Sup fellas? 
Finally at a relative that has solid WiFi so here's some nuggets KN dropped over the week and today
- First on Fields, he showed up Thursday evening, went to Jordan-Hare Stadium with Malzahn, Lindsey and several AU players. They weren't in stadium long because of lightning so they have to return to the complex and throw in the indoor facility. Kyle Davis was one of the current players who helped out along with 4* WR Matthew Hill. Apparently he impressed everyone there with his accuracy & arm strength. Fields's father accompanied him on the visit and apparently the staff reallly likes him. Fields spent a ton of time with current player most notably Jarrett Stidham. Apparently he and Fields really click and Stidham is working hard helping AU recruit guys including Fields. Overall AU was very happy with how Field's visit went and the Tigers are "cautiously optimistic". In the past FSU was who they thought was biggest threat but now sounds like they believe UGA is the real threat. Still sounds like Fields will commit in August
- There were rumors 4* OG Tank Jenkins was going to commit this past weekend but held off. Apparently he has told the staff he wants to pick AU but needs to talk things over with his parent before committing. KN says he is absolutely a take
- Clear two team race for 4* LB Michael Harris between AU & OHST. He didn't commit on visit and didn't hear from them for a week after. The whole time AU was in touch. He's close with Larry Porter (area recruiter) & Travis Williams as his mom. The main concern Ohio State has is ACT score but Harris thinks he can get it done. KN says tho if OHST wants him at any time it could still change things. He's visiting this weekend and could be here a 2nd time as well.
- AU continues to recruit Bama commit 4* LB Quay Walker really hard. There's a chance he could visit for the picnic this weekend. AU is no longer just recruiting him at Buck but more as an OLB. AU isn't only team apparently trying to flip em and KN says will be interesting recruitment to follow
- KN had more on Stidham. Fields is good friends with Chandler Wooten but now it sounds like he's really clicked with Stidham. Apparently they hung out a ton and what Fields is looking for in a program matches what Stidham wanted when he signed with AU. KN says some sources believe Fields wants to be a Tiger but it's far from certain
- Bo Nix is expected to cut his list down soon and KN says AU/FSU will no doubt make the cut. Still projecting Nix to AU
- Sounds like we might be backing off 3* Juanyeh Thomas. KN thought he was a CB target but sounds like he is a safety guy and with us landing Monday and pushing for Sherwood along with Fuqua moving to safety, might not be room for Thomas. Thomas announced today he's no longer committing August 5th
- As for 3* S Jamien Sherwood, he's expected to visit this weekend and has become a clear top target
- Clemson just offered 4* RB Asa Martin
If Thomas isn't a CB target, I have no idea who we are recruiting at CB. Maybe staff thinks they can flip Armour-Davis or McMichael? Maybe Foucha is a CB target? There's Charles McClelland too. Honestly confused what's going on at that spot
