Another major football commitment on the horizon?

If you follow recruiting, you're well-aware that Lousianna's top prospect Trovon Reed is expected to announce his collegiate intentions tommorow morning at 10 a.m. CT. The folks at Rivals expect that he'll sign with Auburn. 

This would be huge for the Tigers, as he is the best in a state that is loaded with talent and incredibly difficult for anyone but LSU to pull from. He is ranked as one of the top fifty players in the country and top ten receivers in the country. If he does what most expect and commits to Auburn, he will come in and likely make a similar impact as Onterrio McCalebb has this year. 

BUT HERE'S THE KEY: if Reed commits to Auburn, it will pave the way for Lache Seastrunk to follow in his footsteps. The two are very close, like brothers, and say they would like to go to the same school, but that it's only an ideal. There are quite a few people who say Seastrunk has cooled on Auburn and is now looking heavily to the West Coast, like USC. I find this difficult to believe. 

This is a kid who has consistently recruited FOR Auburn in his visits to other schools. Although Marcus Lattimore, fellow top running back recruit, recently said he doesn't expect Seastrunk to "come" to Auburn, I think the Tigers are likely still atop his list. I just don't see a guy as sharp as he is forgetting the connection he has with Coach Luper and the Auburn family. I think he has planned his recruitment out very well and to the T, and that he'll end up surprising some folks with his commitment to the Tigers later. But I guess that's just my gut feeling.

But since I mentioned Lattimore, I'll also say that the Tigers are putting on a full-court press for his signature in February and are making a big impression. I think it will likely come down to Auburn and South Carolina for him. And the Gamecocks will be tough to beat.

Auburn already has Michael Dyer committed, and I think either Lattimore or Seastrunk would compliment him well, but not both. I don't see how it could be possible for Reed, Dyer, Seastrunk and Lattimore to all be major players in ANY offense at the same time, not to mention guys like McCalebb, DeAngelo Benton, Darvin Adams and Emory Blake, who will almost certainly be factors.

At any rate, it appears to be a good situation for the Tigers to be in. My prediction: Auburn lands Reed tomorrow, then Seastrunk later. And if that happens, expect four-star safety Ahmad Dixon to follow suit.
