Well that was sudden. So many wr prospects so few spots. Better jump on board while you can.

So where do we go from here?

I've still got these WRs left on my wish list:

Devonta Smith
Jerry Jeudy
Nico Collins
Jeff Thomas
Henry Ruggs

We don't have room for 6. Who gets left out? Thomas? I hate to say it, but Ruggs would be the one I would pass on out of that group.

You need to keep this up. You're like a rabbits foot for commitments.

Check out Shavers' catch and run at 1:10 of his highlight video. 6'6" isn't supposed to outrun and pull away from people like that.

Have seen some speculation recently that Nico needs to have a big senior year on the field and may not be as high on our list as we all assume. It'll be interesting to see how it plays out.

Lilslym on Bol is saying 2 other WR's have said they are coming but until they go public it won't matter. He said Cowan was committed for about a month before he went public.

I've not heard the speed questions. I've heard the issues are with physicality and just not making enough plays. I've seen several people say that Simmons looked a lot better when they saw Clay-Chalkville play this past year. We'll see if he can take it to the next level as a senior.

Speed isn't everything. We can't let Collins go to Au or Mich IMO.

Well Rivals just bumped Collins up to #21 overall in their latest update last week. He's gotta be doing something right.

He's not going to those places. It would likely be UGa if we don't make him a high priority. And who knows? They may even have a shot if we did make him a priority.

There's usually more than meets the eye when it comes to CNS' recruiting board.

If we had 32 slots to give scholarships to for this class, I have no doubt we'd take 5+ receivers. As is, there's a chance we only take 4. And Devonta Smith and Jeudy for SURE have spots. And we seem to love Ruggs. Just no way to know exactly what we do with Nico.

Some around UF's program (think this comes from the staff level) think they have a good chance to flip Leatherwood.

They also think they are going to flip Calvin Asley from the Barn.

So this could just be the normal case of a staff thinking they're going to get everybody without a whole lot of substance to back it up. But this is what they're saying.

I'd take Jeff Thomas over Ruggs and Collins, but the Mizzou posters say he has no chance in hell at qualifying. They may be right or it may be sour grapes after he named Alabama his leader.
