Wow talk about a huge change from him being a big tweener/project to snapping his leg a few weeks before signing day. Really hate to see that but glad coaches are going to honor the scholarship offers.

Saban and Smart expected to be at Edgewood to visit Prince tomorrow.

Hugh Freeze reportedly was at the hospital while PT was having surgery.

Good Old Frozen, I wonder if he dropped off a set of tires for the Doctors, and family.

Regardless of Freeze's recruiting method$, I'm impressed that he would be at the hospital during surgery after that kind of injury. This is possibly the only time I'll ever say this about Hugh Freeze, but that was classy.

Well yea going to the hospital during surgery was either a very classy move, or very bad timing...LOL.

Regardless, I would not hire Hugh Frozen for anything in my athletic department, if I was AD. But I am not an AD....

The staff reportedly wanted to get him on campus in the coming weeks. Doesn't look like it'll happen.

@AndrewJBone BREAKING: Four-star DE Prince Tega Wanogho from Edgewood Academy in Ala., will sign with #Auburn on Wednesday. @Allie_Davison @BMattAU

@AndrewJBone Prince Tega Wanogho committed to #Auburn head coach Gus Malzahn a few minutes ago according to head coach @bobbycarr11. Major upside!

Re: 2016 Prospect DE/TE Prince Tega (Edgewood Academy)

Unexpected development here. General thinking on Tega was that he would wait a few weeks, let the cards settle, and then pick a school. Alabama had been trying to get him to Tuscaloosa for an official visit in the next couple of weeks, and had been trying to generally defer his recruitment for a while. I guess Tega figured that his best bet would be to go ahead and lock in the spot at Auburn. Can't necessarily blame him for that, especially if he felt an offer from Alabama might not come through.

Either way, best of luck to him at Auburn, and he'll be an interesting one to follow. Such a strange circumstance here, anything is possible. Wouldn't be shocked if he turned out to be a star, wouldn't be shocked if he never made a meaningful contribution. Risk/Reward to the utmost degree here.

Sounds about right.. I do agree. He could be ready in 2-3 years... He's long term project.

According to WSFA, Tega said "The family atmosphere at Auburn reminded him of the atmosphere at Edgewood."

I look forward to the day Auburn has a new recruiting pitch other than the stupid "family atmosphere."

Well, if they think it works well enough, why change? They do sell it hard. I do think that it`s been deliberately emphasized even more as an "anti-Saban`s all business" approach. That may appeal to some kids and especially their parents. Wonder what AuDub`s thoughts are on this?

I'm happy with whatever our coaches feel appeals to these kids and their families. If the "family atmosphere" is an appealing pitch, then hammer them with it.

Very happy with with Auburn's class this year. Ranked as high as number two. Still chasing Bama, but who isn't?

I avoid any establishment or business whose pitch is "we treat you like family" or "family atmosphere".
