re: Class of 2016 Recruiting MEGATHREAD: Waiting On Demetris Robertson Edition

Clinton 48, Northwest Rankin 21: At Brandon, Cam Akers rushed for 93 yards and a touchdown and passed for two more scores as the Arrows (6-2, 4-0) rolled past the Cougars (5-4, 1-3). Kam’ron White caught a 28-yard pass from Akers, and he returned an interception 65 yards for a TD in the fourth quarter. Braden Smith had TD passes of 33 and 17 yards and a 1-yard touchdown run for Northwest Rankin.

He kind of sort of predicted Terrell Hall and Jeffery Simmons to be in our class.

Some of my thoughts on our remaining football targets:

My personal rankings of our WR targets in order: Demetris Robertson, AJ Brown, Keith Gavin, Cavin Ridley, Mykel Jones, the rest

It seems like Dexter Lawrence is our last shot at adding an elite DT in this class. I think Kendell Jones will need a few years in the program before making an impact and Raekwon is pretty overrated IMO. Really hope we can land Lawrence

I like Terell Hall and Jeff Simmons on the edge. All the recruiting analysts think we are in great position for both. I don't think Marlon Davidson will seriously consider us unless AU absolutely implodes

Still confident in Wilson and Davis being a part of this class. Interesting that the Cali LB Kelly will give us an OV. Probably too little too late but you never know.

Knott to Bama is looking pretty good. Saw some rumors that he is already a silent commit. There has been some buzz about Shyheim coming back but I am skeptical. I was feeling good about Warrior but it seems like he might be trending to Tennessee now. I think Josh Perry ends up elsewhere

Even if we don't land Little, there are still some pretty good OTs left out there to finish an already outstanding OL class. Still hope Greg rolls with the tide though

I'm already worried about our RB situation next year. I agree with JAG in that Emmons is the best back in the country this year, but who knows if he will qualify? We definitely need another RB in this class and I think Devin White is a good fit. Hasn't been a lot of buzz around him lately but I think it just makes sense.

Feel good about the QB position with Hurts.

Our 2017 class is off to a great start. I like Jake Fromm and he seems like he will be a real leader in this recruiting class. Don't think we will pursue any other QBs

Obviously like where we are with the RB situation. I haven't seen enough tape of the RB from Tuscaloosa to have an opinion on him yet but he could be a nice addition

I really hope we keep OG Netori Johnson. Have heard nothing but good things about him. I was on the UGA 247 board a lot before and after we played them and there was a thread about recruits and one of the posters who attended the game said that Johnson was the clear alpha dog of the entire recruit visitor section and was talking to everyone. Other than that, would he nice to land the two instate tackles in Troxell and Randolph. I don't really worry about OL recruiting these days. Our actual Offensive line play, on the other hand...

I'd be shocked if Bowie out of MS actually signed with Bama. I think Jerry Jeudy and Nico Collins will go to Bama. Also I hope that WR from up in Missouri whose name I can never remember will round out the WR group. He recently released a top 3 of Bama, Mizzou and OSU. The 2016 and 2017 WR classes could both be great.

I don't really know any 2017 defensive linemen yet

I think Markail Benton goes to AU and Nate McBride goes to UGA unfortunately. There's obviously a ton of time before they actually have to decide, but that's the vibe I get. There's been some buzz about that ILB from up in North Alabama and Bama lately. Dylan Moses is going to LSU. I think we might miss out on a bunch of our top LB targets in 2017

Could be an interesting secondary class. If we land Warrior in 2016, we'd be in great shape for Gibbs. Early on I though William Poole was Bama bound but I don't know about that anymore. We have the safety commit from GA. I know the top safety in the class is from Texas and was at the Wisconsin game but I have no idea if there is any real interest.

I always type way more than I want to lol

He's heard good things on Robertson coming back.

I sure do wish we could get more stats from recruits' games on Friday night. TS does a good job posting what he finds. But for some reason, apparently the pay sites don't put this info out. Or maybe it's tough to collect. Rarely am I able to hear what more than 3-4 of our commits are doing from week to week.
