Barton Simmons had this to say about Tua:

I talked to one of the Elite 11 coaches that was out in California for the entire Elite 11 finals last weekend. As all of you have heard, Tua was outstanding throughout most of the weekend and the coach mentioned him among the top four most impressive out of the 24 he saw. But I thought it was more interesting what he said about Tua as a personality.
When he listed some of his favorite personalities at the event, Tua made that list of five names too. I asked him what he liked about Tua's personality.
"Tua is the most gracious kid in the bunch. And wildly talented. He's going to crush it."

The post-spring release of the Rivals100 Presented By Under Armour is out and there is no change at the top as Houston (Texas) Episcopal defensive tackle Marvin Wilsonremains the No. 1 prospect in the country. However, following a long spring with thousands of new evaluations, there was some shuffling in the rankings as well as five new five-stars.
“Marvin Wilson remains No. 1 and, despite a really strong group of players near the top of the rankings, it wasn’t much of a discussion,” said Rivals.com National Recruiting Director Mike Farrell. “That’s not to say he will run away with this No. 1 spot bell-to-bell, but each time we see him he’s as good as or better than we expected.”
In fact, the top three prospects in the country remained the same as Antioch (Calif.) Antioch Senior running back Najee Harris, an Alabama commitment, remains No. 2 and Fort Lauderdale (Fla.) St. Thomas Aquinas wide receiver Trevon Grimes stays at No. 3. Brooklyn (N.Y.) Poly Prep offensive tackle Isaiah Wilson also didn’t move as he remained No. 5 while Clemson quarterback commitment Hunter Johnson from Brownsburg, Ind., pushed into the top five at No. 4.
“After the top five we start to see some shakeups including two new five-stars that jumped into the top 10,” said Farrell. “No prospect lost a fifth star this time around but we did have five new ones led by linebacker Baron Browning from Kennedale, Texas. A very strong group of five-stars in the class of 2017 got a lot stronger with this release.”
Here’s a look at the new five-stars.

WR Nico Collins
Recruiting wrap: Alabama, Georgia, Clemson, Michigan and Florida State are all major players for Collins.
Analyst comments: “Big wide receivers who can high point the ball and have great body control are a quarterback’s best friend and that’s Collins in a nutshell. He is tall, has room to fill out and he has reliable hands. He doesn’t get a ton of separation on film but he provides a nice window for the ball, adjusts to poorly thrown balls and is a red zone nightmare for defenders. He’s also a willing and physical blocker.” – Farrell
“Collins is a massive target with very sure hands. He is particularly effective over the middle and on deep routes because of his size, length and ability to high-point the ball. He is a long strider and can stand to refine his route running a bit. There is plenty of room in his frame to fill out. His best football is ahead of him.” – Adam Friedman, Rivals.com Mid-Atlantic Analyst

DeVonta Smith
Rankings change: From No. 241 in the Rivals250 to No. 41
Recruiting wrap: LSU and Alabama appear to be Smith's early favorites.
Evaluation: “People in Louisiana like to compare Smith to NFL superstar Odell Beckham Jr. While it may be a little early for that, it's clear Smith is a special talent. We're watching his development closely and his rise up the ranks could continue.” –Woody Wommack, Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst

Brian Robinson
Rankings change: From No. 145 in the Rivals250 to No. 63
Recruiting wrap: Robinson is committed to Alabama.
Evaluation: “The running back MVP of the Rivals Camp Series in Atlanta, Robinson showcased incredible burst and was a nightmare for linebackers to cover. He has impressive size, so the acceleration can take you off guard. His blend of muscle and quickness makes him special.” – Cassidy

quote:
Mark Webb
Rankings change: From No. 168 in the Rivals250 to No. 66
Recruiting wrap: Georgia and Alabama are in great position with Webb right now but a decision is not imminent.
Evaluation: “Webb has progressed so much from last year to this year. He is much more athletic, looser in his hips, and his route running has improved dramatically. Webb has great hands and makes tough catches look easy. All quarterbacks have to do is get the ball near Webb and he takes care of the rest.” – Adam Friedman, Rivals.com Mid-Atlantic Recruiting Analyst

Tadarian Moultry
Rankings change: From outside the Rivals250 to No. 100
Recruiting wrap: Moultry is committed to Auburn.
Evaluation: “Moultry took home linebacker MVP honors at the Rivals Camp Series in Atlanta and showed great lateral movement. He also shined in drills. His length and agility allowed him to close quickly in coverage against backs and tight ends.” –Cassidy

quote:
DJ Johnson
New rank: 115
Prev. rank: NR
Difference: NA
“Johnson does not do many events, which makes him an even more intriguing prospect because almost every school in the country is offering him. His film is outstanding and shows a defensive end who has the power to get into the backfield at will and the speed to track plays to the sideline unlike many other prospects in this class. His recruitment remains wide open with no favorites.” – Rivals.com National Recruiting Analyst Adam Gorney
Posted on 6/7/16 at 5:41 pm to TideSaint
quote:
KJ Britt
New rank: 122
Prev. rank: NR
Difference: NA
“Britt carries no bad weight and moves as well as any linebacker of his size. His agility and build make him special. Britt seems to favor Auburn but a recent Stanford offer may change things.” – Rivals.com Southeast Recruiting Analyst Rob Cassidy
Posted on 6/7/16 at 5:42 pm to TideSaint
quote:
Hamsah Nasirildeen
New rank: 143
Prev. rank: 226
Difference: +83
“One of the most physically talented players in the class, Nasirildeen is a very intriguing prospect. He is being recruited as a safety but he needs to pay more attention to the details and work on his technique. Both of those things should be easy for Nasirildeen to fix at the next level. He could easily be turned into an impressive outside linebacker if his skills as a safety don’t develop. Alabama, Florida, South Carolina and a few others are in the best position with Nasirildeen.” - Friedman

Aaron Sterling
New rank: 248
Prev. rank: NR
Difference: NA
“Sterling has always been on the edge of four-star status for quite some time and finally got the bump after an impressive camp season and an excellent junior year. He's lightning-fast off the edge and his speed helps make up for what he might lack in size. Sterling is committed to Alabama.” - Wommack
He's still a 3-star though.

LaTrell Bumphus
New rank: 249
Prev. rank: NR
Difference: NA
“Bumphus started his career as a tight end but his recent move to defensive end has sparked interest from some the of the country's top programs. He's still raw but with his athleticism he has a high ceiling and that's why he made the move up the ranks. Alabama, Oregon, Auburn, Tennessee and several others are in the mix for Bumphus.” - Wommack

Will Ignont
New rank: 114
Prev. rank: 55
Difference: -59
“Ignont has added some weight and has lost a step in quickness. Some on staff think it has affected him in coverage but he remains a top-flight linebacker with tremendous size. Ignont's recruitment will likely come down to an in-state battle between Alabama and Auburn.” - Cassidy
