Auburn football awaiting word from elite recruits

National Signing Day is approaching and Auburn still has plenty of feelers out to a few remaining targets. This stuff evolves by the day, so we'll see what happens before the weekend officially starts, but here's how my story for today's newspaper starts:
AUBURN, Ala. — It’s five days until recruits officially sign letters of intent on national signing day, but from Auburn’s perspective there is plenty of drama that remains in the final week.

The Tigers await decisions from their four top remaining targets, who will make their intentions known starting Monday.

In each instance, Auburn is competing against the recruit’s home-state school.

Read the entire story here. And follow the blog on Twitter.

Good article, Andrew.

Any idea what kind of venue is Whitaker announcing in? home, school, private or public? Lattimore's announcement will be in a public setting.

I think it would be tough for both these kids to announce going to Auburn while sitting between their instate (UGA / USC) fans.

Are you planning to be at either of these / any of these announcement events?

Would we have any of those melodramatic 'cap out of bag' crap on signing day or is that a thing of the past now?

I have seen a bunch of 'em over the years pick against a local favorite at a public announcement, so I wouldn't necessarily take that as a bad sign.
I do hope a future Auburn man is above the silly "pick out a hat" routine.

I will not be making the trip for these announcements (the newspaper budget ain't what it used to be), but the blog will be scouring the Internet for information as soon as it happens.
