Google may have spoiled Auburn recruiting target’s decision

Does Google know something the rest of us don’t in regards to Auburn football recruiting target KJ Bolden, a 5-star safety out of Buford, Georgia, and his commitment decision; which was supposed to take place on August 5?

Jake Crain of Crain & Company tweeted out an image of a “KJ Bolden” Google search on August 4 that included in its top stories section the news that Bolden had already committed to Kirby Smart and the Bulldogs.

This would end Auburn football head coach Hugh Freeze’s recruiting hot streak that has already seen him flip a 5-star linebacker, Demarcus Riddick out of Chilton County, from Georgia, and a 5-star wideout, Perry Thompson out of Foley, from Alabama.
