I mean, I am glad we are. Gatewood can't even win the starting job at his high school.

Obviously, you know nothing about Bartram. Their HC has played multiple QBs every year, regardless of how good any of them are. Idk why, but he does.

Checked out Jarren Williams highlights tonight. He's another option at QB that we might pursue. Really impressed with his accuracy and can throw the deep ball. Not as fast as I though but still can run it if needed. Looks like a solid overall player. Obviously I want to flip Fields if possible but if we can't I think I would take this kid over Bohanon. Bohanon could end up a beast but he plays 2A football in Arkansas. That scares me some...

May Recruiting Snapshot
It's a new months so going to post a snapshot of where recruiting stands. Idea is for those that don't like reading all these updates can easily see month to month where we stand. All of this is subjective opinion based off what I have read on 247, SECCountry, AL.com & Rivals. Here's last month's snapshot.. I have links to both in the OP
Commits
4* QB Joey Gatewood
4* DE Daquan Newkirk
3* OG Jalil Irvin --> dropped to 3* in composite after ESPN's update rankings
3* RB Shaun Shivers
3* OG Kameron Stutts
3* ATH Kolbi Fuqua --> recruited as a WR but could play S
Everyone seems solid though with AU going after a 2nd QB will be interesting to see if that has impact on Gatewood. Seems like he just loves AU though
Leaders
4* LB Zakoby McClain
4* S Quindarious Monday --> on commit watch
4* DE Andres Fox --> kid clearly wants to come to AU problem is family wants em at Bama, we will see if he gets to make the decision
4* WR Matthew Hill --> another guy to put on commit watch
3* Buck/LB Richard Jibunor --> still a AU/BAMA/TEN but I think we might have slight edge
3* Buck Caleb Tannor --> same here a battle with UGA/BAMA but right now we recruiting the hardest
3* S Derek Turner --> not sure about this one anymore. have not heard his name in awhile but we were his first legit offer
I wouldn't be shocked if Jibunor, Fox, Hill or Monday committed this month. Monday probably won't pull trigger until BCW in June, not sure on the others.
Top Group
4* WR Justyn Ross --> Clemson is a real threat, Bama seems to be trending, dropped to a 4* composite after ESPN new rankings
4* DT Coynis Miller --> might be more than AU/BAMA battle, watch out for LSU/UF/CLEM
4* CB Jalyn Armour-Davis --> still AU/FSU battle with BAMA possibly lurking
4* WR Jacob Copeland --> eliminated Clemson this month released top 5 of AU/UF/BAMA/OM/TEN, Tide are trending
4* RB Harold Joiner --> LSU lean but might outgrow RB spot, if he does AU would be favorite
4* RB Asa Martin --> Gators still lead but AU closed gap, Bama just recently offered and could change the game
4* LB Quay Walker --> named Bama leader, sounds like we might not be recruiting as hard as we used to
4* ATH Nathaniel Watson --> AU no longer in first, tied with MSST who want him on offense & recruiting him harder
4* WR Kearis Jackson --> UGA probably the leader but AU a close 2nd
4* WR Seth Williams --> AU recruiting the hardest but Bama has started to pick it up
4* TE Tyneil Hopper --> still AU/UNC battle unsure how hard we are recruiting
4* OT Richard Gouraige --> CLEM might not have room so probably AU/UF battle with Gators having early edge
4* S Brendon Harris --> Vols lead the way but AU after him hard
4* OT Dylan Wonnum --> good friends with Jalil Irvin, AU has started pushing harder
4* CB Jordan Miner --> still Tiger/Gator battle
4* OG Tank Jenkins --> might not be a take anymore with 2 OG committed
4* S Myles Mason --> AU a clear contender now with Bama slow playing, also watch FSU
4* LB Channing Tindall --> AU has picked up their recruitment though they are chasing SCAR/UGA right now
3* QB Gerry Bohanon --> AU wants a 2nd QB and he could become a top target
3* RB Master Teague --> sounds like SCAR/UGA/AU battle with Gamecocks possible leaders, AU definitely a threat tho
3* CB/S Juanyeh Thomas --> still has top 3 of AU/UF/GT, I like AU's chances
3* WR Marquez Ezzard --> released a recent top 8 that included AU, OHST now team to watch with his buddy 4* DE Brenton Cox committing there
3* WR Shedrick Jackson --> AU offered this past month, Tigers are probably the favorite but GT contending
3* OT Cameron Wire --> wants to go to LSU but no offer, longer they wait AU might become a bigger factor
3* DT Allen Love --> AU has not offered but might soon and would be in his top group
3* S Jamien Sherwood --> AU/FSU/UF/MIA battle with more teams jumping in
3* CB Kendric Torain --> offered this month, Greg Brown recruitied him when at Mizzou
Lots of battles right now that I not sure on. Not as confident on Copeland, Ross, Miller, Martin and Joiner as I was last month but feel better about Tindall, Mason & Wonnum. Seth Williams is a big wildcard imo. Likes love we showing right now but I think minute Bama makes him a priority he lands there
Trailing
5* QB Justin Fields --> AU recently offered, his commitment to PSU is shaky, Gators early favorites to flip but AU/UGA coming strong
4* OG Trey Hill --> AU probably running #3 behind CLEM & UGA
4* LB JJ Peterson --> clicked with Travis Williams but Bama the team to beat
4* OT William Barnes --> Gators are team to beat, AU/UNC chasing
4* CB Christian Tutt --> not sure AU really in this race
4* WR Anthony Schwartz --> bumped to 4* after ESPN updates, UF/MIA might be top 2 with AU running 3rd
4* DT Alfred Thomas --> AU still hasn't offered so UGA is team to beat
4* RB Damien Pierce --> Commitment might not be solid to Bama, UGA probalby #2 but AU in that next group
3* LB Michael Harris --> Heavy OHST lean, loves T-WILL though
3* OT John Campbell --> MIA/UF battle, haven't heard AU with him in awhile
3* CB Jaycee Horn --> seems to be trending to Bama
3* DT Jalen Cunningham --> recently landed AU offer but Tide will be hard to beat
3* QB Jarren Williams --> AU evaluating this week could become a target soon
The Fields angle is really interesting. Sounds like with offer we immediately tied UGA for 3rd. Gators pushing hardest right now but if we get em on campus anything can happen. Everyone keeps listing us with Hill but I think that's a Clemson/UGA battle though could change if he visits for BCW next month
Class Prediction
Let me repeat that NSD is a very long ways and this is all guesswork at this point. Don't take this as gospel just my best guess right now. Also I expect a few of these guys rankings to rise (Fox, Teague, Wire & Jibunor specifically)
4* QB Joey Gatewood (Commit)
3* QB Gerry Bohanon --> I think Fields flips to UF and we push for Bohanon
3* RB Master Teague --> Not gonna lie I want him the most so could be bias but I think instate guys go elsewhere and we push
3* RB Shaun Shivesr (Commit)
4* TE Tyneil Hopper
4* WR Justyn Ross --> not confident at all in this but hey it's May
4* WR Matthew Hill
3* WR Shedrick Jackson
3* WR Kolbi Fuqua (Commit)
4* OT Dylan Wonnum --> Irvin the difference here
3* OT Cameron Wire --> LSU passes and AU in need of a OT
3* OG/C Jalil Irvin (Commit)
3* OT/OG Kameron Stutts (Commit)
4* DE/DT Daquan Newkirk (Commit)
4* DT Alfred Thomas --> I still think he eventually gets offer but my confidence is fading
3* DE/BUCK Andres Fox
3* Buck/LB Richard Jibunor
4* LB Channing Tindall --> T-WILL gets it done
4* LB Zakoby McClain
4* CB Jalyn Armour-Davis
3* CB Juanyeh Thomas
4* S Quindarious Monday
4* S Myles Mason --> Askew part 2
Class Score: 256.99 (9-14)

