(Auburn coaches) did terrific at the two most important recruiting positions: offensive skill players and defensive linemen. That was Auburn's biggest area of need, and they filled those positions perfectly.

Ryan Butler and our quarterback have been hooking up all year long. Our skill players are doing well. We are just trying to get the right people in the right places. Anytime you can win two games in a row that makes you proud of your guys and coaches.

He is a big part of the hockey team. He brings energy, skill and he shoots the puck.

I'm not expecting any of Auburn's commitments to jump ship on signing day. That would come as a shock to me and as a shock to those associated with the program.

Allow me to offer my congratulations on the truly admirable skill you have shown in keeping clear of the mark. Not to have hit once in so many trials, argues the most splendid talents for missing.
