WR Justyn Ross: The five-star receiver wanted to see Auburn throw the football today, and that's exactly what happened. Ross was very impressed with the Tigers' new offense, quarterback Jarrett Stidham and the wide receivers, particularly Nate Craig-Myers. Ross said Auburn looked like a different team today than it did last year. Going to Alabama's spring game and returning to Auburn for Big Cat.

WR Matthew Hill: Not surprising, Hill liked what he saw from Auburn's offense, especially in the first half. Very important to him to see that Auburn has a quarterback who can put the ball up a gnat's ass from 50 yards out (paraphrasing). Stidham is going to make a big different for Auburn. Plans to have a top-5 list after spring and Auburn "hopefully" will be on the list.

RB Harold Joiner: Passing game was awesome, but "they need to work on the running game." Overall, though, he likes the offense. Quarterbacks were smooth. Auburn has emphasized how much they need and want Joiner ... at running back, which means a lot to him. Joiner also has visited LSU, UAB and Alabama and plans to make a late-season decision.

DB Myles Mason: Enjoyed meeting with Auburn DB coach Greg Brown. Mason is very high on Brown, his experience in the NFL and the relationship that is forming between the coach and recruit. Mason lists (no order) Auburn, Alabama, Clemson, LSU and Florida State as his top five. He has visited each of the schools, and also plans to visit Georgia. Mason would like to make a decision this summer.

DL Coynis Miller: Isn't in a hurry to make a commitment, but lists Auburn, Alabama, LSU, Georgia and Ole Miss as his top five (no order). He'll visit Alabama in two weeks for the Tide's spring game, likely return to Auburn and also visit Florida later in the summer. He had a good three-day visit to Auburn last weekend. Watched practice up-close with Gus Malzahn. He continues to build his relationships with Auburn's coaches, which will play a major factor in his decision.

QB Joey Gatewood: Gatewood spent the majority of the day with Ross. The two have become close friends over the past several weeks. Gatewood is recruiting Ross to Auburn, and said he is "confident" Ross will join him on the Plains. Also, Gatewood was grinning ear-to-ear when asked about Auburn's new offense. He loves it. He will play quarterback as a senior. He platooned at different positions last season.
