As I posted in the other thread, Autry was indeed the visitor that couldn't be revealed over the weekend. I said that he would likely take another visit or two before making a decision. The place he was most likely to visit was Auburn, but I'm told that the Auburn visit likely won't be happening. From talking to the source, it sounded more like Auburn was cancelling the visit/didn't want him than Autry cancelling the visit because he had already picked Minnesota, but whatever the case is, we should be happy that he's no longer visiting Auburn and doesn't have any other visits planned.

As a four-star JUCO who held offers from Florida, Oklahoma, etc., Autry would be an excellent addition and would compete for a starting spot immediately.

I'm not sure about his eligibility situation. He entered Baylor with three years to play three, but was an early enrollee so he's been enrolled in classes and participated in some of spring ball. So by rule, he would have to sit out a year, but I would think there's a possibility he's granted some form of a hardship waiver because of the mess at Baylor. We probably won't know that until he enrolls elsewhere and gets a ruling from the NCAA.
