For A&M:

Best player - Shemar Turner. Services got this right. Dude is so powerful and so athletic. I think he plays next year.

Most underrated - Tyreek Chappell or Matthew Wykoff. Tyreek is a lockdown corner with like 30 D1 offers, including Michigan and Miami and UT, but only a 3 star. Matthew was really hurt by losing his senior year in Colorado and being unable to do camps during COVID, I think, but he definitely looks the part.

Highest ceiling - Reuben Fatheree. Dude is HUGE, while still being far more nimble and with far more bend than you would expect. He's still raw, but he has the tools to be an elite OT.

For Alabama:

Best player - Dallas Turner. Absolute terror off the edge. Pairing him with Will Anderson the next two years is going to be filthy.

Most underrated - Robbie Ouzts. He is a mean, throwback TE who is a killer blocker but also has the athleticism to be effective in the passing game.

Highest ceiling - JC Latham. He might be the #1 overall pick in the NFL draft in 3 years. He has played OT for only two years and is ranked as the #2 player overall.

For UF

Best Player: Jason Marshall Lock down CB

Most underrated: Desmond Watson, dominating inside presence. Has "bad weight" issue that will be fixed quickly once he gets to campus

Highest ceiling: Diwun Black, former 5* freak athlete, stuck with UF all through JUCO

LSU

Best player:
Maason smith. Dominant interior dline who will most likely join the rotation as a freshman. Paired with Roy could be a nasty interior dline.

Underrated player:
Matthew Langois (safety) only a 3 star but the dude is a ball hawk of a safety and will make noise in our secondary for a few years.

Highest ceiling:

Sage Ryan (safety) will probably start day 1 at safety or nickel and will be gone in 3 years to the draft

Missouri:

Best - Travion Ford DE: Super athletic, big motor.

Underrated- Mekhi Wingo DT: His height kept him from being a big time recruit, think Aaron Donald. Very strong, very fast.

Highest Ceiling- Dominic Lovett WR:

I'll raise you.

All the above: Tyler Macon QB: Again height issue, but had a massive elite 11 camp. Strong arm, mobility. I think he is the starter in 2 years, will give Bazelak a challenge in year 1

I think you got Wykoff and Zuhn mixed up. But I like both a lot, they seem like very similar players.

UGA:

Best player - Brock Vandagriff (QB)

Most underrated - Jared Wilson (OG) - he was good enough for Sam Pittman before he left, so that is all I need to know.

Highest ceiling - Amarius Mims (OT)

For ole miss I believe are best player is tysheem Johnson. Brian Dohn of 247 even said if he was two inches taller he would be a five star. Not having a senior season hurt his ranking.

Most underrated would be taleeq Robbins from philly... literally the same thing as tyreek chapel up there

Highest ceiling- that’s a tough one, I wanna say MJ Daniels tbh. Really big on him

I think all the Northeastern kids had their recruiting rankings hurt by the Covid lockdowns. We are in the hunt for Malone and if you look at his rankings he dropped like 30 spots throughout this season. It isn’t like he isn’t the player he was nor has he stopped training. It is all because he didn’t have a Sr year to show out. I believe Robbins would have easily been a 4* if he had a Sr year. Tysheem is a ball hawk that brings some serious pain. I see him as another Mike Hilton.

Not sure who is downvoting your opinion on these as they are strictly opinions, and I like your picks

Best player - ATH Rocket Sanders. He's only our 3rd highest ranked signee but dude just looks like a grown man and could be a really good playmaker for us at WR and RB, probably fills a similar role to Treylon Burks after he leaves. Could even be a good LB but sounds like he sticks to offense.

Most underrated - CB Chase Lowery. Ranked in the bottom half of our class but always really liked him, dominated his Texas playoff game against fellow Hog signee Ketron Jackson with a pick 6 and punt return TD. Think he has a chance to develop into a pretty good playmaker in the secondary.

Highest ceiling - RB AJ Green. Was offered by schools like Oklahoma as a CB but we got him by offering him at RB. Really fast and probably starts out as the main backup at RB behind Trelon Smith next year. Interested to see how we can use his explosiveness in the offense.

I like these answers, but for highest ceiling I’m going to throw out a curveball here. DB Davion Sistrunk out of FL

I think he’s really going to be good. He’s only played one year of football but he’s 6’3” and can touch a basketball rim with his chin. Just a ridiculous athlete who comes in as a blank slate pretty much

Best Player - it’s very hard not to say Turner. He’s the next Leal. Big, strong, good moves, can play inside and out. If I have to pick someone else, I really like Kendall Daniels. He’s got some serious length and size for the safety position. Plus he can move. He’s the guy you want to take on the TEs and big possession receivers over the middle.

Most Underratted - Yulkeith Brown. I think he’ll get his shot at slot WR first, but he’s very athletic (not elite) with plus speed and plus quickness who can play multiple positions. Good chance to make an impact on special teams too. Could be another Ainias Smith.

Highest Ceiling - I’ll exclude the guys already named and guys not yet officially committed and go with Eli Stowers. He’s jump from SO to JR was remarkable. He’s backslide a little this year, but things are a little crazy this year. He can move. He can jump. He can sling it. If he can sit behind King for 2 years, I think he’s got All SEC potential.

DE Justus Boone for UF

Also transfer RB Demarckus Bowman from Clemson will be a beast imo
