Obviously we got Redmond tonight. Arnette was initially set to make his announcement tonight as well, but then we got these 3 commitments with the final 2 being unexpected, then next thing we hear Arnette's has pushed his announcement time back. I'm hoping he just wanted to have the spotlight a little to himself, and he's not put off by 2 DB prospects stealing his thunder tonight...

Later this week, 4* DB prospect Jalen Thompson is expected to make his announcement, and recent CB picks have been trending towards USC....

We're also projected to wanting to bring in 2 RBs in this class, after we lost Scott to UT in last years class. In addition to Turner above, we're in good shape with Ty'Son Williams & Bradrick Shaw: the first 2 to pick us, we're done there...

We're also looking to get perhaps an additional OL to Bailey, a true OT type prospect. Things have picked up with Jalen Merrick lately (we're cornering the market on prospects named Jalen)...

After that, perhaps another WR that's got some length to him...

I still think we get DJ Jones. His family wants him at USC.

Who do you think you get to fill out the last 10 spots. Anybody that you guys are pretty sure of.

1 DB out of Damon Arnette / Jalen Thompson
2 RB out of Bradrick Shaw / Ty'Son Williams / Jordan Scarlett / AJ Turner
DE Dante Sawyer (JUCO)
LB Davon Durant (JUCO), if he's a take
OL Zack Bailey
WR Jerad Washington, if he's a take

^ Those are ones I'm most confident on. JUCO's Marquavius Lewis and DJ Jones are from SC but high on AUB and UTk, respectively. Our OL situation is still cloudy but we need one in addition to Bailey.

Found video on TE Connor Redmond ... damn glad to have this kid. Blue collar tight ends with this kind of upside are the bomb! I had no idea - but our coaches continue to amaze me.

Mobile Alabama DB prospect Jalen Thompson chose South Alabama today. OK with that, although he looked like a good athlete. We're still in good shape with Arnette who's now visiting UK and they may be a threat.

Also forgot about 4* DB prospect Micah Abernathy who we're also in good shape with. But either way IMO we're already reloaded with DB talent based on what we're bringing in from the '14 class and what we already have in the '15 one...
