247 Profile Junior Highlights

What we know:

-Announcing September 23rd
-Sister attends Mississippi State
-Father attended Ole Miss
-Taking OV to Oregon on September 19th
-Supposedly Alabama leads

Here are his Sparq results from The Opening:

40: 4.3
Vertical: 44.4 inches
Shuttle: 3.96
Total score: 141.66

Ole Miss mod David Johnson had this to say on the night Knott set his announcement date:

quote:

Ole Miss is in it. I think it's going to take a surge, but it is possible.


So what's the feeling here Landmass friends?

TideSaint,

You know exactly what they are going to say, Bama may get a commit from him in September, but come February he will switch to Ole Miss.

They are so predictable.

Their mods seem to be setting them up for him going elsewhere.

Personally think if he goes OOS he goes to Oregon or FSU. Bama wouldn't shock me nor would staying in state though. I think David's assessment is probably right. The kid is hard to get a read on.

Would love to have him. Needs to be more careful with his knees though.

FWIW, two of the three FSU writers CB'd him to Alabama within the last week. The last CB for Oregon came in March.

Sounds almost unanimous for Bama. He's pushing 5 star status now, being #25 overall on the Rivals list (so should be 5 stars by the end of the process if he doesn't fall spots). He's up to #45 composite. Looks to be about the biggest athletic freak in the class, even though he's not the biggest guy.

Great athlete. Looks to be heading OOS at this point. No clue where. I have a feeling that Oregon trip sends him that way...

Freakish athlete.

Wish he was coming to Tennessee. Seems like Alabama is his likely destination.

Bo Davis is absolutely killing it in Mississippi right now.

Alabama appears poised to land Raekwon Davis, Jeffrey Simmons and Nigel Knott in the 2016 class. They also have commitments from the top two players in the state for 2017 in Cam Akers and DD Bowie.

Landing them/holding onto them is going to be another story.

Yeah, that's gonna be the issue with about 80% of the people you listed. You may get 1 or 2 of those kids though

I think Freeze missed a huge opportunity when he didn't hire try to Melvin Smith and went with Corey Batoon instead. Sure Batoon might get us involved in some west coast kids but I don't think we'll ever see the payoff that Smith would have given.

Y'all may get Knott, but Simmons is going to Ole Miss or State. Davis likely to State. As for '17, Akers will go to State and Bowie to Ole Miss.

Do Mississippi folks actually believe this or are you guys just trolling? I would imagine the odds that 4 out of 5 kids already committed to arguably the top program in the country flipping are probably pretty small. Obviously I could be wrong but it sounds more like wishful thinking that is probably being propped up by one of your more homer recruiting guys.

It would not be surprising if one they did commit, but I do think Davis, Bowtie and Akers stay committed to Bama. I think Knott ends up at Oregon and Simmons will be at state or ole miss.

I agree with this, and I know it was made out to be a joke earlier in this thread but I think Knott commits to Alabama and will visit both tLandmass schools in January and flip to one of them. THAT is what is predictable.

There seems to be a consensus among the mods that Davis will flip to State. That would be three flips in two cycles (Leo Lewis, Benito Jones, Davis). So it's not that far fetched that Bowie and Akers would flip also.

Happens to often not to predict it in MS.

And it was me who CB'd him to Oregon.
