"I get stuff from Auburn like everyday," Pike said. "I get hand written letters from almost every coach there, probably once a week just telling me I'm their number one guy and I need to get down there for a game."
"When you get handwritten letters from schools, that makes you feel better about them," Pike said. "It just shows you that those coaches really care about you. When you get 20 or 30 letters a day, getting a handwritten letter makes you feel like they are more serious about you."
Pike left his visit in Auburn this summer saying he 'loved' Auburn, and was upfront with the Auburn coaches at the time, saying they would be atop his list until the very end.
"I had a real good feeling when I went there," Pike said. "You just have a feeling when you go certain places, and Auburn was one of them. Auburn is still up there for me, I still love Auburn."
"Hopefully I'll make a decision by August of next year," Pike said.

"Auburn is on another level, there's just something in my heart that I feel about them." Pike said. "Auburn is a place where I could see myself going to school for five years."

"I want to be trained and taught for the NFL; you do not see spread quarterbacks make it in the NFL," admitted Pike. "That has hurt some great quarterbacks recently in college. One of the top three quarterbacks of the last few years, Tim Tebow, he played in the spread offense and it has hurt him a little bit. Obviously that is going to be a factor in my decision."
