The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

LeRon Furr, a 6-foot-3, 200-pound linebacker for Carver, Columbus, likely won’t join his older brother, DeRon Furr, at Auburn. But he could still wind up playing football in the SEC.
“I’ve got offers from Duke, Central Florida, Ole Miss, UAB, Oklahoma State, Arkansas and Louisville,” LeRon Furr said. “Will I get an offer from Auburn? I don’t think so.”
The younger Furr has spent a portion of his summer on the recruiting trail.
“I went to Duke to a camp last week,” he said. “And I’ve been to Central Florida for junior day. I think I’m going to Mississippi State to a camp this weekend.”
As for recruiting advice from his big brother: “he told me to enjoy it and have fun.”

Hmmm…why not?
AJC, do some d%&m reporting! What’s his 40? What are his grades like? Can’t be too bad if Duke’s offering…Ole Miss, Arkansas and MSU are giving him a look, that’s half the SEC West. Why would Auburn not want him?

Why would Auburn not want him?Because we’ve already got 3 LB’s in this class(including juco Freeman who will redshirt so he can play 3 years) and will most likely take Petey Smith. We’re still in the running for a couple others, specifically Tana Patrick. Also, Brandon Jacobs may very well end up at LB.

My point exactly. Jacobs is a running back that might move to LB. If the kid’s a step slow, make him a DL. He’s 6’3..right now the OC is asking his brother to play receiver and the same could be asked of him. If he doesn’t want to do that, by all means go where you will be most comfortable. But I’m the first to say Tuberville can’t be beyond looking at SEC/ACC caliber talent playing that close to home. He should have learned with the last recruiting class that he can’t take his eyes off talent and zero in on certain kids. They are kids! Their minds change.
