Flames are seen through the windows and coming out under the eaves of this house fire. This was a training fire event with the fire set and controlled by a fire department on a house that was donated for the purpose of being used to train local volunteer fire fighters.
No verbal commitment is final until the dotted line is signed. And even then, things can change in a heartbeat.
With the Auburn Tigers currently having 14 commitments for the upcoming recruiting class, the Tigers are currently No. 9 in the On3 industry rankings. But head coach Hugh Freeze still has a lot of room to fill his class. The Locked on Auburn podcast listed five players who could be candidates to change their current commitment and head to Auburn.
Host Zac Blackerby, speaking with Charlie5, host of the Top Button Podcast, spoke about five names who could be added to this already talented class.
Derek Smith of Selma is listed as the No. 2 athlete in the country by 247Sports, On3 and ESPN. He was the first name brought up on the podcast. He’s an Alabama commitment but the On3 predictor still lists the Tigers with a 28% chance of landing him, while 247Sports lists his interest in Auburn as “cool” rather than “none.”
The next name on the list is no stranger to Auburn fans. Antonio Coleman of Saraland, Ala. is a 4-star defensive tackle who initially committed to Alabama before switching his commitment to Auburn and then returning to Alabama. This recruitment will be one to watch all the way to the wire as anything can and will happen.
No. 3 is Elba, Ala. running back Alvin Henderson. He is currently committed to Penn State, but doubt remains if he actually leaves the south. On3’s predictor gives Auburn a 32% chance of landing Henderson. The recruiting site doesn’t exactly feel Henderson’s commitment to the Nittany Lions is rock solid.
Henderson is also a priority as the Tigers took no running back in the most recent class either through the high school or the transfer portal route. The four-star is also being pursued by Florida State, and the Seminoles could be the bigger danger to the Tigers rather than the Nittany Lions.
