re: 2020 Football Recruiting Thread

KN put up an insider this morning. Quick summary

- DL is always important each cycle but doubly so this go around with Derrick Brown & Marlon Davidson set to graduate plus Nick Coe NFL Draft eligible. KN gave a quick run down on three top targets

3* Damarjhe Lewis --> Flirting with lots of schools but was back in AU Saturday & stayed the night. Continues to say he's firm to AU. AU likes him a lot more than his rating

4* Will Anderson --> At one point had AU as his leader but now says they are in top group with FSU & Bama. Apparently tho AU might be the team to beat and told another recruit while on campus Saturday AU was his top team still

5* Myles Murphy --> AU feels it's a 3 team battle for Murphy between AU/CLEM/UGA. Mom is UGA grad but sounds like that won't factor into the decision. AU thinks Murphy is a perfect fit both on & off field. Garner is close with him & his family. AU believes they are a legit threat in this race

- 4* QB Haynes King is AU's top target at QB this cycle. AU was in on him early when he wasn't as heralded but now he's getting attention from everyone. There is concern will be hard to land him with Nix having come in last class. Apparently staff is working quietly on some other targets but aren't giving out much info on them in order to not alert other staffs. KN thinks it's very doubtful Robby Ashford lands with AU right now

- AU is off to a strong start at LB. They have roughly 3 spots left in the class at LB & KN ran down the top targets

5* Justin Flowe --> Plans to return to AU & could use an OV to Plains. AU recruiting hard with Gus Malzahn personally involved

4* Demouy Kennedy --> Longtime AU commit but is being chased by plenty other top schools. AU trying to get him back on campus soon

4* Jayion McCluster --> FSU leads but AU #2 & apparently had a really good visit this past weekend

4* Cameron Riley --> AU in top grou p with MSST. BAMA recruiting but no offer yet

4* Noah Sewell --> Might visit AU

4* Trenton Simpson --> Visited this past weekend & AU hoping it earned them an OV

4* Phillip Webb --> AU in top group with CLEM, BAMA & UGA. He was back on campus this past weekend

3* Desmond Tisdol --> AU leads with SCAR chasing

3* Rodney Groce --> AU leads with MSST/OM chasing
