Currently 5'7" and 185. Does Sproles come to mind? Not far off from Emmitt Smith either. I think you should take a closer look. This is 100% true.

We are more confident in him getting in and all now and have been recruiting him hard. Any clue as to why uga cooled on him? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAG 33,976 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 Why is our secondary recruiting so lacking? I feel like this guy is definitely ours. We really need to focus on building depth back there though. Need the juco to sign as well. It feels like every year, I am hearing how thin we are in the secondary. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Monday is a sure fire stud at safety. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bigbird 60,493 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 @ClaytonAU Just watched one of his highlights and like most, you dont get to see much. Just a quick once over. Like a majority of HS DBs, he plays a little high. He seems to trigger well and closes quickly and violently. Many plays I saw him with his eyes in the backfield allowing him to break quicker. That works in HS, but will get you beat badly in college.He uses his hands well jamming and defending the ball as it arrives. He seems to be a solid prospect. 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted November 13, 2017 Share Posted November 13, 2017 I'd say the DB recruiting is anything but thin this year. Basically, we have three Safeties in the fold (Monday, Sherwood, and Fuqua) along with a guy that's a S/LB hybrid who could play some Nickel (Marsh). If we land Tutt, that's a high-end CB, and from what I understand, we're still considering/recruiting Keith Washington (former Michigan CB). If we spend five or six scholarships on the defensive backfield, that's depth. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A new coach at a position every year hurts your recruiting at that position often times. Your behind the 8 ball if recruits are in the developing relationship stage with a recruiter often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,082 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Info from a tOSU SECCountry style site Quote I spoke to Tutt briefly about his decision. “I talk to [Buckeyes cornerbacks coach Kerry Coombs] every day,” Tutt said. “Him, [defensive coordinator Greg] Schiano and Coach Meyer.” While the Ohio State staff has tried to stay in the game with the No. 25-ranked cornerback in 2018 per the 247Sports composite, the vibe I got from him is that he’ll choose the Tigers on Tuesday. “Auburn has been there the whole time,” he added. “The situation they’re in right now, and the situation I’m in right now, it’s hard to say no to.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gravejd 3,270 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Nice this guy seems like a solid addition to the secondary class we are assembling. Seem to be hitting our needs pretty well so far Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 From what I can gather, we're looking at Tutt (c'mon and join the fun!!), McMichael (a long shot), CD Daniel (Memphis commit), Jalynn Williams (Florida commit as a WR), possibly Derek Turner (seemed to be a target in the summer), and Keith Washington (at Co-Lin JUCO via Michigan). @ellitor Does that about cover it?

Other than McMichael I actually don't know who the 2nd corner would be yet & not sure CGB does yet either. He's still evaluating guys from what I have seen. AU is trying to get Vol commit Jaycee Horn on campus as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mcgufcm 4,096 Posted November 14, 2017 Share Posted November 14, 2017 Yeah, McMichael is the only lock of that group. Seems like we'd take him any time he wanted to sign up. The rest are just guys I've seen mentioned at various times having real communication with our staff. I saw some quote from Daniels basically saying if Auburn offered it would be tough to turn down, which I take to mean he's in if we want him. Like you said, it doesn't seem like we've made a call on who the second CB target is (other than McMichael). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
