In which a recruit’s name is plugged into Google and the bits of information that trickle out–guru ratings, newspaper profiles, YouTube highlights, all that stuff–are synthesized in the hopes of getting a clearer picture of the player we’ll see at Auburn next fall.

Careful, SEC fans. I know it will be sorely, sorely tempting to bring the scourge of vuvuzelas into our hallowed stadiums now that they’ve got the official OK–they’re fun, they’re loud, they’ve got a certain cheap-yet-exotic cachet thanks to the World Cup, like Japanese candy, yes I wish I had an burnt-orange-and-navy-blue one to blow [...]
