Forgot to mention this yesterday. Apparently Coynis Miller is waiting on a test score this week. If he gets what he needs he will enroll soon, if not....

Sounds like though Kayode Oladele is on track to be on campus later this month

Cam Newton, Ronnie Brown give Noah Cain the pitch (247)

quote:
In its recruitment of Noah Cain, the 4-star running back from Bradenton (Fla.) IMG Academy, Auburn got an assist from two Tigers legends last Saturday during Big Cat Weekend. One was Cam Newton. The other was Ronnie Brown.

Newton, the 2010 Heisman-winning quarterback who led Auburn to a national title, and Brown, the No. 2 pick in the 2005 NFL Draft, both attended the event, which brought in about 30 top Auburn recruiting targets to campus.

“Cam Newton and Ronnie Brown, two great guys that I met,” Cain said. “Cam Newton was just telling me about Auburn. Ronnie Brown played running back with my running backs coach (Cadillac Williams). Telling me how they shared the ball together, how they got better.”

According to Cain, he got some one-on-one time with Newton, which he thought was pretty cool.

“He was just like, 'Auburn is a great place for running backs’ and he definitely liked my body type. He said this is one of the best places to achieve your drams.”

In addition to Newton and Brown, former Auburn players Montravius Adams, Chris Davis and Carlos Rodgers also helped with the event.

For Cain, Auburn appears to be a top contender. Some sources think Auburn and Texas may be the teams to watch. However, LSU and Ohio State also remain very much in the hunt. Additionally, he will visit Georgia next weekend. Cain plans to release a top five in late July or early August, he told Auburn Undercover. “(The Tigers) have a real good chance of making it,” Cain said. “I had a great conversation with Coach (Gus) Malzahn. You know, top five is going to be real tough. I’ve been talking to a lot of different schools right now but Auburn is right there.”

Cain arguably is Auburn's top running back target for the 2019 cycle. The 5-feet-10.5, 209-pound standout is the No. 2 running back and No. 53 overall recruit nationally in the industry generated 247Sports Composite. This was his second visit to Auburn. He previously visited the Tigers in January with his father. His mother then made the trip to Auburn by herself to meet the staff this spring. Last weekend, all three -- Cain, his mom and dad -- visited Auburn together to attend Big Cat Weekend. Afterward, both Cain and his father told Auburn Undercover they had a great time at the event.

Auburn may only take one running back in the 2019 class. The Tigers already have their top quarterback (Bo Nix) and receiver (George Pickens) targets on the commit list. Nix knows Cain well and has actively recruited him since he committed to Auburn in January.
