Don't worry about Nix. Even if Gus TRIES to ruin him, Bo has his dad to fall back on, and Patrick, being a QB himself, won't let his son deteriorate, but elevate him to one of AU's best complete QBs in the current era.
Ohh boy

Nix will start and his dad will be on the staff in some capacity. There will be packages for Gatewood to satisfy he and the fans and WIllis will move to WR.
Orrrrrrrrr
We play 4 qbs the first game Clempson 2.0

Not really. I’m a big fan of Gatewood and wouldn’t be upset at all if he’s the starter. But if I’m betting then my money is on Nix.
Ya I actually would love for that to happen because there just aren't many human beings in the world that are as big and athletic as Gatewood
I think Nix will win because I think he's the best right now but would have 0 issue if Gatewood steps up and wins the job

Wolk has article up matching realistic targets to descriptions Gus gave of what is needed still in class. Here's summary
Big Time Receiver
This is clearly 4* George Pickens & AU feels really good about keeping him. Wolk did say AU might pursue another WR with Slayton departure but the focus is clearly on Pickens
More Offensive Lineman
Wolk says that AU's support staff has spent all of the last 2 weeks reviewing film on more OL than many even know are out there. Expect new offers to go out in coming weeks. AU wants 3 more in the class. Wolk says AU is in good spot with Kamaar Bell & actually thinks they will lock him up on OV next weekend. JUCO Bamidele is a front runner at OT but far from certain. Says that 3* Dawand Jones is AU's top underclass OT target but expect more to emerge soon
More Linebackers
Believes Octavius Brothers to be the most likely though mentions Tye Edwards, Christopher Russell & Lakia Henry as names to watch. Thinks there's a name that hasn't leaked that T-WILL is also after
Elite Running Back
This is pretty clearly Mark-Antony Richards. Says UF is a darkhorse to watch in that race but AU definitely team to beat right now. Mentions Jerrion Ealy, Deondrick Glass and Jamious Griffin as other names to watch
Best of the Rest
If AU were to have a perfect close & land the following as Malzahn wants:
Pickens
Bell
Olaseni
Jones
Richards
Brothers
Mystery LB #2
then that's 2 spots left in the class. The names to watch then as best available would be:
4* CB Maurice Hampton (LSU commit) --> took OV in DEC
4* WR Devonta Lee (LSU lean)
4* S Nick Cross (FSU commit) --> took OV in summer
5* CB Akeem Dent (FSU commit)
5* DL Ishmael Sopsher (LSU lean) --> visited for LSU game
4* CB Kaiir Elam (UGA/UF battle)
4* DL Charles Moore (MSST commit) --> took OV in DEC
4* DL Quashon Fuller (FSU commit) --> took OV in DEC

Under Armour All-America Game: The Farrell Awards (Rivals)
quote:
ORLANDO, Fla. - The Under Armour All-America Game is in the books with Team Ballaholics defeating Team Flash 28-27. After following practices all week leading up to the game in Orlando, here are the Farrell Awards from the week.

LIGHTNING IN A BOTTLE
This award goes to the most dynamic and exciting player during the week, the guy who gets everyone's attention when he has the ball. Ole Miss running back commitment Jerrion Ealy showed flashes of his ability in practice and in the game itself he was hard to stop. Ealy had 119 yards and two touchdowns on 16 carries and was the named his team's MVP. He runs low to the ground and has great balance and he showed off his speed all week.
Honorable mention: Oregon running back signee Sean Dollars showed off some speed as did Oklahoma wide receiver signee Theo Wease. Auburn commitment George Pickens isn’t a burner but he brought excitement with every rep he took. Ohio State signee Jameson Williams had a great week of practice and was dynamic despite being quiet in the game.

