re: 2017 Football Recruiting Thread ["N$D Bryant" Edition]

KN posted slideshow on AU's offensive board right now

Summary below

QB
4* Tray Bishop - AU/UGA battle with AU leading but UGA not far off
4* Lowell Narcisse - Former AU commit now LSU commit that AU might possibly make a run at due to LSU having another QB committed currently who is pro style & probably better fit
4* Kellen Mond - The Aggie commit chose state of Texas over better fit at AU. If Sumlin's seat heats up AU could be back in play
4* N'Kosi Perry - Miami commit who had interest in AU earlier this year. The Cane have another QB commit that is pro style & better fit for Richt. Could be someone we push for later
3* Kadarius Toney - UF commit that doesn't have AU offer as of now but we could become players if we offer

RB
5* Cam Akers - Former Tide commit that says AU might get an official. Ole Miss, LSU, Georgia, Ohio State & Tennessee also in the hunt. Just FYI from reading UGA stuff they probably have their 2 in Toneil Carter & eventually D'Andres Swift so probably not a factor. My opinion is Ole Miss & Ohio State are the 2 to watch
4* Devan Barrett - AU/TEN/UNC battle with AU the favorite as of now. He is visiting this weekend came in yesterday. Personal opinion he could be on commit watch this weekend
4* Ty Chandler - He loved AU when visited in spring but nothing since then. Ole Miss legacy but no one really knows what he is thinking. Personally I think he ends up a Vol

TE
3* Tre McKitty - Chose Oregon over AU at The Opening. AU plans to keep recruiting him. Also watch out for FSU. Personally I don't think he ends up a Duck
4* Josh Falo - AU is very high on Oregon commit but not much has happen for AU. Apparently he is open to flip (side note what's with Oregon getting these TEs?)
3* Kemari Averett - Louisville commit visiting next weekend. Only recently been in talks with him

Just a note KN says we could take 0 TEs as well if we don't find a target we like. In other words don't expect any fillers at TE this season

WR
5* Tyjon Lindsey - Visited this weekend & supposedly loved it. Ohio State still team to beat but AU hopeful they will get official visit
4* Jeremiah Holloman - Was on campus yesterday & likes AU but UGA the clear team to beat & he on UGA campus right now. Could commit soon which would be bad for AU
4* Brandon Martin - Was committed to AU for 5 days then decommitted for really no obvious reason. Apparently many people close to him along with those at AU think he still ends up a Tiger. Apparently Bama, UK & LSU are recruiting him now too
3* Xavier Jenkins - Recently decommitted from UGA & KN expects AU to give him a look
4* Hezekiah Jones - Visited in June with Mond. AU hoping to get an official but A&M considered favorite due to his friendship with Mond
4* Henry Ruggs III - Ruggs visited AU on Thursday & AU seems like #2 team but Bama is far & away #1. If they have room he will go to the Tide
3* Justin Marshall - Recently camped with AU & apparently impressed. AU will follow him over the fall

OL
4* Tony Gray - AU wants him as a guard & he really likes Herb Hand. However hasn't visited in awhile & is considered UGA lean but KN says he still seems pretty open
4* Kendall Randolph - Could play either OG or OT has visited AU a bunch & KN thinks we are in this more than people realize. But he is a Bama legacy so I have low expectations
4* Badara Traore - #2 JUCO OT in the country that AU is tracking. Tigers want one more tackle & could grab someone from JUCO ranks
4* Netori Johnson - Former Bama commit turned UGA commit is someone AU still pursuing. Good relationship with former teammate Antwuan Jackson & likes Herb Hand but as of now seems solid to Dawgs
4* Cesar Ruiz - Ruiz is the #1 C prospect in nation & AU likes him a lot. He said over spring AU would get official but this right now is apparently a Bama/Mich battle
3* D'Marcus Hayes - Another JUCO guy we are looking at. High on AU board but AU being patient to fill that last OT spot
