LKEEL75 2,566 Posted December 22, 2016 Share Posted December 22, 2016 Nice interview here and they have him listed as the No 1 recruit from AL next year. link I could not get the link to the interview so you will have to go to link to here full interview. Quote Four-star receiver Justyn Ross of Phenix City (Ala.) Central, the No. 1 junior recruit for the state of Alabama in the 247Sports Composite, plans to take multiple college trips in 2018. Right now, though, the person he'll make them with is overseas. "I plan on taking a whole bunch of visits to my top schools when my mom comes back from her deployment in Kuwait," Ross said. Ross' mother, Charay Franklin, is a member of the National Guard. "It's real difficult but this is like her third time doing it, so I'm kind of getting used to it," Ross said. "I just know she's going to come back in one piece. She's a great role model because she's a great woman. She's been independent and takes care of me as good as she can." Once Franklin returns home, the 6-feet-3, 185-pound Ross will be busy. He holds offers from many of the country's top programs. According to Ross, he has visited Auburn and Alabama the most. He mentioned Florida and Florida State as schools he'd like to check out in the future. Ultimately, he'd like to pick his college next summer. Regarding the Tigers, he called Auburn a "great program" that is "always going to be a good team." And ... "They're like 20 minutes up the road," Ross said. "I have a good relationship with them. I can go there any time I want to. Me and (receiver coach Kodi Burns), we talk probably every day." One of Ross' former teammates, cornerback John Broussard, is an Auburn freshman. "He doesn't really pressure me about it; he tells me eveyrhting about it, how good of a family it is, how everybody is with each other and has everybody's back," Ross said.

milehighfan 1,239 Posted January 1, 2017 Share Posted January 1, 2017 I don't give a rats a$$ about who the lead recruiter is just so long as they get him come to the Plains to play football. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cole256 17,039 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I know for a fact that sometimes they post the wrong lead recruiters, I also know that sometimes the lead recruiter changes, and sometimes even though there is one lead recruiter named that it's a team effort at times and two guys will talk to a recruit and neither spend more time than another Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

NorthGATiger 1,801 Posted January 2, 2017 Share Posted January 2, 2017 I'd love to have this kid but I can't get excited until I see this staff utilize the talent we have in the passing game. Look what we just signed last year. I'm not being negative but until we scrap our route tree and start running routes that use the whole field it won't matter if we recruit Jerry Rice and Cliff Branch with Tony Gonzalez at TE. We have talent at the position right now. You can't have 4 WRs run long developing routes downfield on 3rd and 7 when the defense is blitzing unless you plan on your QB either getting killed in 2.5 seconds or running for a 1st down. Our routes consist of go long or WR screen. It is the single most irritating part of our offense. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,062 Posted February 27, 2017 Author Share Posted February 27, 2017 Props to Justyn. He got a 5th star from Rivals today. He now only needs a combined 9 spot jump from any of the sites to be a composite 5 star. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
corchjay 5,311 Posted February 27, 2017 Share Posted February 27, 2017 Ross is a huge measuring stick for our new "offense" this year unless he just hits it off with coaches from another school. Our offense does what it needs to do and I think we get him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LKEEL75 2,566 Posted March 9, 2017 Share Posted March 9, 2017 Doing his best MJ impression: link Sorry the twitter link didn't post. You will have to go to the article to see it Quote Justyn Ross of Phenix City (Ala.) Central, the No. 1 football recruit in the state of Alabama and one of Auburn's top overall targets, was messing around with friends at a local gym Wednesday when he decided to do his best imitation of famed basketball players Michael Jordan and Julius Erving. Jordan and Erving, as some may recall, had memorable foul line dunks in slam competitions. Ross, who is 6-feet-3, 185 pounds, attempted to do the same -- and he came awfully close. Taking off from just inside the foul line, he threw down this tunderous dunk. How far did Ross go? Well, consider this: Per livestrong.com, "The free-throw line is about 13 feet horizontally from the front edge of the hoop." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
