13. Myles Mason, 4-star safety, Hewitt-Trussville — uncommitted
Myles Mason’s recruitment has been somewhat of a question mark for the past several months. It’s unclear which of his top schools he can commit to at the moment. Alabama, the school he likely wants to pick, is still evaluating him, as is Florida State. With him being at Hewitt-Trussville now, one of the top football teams in the state, Mason will have a lot of eyes on him this fall.

9. Jalen Cunningham, 3-star defensive tackle, Saint Clair County — uncommitted
Jalen Cunningham hasn’t had the best coaching in his high school career. That has changed with Matt Glover now there. Since Glover was hired in late February, Cunningham’s recruitment has taken off. Like Mason above, it’s unclear where he can actually commit. Alabama is still evaluating him and wants to see how he plays after he recovers from a turf toe injury. If the Crimson Tide want him, he’ll commit to Bama. Though Cunningham is 6-foot-6 and over 340 pounds, he carries his weight very well. With proper coaching, we believe Cunningham could be a force in the SEC.

8. Andres Fox, 3-star defensive end, Mobile Christian — uncommitted
Andres Fox is on the wish list for Alabama, LSU, Auburn and Stanford, so that gives a good idea of his skill set. He has a solid combination of strength and agility, which is why he ranges from a Buck target to a defensive tackle target. All four of those programs have specific plans in place to utilize Fox in their schemes. He will be a standout for Mobile Christian this fall and show exactly why.

6. Harold Joiner, 4-star running back, Mountain Brook — uncommitted
Harold Joiner’s college decision hasn’t been as obvious. But when it comes to his play on the field, it’s clear Joiner is one of the best athletes in the country. Is he a running back? Is he a wide receiver? Those questions haven’t been answered yet, but there’s no doubt Joiner will be a difficult asset to defend for whichever program he chooses. This is a guy who is as fast as anyone and can do cartwheels and backflips across an entire football field — all while standing 6-foot-3.

You mean the Kenyan Drake playing in the NFL and forever immortalized in Crimson fame?
Yeah, why would you want to be used like him.

5. Seth Williams, 4-star wide receiver, Paul W. Bryant — uncommitted
Seth Williams is a big-bodied receiver from the Tuscaloosa area. While you may think Alabama is the favorite, it’s Auburn that has the best chance at landing his commitment. Williams is highly coveted by major schools because of his size and how electric he is with the ball in his hands.

4. Asa Martin, 4-star running back, Austin — uncommitted
Asa Martin is the top running back in the state, and both in-state programs are chasing after this standout, who decides Thursday. Martin went down to IMG Academy for his junior season, but he’s back in the Yellowhammer State to show off his hard-nosed mentality as a runner. Martin’s lower body is about as physical as you’ll see from a high school prospect. It’s no wonder he’ll be competing on one side of the Iron Bowl in the near future.

3. Jalyn Armour-Davis, 4-star cornerback, St. Paul’s Episcopal — committed to Alabama
Jalyn Armour-Davis committed to Alabama over Auburn and seems locked in with his choice. Armour-Davis stands at 6-foot and weighs around 165 pounds. He’ll need to add muscle in college, but that shouldn’t be a problem in Scott Cochran’s program at Alabama. What’s special about Armour-Davis is his ability to play on and off coverage because of his elite speed and athleticism. He’s a state champion in the triple jump and 100-meter dash.

this guy still has clout with that audience? I assumed they'd have all wised up and bailed on him after his percentages were always so far off.

2. Coynis Miller, 4-star defensive tackle, Jackson-Olin — uncommitted
Aside from the only person ranked ahead of him, Coynis Miller is the state’s most heavily recruited prospect by Auburn and Alabama. The big defensive tackle has the strength and ability to be one of the top prospects in the entire country. As his high school coach says, if his motor matches his skill set, there’s nothing stopping Miller from being one of the top-10 prospects in the class. There aren’t many offensive linemen in the nation who can stop Miller from doing what he wants.

1. Justyn Ross, 4-star wide receiver, Central — uncommitted
Justin Ross is the No. 1 or 2 wide receiver target for Alabama, Auburn, Clemson and Florida State. That tells you all you need to know about why he should be considered the state’s top prospect. There aren’t many receivers in the country with his size (6-foot-4), ability to jump and above-average speed. He’s very tough for any corner to lock down because of his physicality. He still needs to polish his route-running, but he has mightily improved from where he was a year ago.

Think we can get back into the thick of things with Joiner if Asa goes to the barn?
Maybe.
I imagine missing on Martin would cause a complete shakeup of the RB board.

You got a downvote from someone for some odd reason. I think they're missing the fact that we may only have three on scholarship next year if Damien and Bo go pro. Quality-wise, the three left would still be freaks. Numbers-wise, we'd be hurting. RBs get banged up more than any other position in football.

Pretty cool. Could have made the two FSU guys at least have some sort of hint of being Native american even if they wanted to down play it a bit.

If you didn't already know, the two glitter guys are fans of FSU. You'll see them at FSU games all the time

Lol had no clue but just did a pic search.
1. One time is fun, multiple times looks like a pain in the arse.
2. They are in shape but not muscular.

Ranking Louisiana's top WR recruits over the last 5 years
quote:
10. Devonta Lee, Amite, 2019
Lee has plenty of time to move up on this list, and I expect him to do just that, as he continues to improve his route running to become more of a complete receiver. He attacks the ball better than anyone on this list, and has deceptive speed, to go with his 6-foot-2, 205-pound frame.
Posted on 8/22/17 at 8:31 am to TideSaint
quote:
8. Trey Palmer, Kentwood, 2019
Much like his 2019 Tangipahoa counterpart Devonta Lee, I expect Palmer to move up on this list over time. He has game-changing speed, and tracks the ball about as well as any receiver to come out of the state in some time.
