Saw this in the AJC:
Auburn lands ESPNs No. 1 back in America, Michael Dyer

Michael Dyer, one of the top-ranked tailbacks in America, committed to Auburn on Friday.
Dyer (5-foot-8, 200), from Little Rock Christian in Little Rock, Ark., is considered the No. 1 running back in the country by ESPN, and No. 3 by Scout.com and Rivals.com. He chose the Tigers over Arkansas, Tennessee, Ole Miss, Florida and Alabama.
The big question is how Dyers commitment will affect the nations otehr top-rated backs. Marcus Lattimore of Duncan, S.C., and Lache Seastrunk of Temple, Texas, ranked 1 and 2 by the other services, were also considering Auburn.
The general thought was that two backs of that ilk wouldnt go to the same school. But Dyer insists there is a possibility that Lattimore could also end up on the Plains.
The last few weeks, me and Marcus Lattimore have had conversations and sent texts back and forth trying to figure out whats going on and to see if hes going to go to Auburn or not, Dyer told ESPNs JC Shurburtt. I told him it would be great for both of us to come out there and tag-team and run the ball. He seemed to be very respectful like he would fit into Auburn. I have been working on him to get him to commit there. Hes a nice guy and it would be pretty amazing to get him to commit to Auburn.
Lattimore is also considering Georgia (along with South Carolina, North Carolina, Penn State and Florida State) but has long been considered a South Carolina lean
