re: 2020 FB Recruiting & Roster

Need to see more of the last one. Classic. Great group.

Here’s an article by 24/7 that has five or six Will Anderson highlights from this week.
24/7

Has 9 highlights I believe

Cristobal should be the coach Alabama goes after post Saban

Lots of important people at Alabama think very highly of him also

Sounds like Anderson might move into the Top 20-25.

More importantly it sounds like Anderson is a frickin manchild.

No. 1 Bryce Young -- Young has been nearly flawless through two days of practice. He was the top quarterback on the West on Tuesday and was locked in during the Wednesday joint practice. We didn’t see Young have an errant throw during the session. Most, if not all, of his incompletions were on target and the result of strong coverage. Young dropped the ball in a shoebox on multiple occasions. His ball placement to all levels of the field is the best in this cycle and it showed during the joint practice. At one point, Young made several consecutive incredible throws. He also showed off his quick processor in flying through progressions in 7-on-7 in the afternoon. The game moves in slow motion for the Alabama signee.

They can rank Anderson wherever they want. He’s a top 10 player in this class regardless of what a website says, and he’s suiting up for us next year.

I think the recruiting guys know this, but to put him top 10 at this point is an indictment of their own ability. Kid had 22 sacks this year, that’s absurd at any level. I expect he’ll finish at the back end of the 5 star range, but he’s clearly a top 10 player in the country

I think a lot of his ranking is the result of being a tweener and kind of a niche player. He's too small to be a full time DE and he isn't a coverage guy, so he is basically a 3-4 OLB. He has been compared to Tim Williams, who also fit that mold. I think the fact that he has 34 inch arms will end up doing as much for his final ranking as his actual performance. That gives him the length to properly engage edge blockers in run defense, which means he could be an every down guy and not just a pass rush specialist.

And every one of our upper end kids seems to be earning rave reviews and are seemingly underrated (even as they are highly rated).

Really excited about this group
