Private commitment doesn't really mean silent commitment.

I agree that it's most likely Boykin

How are they different? To me they are both commits to the staff without the recruit going public with the commit. I am open to a different interpretation though.

I said private yesterday. Only used silent because it was what someone else posted.

Boykin is known, and was said to be already about to commit.

Why would Keith make a point of saying that the person who told him wouldn't give the name? BTW, it doesn't matter to me, because I think all of them are committed within a month or so.

We will find out Monday because someone I know was there and they will share.

ETA: By find out, I mean if it was Boykin. I am sticking with it being Antwan Jackson. All the uga mods are throwing in CB to AU now.

AUC notes LINK

-AU appears in excellent shape with antwuan
-likely announces this Summer
-Plans to visit UGA in July

-AU knows teams will go after 2017 5* OT Calvin Ashley but they are not really worried about a visit he had to UF a few days ago
-He told AU before the trip he was going
- went to try to help a teammate get some attention apparently
-Will visit AU July 24-26
-AU feels good

-AU has picked up recruitment on 2017 4* Opelika QB Jake Bentley
-Had a great 7 on 7 tourney yesterday at AU
-was apparently as good as 2017 5* UGA QB Bailey Hockman

Really? Bama fans are pretty confident with him and Michigan seems to be the only real contender. You really think we have passed bama and drawn close to even with Michigan?

I have no clue. Just relaying what the Michigan Rivals reporter said. He said it's likely an AU Michigan battle for the moment.

It would be if we could have a solid DLine for more than 1 year at a time every now and then.

Chicken/Egg

So it seems pretty obvious we decided we wanted Hamm after all and when we told him that he de-committed and is about to commit to AU? Wonder what changed our minds?

Yes but there are a number of kids who were granted immediate eligibility the past few weeks.

It just takes a coach that can turn the lower rated guys into stars. After that the higher rated guys will start coming. Until then we are fighting a losing battle.

I think our DL recruiting has actually been some of our best the last 4-5 years.

Lawson
Adams
Wright
Russell
Whitaker
Lemonier
Cowart
Daniel
Lambert
Tega
Thornton
Williams
Nero
Owens
Bradley
Sanders
Carter

All those guys were 4 stars, many high 4 or 5. It wasn't until last year, before Boom, and so far this year DL was such a concern. Boom really saved us with Cowart and Tega switching to 2015. Otherwise it would have been a disaster. If we can get Davidson, Jackson, Clayton, and one more big tackle in this class it will be hard to blame recruiting for any lack of DL production.

I didn't. I blame coaching or lack of lately on the problems recruiting.

Keith mentioned that Gus doesn't want Hamm to commit until he's done taking visits. That will be part of accepting his commit, it appears.
