Jhead posted this on DB recruiting on the bunker. He's a guy the reporters view as connected to the program FWIW...
quote:


Talked to @Jeffrey Lee about our final DB spot in the class last night, and it looks as though we will be pursuing a high school prospect to fill that void vice a Juco prospect. Four Star CB Eric Reed is a prospect we’ve recruited harder than others right now, and UGA may not have a spot for him with Omar Manning and Ringo appearing as though they are likely to land with the Mutts. We are also likely circling back on a few guys that are committed elsewhere, and should we come up empty on ESD I fully expect us to re-evaluate the field and look for a Roger McCreary late bloomer type to sign in the late period. Essentially someone that has all the measurables we’re looking for, he just hasn’t gotten a ton of exposure to this point. I’m tracking Reed heavily right now and will post more when I get something concrete.

KN cannot confirm Woody Womack’s report that Jay Hardy is waiting to sign, but he says it wouldn’t surprise him.

1. He originally said he’d wait to sign when he committed.
2. He cannot get in touch with him.

That would suck on hardy. I don’t want Pruitt and others going to their bag of cash once the first signing day is done

New DT name to watch.. 3* Jerzhan Newton. He's currently committed to Maryland. Not sure how to feel about this one.. Unless his 24/7 page is wrong he's VERY undersized at 6'3 255, but other the one hand I trust Garner and most likely this guy is a back up plan just in case.

Already out of date. Newton later tweeted he is signing this Wednesday. AU wanted him to wait & visit in January & sign in February. Staff wanted to look at him in case we miss on Walker.

Yeah I saw right after, but didn't have time to get back and edit.

I'm just ready for Wednesday so we can finally get some clarity.

Apparently Shaw was a stud on defense during the alabama-Mississippi all star game. Wish he’d give offense up.
Fong on Shaw’s Alabama-Mississippi All Star game performance:
quote:

South Carolina commit Eric Shaw could end up playing tight end in Columbia, but being recruiting as an athlete, I love the idea of him playing on the edge for Will Muschamp and company. He was explosive from his outside linebacker position, is smooth in space and showed good instincts and tackling ability. He also made plays between the tackles, and his most impressive stick of the game was an open field tackle on 3rd and short to stop the massive tight end JJ Pegues who was carrying the rock as a Wildcat quarterback for a loss. The 6-foot-4, 210-pound Shaw obviously has a lot of potential regarding his physical growth. He ranks as the No. 14 athlete in the country per the Top247.

isn't Height might flip, at this point if he doesn't I think the AU coaches would be shocked if he didn't.

I’m surprised you think that. What’s your thoughts on Hardy?

The Height info was new & interesting. It's interesting alone that Keith &JLee kept touching on him even though he tweeted he was locked in on Miami & recruitment shut down. The interesting part on him from Keith's insider was a source at a competing school believed Height will pick AU. More valuable to us is Keith agreed based on the intel he's getting. That's a surprise to me as is AU feeling descent.

I expect KN may learn something later this afternoon as some of these kids will tell staffs what they’re doing

Looks like Buskey will not sign tomorrow. Auburn wants to hold off until Feb.

Jeff Lee has a war room article up.


He says Bama is now the front runner for Pegues.

First downvote

He's got a pretty poorly produced commitment video up on twitter

furthers my beliefs that he's been TAMU for a while and he told coaches yesterday of his decision.