Do we even 5* bro?

Ross is super close but because ESPN sucks he fell from 5* to 4*. AU has signed at least one 5* every year under Gus so chances are we get someone

finally watched his film. How many TD's did he score last year?? I like him a lot too, deceptively quick and shifty, with good vision. Seems like he plays in slow motion but no one can get a hand on him.

I really like this prediction, but the lack of quality and number of DTs is very concerning, especially considering we missed on a number of quality DTs in last year's class.

Wish we could get Coynis but I guess it's not looking likely.
What's the deal with not offering Thomas? It doesn't seem like we have a lot of other options ahead of him. Is there a reason our coaches don't seem to want him?

Agree on DTs. We still have great shot at Coynis Miller but we have never signed an instate DT rated a 4* or higher since Saban arrived so I don't like our chances. There's some lower rated guys with potential like Allen Love and Ka'Darian Hill but both need to develop
If we sign a big time DT it's usually from GA. Unfortunately not been a great crop the past two seasons and that's hurt our DT recruiting. We might try dipping into Tennessee with D'Andre Litaker or Brant Lawless though both look unlikely right now. Wouldn't be ideal but we might go JUCO route as well

Definitely still in it but hard to beat Bama for instate DT

My guess is height. He's around 6'1". Typically Garner likes 6'3" or bigger guys at DT. Which is why 3* Allen Love will likely land an offer soon. Personally as I have said many times I am big fan of Thomas so I hope he does get one this summer

Something to watch is 5* Teradja Mitchell is trending Ohio State. That could mean no spot for 3* Michael Harris. Williams wants Harris and McClain this class so if Buckeyes pass could get real interesting. I think Harris is top LB in the south. Oklahoma just offered him today
Posted on 5/1/17 at 9:39 am to TigerPaw1
Boo, why does a DT need to be tall? Low center of gravity seems like it would be a big plus for a guy whose job it is not to get moved.
Give me a Stump Thompson all day. Thomas is definitely taller than him.

FWIW that's speculation on my part but looking at past signees I think it's valid
I agree on not liking it too if true. Obviously we all want 6'5" 320 lb monsters but those hard to find. Give me a guy with great power and strong base no matter his height
Posted on 5/1/17 at 9:47 am to TigerPaw1
Just checked to make sure I not crazy on the height thing. Ben Bradley and Jauntavius Johnson are shortest DTs we have signed under Garner at 6'2". Both were 300+ lbs. Thomas is just under 6'1" and weighs in 270 range so doesn't really look like any type of DT or SDE we have signed

Someone asked KN about DTs (promise wasn't me 
) and here's what he said
) and here's what he said quote:
With Newkirk already committed, Auburn may only need one more tackle. While we list Newkirk at end he will grow into a DT.
Seems like the emphasis is more on finding pass rushers.
Posted on 5/1/17 at 10:45 am to TigerPaw1
It's interesting that they consider Newkirk a DT. He isn't a true DT, so I was really hoping that in addition to Newkirk we would sign at least 2 true DTs who are at least a 4* but clearly maybe the coaches don't see it the same way. Wouldn't be shocked to see Garner haul in a highly rated 4* DT at the last minute.

I am curious to see how he does in JUCO this year. Hopefully he plays inside there and we can get better feel on him because like you I not sure about DT right now
