As most of you already know, Auburn football landed their 19th verbal commitment for the 2009 signing class and there has been much wailing and nashing of teeth regarding this class.I for one, am not one of these people. Coach Tuberville and his staff recruit players that they "see", not the ones they read about. If any of the so-called recruiting experts knew anything then they would be on the sidelines or working in an athletic department somewhere.
Take a look at this list and see if you agree. The ratings are given by Scout.com:
Ben Grubbs - 1 star
Courtney Taylor - 1 star
Tre Smith - 1 star
Carl Stewart - 1 star
Chris Evans - 1 star
Jason Bosley - 2 star
Tyronne Green - 2 star
Robert Dunn - 1 star
Jonathan Wilhite - 1 star
Sen'Derrick Marks - 2 star
And for the Bammers...
D.J. Hall - 2 star
Demeco Ryans - 1 star
Atnoine Caldwell - 2 star
Tyrone Prothro - 2 star
If crootin' rankings are important to you, Tom Luginbill of ESPN.com updated his recruiting rankings on July 9th and has Auburn ranked #11.

well i'm glad luginbill thinks highly of us, but he's in the same boat as the rest of the recruiting services... not on the sidelines. like you said though, if TT, PR and TF like these kids and think they can have success in the SEC, they know football recruiting a thousand times better than i do, so i'm on board. WAR EAGLE!
