5* WR Tyjon Lindsey really loved his visit. Apparently we want to use him as both a WR & a RB kind of how we wanted to use Roc I imagine. He seemed really excited about it. I loved this quote
quote:

“It ranked them in my top three,” Lindsey said. “I don’t have an official top three, but if I had one they’d be in there for sure.”


Anyway Ohio State will be tough to beat & he is visiting Bama as well. He wants to announce August 22nd which might be too soon for AU to run down the Buckeyes but sounds like we made a big impact

Occasionally


Also offered 3* S Jordyn Peters yesterday. KN crystal ball'd him to AU. Says he wants to decide by August & apparently AU is high on him. Had a good camp & loves AU so if he is a take sounds like we land him

That is top quality right there.

Looks like Elmore may have an offer already. Auburn is first on the kid and they really like it. Mom posted a bunch of pics and vids on FB recently with the coaches and some workouts.

I hope so. His dad has taken the last couple of Friday's off work I assumed for visits with his Sean Jr. Last time they went down to Auburn he was showing me all the pics with Gus and Kodi and the staff so I'll have to see what he says tomorrow.

Defensive big board slideshow

Summary below

DL
4* Markaviest Bryant - Cousins with Adams & has AU offer. UGA is the leader but will visit next weekend. We have some work to do on this one
4* Isaiah Buggs - #1 JUCO DL who visited AU earlier this summer & enjoyed it. LSU still considered the leader
NR Daquan Newkirk - Former AU signee who could land in this class if he gets work done. Probably a 2018 signee though but all Tiger right now
4* Ryan Johnson - Apparently we might lead for him but Bama is right there as well. Could play DE or DT. Might visit next weekend. Also watch out for Stanford
4* MJ Webb - AU/SCAR/TEN battle. Projects to move inside. Not making tripe for picnic next weekend, instead going to South Carolina
4* Aubrey Solomon - Michigan commit that might visit next weekend. Personally I doubt he stays a Wolverine. Watch out for UGA & Bama as well
3* Tyrone Truesdell - AU sitting well for him right now but spots limited. I think everyone listed above here is higher on board so AU being patient
3* Tyree Owens - Former WV signee now at JUCO, received offer this weekend. KN thinks we will be patient with him aka see what other guys do first
3* Guy Thomas - Recruited to play BUCK, had great visit yesterday & wants to come back. KN not sure where he is on our board
4* Drew Jordan - Duke commit that went beast mode at The Opening. Apparently we haven' t offered yet but could be someone we push for this fall
4* LaBryan Ray - Highly recruited DE that Bama currently leads for & AU got in late on the race but apparently has made up some ground
3* Alec Jackson - Instate kid that projects probably inside. Blew up in the spring after AU offered. Will probably visit again soon. I remember him recently listing AU 3rd behind UF & BAMA

LB
4* Jarez Parks - Visiting Monday, AU recruiting him as BUCK. He is listed as DE but sounds like he wants to play line backer. UF & FSU are current favorites
4* Nate McBride - Heavy UGA lean with Bama running 2nd. T-WILL worked hard to get him on campus earlier this year but not much since then. He is a longshot
4* Will Ignont - Who the frick knows
4* Tyler Taylor - His recruitment has blown up recently & AU seems to love him. KN thinks he is a take & as of now ends up in the class
4* Kenney Britt - AU/UGA battle. He visited Saturday, was at UGA Friday but will be back on campus next weekend for big event
4* Monty Rice - High on our board but trending UGA. Should visit again soon though
3* Kendric Haynes - Looks to be a backup target that AU is keeping an eye on

Side note how many LBs UGA taking this year? Seems like every LB has UGA either #1 or in top group

