I don't think the staff will accept a commit now days if there is a chance he won't.

Old info. Up until a month or so ago, it was believed he wouldn't have the grades. Now we are very confident he'll make it. I'm not sure what has changed, but Bama, Ohio State, and FSU really turned the heat up on him about a month or so ago.

Jacoby Stevens participated in a satellite camp today in Nashville. Ansley, Pruitt, Kiffin, and Locksley were there and basically followed him to every drill he did. Barton Simmons thinks Bama have a great chance at Stevens.

He also said that there's likely another that will move on (not Tua or Najee). Not sure who he's referring to, though.


As much as we all would like to not face it (based on prior statements and rise in the rankings) our hold on the #1 long snapper could be slipping.

Not sure OSU really did much. He listed OSU in his top 5 and never visited. OSU turned away Ewell apparently and are only looking at Tufele.

I do think OSU wanted him to visit and making Bert unhappy is always fun. Is he the kid who never had an Arky offer for some odd reason

The loss of the lone snapper, might open up a spot for Jeff Thomas or Levi Randolph.

Speaking of Chase Young, the highlight link on the first page was out of date. Here is his updated Hudl profile with Junior film:

Highlights

ETA: He even labeled his Junior highlight reel "Savage Season."

Steve Wiltfong had this to say regarding one of our visitors this week:

quote:

The intriguing name is Conliffe. We may have him seriously under-ranked. Could be a Top247 recruit if not Top100.

I'm bored so I looked up Akial Byers' ranking on all four services:

Rivals - No overall ranking; #17 ranked DT; 3-star
ESPN - 66th overall; #7 DT
Scout - #158 overall; #10 DT
247 - #679 overall; #44 DT

Composite - #228 overall; #13 DT

ESPN rankings are so different from the others sometimes on certain prospects. Sometimes 247 does as well
