I'm going to take a break from the College World Series, where I just finished watching Auburn defeat Stanford 6-2 and stay alive in Omaha, to focus on a little recruiting news. As of right now, the Tigers only have two commitments in the 2022 class and that is the least of any team in the SEC. It's only mid-June and there's still plenty of time to put together a terrific class, but every day that goes by everyone else adds to their burgeoning classes.

Let's be clear, it's not for lack of trying. Auburn has had a steady flow of very impressive prospects in for official and unofficial visits over the last several weeks and that will continue for the rest of this month. The coaches also continue to work extremely hard putting on summer camps to evaluate young players on a massive scale. This will eventually pay huge dividends, but, unfortunately, the commitment dam has yet to break. Quite honestly, a lot of players are waiting to see what the Tigers do during the season. I don't blame them. After a failed coup to remove Bryan Harsin following a 6-7 season last year, how could anyone possibly see the Loveliest Village as a stable environment?
