Interesting Tidbits When There Isn’t Much to Talk About

This should be the last set of tidbits that include 2010 recruiting news. I sure hope it is. Enjoy.

• I'm about as tired of talking about recruiting as you probably are, and hopefully we can talk about real sports soon, but here are some more rankings.
• And more that are broken down by the SEC divisions. It just looks good to see Auburn on top of the West.
• And here's yet another SEC recruiting roundup.
• Here's a look at the number of signees from each state for all SEC teams. It must have been a down year for the state of Alabama, which is why Auburn had to settle for more in-state players. Alabama was going for the big dogs in Virginia.
• I'm sure you've all seen Saban's tirade after losing OL Spencer Region to Auburn.
• I just like this headline.
• If you were tired of looking at the list of 2010 signees, how about the signing class from 2005?
• What's to come in 2010 for Auburn football? This guy tells you.
• It's definitely not too early for a 2010 preseason ranking is it?
• How about Chris Low's pre-Spring SEC rankings? Did you know LSU is supposed to have a talented team?
• He also puts Ben Tate in his top 15 SEC players from this year. Darvin Adams better be in the top 10.
• Well at least Antonio Coleman made the top 10.
• In more important news, Auburn is up for best uniform in college football. Go vote now.
• But probably the best news of the pre-Spring, Zac Etheridge will be back to 100% by next season.
• Aairon Savage is glad to be back as well.
• Finebaum actually says something positive about Auburn, but Scarbinksy does not here or here, and then gives Alabama basketball coach Anthony Grant a pass for losing.
• CBS Sports reminds us that the basketball Tigers would have been one game out of first place in the West if they would have held on in Saturday's overtime loss to Arkansas.
• Lastly, Auburn plays Georgia (10-11, 2-6) tonight at Beard-Eaves Memorial Coliseum. If you live within 30 minutes of Auburn and think you can complain about the team or Lebo or whatever, why don't you actually show up to a game? Besides, the halftime show is one of the best I've ever seen...not kidding. We've seen what this team can do with a crowd behind their back, so if you want them to win, give 'em a crowd.

Interesting Tidbits Just Because

Just a few 'bits to get you through the day...

• Here are some pretty interesting notes and inner-talks about the 2010 class of recruits. Some are known. Some are shocking.
• You've seen the Rivals recruiting rankings, but these have a little more information. Auburn still beat Alabama in this one.
• Here are the recruiting rankings from just within the SEC.
• Rivals also gives two Auburn coaches a spot in their Class of 2010: Top 25 Recruiters.
• Chris Low talks about his top recruiters as well.
• And then he says Cam Newton is one of the top newcomers to watch in 2010 in the SEC.
• Woodbery gives us his list of impact players from this year's signees.
• Goldberg re-grades the men's basketball team after their OT loss to Arkansas, who now lead the SEC west.

Interesting Tidbits before Signing Day 2010

Hello, my name is the WarBlogler. You may have heard of me. I used to write a lot on this blog, but laziness sunk in after the bowl game. I apologize. I post news and thoughts on Twitter constantly though. You should follow me.

Anyway, here are some interesting pieces of literature for your Auburn University football recruiting and basketball pleasure. Oh, and there are a few pieces about the dynasty, too.

• As you probably already know, Auburn picked up a nice 4-star commitment yesterday from Jeffrey Whitaker. Mr. Whitaker is the 5th-best defensive tackle in the nation according to those guys who stare at high school students a lot. He chose Auburn over Georgia and Miami. Good choice.
• Charles Goldberg posted some video of the press conference following Whitaker's announcement. He kind of reminds me of Charles Barkley without the whole 'Auburn hates black people' thing. I'm talking about Whitaker, not Goldberg. Goldberg could think that about Auburn. I don't know. I've never met him. Note: Listen to Whitaker, but watch the kid in his lap.
• Rivals.com has updated their recruiting rankings, which will obviously look completely different after tomorrow, but for now they have moved the "No Chance with Chizik" Tigers to #3, which is one spot ahead of the dynasty. I'm not sure if it was Whitaker's commitment or Keenan Allen's de-commitment from Alabama that is the cause of this, but it's pretty dang funny if you ask me. Allen was Alabama's #1 commitment this year. That's a shame. A real shame.
• These rankings are obviously very subject to change, but an addition of another 5-star commitment would definitely solidify a top-4 spot for the Tigers. That addition could be Mr. Marcus Lattimore, the 5-star RB, who is announcing his intentions today at 5 pm CST at his church. He is choosing between Auburn and South Carolina as most of you know. The Gamecocks have the in-state advantage, but Auburn has the "why would you want to play at South Carolina" advantage.
