KN put up update on Barrett. Looking good for AU. Here's summary
- AU staff feels real good about their chances. Apparently Barrett fits in well with the team (thanks NCM) & really likes Horton
- He grew up a UF fan but they want him to play CB. Recently they started saying he could have a shot at RB since they want to recruit him as an athlete. His family are Gator fans as well so we might have to fight off UF later in year if they decide to pick up heat. They recently though flipped Adarius Lemons from UNC
- UNC pushing hard for Barrett after losing Lemons. Their RB coach was first to offer him so they have great relationship & apparently are selling him on ACC being less physical so his body won't take as much punishment before the NFL. Interesting strategy....
- Sounds like Tennessee would be a bigger player if they didn't have him lower on their board. Family really liked them but they are pushing hard for Cam Akers & Ty Chandler right now
Overall AU looks to be the expected landing spot for Barrett Thursday. Recruitment won't be over with UNC/UF & possibly Tennessee but at end of day he is comfortable with AU & likes his chances of getting on field early

I would be interested to hear DB's thoughts on that angle. Makes sense logically, but seems like you are also conceding you are an inferior program/league

Interesting rb class for us.
All three guys Barrett, Aleric, and Octavius are all considered athletes and wanted at different positions by other schools cb, wr, and safety.
