I am pleased to announce that on Monday, Keith Niebuhr will join our national recruiting team at 247Sports.
Keith comes to us from Rivals where he built a big following in a short amount of time covering recruiting in the Southeast. His coverage here will be national in scope with an emphasis on Georgia and Florida.
He also will be heavily involved on GatorBait.net and Noles247, our Florida and Florida State sites.
Keith is one of the most innovative and hard-working guys in our business and we've had designs on recruiting him over for well more than a year now. We are extremely excited he elected to be part of our team!

Very nice pick up. If there was anyone from Rivals that I wanted to see come over here Keith would have been it.
He did a great job when he was on Gatorbait.

He is from Florida, so you know he faces some outstanding competition, so I would give him either a high 4* or a 5*.

This is a hire I took great pride in personally. Keith is a superstar in the making and one of the hardest working reporters I have ever watched. We are thrilled that he is making the jump (at midnight) to 247Sports. Huge get for our team that is already loaded with talent. Very, very exciting day at #247Sports!

Good point, any reports on his 40 time, vertical, and how much he can bench? Need to know if he will be ready from day one.

Heard rumors of a hand-clocked time of 4.3, though can't verify that.
Should start day 1 though, little doubt of that.

So, are you saying he may be the best prospect since JC Shurburtt?

Wow. One of the only national guys I cared about on Rivals. He seemed to post a lot on the AU site over there. I think he will fit in very well over here. Huge pickup IMO.

I would have to say yes, now lets see him live up to the hype and potential now.
He has an unlimited ceiling.

Will he post and give the Auburn fans updates like he was over on Rivals? He is really well liked over there because he will come in threads and answer questions and go back and forth a bit. Like I said he is one of the only guys I liked over there. I know a lot of Auburn fans feel the same way also.
