person outside of Auburn has ever accused Auburn’s staff of “recruiting with class”
LMAO
Auburn has always recruited Georgia very well.But why are Georgia fans butt hurt. He wasn’t committed to Georgia.
Comparing Auburn D to Miami D. Sounds like a wise move for the kid.
Georgia “fans” aren’t butt hurt. I never heard of the kid until I read the article. DawgsofWar asked a question, a useless question but a question all the same.
Not butthurt, I enjoy the UGA/AU rivalry.
dirtsouth – not really a question but an observation. Remove the talent from GA over the years and AU loses some of their success. A lot of major players from GA.
To be fair, the same can be said for alot of teams and states. For instance, FSU won the NC and then went to the playoffs with a qb from Alabama. Schools tend to recruit primarily in their backyard, and given Auburn’s close proximity to Georgia it stands to reason that they’ll have alot of Georgia players, especially considering the stronghold Saban has on Alabama recruits.
Yes Auburn recruits GA heavily, water’s wet, the Pope’s Catholic…
