Bone also thinks we lead for Knott and Nigel Warrior.

Our staff feels pretty good about both of those guys.
Privately, we feel good about Warrior and Deangelo Gibbs next year as a package deal.

Apparently we made a pretty big move on Knott just before The Opening that delayed him committing to F$U. Surprisingly, our staff supposedly feels good about Knott right now. I think other staffs do too, but our news on him is the most recent. Guess we'll see.

Does that guy still do 1 hour question sessions with fans or is it all behind a pay wall now?

Dont think he is doing that weekly hourly thing anymore. Might start during the season.

Dear Ben Davis,
You don't have to sign with Bama, but please not Auburn.

Don't be surprised if this guy doesn't sign with Bama. Everything he says is essentially "I want to forge my own path, I don't want to go to dad's school."
Marlon Humphrey never visited Auburn this much.

Hey, as long as we get Mack Wilson, I honestly will be ok. But I seriously doubt the son of Alabama's all time leading tackler goes anywhere else. He's just being open minded, no point in not exploring every option you have. Even if it's a stupid one to anyone who truly has Alabama in their heart lol. Only way I would take an auburn visit as a recruit is to set them up and tell everyone they tried paying me with evidence to support.

Free Bleacher Report Article on Devin White
It was way too much to copy and paste. There's a ton of info about White at the link.

It's no secret that interested college coaches have the same conversations about Devin White.
Is he a linebacker at the next level, or a running back? Perhaps an H-back? Maybe a hybrid defensive end?
When discussing White, the answer is simple.
Yes. Yes to all. And then some.
"Effectively, I can play linebacker, wide receiver, running back, anything on special teams, wherever," said White, a 4-star athlete from North Webster High School in Springhill, Louisiana. "I'm going to work hard at everything just for the team. I'd play tight end just to give the team an extra boost, because I like to win."

After thorough study using specific scoring criteria, Bleacher Report National Recruiting Analysts Damon Sayles, Sanjay Kirpalani and Tyler Donohue have graded the top 200 players in the 247Sports composite rankings and provided in-depth analysis on each young athlete. Bleacher Report will run a position-by-position breakdown series of the best college football recruits in the class of 2016.Here we present the Top Wide Receivers.
Pass-catchers play a prominent role in the 2016 college football recruiting cycle, claiming more spots among top-200 prospects than any other position. It's a group that figures to elevate aerial attacks for offenses across the nation in coming seasons.
We've spent the past year scouting these dynamic young talents through in-person assessments at camps, showcases and live game action, along with film study. Here's a closer look at wide receivers who've emerged as elite members of a star-studded class, grading each recruit based on speed, agility, release, route running, blocking and—of course—hands.

34. 4-star Cavin Ridley
Height/Weight: 6'1 ½", 198 pounds
High School: Deerfield Beach High School; Deerfield Beach, Florida
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 34 WR; No. 188 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 86/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, Florida, Florida State, Ohio State and Tennessee
Cavin Ridley attended camps in Columbus and Knoxville, continuing to explore his options. His recruitment really started to heat up midway through the 2014 season, as offers steadily arrived from Alabama, West Virginia, Louisville, Florida and Florida State. His older brother, 5-star 2015 receiver and Crimson Tide newcomer Calvin Ridley, is among the country's top incoming college freshmen.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Ridley has an opportunity to step out of his brother's shadow this season following a 2014 campaign that saw him make strides. There's an instinctual element to his game that puts him in position to feed on defensive secondaries at any sign of a lapse in coverage. There's plenty of work to put in from a route-running perspective (16/20), and additional strength will help him fire off the line with more effectiveness, particularly when opponents are pressing. Ridley is nimble enough (14/15 agility) to weave through traffic and salvage plays that otherwise appear lost.

