I haven't seen us go after these caliber of players and get them in a LONG time. It feels good.

I agree, I've never been much of a follower of recruiting, and don't really know anything about it now - but when you hear them on the radio saying that Auburn has committments from the top player in Louisiana, Arkansas, Mississippi, etc. it has to be a good thing.
All we heard when Chizik was hired was that he would NEVER be able to get any players to come to Auburn, because "why would any choose to play for Chizik over Saban, Meyer, Spurrier, etc, etc, etc."
I know it's never over til they sign on the line, but it does look good.
Hope the team proves them just as wrong on the field!
