Exactly. Marshall would never be that coherent in his tweeting. Juco Nick Marshall with that many coherent sentences? I don't think so.

I've heard very little on the recruiting front lately.

One thing I have heard (and I should probably protect the person who said this, but it's one of the usual four guys I reference) is that Gibbs' sister is expected to be taking a job in the UGa athletic department (excuses? Well, either she is or she isn't... I don't know... this is just what was posted and I'm repeating), and that Ansley worked HARD on McKinney this past week, which paid off, but still surprised the staff.

Also heard that we were SERIOUSLY analyzing Monty Rice until the last second, considering whether to try and flip him (and maybe still have been this weekend, but isn't he expected to enroll in UGa this week?). This scares me to death about wondering if we're worried about Allen flipping to L6U (even though, I've heard nothing to suggest that in any way on our end).

I know one of the guys has been consistent all along in not wanting Gibbs (and even saying it when many thought we were leading for him), and was thrilled that he's not coming our way. Apparently McKinney's big senior season has surprised not only Bama's staff, but his HS coach, Propst. Not sure how much should be said about that. But suffice it to say that it's a very pleasant "late bloomer" development. He looks light years better than he did this past Spring at the camps.

One of the guys is nervous about the Barn's involvement with Solomon's family, but have heard nothing new from him on that in well over a week. Hopefully everything he's saying publicly is the way it will remain until he signs. Garner's involvement will be nerve-wracking when he OVs there, though.

Really nothing earth shattering other than the Rice thing being a surprise to me (if true).

Nobody seems to be saying anything different about Najee other than what the other mods on the other sites are saying.

Oh yeah. One other thing. One of the guys has a friend that was helping out at the UAAA game practice week. After the first day, this coach said that Jeudy might be even better at the same stage than Amari Cooper was coming in. I'll have to see that to believe it, and it sounds a bit "Gump-ish" (as advanced as Amari was as a route runner), but hopefully it turns out to be true. The same coach also singled out Chris Allen and raved about him being the most dominant LB there. If I can think of anything else, I'll post it.

McKinneys Jr reel is impressive, and the Bama staff accepted his commitment early in the process so... I think it may be more accurate to say he was already really good, but maybe took his play to an elite level his Sr. season.

I haven't seen his sr reel yet.

I'm really surprised at the lack of pressure Auburn put on Oklahoma's offense.

They were stout throughout the entire season and looked lost tonight.
They couldn't finish a tackle in the backfield. The Auburn defense couldn't get off the field...never seen as many 3rd and longs completed or penalties giving up 1st downs.

A little change up today on how they're doing practice.
West and East will practice separately from 10am-11:30am CT than the two will practice against each other from 12pm-1pm CT

Watch four-star class of 2019 Alabama commitment Trey Sanders perform at the Under Armour Future 50 event
John Garcia, Jr.

Evaluation Notes:
Alabama commitment and Bradenton (Fla.) IMG running back Trey Sanders saw an increased role with the loaded high school roster and impressed once more in Orlando among the top underclassmen in America over the weekend. He was able to win one-on-one battles on a consistent basis with good speed and change of direction skill, but his ability to adjust to the football impressed just as much. He went up over two defensive backs for one catch (full video above) to showcase leaping ability as well, some of the reasons Scout considers him an athlete and not just a running back. The sophomore excelled in running back drills, however, as it seems like the likeliest transition position at this time.
