Daniel Faalele, OT
247Sports ranking – No. 331 (3-star)
At 6-foot-9, 390 pounds, there isn't a more unique prospect in this class. Faalele has never played a full season of football before and yet his athleticism at that size is already making him one of the most highly recruited linemen in the country. If he can pass this test, we won't be able to keep him in the 3-star range any longer. Michigan is the current Crystal Ball leader.

Azeez Ojulari, DE
247Sports ranking – No. 180
Not enough people are talking about this kid. He's one of the nation's most athletic edge rushers and while he's ranked as a four-star right now, I wouldn't be surprised if he's quietly got five-star level potential. Long 6-foot-4 edge rushers with 4.7 speed are hard to find. Alabama is currently his only Crystal Ball pick.

Five with questions to answer
quote:
Brey Walker, OT
247Sports ranking – No. 9 (5-star)
Not often does a five-star arrive in Oregon with questions to answer but Walker is worth monitoring. A year ago, Walker looked like a candidate for No. 1 in the class of 2018 but his junior film took a step back and his camp performance this spring wasn't quite as dominant as a year ago. In Walker's favor, though, is that he's massive and he's a big-time competitor. The Oklahoma commit could send his stock back up with a strong week.

Teradja Mitchell, ILB
247Sports ranking – No. 137 (Composite ranking No. 38)
We've got Mitchell ranked a lot lower than the Composite does in part because we worry about his ability to play in space and his athleticism as a 5.0 40 guy at 243 pounds. We've got no doubt the Ohio State commit will thump you, but Oregon will be a great setting to test the stuff we're not so sure about.

Alontae Taylor – WR
247Sports ranking – No. 230 (Composite ranking 122)
Taylor is a twitched up, sudden athlete that has got a lot of upside. As a high school quarterback, though, he's not very polished at the wide receiver position. This week will be a great test to see how he catches the ball, tracks the ball in the air and separates as a route-runner. If he can show improvement in those areas, the Tennessee commit could see his ranking rise.

Reuben Unije, OT
247Sports ranking – No. 374 (Composite ranking No. 201)
There's no question that Unije is a big, extremely athletic offensive lineman but he didn't start as a junior and he's got limited meaningful film. He's improved a lot over the last year but we'll find out a lot about what he is based on how he responds to battling it out in pads in Oregon.

Tank Jenkins, OG
247Sports ranking – No. 386 (Composite ranking No. 300)
Jenkins got a lot of early hype as a young guy with offers in Alabama but he hasn't really developed physically like you'd like. He's sawed off at under 6-foot-3 so we need to see some domination at guard this week. Alongside Jamaree Salyer and Trey Hill, Jenkins will have some good players to compare himself to.

It's my own fault, I got pissed and broke my laptop
I don't own a computer personally even though my job is 100% dependent on them. People in my office look at me like I'm crazy when I tell them. They all do coding and shite at home as a hobby and I watch football.
My posting at night is done via cell phone or tablet.

I figured you would have all kinds of computers
I don't blame you for not having one though. I'm sure your tired of them by the end of a work day.

I would have a meltdown if I had to use one after hours. My neighbors are always asking me to fix their stuff for them. I don't mind it, but I always tell them I'm taking it to the office to fix it. I'm not doing it on my own time.
My most prized possession is my den television. 70 inches of 4K lusciousness.

Alabama hosted the nation's top dual-threat quarterback on an unofficial visit over the weekend, a source confirmed to AL.com
Justin Fields, a five-star recruit from Kennesaw, Ga., visited Alabama with his family. SEC Country and BamaOnline first confirmed the news. Per SEC Country, Fields' mother posted about the visit on social media.
Fields didn't mention Alabama among his top schools in a recent interview with 247Sports, but maybe a trip to Alabama has changed that. Alabama does not have a quarterback committed yet in this class.
Fields recently visited Auburn, Florida, Georgia and Florida State. He will be in Beaverton, Ore., this week for The Opening finals. AL.com will be at the event. Other top Alabama quarterback targets such as Matt Corral of Long Beach, Calif., Jack Tuttle of San Marcos, Calif., (Utah commit) and Tanner McKee of Corona, Calif., will be participating.
The 6-foot-3, 221-pound Fields, a former Penn State commit, is the nation's No. 3 overall recruit. He threw for 2,770 yards and 23 touchdowns and rushed for 1,176 yards and 15 scores for Harrison High School.

Fields is good, but there is no way he should be #3. That's just my opinion though

LSU just took their third 3-star RB for the Class of 2018 in less than a week.
I thought Harold Joiner was at the top of their RB board?

2019 4-star Safety Jalen McCollough has two visits scheduled to Alabama next month.

I can't wait to see the backtracking that's going to happen, by their fans, when those 3 stars are told to take a hike in January. They are quick to condemn other teams for doing this.

They are having some lively conversations regarding this exact scenario on the LSURb. I can't believe they are at 23 commitments before July 1st.

I can't wait for the "spin" in January.
23 committed players this early, means that it could get very ugly. Hurt feelings and all kinds of pissed off parents and coaches.
