We've got a couple of developments on the recruiting scene today, so let's get to it ...
- Tallahassee, Fla., defensive tackle Corey Gaines has selected Ole Miss, according to RebelSports.net, the Ole Miss Rivals.com site. Gaines had Ole Miss at the top of his list before coming away from a visit to Auburn last weekend impressed. Still, he ended up going with the Rebels. The 6-foot, 274-pound tackle is a four-star player.
- Perry, Ga., offensive guard Johnnie Farms is sticking with his commitment to North Carolina, so says the Atlanta Journal-Constitution. Farms, a four-star recruit, visited Auburn last weekend but despite committing to the Tar Heels in November.
- In better news for Auburn, the Tigers might be at the top of the list for Tampa, Fla., running back Dontae Aycock. The 5-foot-10, 210-pound, four-star recruit was told by Georgia Tech that if he followed through with a visit to Auburn last weekend, the school would pull his scholarship offer. He did and the Yellow Jackets did, according to the Journal-Constitution. Interestingly, Auburn is recruiting Aycock to be a running back. Georgia Tech wanted him as a quarterback to run its unique option offense. Also interesting is that the Journal-Constitution article said Aycock is committed to Auburn. No such news has come from the Tigers' major recruiting sites, AuburnSports.com and AUTigers.com. That news sounds a bit premature to me.
- UPDATE: Auburn couldn't sway another one of its most recent visitors. Tulsa, Okla., tight end Tracy Moore told The Oklahoman that he is sticking with his commitment to Oklahoma State. Thought Auburn might have a chance with this kid, just because he seemed very chummy with assistants Curtis Luper and Trooper Taylor.
