Mike Farrell of Rivals picks us to finish No 1 after signing day. He says he is not certain but that is his best guess. Think we are ranked the lowest by Rivals right now.

Had someone told me to write a script for this past couple recruiting weekends and this board, it would have looked identical to how it's playing out. Incredibly predictable. There was 100 percent certainty that an OM writer or two would talk about how they're suddenly feeling good about landing Brown (about 10 minutes upon him being on campus). And a 100 percent chance there would be a Bama fan meltdown over it. It really is worse than a woman on her period with all of the rollercoaster-ing of emotions going on. But it was the easiest thing in the world to predict.

Bama commit may visit The U today and Nick's not happy

"It's still in the air - I'll know tomorrow," Simmons told CaneSport Thursday night. He was planning to take the visit ... but then 'Bama coaches got wind of it.

"Alabama came to the house today and talked about it," Simmons said."You know how they are when somebody's committed and taking a visit. They're pissed off."
...

Asked if the Canes have a chance to land him in just a few days, Simmons said, "That's why I'm going out there. I don't know much about it other than what they've told me. I have to see it for myself."

Cane coaches have told him plenty so far. He says they stay in daily contact, and Richt took an in-home visit with him a week ago.
...


Of where his recruitment stands overall, Simmons said, "I'm mainly committed to Alabama right now, but I'm looking at Miami. And Georgia is still heavily recruiting me too (he visited there officially earlier this month), so we'll see how that goes."

Simmons says ... assuming he goes ahead with the visit plans ... that he'll take the UM trip with his father and stepmother.

This is the most difficult year in history to predict... even 4-5 days before signing day. That, in and of itself, is ridiculous. But here you go.

Lashley
Irv Smith
Jacobs
Aj Brown
Hall
Wilson
Davis
Juarez
Michail Carter
Simmons (I feel incredibly dumb for this one)
Knott
Mayden


Josh Perry goes elsewhere. Something like 28 total. One on our commitment list greyshirts (have heard that one will, but not seen a name given... probably Riley Cole).

And yeah, I know. Simmons seems ridiculous. And yeah, I know we have next to no chance to sign all those Miss guys. But I'm going to go with it.

Much to their own foolishness, most likely, the staff felt GREAT about Simmons a couple days ago.

Dickerson also wouldn't surprise me. I'll guess we play Diggs at WR since we didn't get Gavin, and not sign 2 more WRs.

Incidentally, most of the names on that list have been private commitments. I still don't believe all of the ones privately committed sign with us, though.

Another name that wouldn't surprise me if we sign him is Kobe Jones. He's viewed as a really good player with excellent upside. Any other year, he'd probably be one of the most coveted DL recruits in the country. But this class is so loaded with DL guys that he gets overshadowed.

I mean, "Why the frick do these parents care?" is just.......

People bitch and moan about "the downfall of America" and blame all kinds of bad behavior on bad parenting and the death of the traditional family and then turn around and complain about a kid's parent being involved because it might not benefit their favorite football team??? GTFO.

As I said, parents like Landon Collins' mom and Cam Newton's dad can go to hell but they are the exception not the rule.

Thank the lord for parents like the Kouandjios - they saw their son make a rash decision that they thought was a bad decision and helped guide him. If they had followed the stupid "why do these parents care, let the kid decide" train of thought, their son would have ended up at Auburn.

I guess as a mom who has a son beginning the process of selecting a college and who is being looked at for the opportunity to play golf at the college level that whole "What the frick do these women know?" really burned my arse.

I don't understand why some people have to get so negative. Anyways, I know we'll end up strong.

We currently have 17, I think we'll end with 26. Here is who I believe we get:

LB
Ben Davis
Lyndell Wilson
Marquis Juarez (No Vosean, but this kid is electric)

WR
A.J. Brown (I don't believe OM hype machine, sry)

RB
Joshua Jacobs

CB
Nigel Knott (him or Shyheim; it not Shyheim things get interesting because Josh Perry could flip opening up another spot)

DE
Terrell Hall (Again, I don't believe OM hype)
Jamar King


TE
Irvin Smith (Wish we got Asiasi, didn't know we were looking to take THREE tightends. Wow)



- I don't believe we have enough relationship to get Derrick Brown he seems to be going to aubrewns.

- I believe Michail Carter wants to go to UGA, if only UGA could get Brown it would push him to us.

- I don't even believe R.Gary is going to visit, even if he did whatever negative recruiting Harbaugh and the plainsmen did? Worked. Tremendously

- Jeffery Simmons, seems to like us, but he seems all Ole Miss. Same for Pennamon who is already committed there.

- Jack Jones is all USC

- Landon Dickerson could join but he probably will be leaning FSU due to us already taking two top tackles.
