Looks like he played on the DL as well. Not a bad pickup considering we don't have to use a scholarship on him

The days of not recruiting OCs are over, too. Adding two walk-ons within a week shows Harsin wants experienced guys in the middle. That’s going to help our other OLinemen develop in practice.

Neither of these guys may ver start but they’ll help develop the unit as a whole. I really like seeing this

3* CB Brian Dilworth decommits

Not totally surprising with the coaching change. Guessing that Etheridge has bigger targets in mind

247 said he hasn’t been in communication with the new staff. I’m guessing they didn’t offer

Keith hinting a commit could be happening soon. Not sure how soon he's talking about though.

Thats where I lean too. I still think its too early for him and he has too many question marks though. I need him to go line on instagram and step on a scale or something

Justin Lee got in on it too lol. I'm surprised it took them this long to finally call him out. He's been stealing their recruiting info for a while now and passing it off as his own. He should just stick with the podcast/guest and leave the recruiting stuff alone imo.

Jboy does a good job with his show. He clearly comes across good recruiting info on his own but he exposes himself when he posts predictions on recruits right after the paysites give readers a heads up on an impending commitment.

A lot of these pay sites get scoops from these kids because they’ll film and edit a commitment video or graphic for them in exchange for a heads up on the commitment. So when KN and 247 do all that for Gordon, KN posts a heads up to the insider board, and Jboy immediately throws in a prediction it rubs the paysite the wrong way

All that said, it would have been nice if these guys could work it out in private because now it’s officially a thing and it’s going to get really fricking annoying for everyone that doesn’t give a shite

Harsin tweeted. Guessing we’ll hear an announcement soon

KN said they have 3 pieces of content ready to drop that they have had ready for a while now. All signs pointing to Gordon imo.. honestly thinking about it he's the only guy we've heard that is even close to committing anytime soon.

Edit.. Gordon just committed. I disagree with the take right now, but I'm going to hope they got it right.

This is about the time we get these kinds of guys unless we just totally strike out on all of the top targets. And all summer we make bold predictions about the offers and rankings boost they get.

Just feels right

True lol. I will say this.. He has me really interested to follow his development this year. I'm really hoping his HS coaches play him more at ILB so that there's more film to watch on him at that position. If he can turn and run and cover he's got tons of potential. He could also end up like Josh Marsh though.

Let them fight it out. If they post on their pay site then it's open source information in my opinion. Why I will never be on a pay site.

On the Kirkham kid never even heard of him but how the heck is he unranked. Got size and can move. He's not an OT but can play any interior position on OL. He's got some nasty to him as well. I'm not saying he's a mid 4 star or anything but just from the highlights you can tell he has talent. Even if he never plays a down for AU he's the type of OL guys you want as far as attitude.

So because they post it behind a paywall it should be considered public knowledge for people who don’t pay for the content? OK

Skinny Gordon squatting 500 lbs, fairly clean rep (maybe a little help).

Twitter Video

Pretty impressive for his height/frame.
