That may be true but the concern is JS following KB. If his best on field option is a non P5 school, no way JS follows him. The wait is about him receiving a P5 opp, which publicly nothing is being discussed.

KB will not get an OC job this year. He's the same as CRL, no separation from HC to value the hire on a P5 level. Coming to AU as a position coach might be a play if it's an OC in waiting type deal with CRL moving on next year (possibly).

Theres literally nothing out there publicly about anyone looking at KB for any job. Nor CRL either.

Unless rumors of a Kiffin hire are true and the recent offer to Tua Tagovailoa is an indicator that the coach he committed to at Bama will be his coach at LSU. I think they'd take the 5* #1 DT QB over the 6th with injury issues.

LOL, yeah same guy who just showed up on our 247 homepage with interest (4* WR CJ Cotman). UT needs to hang on to these 4*s they have like 30 3*s on their board but not much top talent. Just saw where they also lost 2 brothers that were 3* lineman.

Those close to TD indicate Bama's preferred LB from JUCO isn't going to have the grades. They are full court pressing. AU pushing to make this weekends visit an OV to hopefully seal things up. Hopefully TD sees how valued he was to AU and that there is early PT. Going to be a bumpy ride. He does love the coaches and his fellow LB recruiting commits, so we'll see.

Horton that's #9 in the Recruiter Rankings?

Bama has cranked up their recuitment of TD in last few weeks. I'm still told he has a great relationship with Steele/T-Will and that he is still recruiting for us. His fam is not trying to make him change his mind, they see better playing time for TD at AU and really good coaching.

Much deserved!

He truly is E!

Another win by JO and another good game for TD. Prior to the Hueytown game, TD had 89 tackles (42 solo), a forced fumble, 8 tackles for loss, 4 sacks, 5 quarterback pressures, 2 pass breakups and two blocked punts on the year. He is outperforming all other LBs and DEs in the state and making a pretty good case to jump up to state rankings (currently #6). Wouldn’t surprise me if he worked his way to the top of ILB class (#6 here as well).

His uncle sent me the link for his highlights from this past week's game. Great vision and football IQ. Not to mention, he is a very quick guy for being that big. I can see him ending up as a DE for us in the future, similar to Holland.

My growing fear at this point would be that Herman's success at Houston vaults him into the Baylor job, opening up a HC gig for KB and taking Stidham with him.

Over pursue and get gashed by a mobile QB. Our gameplan is going to similar for aTm, Ole Miss, etc. Look at what Kelly did to FSU last night (1st half) and what Francois did to Ole Miss (2nd half). I would expect our sack count to be down for the year.

Leaving SP and attending a prep school in FL... http://highschoolsports.al.com/news/article/-4836030631346016735/auburn-basketball-commit-austin-wiley-leaving-spain-park-plans-to-attend-out-of-state-prep-school/

Agree. He's a really good linebacker and would compliment the other 2 already committed very well. This would leave 1 more spot for best available; Ignont, Taylor, Rice, etc. It would leave 1 more spot for a LB. We still may take a 2nd, 5th overall as best talent available route. We've got 2 now but you say 1 more. You also say we may take a 2nd for 5th overall. Am I misreading? Yes you are. lol. I was following your hypothetical if we landed KJ giving us 3 LB commits as the starting point for my post. So we are saying the same thing then. My OP said adding Britt to current commits (that would be 3 LB commits) then said leaving room for 1 more. Total of 4. You said it would leave 1 more spot. Total of 4. With potential for a "best available" addition.

Released top 10 tonight; AU, bama, Florida, Tenn, fsu, Notre dame, UNC, Arky, Miami, USCw.

KN says Britt is trending back to AU and he could see him finishing out the class with Ignont.

Add Brahms to the fold and OL class is looking strong.

Actually getting commitments from Brahms and Barrett this weekend might be good momentum with Mond and Jones on campus.

High on DB. Reminds me of Kerryon. Seems like we are taking ATH again but good size ones instead of little slot guys. Our O could have a ton of versatility if play calling is done correctly.
