If Julio Jones (any relation?) taught us anything, it’s that you can commit to one school but model for another.
We all know we’re doing alright, recruiting-wise. But when you’re so to close, these sorts of stories are annoying.
The only camp that Mike Jones had a chance to attend was Auburn’s. The 6-foot-2.5, 200-pound 3 [...]

Slipping Between Our Paws
By J.M. Comer
While breaking down and looking over this week’s signing day haul, it’s hard to see the silver lining for Auburn. I tried to find positives, some way to spin it — but I’m having trouble. Auburn was knocked down by Alabama’s signing class. The Crimson Tide took over control of Alabama, burning Auburn [...]

Snow In Auburn

Why Enrique, Why?
By J. Henderson
Somehow I wasn’t expecting this. Then I realized why: it makes no sense.
Enrique Davis — isn’t he the nephew of Too Live Crew’s Luke Skywalker? Swear I heard that — tells Rivals.com that though he “will always be an Auburn Tiger” in his heart, the prospect of Tony Franklin’s Spread Eagle offense has [...]