BULL MARKET
This goes to the player who raised his stock the most during the week and to me it was offensive tackle Trente Jones, who is a Michigan signee. I liked him a lot and think in a couple of years he can be a very good tackle in the Big Ten. He showed how raw he was in the game at times, but his upside is unquestioned.
Honorable mention: Michigan defensive tackle signee Mazi Smith also raised his stock as did Georgia signee Lewis Cine, the aforementioned Jameson Williams and Texas A&M signee Dylan Wright. I was also impressed with two Mississippi players, both committed to Mississippi State, in Nathan Pickering and Charles Moore. Alabama safety signee Jordan Battle also impressed me and Ealy also raised his stock. Texas wide receiver signee Marcus Washington was also impressive in the game itself, scoring two TDs and earning MVP honors for his team.

He earned the name. DWI, and I doubt you'd have the balls to slap anyone

PHYSICAL PROWESS
This award is given to the best-looking prospect on the hoof, the guy who looks like he could play in college or even the NFL right now. While he needs to drop a little bit bad weight, offensive tackle Evan Neal looks like he could start for an NFL team right now. He’s that big.
Honorable mention: Auburn signee Derrick Hall looks great on the hoof as does Auburn commitment George Pickens. South Carolina signee Zacch Pickens also looks impressive as does Stanford wide receiver signee Elijah Higgins. I also liked the way Virginia signee Jowon Briggs looked.

STICK 'EM
This award sounds like it's for a defender who hits, but it's really for a receiver with the best hands during the week. Miami signee Jeremiah Payton made some big catches during the week and flashed excellent ball skills.
Honorable mention: Texas signee Marcus Washington was consistent all week catching the ball as was Jameson Williams. George Pickens also pulls down everything thrown his way and Theo Wease made some nice catches as well. Auburn signee Jashawn Sheffield also made some very nice catches during the week of practice.

ROCKET ARM
This award goes to the quarterback with the best arm who showed the ability to make all the passes with zip on the football. Bo Nix, an Auburn signee, clearly had the best arm of any of the quarterbacks all week.
Honorable mention: Jayden Daniels has some zip on the ball and Texas A&M signee Zach Calzada can also rip it when he wants.

ACCURATE ARM
This award goes to the quarterback who showed the best accuracy all week long. During practice it was Bo Nix but I’m giving this award to Jayden Daniels, who was solid all week and had a very good game.
Honorable mention: Nix gets honorable mention as does Roschon Johnson who was more accurate in the game than he was in practice.
LOL @ Nix actually having the most accurate arm but just deciding to give award to someone else
Posted on 1/4/19 at 12:34 pm to TigerPaw1

MR. CONSISTENCY
This award goes to the player who was simply good all week long and could be relied upon to bring it each and every day. Oregon signee Kayvon Thibodeux showed a great motor and brought the pain each and every day and in the game. He has a chance to be very special.
Honorable mention: Virginia signee Jowon Briggs was good all week, Evan Neal was strong during practice and during the game and George Pickens didn’t have a bad day at all.

STAR GAZER
This award goes to the player entering the game that was in prime position to earn that extra star, whether it was a fifth or fourth star, but didn't meet those expectations. Tennessee signee Wanya Morris was hoping to earn his fifth star back and had a solid week but played better as a guard than as a tackle, where he struggled a bit.
Honorable mention:Owen Pappoe, an Auburn signee, was also hoping to earn back that fifth star but didn’t have an exceptional week and FSU verbal Brendan Gant was very good but I feel he fell short of that coveted fifth star.
Well expect another drop for Pappoe in the final rankings on Rivals...
Posted on 1/4/19 at 12:39 pm to TigerPaw1
Hilariously 247 ranked Nix #2 in final rankings despite him being the best all week just because they thought Daniels had a better game
Posted on 1/4/19 at 12:49 pm to TigerPaw1
When final rankings come out don't be surprised if Pappoe falls from a composite 5* & 247 continues to leave Nix outside the top 100 in their rankings
Only guy that will 100% move up is Pickens. Will be stunned if he's not a Composite 5* when it's done. I do think ESPN might bump Nix to 5* status
