And this is the danger of having NCAA investigators on your tail.

While sources continue to say that NCAA sleuths have yet to turn up any serious new dirt regarding Auburn’s recruitment of Cam Newton, the NCAA’s investigation into the Newton recruitment might lead to the discovery of other violations involving other players.

Back in January, Thayer Evans of FoxSports.com relayed the story of Auburn’s surprising recruiting success in Thibodaux, Louisiana.  Monday, the NCAA turned up to talk to Auburn signee Greg Robinson and three other people in Thibodaux regarding AU’s recruitment of Robinson and current Tiger receiver Trovon Reed (who signed with Auburn last year).

The NCAA is taking an interest in a person named Sean Nelson — who may or may not be acting as a “street agent” for players — and Auburn assistant Trooper Taylor.

The thought when Alabama hired Nick Saban in 2007 was that he would go back to Louisiana and steal recruits from LSU.

That hasn’t necessarily happened. But could another school inside the state of Alabama be challenging LSU’s recruiting supremacy inside its own state?

Auburn turned some heads last year when wide receiver Trovon Reed signed with LSU. Recently, the Tigers picked up a commitment from offensive lineman Greg Robinson, who happens to be a former teammate of Reed at Thibodaux (La.) High School.

Scott Ferrell has a post on the Bayou Bengals Blog about other prospects Auburn is hoping to steal away from LSU (and perhaps Alabama, too).

Auburn has landed an important commitment from offensive lineman Greg Robinson in Thibodaux (La.) High School.

In fact, Robinson has known for several weeks that he would choose the Tigers. He held back from announcing it publicly because of the amount of LSU fans around him.

“In my hometown, I’d just never told anybody,” Robinson told 247Sports.com. “My parents knew. They said it was going ot be hard for them to let me go, but I feel like I can be successful and that’s the place for me.”

Robinson’s announcement comes after his visit to LSU last weekend. He’s ranked the nation’s 8th best offensive tackle and 47th best prospect overall by 247Sports.

Robinson is the 14th commitment for Auburn’s 2011 class, which now has commitments from three offensive linemen. That’s key because the Tigers will have to replace four starters from the current unit.

Robinson said he plans to help on Auburn’s offensive line immediately.

“I have no thoughts in my mind about redshirting,” Robinson told 247Sports. “I’m going in there and try to fight for a spot. I’m trying to get noticed quickly.”
