Roquan Smith

Iman Marshal, jaylon lane, and quentin meeks at CB...

Meeks is a Cali kid, and son of former Colts DC Ron Meeks. DC while someone on our staff played for the Colts.

Or Trayveon. But someone who heard it on the radio said that Sumlin made it sound like it was a 2015 guy.

Maybe a 2015 guy that hasn't visited and will visit tomorrow?

I was in meetings all morning and haven't had time to catch up with all the posts, but based on a quick look at the LOIs, it seems we added only one player who was not already committed. Getting Mack is VERY HUGE (I expect he and Garrett in the same line will wreak havoc), but I was hoping for more.

Part of my expectations were based on comments from Sumlin, who for the second time I remember, hinted at more on NSD, only to have "more" not materialize (perhaps there is still hope on that front). Part of my expectations were based on things I read on various sites. Part were based on what I felt our needs were and my faith we were not done addressing those needs.

It's an excellent class, but I'm greedy. With the move to the SEC, Sumlin as coach, the new stadium, new facilities, etc, my expectations are higher. I really like Elam, but I wanted another CB. I LOVE Moore, but I was hoping for another LB. It didn't help that tu went from dumpster fire (players decommitting left and right and during their official) to getting traction and reclaiming some recruiting momentum. I want to maintain WRTS, but for the first time in awhile tu has a little momentum (despite a bad year and getting blown out in their bowl game).

That said, we signed an excellent class! And our class doesn't even reflect some of our biggest additions (Chavis, Christenson, Moorehead). If we produce on the field as I expect, my expectations for the 2016 class will be even higher (doubly so since our new coaches will have a year to build recruiting relationships)!

Liucci just posted that Roquan is backing out of his UCLA commit and will be calling our coaches.

Would be huge but I'm not holding my breath.

This sounds like Smith is going to UGA

Hints both ways in that. He says he just felt like he wanted to go out and "pave my own path, be a man on my own."

If that's the case, A&M could still have a shot as the option that allows him to do that.
