AUBURN | With one day to go until the start of the early signing period, Auburn’s 2022 class has the potential to make a big move up the team rankings.

Below are the points totals for each remaining target. You can see how Rivals comes up with their rankings formula HERE. Some important notes…
** When compiling the points total, only the top 20 players in the class are counted. So if AU signs 22, then you drop off the two lowest ranked players such as Alex McPherson (60) or one or more of the 5.6 3-stars (75), which are Powell Gordon, Jay Fair and Caleb Wooden.
** Other schools will gain and lose commitments over the next two days (more gain) so the final rankings will trend a little lower in each scenario.
** There’s also the late signing period on Feb. 2 to take into account for the final rankings.
