Wilkins did not drop out of the 250. He is #137. Quit getting your info off AUFAMILY.

He was not listed on rivals.com top 250 an hour ago. They must have been messing around with the rankings and had him off.

Yea I saw where someone posted that stat a few weeks ago on the rant and was kind of shocked at how much bates had "improved" on paper last year


I've posted that about Bates a few times. Yeah, he struggled at times because he always wanted the big hit, but as the year went on, he got much more disciplined and wrapped up. I think he's going to have a pretty good year, as long as he doesn't get swallowed up by TE's and pulling guards, which happened some last year.

He's in his sr year, so at this point, I think he realizes what he has to do to be successful at the position. At least I hope he does.

The AUFamily set up is horrible. But Ellitor is not an insider whatsoever
Austudnt23 is really good, as is jonesy, smuphy, & kk.

Rivals must have some kind of vendetta against Bower. He and JJ should have been as sure as it gets for a 250 bump.

True.
Bower is a 4 star for sure. He tore it up at the camp he went to

Totally agree. He is the last of our 3 star guys I definitely think should be a 4* without question.

I'm aware. I just mentioned him because they both clearly earned a 250

I don't exactly remember, but it seems like I remember Rivals bumped him down from a 4* earlier in the year for something. They're not fans

On rivals I think Jason Smith, Bowers, and Toney deserve a 4th star

Look for Green to announce sometime in early October, per JLee.

Restates that Green was going to commit to us on Saturday, but the corch shot it down.

Just to clarify for everyone, Green's coach shot it down. Not Chizik.

Why would his coach shoot it down? Its his decision.

He may not want individual players taking the spotlight away from the entire team. Which makes sense, really.

He shot down rumors of him committing this weekend. When asked why, he replied:
quote:

"Coach Kane (Hermitage head coach) doesn't play like that," said Green with a laugh. "Anyone who knows him knows that wouldn't happen. Our focus is on the game and winning, it can't be about one player."
Also said him and his family want to take their time.

Why am I not surprised that a high school coach once again steps in during the recruiting process. Smh.

I'd tell my coach that, while I appreciate his advice (if it is in fact advice), he needs to respect my decision and I don't really care what he wants ME to do.

Gotta be proud Coach.
