Well, Jalen Thompson committed to South Alabama today. Hopefully that assuages any of Damon Arnette's concerns and he jumps on board.

Jordan Scarlett, 4 star RB that was #3 in the country until he committed to FAU because his HS coach left to coach there just decommitted. We are in his top 4. The other schools in the running (Miami, FSU, and OSU) already have multiple RB commits or 100% locks on the way.

We also have an ace in the hole, he goes to school with DB Damon Arnette.

Skai Moore is from Ft. Lauderdale as well and went to his former school. Scarlett mentioned him by name in the 247 article about his future.

Incoming freshman Harris also went there.

Hadn't heard about this guy til yesterday. Would be a good pickup and another inroad at a powerhouse high school

Yeah, I saw that too. For whatever reason, I'm not too worried by these numbers and there's a long way to February.

Watched his film... plays fast and loose and hits like a truck. I like it.

AJ Turner is supposedly announcing his commitment at The Opening so anytime between now and July 10th.

Crystal Ball is 100% in our favor

AJ Turner


Runs behind his blockers and has great vision. Solid pickup if/when he commits. Needs to put on weight though, he's a little light in the britches for SEC play at the moment.

Turner should be announcing tomorrow and it would be surprising if he didn't choose us.

DJ Jones said he might shake up his top 10. Currently hes got UT, Bama, Clemson, USC, Auburn, So Cal, FSU, Ole Miss, UF and UGA in that order

Kinda eh on Turner. There's big fish out there and we need to land one of them.

Still have the possibility of landing Scarlett, Shaw or Williams. And I heard recently that we could be getting in with Johnny Fraiser out of NC

IMO we need to land ANY of them, so I would be happy to get whoever steps up. I've read that the coaches feel it's a level board all the way across, so perhaps they are getting a little desperate too...

I don't think its desperation. I think that all the players on our board are pretty equal, except for Fraiser who is a step above.

As long as we get two I'll be happy. Got to get at least two though.

I think Williams has said he wants to be the only RB in the class. Hes definitely said that playing time is his top priority.

Well it'll most likely be Turner today and a #2 down the road. I would have liked Scarlett and Frasier both. Talk about depth good lord.

I think we take Fraiser even if Turner and a second (hopefully Scarlett or Williams) commit before him.

Turner could possibly be like Jamari Smith and play some DB

eta- Apparently Scarlett is committing today as well so its unlikely he'll choose us

Some tweets from The Opening:

2nd time mark fields has outrun the defense in this pursuit drill. 4.33 guy

I think Sherrod Pittman, the #SouthCarolina commit at LB, is one of the most physically imposing players at The Opening.


Wow, Fields timed at 4.33! Outstanding speed...
