re: 2018 Football Recruiting Thread -- Final OP Update Edition

I read that on another board... it sums up recruiting pretty well.

We can all point to individual recruits who were either overrated or underrated.... but there’s no denying teams that rank consistently high in recruiting have the most success.

If only we could talk like the on AUFAM

Why the down vote...?¿

Wasn't from me FWIW.

AU has offered 3* DL Malik Langham.

---

Check him out. He is 6-5-1/2 and 270 something. Athletic, and he can bend. Doesn’t have cankles. Could be an OL in the making. It is mentioned in his 247 bio. Chases down some backs as well.

He is almost a 4* now, maybe he hits a growth spurt (aka: gets some “gear), and gets to 6’-07” and 315

Not according to UCF.

So apparently AU has offered 3* DL Malik Langham. He just got the mother of all Bama bumps in most recent ranking updates. Interesting we are sending out a DL offer this late. Right now he's considered a major Bama lean but KN says he grew up an AU fan

---

Got some scoop on him from over the weekend involving his HC.

His HC felt that if he didn't commit to Bama during his visit that he was going to Auburn. He said that Langham was legitimately a lifelong AU fan and loved it. Didn't have hard feelings on the late offer, but he made promises to other coaches that he'd take OVs there so he feels inclined to keep his promises. Good kid, it sounds like. HC also felt that he might be best suited at RT if it doesn't work out on the DL.

Rashad Cheney & Jadon Haselwood


Both seem like UGA locks but they keep visiting. Supposedly Haselwood is close with Kodi Burns. Probably a longshot but definitely doesn't hurt to get visits

Also sounds like we gonna have a junior day February 3rd. Pretty sure we had a big one on the final weekend before NSD as well last year. Need to dig up who all ended up committing/signing from that group

#3 LB in 2019 class 4* Donte Starks gonna be at AU junior day

Big offers starting to roll in for Newsome (Rivals)

THE LATEST: Last week was a big week for 2019 defensive back Quinton Newsome. The 6-foot-2, 180 pound junior out of Suwanee (Ga.) North Gwinnett picked up offers from Auburn, Ole Miss, Vanderbilt, Wake Forest and West Virginia in a four day span and his recruitment has taken offer.

IN HIS OWN WORDS: "It feels good to see all of these offers starting to come in," said Newsome. "Most of them really came out of nowhere. West Virginia was the one that had shown some attention, but most of the offers were a big surprise. Each of them had a coach come through the school to tell my coach about the offer."

STILL LEARNING: "I do not really know much about the schools that offered me last week yet. I have been to camp and a game at Vanderbilt, so I know I like their set up of things and how they take care of the players. I have camped at Auburn, so that was nice and I like the environment there. Other than that, I do not really know much yet. Coach McGriff at Ole Miss is a coach I have had a good conversation with, so I am just learning about the schools right now."

ONE DOES STAND OUT: "Auburn would be my top school right now. When I was over there for camp in the summer, I really liked it. It was just a good feeling there around the coaches and I just felt I fit in well there."

OFFERS ARE MOTIVATION: "I just want to keep working and keep better. These offers are great and I am glad to have them, but I know I have to keep working to earn more. These will just keep me training harder, working harder and doing all I can to get better."

RIVALS REACTION: It was only a matter of time for Newsome. He started off the season at free safety, then moved to cornerback and he never looked back. He was a big part of a stingy defense that helped North Gwinnett win a state title. He is a versatile defensive back with great length that will continue to add offers. Auburn is the school that stands out to him early on out of the schools that have offered, but he is still considering each school. Florida is the school he grew up a fan of as a kid. He has yet to hear from the Gators, but if they offer, they will quickly move up his list. He plans to visit Wake Forest February 3.

That North Gwinnett secondary is insane. AU has offered 3 guys back there in Newsome, DJ Turner & Warren Burrell. I also love their RB Tyler Goodson who is starting to get some attention as well. Would take any of those 3 DBs if possible. I think Turner is a Clemson lean early
