“I’m still traveling and looking at places,” Jackson said. “I’m in Florida right now. I visited Florida State today. They offered. I’ll be at Florida tomorrow and I’ll be at Alabama on Friday for their picnic. As of right now, I don’t know where I’m going. I’m still surveying the landscape that’s why I’m out here traveling. I need to see if I’m ready to make a decision.”

Copy & paste is disabled so here's summary. Basically "Love It" means he's extremely confident in his CB pick. "Like It" means he feels good about his CB pick but recruiting can change so more of a AU is trending type of thing. "Leave it" means he liked his CB pick but isn't sure anymore. Could be another team is trending or things have tightened up 

Love It 

4* WR Anthony Schwartz --> All UF 

4* OT Richard Gouraige --> another Gator 

4* OG Tank Jenkins --> He's ready to be done with recruitment & AU looks really good. Could pop soon 

4* DE Richard Jibunor --> With UGA not offering looking really good for AU 

4* LB Michael Harris --> OHST doesn't have room (for now) & AU is pouncing all over the opportunity. Very close with T-WILL 

3* S Jamien Sherwood --> AU has made a big move and he's visiting again this weekend. Says he won't commit but KN says there's a chance 

Like It 

4* WR Matthew Hill --> Says reason he's here and not in "love it" is because he hasn't committed yet despite all the smoke. Thinks SCAR has made this a real battle. Gut still says it's AU but not as certain 

4* WR Kearis Jackson --> UGA #1, AU #2 but apparently not all sources think it's a lock to UGA. If Fields picks AU could get interesting but as of now still thinks it's all Dawg 

3* TE Tommy Tremble --> Confidence growing he lands at ND 

4* OG Trey Hill --> KN was first to pick UGA for Hill & still feels good about it tho he & his dad are adamant no team is in the lead. FSU is a threat & he's visiting AU again this week but UGA still seems like the pick
 
4* DE Coynis Miller --> AU/BAMA/UF battle with intel saying AU has slight lead. Relationship with Garner being the big thing. UF gets last visit before decision and says never count out Bama 

4* LB Channing Tindall --> Still looks like SCAR is team to beat but AU & UGA making it a race 

4* LB Zakoby McClain --> AU leads but he's only visited once. If he makes it to campus as expected this weekend that should really give AU momentum. If they can get Harris on board too could use that to push McClain as well 

Leave It 

5* QB Justin Fields --> AU/UGA/FSU battle. All the teams are in it but he isn't sure where he goes right now 

4* RB Asa Martin --> Originally looked like AU/UF battle & KN thought location would help win out. Bama's offer changed the game and they probably have slight lead. KN says tho because he's had CB pick there for so long and AU gets another visit he is going to leave it but he's not confident at all 

4* RB Harold Joiner --> No idea what he's gonna do, not even sure if he's gonna visit this weekend 

4* WR Justyn Ross --> AU/BAMA/CLEM battle where KN thinks CLEM might be pick right now. Has had CB pick for AU for some time & since he thinks it's a toss up will keep it on AU but because he's a long way from decision & big year by AU could have an affect will leave it 

4* WR Seth Williams --> Basically not sure where he is on either AU or Bama's board. Belief is if Bama wants him they get him but not sure if they want him 

3* TE Michael Parker --> KN feels might have jumped the gun. Thinks there is a limited window for him to jump on board and he seems to want to wait so AU might go in different direction 

3* DE Andres Fox --> Recruitment has been all over the place with Bama, AU & LSU all looking like landing places at certain times. Now delaying decision & Stanford in the mix. Says if he were to change pick it would be to foggy so just sticking with AU 

3* CB Charles McClelland --> Says it's a hunch pick after his AU offer. Tigers missed on top 2 guys in Armour-Davis & McMichael but will continue to recruit. Not sure if they would take his commitment right now 

3* S Joseph Foucha --> Basically KN doesn't know where he is on LSU & AU board

Who are the most likely players to commit after the Champions Cookout? Any ideas? Surely, we will snag a couple of commits after one of our biggest recruiting weekends...
