FWIW MSST homer reporter believes 4* Buck Derick Hall won't have a decision this month & will wait to take OVs. Admits that's probably good news for MSST

Less homerish MSST reporter spoke with Hall & a decision could still come this month but he hasn't thought a ton about recruiting recently. AU/MSST are top 2 with FSU/OM in next group
Has OVs set for FSU/VT & AU/LSU. Plans to take OVs to MSST & LOU as well

KN also confirmed what Wolk reported Sunday in that Lewis did eventually speak with Gus & that coaching staff is pumped to have him on board. He's apparently REALLY high on Garner's wishlist

Rivals is apparently releasing a new Top 100 today. Sounds like George Pickens could be getting a 5th star

Rivals Rankings Week: Who could land in updated 2019 top 10? (Rivals)
quote:
Today kicks off the latest update to the Rivals rankings, with the debut of the new Top 10 of the Rivals100 at noon ET. The Rivals.com analyst team spent the summer attending various events and evaluating the nation’s top prospects and the group of experts met last week to hash out which prospects belong where in the rankings. The analyst team had plenty of debates about who should go where and today we have three of them present their case for individual prospects to land inside the new top-10.

5* Nolan Smith
I’ve always been a big fan of Smith because when I see him on the field - whether during the season or in the offseason - the five-star defensive end is relentless and he dominates all the time.
When I saw him play last season, Smith was dominant off the edge and harassed the quarterback all game. He made tackles in the backfield, tracked players down to the sideline and he hits like an 18-wheeler. I love how he plays with toughness and relentlessness.
At The Opening this summer, Smith again had a dominant performance at defensive end with great speed to the edge, nice inside moves and he uses his hands really well. Plus, Smith can stand up and play in space - the perfect defensive end/linebacker hybrid that is so popular in the game these days.
The Georgia commit is going to learn even more and perfect his craft under coach Kirby Smart, defensive coordinator Mel Tucker, defensive line coach Tray Scott and others in Athens. He’s already a five-star prospect, so we think really highly of Smith, but he’s definitely a top-10 prospect in this class because of his versatility, production, upside and just how special he is as a player right now. - Rivals.com national recruiting analyst Adam Gorney

5* OG Kardell Thomas
Thomas was at the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge presented by adidas last summer as a rising junior. He impressed there against some of the top defensive linemen in the 2018 class. He’s been high on my list since I saw him early in his sophomore year. He plays with a chip on his shoulder and he looks to dominate whoever is in front of him regardless of where he is or who the defensive lineman is.
He earned his fifth star this spring and he has been nothing short of dominant over the summer. At the Rivals100 Five-Star Challenge last month in Atlanta, Thomas was named Offensive Line MVP. He had success at tackle and guard against some of the top defensive linemen in the country. He moves his feet well for an interior offensive lineman and the LSU commit has made his case to be one of the best in the country. He is a powerful young man who plays with an edge and he looks like one who will open big holes in the SEC down the road.
Thomas has made a strong case to be one of the top-10 prospects in the country. His position may not be a sexy one, but he is dominant there on a consistent basis. He is only going to get better on the next level, too. - Rivals.com southeast recruiting analyst Chad Simmons

4* WR George Pickens
Pickens has seen his stock rise over the past year, both among college coaches and on the rankings front. During the last update in June, he made a huge leap, jumping from outside the top-100 into the top-50. After he dominated elite competition during the summer, I feel like he belongs in the discussion for the overall top-10 and is in line for another big move up the charts.
Pickens has a rare combination of size and speed in addition to elite playmaking ability and a killer instinct. During the IMG 7-on-7 National Championships, Pickens paired with fellow Auburn commit, quarterback Bo Nix, to make a run all the way to the championship game. Despite seeing double teams on most plays and being the focal point of almost every defense he faced, Pickens found a way to make play after play. Despite his impressive ability, Pickens never lets up or coasts and his non-stop effort and competitive spirit is what separates him from some of the other top players in this class at other positions.
The one thing working against him for the top-10 is the fact that the entire analyst team hasn’t had a chance to see him, but as an All-American, that will change and it will be hard for anyone who sees Pickens in action not to become a fan. - Rivals.com southeast recruiting analyst Woody Wommack

Also think 2020 4* DB Malachi Moore might commit this morning. Probably too Bama tho....
Yup just committed to Bama

Boy if Hall goes to state and they get Moore to go with Pickering thats gonna be a bitch of a line to go against in the future.
Me hopes Hall goes with the good guys and we can somehow convince Moore to come over.
Next year on the interior DL we are going to miss Cowart (if he had played to his billing) and Antwuan Jackson. Shame neither worked out for us, they certainly had a shot.

FWIW KN had quick note this morning saying AU still feels good about Hall. No decision date yet but could still come this month

Agreed, especially Jackson. Probably would have been the guy in 2019 up front. Need to hang on to Handy for sure. Been some good buzz about Truesdell's development. Also if Coe ends up starting at Buck could end up leaving early too. At worst could see starting DL of Moultry/Truesdell/Miller/Newkirk which isn't too bad. Could also start Big Kat at DE if needed if Coe's gone
But ya, DL will have a lot of ?s heading into 2019

FFS, do we not have enough DBs right now?

I'm thinking that might be why Pritchett hasn't gotten green light yet. Logan either

Yeah he was always going there. I'm friends with his mom, we went to UAB together but they're big Bama fans.
