I could add a lot of info here but I'm just going to bullet point it. Look for Derek Miller to leave LSU and follow AT to Tennessee. He's assistant directer of player personnel at LSU. Prob won't happen til 1st week of Jan. LSU is going to visit 4* committ Traore Friday to convince him not to make the trip to Knoxville. If he does in fact make the trip look for a commitment to the Vols. Pruitt and Sherrer are both in a hard spot. Both believe they can flip multiple commits on their current playoff teams. However, more so with Pruitt it would cause a rift between some at Alabama and Pruitt and Pruitt is not going to risk that. However, it should be noted that Pruitt is going to take a few heavy hitters from Alabama this class after the playoffs. So basically, you have Georgia and Alabama that Pruitt and Sherrer know best and their hands are tied. Also on the Tight End/ Special teams coach look for Joe Pannunzio to get a serious look from Pruitt at Alabama and also Shane Beamer at Georgia who also coaches Tight Ends/ Special teams. On McClendon... confidence fading here. No idea what direction they go. Look for Vic Viloria at FSU to be one of the top candidates for strength and conditioning coach. Also their is a lot of confidence they will close strong. Definitely taking at least 4 juco guys and will finish with 1-2 5* guys. I asked if they think they can crack the top 10 in recruiting and was told they could care less about where they finish. The focus is filling the holes and adding high upside guys. They're not gambling on any kid. They are just trying to survive this early signing period. Look for 3 more decommitments.