DB
4* Deangelo Gibbs - UGA trending with TEN running 2nd. Long way from making a decision though so AU will keep pushing
4* AJ Terrell - Beasted at The Opening and is a top target. Trending Clemson currently with UGA/UF also in top group. AU needs him back on campus soon
4* Brad Stewart - Miss St lean currently but AU made up some ground after June visit
4* Yusuf Corker - AU offered earlier this year but doesn't sound like have recruited him much. FYI he does have a CB for AU
3* Jordyn Peters - Offered this weekend & now are probably favorites. Grew up AU fan & if we want him probably land him this August
4* Devon Hunter - Had a great showing at The Opening. AU is in the picture but VT & CLE are major threats. Bama is a team that could get involved as well
5* JaCoby Stevens - AU/LSU/UGA/BAMA/CLE all in the hunt. AU has made a big push & is expected on campus next weekend
4* Christopher Henderson - Visited this past weekend. AU likes him a lot & McGriff friends with his HS coach

So after both big boards posted I feel best about our RB/OL/DL/LB recruiting & a bit nervous about QB/WR/DB. I think what we show on field in fall will have big impact in our finish

Give me Bishop, Barrett, Thomas and a DT from that group.

From there on out, I will trust the coaches.

Devan Barrett listed #2

Also KN says we sitting well for 4* OT Obinna Eza. Eza says not worried about competition so Ashley/Troxell don't scare him.

Also 4* WR Tariq Black says he has good relationship with Kodi Burns. Sounds like we are at least on his list but have work to do

3* S Jordyn Peters coming back this weekend. Probably on commit watch. KN seems to think he might be a take at this time

Dad said they were down there this weekend and the coaches love his tape, measurables, individual drills, but they want to see Elmore in a camp setting or get him down on a big recruiting weekend so they can see him in drills against some elite cornerbacks to see what he can do before they give an official offer.

KN put up a recruiting insider last night. Nothing too groundbreaking

- 4* ATH Tray Bishop loved his visit to UF & is now thinking of postponing his announcement on July 25th as he is not as sure about his decision anymore. KN still thinks AU team to beat here because of the QB angle but Gators sold hard the DB -> NFL route at Florida. UGA is still lurking as well & he is visiting Bama today. The big question is does he go to UF's Friday Night Lights which would make it hard for him to come to picnic Saturday morning

- AU has apparently put themselves in the top group for 4* OT Obinna Eza. He really likes Hand & also fact that AU already has two Nigerians on the team. He has delayed his commitment & plans to be on campus for the AU/Clemson game

- Calvin Ashley is transferring schools but not a concern for AU as his new football coach is buddies with Hand

- BUCK target 4* Jarez Parks arrived yesterday & will stay till lunchtime today

- The #2 RB in the 2018 class 5* Lorenzo Lingard visited yesterday & plans to stay till this afternoon

- Here is KN's guess at some of the visitor list Saturday for the picnic event & those he knows won't make it. Said this event will be much smaller than other events as they want to spend more 1 on 1 time with targets

Expected
4* ATH Malcolm Askew (AU Commit)
4* ATH Tray Bishop
4* OG Nick Brahms (AU Commit)
4* LB Kenney Britt
4* LB Tyler Taylor
4* SDE Ryan Johnson
4* WR Brandon Martin (5 Day AU Commit)
4* OT Kendall Randolph
5* ATH JaCoby Stevens
4* OT Austin Troxell (AU Commit)
3* S Jordyn Peters

Maybe
4* DE Markaviest Bryant - has told both AU & LSU coming to their event

Not Expected
3* OT D'Marcus Hayes - no reason given
4* LB Tadarian Moultry (AU Commit - taking family trip)
4* DE LaBryan Ray - Will be at UF's Friday Night Lights
4* CB AJ Terrell - no reason given
4* SDE MJ Webb - Will @ South Carolina
3* LB Chandler Wooten (AU Commit - has team camp)

I would say of that group Jordyn Peters is one I would put on commit watch. Also not getting Terrell back on campus stinks. Amazing at one point we were leading for Tre Shaw & AJ Terrell

Good news on Nick Coe. Coach says his ACT score went up which means he doesn't need as a high of a grade on his online class. Apparently he is doing real well right now & has a high A. Basically if he keeps doing what he's doing he's in
