In all seriousness we will be fine, despite a few misses this year. We have the talent needed next year imo.. Troxell is another of our OT's that gets forgotten about.
This isn't basketball recruiting, this years class means very little for next year. Two to four years in the future on the other hand...
Like George Ol'eary once said, "recruiting is a lot like shaving, miss one day and you look like hell"

KN says confidence level for Walker is very low right now for AU. There was a time he was telling AU he was coming but then started talking visits and things just seem to have gone a different direction. Says that difference between Quay & Big Kat is with Kat AU always felt they were major player up to NSD. Not case for Walker. KN best guess is he lands with Tennessee

KN says you can take Caleb Tannor off the board. AU no longer recruiting him & won't send him LOI. Says staff feels like time better used elsewhere

Setting expectations super low for Wednesday so if anything even ok happens we are all excited

FWIW UF247 had a more in depth update on Tannor. He apparently told all 3 schools he visited that he's coming there. AU found out over weekend & KN says have decided to stop recruiting him and push elsewhere. My guess is they have Tannor & Johnson closely rated so instead of worrying about playing games with Tannor they are just gonna try & go get Johnson. UF 247 sees AU as a major threat of Johnson
Edit: KN just CB'd Johnson to AU & UF guys just turned theirs to foggy. Hey we might get somebody

He never took an OV so unlikely. Cam Taylor or Nathaniel Watson are the 2nd backup options behind Caleb Johnson I believe

Don't think Wolks inclusion is wild. He's taken an OV so AU could always circle around to him. I don't expect them too but he's a more likely option than Foucha at this point which was what I was responding too
Looking like Johnson/Taylor with spot open for Anderson so it doesn't matter anyway

I agree with all of that, all I'm saying is if a guy takes an OV he could always be a fall back option down the road. I don't expect him to be in AUs class for all reasons listed but I do think he's a name to watch if things go really sideways Wednesday

I remember but I have a hard time seeing who would be a 4th person that's gonna sign with us that it's worth grayshirting Fuqua. My guess is Fuqua signs Wednesday

So Fuqua and a secret leaves 2 of 4 ?
