1. Justyn Ross, WR, Central-Phenix City

Height, weight: 6-foot-4, 200 pounds

Original A-List ranking: No. 1

College status: Uncommitted, unsigned. Offers include Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Florida State, Georgia, Miami and Michigan.

The skinny: Ross continues to be the state’s consensus top prospect for 2018. He is a finalist for Class 7A Back of the Year after helping the Red Devils to the state semifinals. He finished with 37 catches for 730 yards and 13 TDs. He also returned a pair of punts for touchdowns and played in both the Under-Armour All-American Game and the Alabama-Mississippi All-Star Classic. Many think Clemson has a chance to pluck him away from the Tide and Tigers. He is scheduled to visit Alabama on Jan. 19 and Auburn on Jan. 26.

Is size on Alfred Thomas correct? I had seen him listed as 6-1 260 for a while.

Boy can't wait to see the barners melt down about this and blame this on him not committing to Bama.

They'll say he was hurt. Can't lie I'd take him tho. He looked good at the Under Armour game.

The best recruiting news of the day is D Harris staying and no need to use a spot on a RB this class.

Listen to the Georgia radio guys. They were trying to get cute with Tua's name, and said they were just gonna call him "Tongue Tied" after that sack in OT. Then he ripped out their hearts and handed it to em

I'm indifferent about Harris staying. Glad Bo left. Ready to see Najee do his thing.

When we have three we get too cute and try to do to much just my opinion. Just need two. Harris and Jacobs would've been enough just my opinion tho.

Agreed. No idea why Damien stayed unless he just wants to finish his degree. Props to him if that is the case.

the difference between the 3rd round and maybe getting into the first, so several million dollars. He's going to be the clear #1, he's got little mileage, the oline is going to be incredible next year, and we are going to have a true passing threat at qb, who's not going to get more rush attempts that the starting running back. Plus this rb draft is loaded

I'm glad Bo left, but very glad Damien stayed. DH is so good and we'd be too thin at RB with both gone, even with Jerome Ford coming in.

Our RB stable of DH, NH, JJ & BR along with Tua, our TEs & WRs, Leatherwood & Wills at OTs and Jonah at OC will be a complete, balanced and talented offense that'll be very tough to defend.
