I agree completely. It was fricktard boosters wanting to "keep it in the fambly" that got us Mike Dubose and all the probation, vacated wins, and sex scandals to go along with it. And the decade of misery that followed....

Of the current 369 blue chip (4 and 5 stars) recruits only 13 are uncommitted. Around 40 are committed but "unsigned" although some percentage of that is keeping their signing a secret.

While I know we all already knew this I think it is safe to say the signing day shift is complete. December is now the regular signing period and Feb is now the late signing period.

Looks like Will Anderson got his 5th star on Rivals. Hopefully 247 will follow suit.

They haven't released the articles yet, but they have updated their Top 100. Anderson is up to #22 overall.

Rivals Rankings Week: Updated Rivals100 sees four new five-stars

quote:

NEW FIVE-STARS

There are four new five stars added to the 2020 class led by Alabama signee William Anderson. Our analysts break them down.

“Anderson has been ranked around the top 150 in the country for months, but when we saw his senior tape in December combined with his performance in San Antonio at All-American Bowl week, we saw one of the premiere pass rushers in the country. The Alabama signee has a great get-off, he can bend around the edge and he closes on the quarterback very well. He has a non-stop motor, he uses his hands, he plays hard and he has the versatility to play with his hand down or standing up. It is scary to think what he can develop into at Alabama.” — Chad Simmons, Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst

Mind of Mike: Farrell's thoughts on new Rivals100

quote:

... There were many top positional battles in the 2020 class that will be remembered. Here’s how each position broke down.


quote:

QuarterbackYoung barely beat out Uiagalelei in one of the better battles in recent years and it came down to game performance. Uiagalelei has a higher ceiling with his size and similar mobility to Young but Young has that something about him that makes you feel you’re watching the next great small quarterback. This shows how much things have changed from the days when Russell Wilson was a two-star that everyone wanted to turn into a wide receiver to now. Harrison Bailey was the other five-star quarterback in the class but he’s far from Young and Uiagalelei when it comes to long-term potential. He’s very good, but he wasn’t in the discussion for top quarterback.

... Here are my thoughts on the new five-stars...


quote:

DE William Anderson - The non-stop effort along with the closing speed make Anderson a special prospect and the kind of player who can change games. He’s Tim Williams to me, but stronger against the run and at the point of attack.

DT Gervon Dexter - Dexter could play defensive end or defensive tackle and takes on double teams well with the use of his hands. His balance is excellent and he can get after the passer.

CB Jaylon Jones - Jones is a big cornerback who could also play safety at the next level and has excellent range and ball skills. He’s not quite at the same level as Jalen Ramsey was out of high school but his versatility is reminiscent.

QB Harrison Bailey - Bailey is a tough comparison because he does everything well but doesn’t stand out in one particular area. However he’s just a winner and a leader, and he will compete early for a starting job. He has improved his ability to improvise and extend the play and that’s crucial.

... And how about those we debated long and hard about when it came to five-stars? Here are some we could regret.


quote:

WR Kayshon Boutte - OK, people keep saying I don’t think he’s fast. Boutte is plenty fast as proven by his track times. He also catches the ball effortlessly. However, on the football field he lacks that elite burst we look for in a wide receiver who has good but average size. But I get a feeling I’m going to regret this one.

TE Michael Mayer - Mayer will likely have a very good college career and beyond that become an NFL standout which is why I’ll be happy we have him so highly-ranked. But is he that freaky, elite athlete at the tight end position that warrants a fifth star? He falls just short.

DT Timothy Smith - I’m including him here because I think Smith is a five-star. I would have loved to see him dominate at an all-star game to prove it to others so let’s keep an eye on him. This is how I like my defensive tackles out of high school — athletic and an elite pass rusher.

OT Walker Parks - Parks has that build you want as an offensive tackle heading into college because he can add a lot of good weight and get stronger each year. We look back at some of the recent first-rounders at the position and many weren’t massive in high school. Parks is one to keep an eye on.

LB Drew Sanders - Sanders is a long and athletic linebacker in a great year at the top for the position. He could grow into a hybrid and he makes a ton of plays. He could be one of those guys who fell short because we didn’t get a final eval.

It's lame that they hammer kids' rankings who didn't participate in all-star games due to injury.
