    Just saw this, too.

    Back up plan? | Page 3 | Swamp Gas Forums

    Hopefully the Beck reference is just wild conjecture though.

    I get the vibe he's already picked a school and this is just an attempt to kick us while we're down. In that case I'd say LSU probably. We'll see...

    Maybe a Top 3 or an FSU commitment?

    Then turned around minutes later to say he was going to take his commitment process as slow as possible to enjoy it as much as possible. Must be “Top List” or an ASG.

    Was just announcing he wanted someone who do edits to hit him up but it ended up eventually being him dropping a top 10 list of "final" schools

    DL targets (i'm actually more intrigued by DL recruiting than any other spot)

    *Leblanc (SSDE/DT) - looks OU bound
    *Keldric Faulk (WSDE) - committing today; Clemson or FSU with UF still in it
    *Kelby Collins (SSDE) - i'm thinking UF tbh but could be wrong. Not sure when he announcing.
    *John Walker (DT) - announcing this month, i'm thinking OSU out ahead
    *Jordan Hall (DT) - just dropped a top 10 w/UF in it
    *Will Norman (DT) - PSU or UF and not sure when announcing
    *Peter Woods (DT) - We're in the top 4 but i don't see it happening for us
    *A'mauri Washington (DT) - see above
    *Kamran James (SSDE) - taking it slow but i'd be shocked if we weren't the pick

    With Searcy, Nixon, and Hall in the fall, we're getting right at the DE spots. Now, with that list of DT's about, we def need to snag 2-3 of those guys and i'm sure the board will expand until ESD/NSD. Of that list above, zero in on Norman, James, and Walker as those seem to be thee most realistic ones along with Collins who can add 15-20ish pounds and play DT.

    Things you hear/read but i mean it's UGA and Bama involved too so nothing set in stone. His Youtube page is really good too

    the state of AlaBama is loaded and those kids doesn't appear to want to stay in state. wonder if Bama history of going out of state for players is the reason

    Collins is listed at 6'5" 280 on 247. Sounds like a DT to me, especially if we whiff on Walker and Norman.

    I know there's smoke around Collins, but I maintain he's Bama bound. I just can't see them letting him get out of the state. At this point, I'd be surprised if we land either of the Osceola guys, let alone both.

    Of that list, I think we end up with Norman, Hall and James. While not the really elite class we were hoping for a month or so ago, that along with Searcy/Nixon/Hill would be a very good way to replenish the depth on the DL.

    Can James play DT? If not, that would be a very DE heavy class.

    yea he can add 15-20 and be a DT if he wants to be unless he wanna be a 3-4 DE at Bama

    i think we nab Collins but him picking any of the 3 he has remaining. As we’ve said for years, you GOTTA win battles if you’re up against Bama and UGA for a kid. GOT TO

    James probably can ala Zach Carter