32. 4-star Mykel Jones
Height/Weight: 6'0", 180 pounds
High School: Patterson High School; Patterson, Louisiana
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 32 WR; No. 184 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 92/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, LSU, Texas, Tennessee and USC
Nick Saban and the Crimson Tide plucked 4-star pass-catcher Daylon Charlot from Patterson last national signing day and now have their sights set on younger teammate Mykel Jones. Alabama faces stiff competition from in-state LSU, while USC and Tennessee are other compelling contenders away from home.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Jones is asked to shoulder a substantial load for his high school squad, which should continue with Charlot moving on to Tuscaloosa. He's an extremely elusive (15/15) athlete who uses that quick-twitch wiggle to secure space upon his release (19/20). His ability to pull down improbable receptions is admirable and occasionally requires acrobatic efforts that many other players simply can't accomplish. Jones caught 108 passes for 1,764 yards and 20 touchdowns during the past two seasons, adding 557 rushing yards.

21. 4-star Darnell Salomon
Height/Weight: 6'3", 210 pounds
High School: Miami Central High School; Miami
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 21 WR; No. 120 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 90/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, Florida State, LSU, Oklahoma and Oregon
Alabama emerged as the leader for Darnell Salomon earlier this summer, and he is focused on five schools at this stage. A recruiting journey that started with offers from Miami, UCF and Georgia Tech as a sophomore is expected to conclude with an announcement before his senior season.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Salomon, who transferred to Miami Central from Champagnat Catholic midway through his junior year, averaged 25 yards per reception last season en route to 673 yards and 10 touchdowns, according to Corey Bender of Scout.com. That statistic serves as evidence of how elusive he can be in the open field (29/30 for combined speed and agility). His athleticism serves him well in crowded situations that require major leaps or acrobatic midair maneuvering. At this stage, there is more required from Salomon in terms of route-running precision (16/20) and overall blocking efforts to cement his spot among the nation's elite receivers.

14. 4-star AJ Brown
Height/Weight: 6'1", 220 pounds
High School: Starkville High School; Starkville, Mississippi
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 14 WR; No. 97 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 93/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, Florida, Mississippi State, Ole Miss and Tennessee
A.J. Brown picked up a pair of in-state SEC offers early last September, landing scholarship opportunities at Ole Miss and Mississippi State. By the end of last season, Alabama and Auburn joined the pursuit, and the process picked up again this spring when offers flowed in from USC, Texas and Tennessee.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Brown is a bully off the snap, already exhibiting the type of doggedness against defensive backs that college coaches covet. This physicality allows him to gain separation early, and he cruises downfield with impressive acceleration (14/15) for an athlete of his stature. That size enables him to essentially push opponents away from his body at the line of scrimmage, forcing coaches to think twice about pressing him close. When the ball is in his vicinity, Brown goes full-extension to secure possession and becomes an absolute load to bring down in one-on-one tackle situations.

8. 4-star Tyrie Cleveland
Height/Weight: 6'2 ½", 189 pounds
High School: Westfield High School; Houston
247Sports Composite Ranking: No. 8 WR; No. 75 overall
Bleacher Report Score: 96/100
Uncommitted: Considering Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Oklahoma and TCU
Tyrie Cleveland backed off a verbal commitment to Texas A&M in mid-April, creating opportunities for other programs to creep back into the picture. Baylor, Georgia, UCLA and Tennessee are teams that have offered since his decommitment, while the Aggies, TCU and Houston are in-state options still in play. There's sentiment that he is a "package deal" with 4-star quarterback and Westfield teammate Dillon Sterling-Cole.
Bleacher Report Analysis
Cleveland was arguably the breakout star this summer at The Opening, teaming up with Elite 11 MVP Shea Patterson to win a star-studded seven-on-seven tournament. He made every catch asked of him, pulling in contested passes, running crisp routes and simply burning top-level defensive backs with elite speed (15/15; timed at 4.32 seconds in the 40-yard dash). There's also a confidence Cleveland brings to the field that tells you he believes no defender can keep him in check one-on-one, an attitude he often validates. Cleveland, who caught 53 passes for 1,105 yards and 13 touchdowns, will likely end up much higher on this list before national signing day.

Great question but I give up trying to figure it out. I think we had a few last year that we were able to backcount to the previous year. Even if not 2 (Taylor and Flowers) are already gone. I guess Bell will back count to last year. I would not be surprised we take 7 to 8 more.
