LPTiger 5,159 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 5 hours ago, Mikey said: 5* players at any position were rare until just recently. The recruiting sites have greatly expanded the number of 5* guys in order to sell clicks. I don't think AU has ever signed a 5* WR but then there haven't been that many in total until recent years. 5* guys I recall signing with AU out of high school: RB Michael Dyer and, on some sites, Tank Bigsby. QB Bo Nix. DL Derrick Brown. LB Trey Blackmon and Owen Pappoe. Who have I missed? Carl Lawson, Monty Adams, Roc Thomas 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LPTiger 5,159 Posted June 19, 2023 Share Posted June 19, 2023 I don't think Nate Craig Meyers was ever a consensus 5* but wasn't he at one point the #1 WR in his class? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And with Kyle Davis, it's a one-handed grab (can't remember against who.... MSU?). Edited June 19, 2023 by yngwie1995 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

phillyeagle 130 Posted June 20, 2023 Share Posted June 20, 2023 I mean, he's already committed....do you mean a flip would wait until NSD? Even if we do flip him before then I wouldn't feel super confident till the fax rolls in. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

au701948 998 Posted June 22, 2023 Share Posted June 22, 2023 I think that AU gets into one of these contortions every year about flipping someone from Ala. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
