Daniel was also #49 overall and 4* on the 247 composite so I guess the other sites didn't think too high of him.

Went back and looked and Frazier is #51 overall 4* on the composite but Westerman was a 5*

Really? Derrick Brown? Had Monty, Russell and Dev. Still got tons of PT. He will be what we hoped Monty would become.

What do you not understand? I said he's still a "wait and see." It's retarded to label him as anything else. He's unproven and was a rotational player in year one.

He would have played much more if we were not stacked. As long as he stays healthy, he will be a beast.

Yes, Monty finally showed out last year. He was one of my faves, but if he had played every down like it was his last each year, he would have gone higher in the draft. I am proud of him. He is taking care of his boy, GF, and his mama.

Yeah Brown didn't play as much ad Monty did as a freshmen because of depth, but Brown looked noticeably better. More athletic, better motor, better angles. Look at the stats and he also made impact players at a much higher rate than Monty ad a freshmen.

I agree 100% with this. His final year other teams tried to avoid him like the plague

It took until his final year though. He was a bit lazy until then.

Effort and drive doesn't appear to be an issue with Brown.

So this recruiting thing is pretty important. I hope we get Fields and Ross.

Would fap to that, as previously stated.

Speaking of Ross, I'm officially worried about Clemson. He's on the same team at the Opening as Trevor Lawrence, Clemson QB commit and #1 overall recruit in the country. Well, Lawrence wants Ross with him at Clemson and has begun to recruit him hard.

It's imperative that we stomp Clemson's dick into the dirt in Death Valley. We also need a big year by Stidham.

No but I don't like texting. I know a number of people who virtually only communicate by text and carry 5 or 6 conversations at the same time.



When I check my mobile bill every month it shows the number of text messages per number.

Usually, my number is somewhere around 50-100.

My son's? 2800-3000.

Young people I would say actually communicate MORE with each other these days than "back in the day", just differently (obviously).

by lazy you mean he had zero help on the DL? Lawson was injured during Monty's junior year.

Once defenses had someone else to worry about on our DL, Monty stood out as the 1st rounder he should have been.

No I mean he took plays off. In 2015 especially he rarely gave 100%, and just generally played lazily.

Every NFL team noted it in their scouting reports on him. Every time his name came up before the draft that was talked about as his big red flag. He had 1st round talent, so why do you think he dropped to the end of the 3rd round?

Yep. I think everyone wanted Monty to be Nick Farley. Those do not come along very often

So apparently we are now recruiting Joiner only as a RB according to KN. Joiner also said he likes our depth chart. Will be interesting to see if he sticks to committing in August because if so I wouldn't be shocked if he picked AU

Will post updates tomorrow as KN put out a lot of stuff. One thing did want to mention be is KN spoke with another well connected ATL parent who thinks Fields is focusing on AU and FSU. That apparently lines up with what AU ppl think. Although we aren't getting a ton of attention nationally does sound like those close real think AU is a and possibly the top contender which is encouraging. Fields whooped Trevor Lawrence 7v7 team and a few ppl have said he's been best player at The Opening

Here's hoping Pierce commits 1st & takes the spot.
