Sizzle 3,909 Posted December 25, 2019 Share Posted December 25, 2019 Say we did show legit interest in him. How are we going to try to pull him and Broderick Jones? We ain’t getting both. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Being invited to an all-star game titled "All American Game" and being an actual All-American are two vastly different things. This young man's name has popped up here before now. Apparently the only official visit he's been invited to is his recent visit to Arkansas. None of the normal SEC contenders have shown enough interest to use an official visit on him. Unless I mis-read the Rivals page, Ward is listed as the #30 prospect in Alabama and that's getting pretty far down the list. I don't think he's considered to be a prospect on most college boards.

A grayshirt is an offer to put a recruit in scholly in January. A Walk on (which is what AU offered), or even a PWO has no real assurance of that.

In Ward's case it looks more like a tryout opportunity than anything else. Ol Miss only signed 16 players so they had plenty of room to give Ward a scholarship today had they wanted to do so. He'll have a summer and regular season to prove himself on the practice squad. If he looks like he can help them, he'll get his scholly. If not, hell have to decide whether to stay there on his own dime or go elsewhere. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure what Kiffin's strategy is but it looks like he's trying to land the max of 30 next year by enrolling 5 under the max this year.

He's probably hoping that a full year's recruiting will bring in better quality players than what are left out there right now. Not a bad strategy if they will give him time to build his program.
