@D_Mitch23: @A_kamara6 I see why u picked #bama lol junk nice
Mitchell's always seemed to be very high on us. Just judging from his twitter, I'd say he's a Bama lean.
Also, in an ESPN Article where the analysts list their most intriguing prospects, Mike LaPlante said Riley Norris was the player he was most interested in.

He also mentions that him, Norris, Lee, Houston and Sullivan are thinking of joining the same team. Clearly this is why Grant didn't fill out all of the roster spots and cut Gueye, Lacey, and Pollard. The man is a genius.

Not entirely sure what Auburn's scholarship situation is, but I don't see how either program will have room for 5 new players. I think they are full or close to full on scholarships right now. We lose Carl and Releford to graduation, but we are adding 2 transfers already, so that still keeps us at 9. Room for 4 but not 5 unless someone transfers, which is always a distinct possibility with this program.
If all those guys want to play together and we lose them to Auburn, Grant should be fired on the spot. I'd give us the inside track right now though just because I think we probably have more room.

A class with Coleman, Lee, Norris, and one other would be sick.

Grant will clear room for all 5 if it's necessary, I'd hope. Sullivan was just listed as "a part of the idea" in the article but the other 4 have been talking about it.

I agree. Even Grant would be hard pressed to sabotage an offense with a PG like Coleman running the show.

Dont really know about both Sullivan and Houston being part of that idea. Where the hell would all of them play lol. Im thinking Norris is a 3 and they are too. They better make room for D Mitch if he wants to come.

Sullivan is a 3, Houston is a 2. I'd prefer neither, but if they come with Norris, Coleman and Lee, I'd certainly take them.

It's just recruit speak. The will each do what is best for their own future.
Seriously, five players going to same school? The idiot that said this should not be recruited.

All 5 of them teaming up isn't likely, but I could certainly see 3 maybe even 4 teaming up.
Posted on 6/25/13 at 10:16 pm to BigBird09
Didnt know Houston was a 2.

Yeah, we should definitely just not even try to recruit the best pure PG the state has produced in years.

Bird,
Just so you know, we usually don't sticky threads for next year. We'll let them get bumped if need be, but to keep the clutter down on the front page, we only sticky current year recruiting threads. Once this year is officially over, this thread will get stickied. You'll understand during football season when we may get up to 4 or 5 stickied threads for whatever reason. It is sort of a pet peeve of mine. I can't stand a half page of sticky's.

The recruiting for 2013 is over Tuck. This 2014 thread pertains to who will be signed in November and then in April

Well then, I can correct that. I don't keep up with it, so you guys have to keep me on my toes.

Justin Coleman is visiting Indiana today.
Posted on 6/29/13 at 11:28 am to BigBird09
he is all of 5 feet 8 or five nine right? He may be good at HS but does anyone think this can translate to the college game. Maybe on the O side but in man to man D he would get owned?

Chris Paul is only 6 feet tall and he has been named to the 1st or 2nd NBA All Defensive Team 5 times.
