KN had recruiting insider up this morning

- AU was scheduled to visit 2 recruits in Florida today: 4* RB Devan Barrett & 4* OT Kai-Leon Herbert. Barrett is getting pressure from Tennessee & Clemson but remains solid. Finding OC would help lock him up. AU feels like they are in the race for Herbert but UF probably team to beat. Miami is surging as well and he visits there this weekend

- Still a fight for 4* DE Ryan Johnson but AU feels good about where they are at. KN says one source says Bama the top threat while another says Stanford. Source from another program thinks Johnson ends up at AU. He officially visits AU this weekend then has trips to Bama & Texas after that. Still no word on if he has gotten into Stanford yet

- LSU pushing hard to 4* LB Tyler Taylor. Their selling pitch is LB need considering the lack of ILBs they have on roster and in this class. AU & Oklahoma both have decent LB classes already so it's a solid play. Still he officially visits AU this weekend so we get the last visit. Plans to announce sometime next week between Monday & Wednesday probably over Twitter

- Staff felt visit went real well with 4* S Devon Hunter but the feeling is might be hard to rundown VT. Considering news later in the day with Hunter not going to officially visit I think this one is over. Damn you Ole Miss

- AU visited now composite 4* WR Noah Igbinoghene today. He recently got an Oregon offer but as of now doesn't plan to visit and is solid to AU

- Despite disappointing 2017 WR receiver class AU is feeling pretty good about 2018. They think they are in a good spot with 4* Justyn Ross and are a darkhorse for 4* Jacob Copeland. Copeland is expected to visit in two weekends for what should be a big junior day
