08:21 AM ET 08.01 | Auburn has already benefited from a major recruit's change of heart this summer as five-star linebacker Reuben Foster switched his commitment from Alabama. Now the Tigers may be in position to land another formerly-committed prospect with 4-star running back Greg Bryant announcing to 247Sports that he has decommitted from Oklahoma. Bryant, a 5-foot-11, 196-pound back out of Delray Beach, Florida, committed to the Sooners back on March 31 but rumors began circulating that his commitment could be shaky following Bryant's unofficial visit to Auburn on June 9. According to Auburn Undercover analyst Bryan Matthews, Bryant now lists his top two choices as Auburn and South Carolina and is planning to visit Auburn's campus again this weekend.

Everyone says bagmen, what is wrong with bagladies?

The envelopes must be thicker and the girls must be prettier in the South, but it still a long time to signing day and they still can change their minks again.

I think he was scared of lack of carries due to the caliber of the other running back commit out from texas who is also rated in the top 10!!! Who wants real competition? One of the reason I loved the wishbone all those years was running backs would never get scared of number of carries, there were always three on the field!!!

Aubie is a run-first team, their workhorse Dyer got the boot, so he probably sees good potential for himself there.

Could be....OU has always had a stable of Running Backs and some good ones have gotten caught up in the wash and didn't get to play as much as they would have liked. Must have felt he would get more carries at Aubie (which he probably will, if he goes there).

And, as FJJ said, there is the SEC side...OU is a long way from Florida...
