Not comfortable in public or around groups of people. Always looked at his own feet a lot. I do not see him having any kind of charisma on the recruiting trail. I was that way for years but I was put in positions where to survive I had to overcome it. I now handle meetings speak in public, etc. Still would rather not do it but I can do it and am pretty good at it. If the desire is there you can overcome your limitations.

ellitor 33,093 Posted May 8, 2017 Author Share Posted May 8, 2017 Quote Auburn’s top DB target hopes for summer decision GULF SHORES, Ala. — In between a few gold-medal performances, the top defensive player in the state of Alabama found some time to provide an update on his recruitment. Jalyn Armour-Davis shined at the Alabama High School Athletic Association state track meet with first-place performances in the 5A 100-meter dash and triple jump. It’s that type of athleticism that earned him the No. 1 ranking among the state’s defensive players. The 4-star cornerback is a highly sought-after prospect by many of the nation’s top programs. With spring football ready to get underway, Armour-Davis is about a month away from hitting recruiting full force in hopes of finalizing his decision before his senior season at St. Paul’s Episcopal, though he won’t force or rush a decision. “I’m still really waiting until the summer to get all that figured out. Spring starts on Monday. Right now, I’m more focused on St. Paul’s. When spring is over, I’ll get back started up on more visits and really started to look into to make a final decision,” Armour-Davis said. “I’d like it to be July or early August, but I’m not going to push it. Push comes to shove, I’ll just put out a top 2 or top 3 and commit after the season, but definitely before December.” Jalyn Armour-Davis showcased his speed at the Alabama state track meet this past weekend. (Benjamin Wolk/SEC Country) As is always the case with Armour-Davis, it’s worth mentioning Auburn was the first program to offer when he was in ninth grade. The state’s top defender has always vouched that will play a key factor for the Tigers. He wants to continue building that relationship. When it comes to Auburn’s sales pitch these days, however, he’s not sure if there is anything else the staff can do. Kevin Steele, Greg Brown & Co. have made Armour-Davis’ prioritization evident. He just wants to see that connection grow as he narrows in on a decision. “They already know how I feel. I know how they feel. It’s just getting comfortable, as usual. There’s nothing really new they can pitch me. I’ve been up there multiple times,” Armour-Davis said. “They’re definitely making me feel like their top guy. They’ve been doing that since my ninth grade year when they were the first to offer, so I know where I stand with them.” As for the other schools in contention, look at Armour-Davis’ previously released top 6 — Auburn, Florida State, LSU, Georgia, Florida and USC — plus Alabama. The Crimson Tide didn’t make the original list, but Armour-Davis said: “From a more mature standpoint, it would be a 10 times better decision for them to be in it.” Auburn and Florida State have been the two programs mentioned most with Armour-Davis. Alabama needs to be included in that mix, and as Armour-Davis prepares to take college visits, the other programs on his initial top list of schools also can remain factors. All the while, Auburn has stayed consistent in Armour-Davis’ ear. “They haven’t pushed [for a commitment]. They’ve asked, but they haven’t said, ‘Go ahead and commit.’ They’re just wondering where I am and where I stand,” he said. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mcgufcm 4,096 Posted May 8, 2017 Share Posted May 8, 2017 The dude I was going to point to is Malcolm Askew. Yes, technically, he was an "athlete," but we were recruiting him as a CB/NB all the way. He was highly rated no matter how you define highly rated. If we're calling him a CB, he should count. Even so, it would be really nice to as Jalyn. The guy can ball.

Ruffin, Roberts, & Bessent from the 2014 class were Top 125 overall prospects. 2 have been moved to Safety & 1 transferred. They didn't pan out at CB but they were highly rated.
