Auburn's Recruiting Class Could Be Best Ever

With commitments from Davis, Pugh, Burns, Freeman, Ramsey and Ziemba, Auburn's 2007 recruiting class is shaping up to be one of the best ever. But with less than 2 weeks to signing day the Tigers need a couple more on defense to make a huge statement. The big targets are DE's Frank Alexander and Jerry Howard. Alexander appears to have his list narrowed to Oklahoma or Auburn while Howard is heavily favored to go to the Gators. If Auburn loses out on both of these they'll turn to Antoine Carter of Miami. A potential diamond in the rough. At LB Auburn hopes to sign Josh Bynes. Bynes is undecided between South Carolina, Louisville, Iowa and Auburn. Auburn also has a good shot at Adam Herring who has not been very highly touted. Finally there's Michael McNeil the safety from Mobile who has everyone's attention. McNeil is trying to decide between Auburn and FSU.

OTWS estimates the chance of each of the above prospects signing with Auburn as follows:
Frank Alexander - 30%
Jerry Howard - 5%
Antoine Carter - 80%
Josh Bynes - 75%
Adam Herring - 90%
Michael McNeil - 50%

If Auburn can pick up McNeil, Bynes and one of the DE prospects, look out!
