Matt Ponatoski

Ponatoski is a little bit of a wild card because the four-star from Cincinnati (Ohio) Moeller wants to play baseball and football in college. Alabama has emerged as a real contender for him but what if Thomalla flips before Ponatoski makes his decision?

Oregon is also a key player but would the Ducks take him if Lyons commits? If Lyons goes to BYU then Oregon makes way more sense.

Kentucky and Arkansas are the two others in his top four as things shake out.

Tayden Kaawa

A four-star talent who hasn’t seen his recruitment really take off, that changed earlier this week when Alabama offered. The Crimson Tide are juggling Thomalla, Ponatoski and now Kaawa, who has all the credentials after throwing for more than 3,000 yards and 35 touchdowns last season.

If not the Crimson Tide, this one could be wide open.

Am I making up that Bama was trying to take 2 QBs this cycle, or did I read that here?

Yes, we do. If he's THAT athletic, you sign him and then figure out where he'll play. We'll be thrilled with Jireh, though.

Just popping in for the first time because I don’t follow recruiting heavily, but even to the more casual fan, it seems like the energy around the program is super positive considering we went 9-4 last year.

Always seems like there’s some good news coming across my feed.

He and Jireh Edwards are both scheduled to announce on July 5th. We land those two, in conjunction with Edmonds and Gibson, our secondary is going to be filthy for the next couple years.
