Auburn Expecting Double Digit Committments During Stars & Stripes Weekend


Supposedly, Auburn Assistant Coach Trooper Taylor told Sports Call Radio that Auburn fans should save their firework money on the 4th, because there are going to be plenty of fireworks for fans in July.

The word on the street is that Auburn has planned an event like no other for the July 18th weekend, in which no less than 12 highly-touted recruits will sign with the Tigers. It's being called "Stars and Stripes Weekend" (Recruiting Stars and Tiger Stripes) and will take place at Jordan-Hare Stadium.

Many media outlets have picked up on the story and it appears the information may be more than just a rumor. At least Auburn is giving the national media a true example of a staged publicity stunt, something that Lane Kiffin was unfairly accused of when Evan Berry said he was committed to UT.
