Four-star defensive end Dee Liner from Muscle Shoals, Alabama will stay in state and suit up for the Crimson Tide.  Liner is viewed as one of the 10 best ends in the nation.

Once an Auburn Tiger commitment, Liner was also pursued by the Tigers from LSU.

Auburn scored a big recruiting win this weekend when defensive end Carl Lawson confirmed his plan to sign with the Tigers on Wednesday.

Lawson, who has been committed to Auburn since March, had shown interest in Tennessee and Clemson. Lawson announced the end of his recruitment via twitter.

“This will successfully end my recruitment I am an Auburn Tiger. No questions will be answered no calls will be accepted.”

Lawson, who’s ranked the nation’s No. 2 defensive end by ESPN RecruitingNation, is one of several highly-touted prospects being recruited by Auburn. The Tigers remain in the running for offensive lineman Montravious Adams from Vienna, Ga., cornerback Mackensie Alexander from Immokalee, Fla., and linebacker Reuben Foster from Auburn, Ala., among others.

If you read this site with any regularity, you know I’m not the world’s biggest Twitter fan.  And you’ve probably also picked up on the fact that I’m not a real fan of trash talkers, either.

So when you see trash talking on Twitter, it’s probably a safe bet that I’m sitting behind my keyboard rolling my eyes at the goings-on.

Enter Auburn quarterback commitment Zeke Pike.  It seems the Kentucky native is already marching in step with the many AU and UA backers who believe the best part of the Iron Bowl rivalry is the ugly, non-stop name-calling and barb-tossing.

A sample of some of Pike’s recent Twitter battles with Crimson Tide fans:

“I can tell you’re an Alabama fan cause you have no educational skills.  It’s FAMILY not fambly . . . Something only AU knows about.”

“nothing better than knowing I’m gonna play for the best program in the country.  It’s better gaining bama haters much love for you!”

“I knew I was suppose to be an Auburn Tiger when I stepped on Alabama’s campus and hated everything”

“Can I get directions to Ttown menswear?  I heard there’s some cool stuff there?”

Now who doesn’t look forward to having this cocky blowhard in the SEC?

(Sidenote — Before some Auburn fan screams that I must be a “Bammer,” please remember that you would be the one disgusted by such actions if Pike were a Tide commit blasting Auburn.  I don’t care who he plays for, the kid’s parents should take his Twitter away.)
