AUBURN UPDATES

Some quick updates on the Auburn Tiger Football scene include

* A-day game set for April 18th --that is a push back of about a month from previous A-day games under Coach Tuberville. Allows the new staff and the players to get better connected before they began practice

* McCalebb to enroll at Auburn on Wed.---that is a home run as the guy can fly and will have 4 years available ---he just finished up prep school at Hargrave and is considered the #1 running back in prep school this past year. He played high school ball at Ft. Meade in Fl.

* Randle to attempt to set new visitation date since his father could not make the trip with him this past weekend---stay tuned to see when AU may get that visit from the #1 receiver prospect in the Nation.

* Auburn is continuing to broaden the recruiting base and talking to players around the Southeast that had not been pursued by the former coaching staff. --We will see if that pays dividends at this late hour in the process.

* Corey Gaines is worth pursuing---HD Matters has talked to "folks on the ground" at Godby High School in Tallahassee where Gaines is a start OL/DL player and recently made All-American honors---reliable sources indicate he is a "good kid-well behaved" and would qualify academically without issue. Auburn had showed interest in Gaines back last year under Tuberville but had apparently decided not to continue pursuing him---the new staff has different ideas and have set up an official visit at Auburn for the 4 star DL player. Arkansas and Ole Miss are the other schools making offers for Gaines.

Stay tuned for more information as soon as it happens---War Eagle!!
