Albeit mine was on twitter you and I posted that at the same time. That's weird.

Not always true. Some of the regional guys have broken impending commitments before actual team-site guys. Kipp Adams, who is very invested in the state of Georgia, is an example. There have been a few times when he has broken stories about guys on the verge of committing to Auburn even before Neibuhr/Hoke.

He's DL/OL for me.

Same here, and which one (OT/DE) he plays for us will depend on how much more he grows.

Added 4* QB Dwayne Haskins & 4* WR Dredrick Snelson plus move Bro-Hamm & Marquez Callaway to OT & WR respectively on the targets post. LINK

Very true. I just wanted to make crystal ball as simple to follow and as simple to use for those who do not pay the attention to recruiting or the crystal ball as you or I or a few others do.

Didn't mean to imply that we did but, if Rice ends up on the DL like some here are advocating, we have 2 almost a year from signing day. If somebody like Bro Hamm were to commit that would be 3 with our three biggest fish still out there.

Coaching staffs take that into account, obviously. Rochester and Davidson will have spots, period.

When has a five star ever been scared off by a three star?

Are we still in it at all for Keion Joyner or is he all LSU?

What about Xavier Gaines? Is he a take or a backup plan if we miss out on Pass or another higher rated QB?

Ending up there and being recruited there are 2 differenrt things. As of now the staff is looking at him as a TE, not DE

No. We are looking at Bro-Hamm more as an OT than DL. If he were to commit that would still be 1 DL on the staff's current projections.

Stop worrying so mch.

Yes and yes. This is a case where we are 2nd and 2nd sucks because 2nd is a ways behind.

Has not been a take to this point. That is why I don't have him on the top targets post right now.

Gaines isn't a take at this point. To be honest, I don't really think we've decided who our top QB target is yet. One of FSU's insiders CB'd Gaines to us today.

So what is our QB hierarchy at this point?

Unknown. QB hierarchy doesn't usually get settled until summer.

Shea Patterson is up there but he's unlikely.

This for the most part. I'm also not as bullish as other on AU's chances with Pass.

Randy won't like this. Per BMatt Holyfield is now the top target at RB.

Not sure I like it

I'll have to do some more research on him.


ETA: Though, when I first watch some of his film, he did remind me a lot of Brad Lester. Very quick feet.

Holyfield really stood out at the Rising Seniors event. North/South runner, great feet, really strong, and he can catch as well. He's legit. Nothing wrong with him being our top target. Lots of top-end schools are after him big time.

not saying he isn't legit, just seems early for us to pin him as our top back in this whole class
