Which LB position are we recruiting him for?
I haven't seen anything definitive. There is this quote that he gave after his ND OV that made it seem like they're pitch is to not put him at just one position but to be able to move him around.


They showed me how I could really play any of the linebacker positions because, of course, I'm going to gain weight but I'm also going to keep my speed where they can put me at rover, mike, will. They could put me in all types of packages. And they said they really want me to be like a three, four-down linebacker. They said I would really fit in that system.

IMO, in Lea's old 4-2-5, I would've said Will. But, in Freeman's 3-3-5, Rover/Sam. Though that defender came off the field quite a bit at Cincy so maybe that's why they pitch him the position versatility. Early down Rover/Sam and Nickel/Dime he's a Will/Mike. I'm still unsure exactly what we'll see from Golden. Very much looking forward to Fall Camp.

In modern football, stack athletes of speed, agility and size.

Give me two M'Pemba's and two Ausberrys, and the hell with positional integrity. Al Golden and the Freeman brain trust will figure it out.

Welcome and where do I sign up for that?

In all seriousness, I agree with the sentiment. I'm a recruit the athletes and figure it out later. Which is one reason why I'd really like to see us get after some length at DB with a spot or two.

Loy with a CB.

This one is interesting.

He told some reporters he is waiting to decide until December, but others feel he announced soon…

Similar to Greathouse. Jaden originally said his recruitment was going into the fall.

That’s why it’s interesting.

On3 says he will wait until December, (but I think they are clueless), and others, (IB, 247, Rivals), think he decides soon.

Singer said the timeline could get pushed up. Not sure which On3 writer said December.

Ausberry publicly has told everyone December. The talk of summer is ND sources.

Singer said the timeline could get pushed up. Not sure which On3 writer said December.
This is from Singer’s article;

“ Ausberry told reporters that he’s looking at stretching his recruitment well into the fall, take official visits and decide close to National Signing Day.”

Then Singer says “there is a feeling he could push up his timeline.”
The feeling he is talking about is not On3’s, it’s other sites.
Singer and On3 have not pushed Ausberry moving up his timeline. Other sites have.
He clearly says in his article today, that Ausberry told reporters, who would be On3, that he will decide near NSD, which is in December.

What would he be waiting for? Looks on 247 like he's already OV'd to Michigan, Auburn and A&M, as well as Notre Dame. Clearly he knows the deal at LSU. All the smoke is us. Why wait?

I see Brandon Huffman also just CB'd him to the good guys.

Ausberry told and continues to tell all reporters the same thing.


"I want to make my commitment in early December, around Signing Day”

This isn’t a matter of what site says what. Ausberry is saying December. ND side of things is thinking could be by end of summer.

By saying other sites, I’m talking the reporters/analysts/whatever we are calling them…saying it will be before December.
Shaun Davis/Ryan Roberts, both from IB, but have different contacts, think it will be soon.

Man his dad works at LSU. I think the closer it gets to decision time it might get harder for the kid.

His brother goes to Auburn. The Ausberry’s aren’t home bodies. They’re educated people that see the value of going where you’re a fit.
