What's with unranked Christian Darrisaw being the top ranked player in the 247 rankings?

From Tigerpaw1:

quote:

KN put up an insider, here's summary 

- AU continue to feel good about where they stand with 4* DT Coynis Miller who is planning on committing on October 14th. The confidence stems from Miller's relationship with Rodney Garner and Garner's closeness with Miller's parents. Also Miller could have the change to play pretty early with the transfers of Antwaun Jackson and Byron Cowart. Not a slam dunk tho. UF & Bama are both major threats 

- No official visitors this week which is a change as there was some talk there might be a few this weekend. The staff wants to save most of the official visits for after the season. Those who plan on signing early like Asa Martin will have an official during the season tho. KN says visitor list still being finalized and will release it sometime tomorrow 

- There's a chance 5* QB Justin Fields visits this weekend but it's not set in stone. He told KN earlier this week "maybe" and KN says Fields could show up anywhere this weekend. UGA is trending. AU felt good over the summer about their chances but not so much anymore 

- AU is in early stages of evaluating Torrance Gibson. They haven't really started recruiting him and KN says he's been told that Lindsey really hasn't spent much time looking into Gibson. KN says no certain thing AU will take a 2nd QB if they don't get Fields. Stidham leaving early would obviously change that 

- Burns will be at 4* WR Seth Williams game tonight and there's a chance Gus Malzahn could be there as well. AU continues to feel good about where they stand with him. Also could have a coach or 2 on road this Friday but no details yet 

- Despite recent offer from UGA, AU still feels like 4* WR Matthew Hill is a solid verbal 

- 3* TE Michael Parker is planning on attending his first AU game this Saturday. Coaching staff would love to land him but won't take him unless they get assurances that he will sign early in December so they don't have to worry about Bama stealing him away late. AU staff fell in love with his skillset at camp this fall and feel he has a very high ceiling

With Mike Riley seemingly out the door I don't see why any kid would be considering Nebraska at this point.


I sure wouldn't mind getting their recruiting coordinator on our staff at some point. Whatever they're doing in recruiting (Certainly not on the field, though) is remarkable. They're in the thick of it for a ton of guys this year kind of out of the blue.

They were last year too at this point, but most of those kids signed elsewhere. He's not a very good closer.

Riley is probably the closer. So... yeah. He's not very good.

Watching Iowa State's QB, Jacob Park (he's terrible). Remember when it was between he or Cornwell to be our QB signee a few years ago, and we went with Cornwell? Both are bad QBs. Man, oh man, were we bad at evaluating QBs there for a period of a few years. Granted, they're tough to evaluate anyway.

Getting injured in his Senior season killed Cornwell's development IMO. He had the arm talent to be really, really good.

Good arm, but he was said by several people close to the recruitment to be "not cut out mentally" to be QB. He was also a bit of a jerk. He was asked to host Gehrig Dieter when Dieter came to visit when considering transferring to Bama. Cornwell flat out refused to allow him to stay with him when he needed to room one night on his visit. Not a good teammate.

He probably had a vision that Dieter would drop a perfect pass in the national championship game.

Some dude from big3rollup CB'd Coynis Miller to Florida.

Big3rollup is a website dedicated to following Florida, Florida State and Miami FWIW.

Park has been yelling and arguing with his head coach on the sideline.

He was a thug coming out of high school so that isn't too surprising.

And a third pick as I type.
