Auburn did not add to its list of commits Sunday, but may have put itself in position to make a big splash Wednesday.

A number of highly touted recruits — many of whom already committed to major schools — left Auburn high on the Tigers, according to multiple Auburn recruiting Web sites.

Four-star running back David Oku (Midwest City, Okla.), considered one of the top overall recruits in the nation and a soft commit to

Tennessee, told AuburnSports.com he would not announce his decision on National Signing Day. He has narrowed down his choices to Auburn, Tennessee and Syracuse, according to the Web site.

Oku, along with a number of other Auburn recruits, was spotted at Saturday’s men’s basketball game. At one point in the first half, when Oku got up from his seat, fans began to chant his name.

Some even had signs for Oku, one of which said “Oku for Heisman.”

Another Tennessee commit, offensive tackle Aubrey Phillips (Olive Branch, Miss.), told AuburnSports.com he was still committed to the Vols, “but on Signing Day there will be a change.” Rivals.com rates the 6-foot-6, 310-pounder as a four-star.

Phillips’ high school teammate, safety Daren Bates, committed to Auburn on Thursday and was one of 12 official visitors on campus this weekend.

A number of the visitors said they would announce their decisions Wednesday and most included the Tigers on their narrowed list.

Four-star running back Dontae Aycock (Tampa, Fla.) said he would decide between Auburn and Georgia Tech, according to AuburnSports.com. Four-star defensive tackle Corey Gaines (Tallahassee, Fla.) said he would choose between Auburn and Ole Miss, according to the Web site. And four-star offensive tackle Johnnie Farms (Perry, Ga.), a North Carolina commit, said he would make his final decision Wednesday.

Five-star wide receiver Rueben Randle, who was expected to be on campus this weekend, did not visit, according to AuburnSports.com.
