Talked to a church member who's a MLB scout and he said Ealy is a first rounder looking at a $2 mil signing bonus. He also said he didn't think Ealy was dropping om.

Go watch Cross's highlights from the HailState page. That kid is the truth. He whipped the kid from HBurg who is committed to Auburn. He is damn impressive
He played better than he had all year against us. He was the best lineman we saw all year that night IMO. But then you would watch him in other games and he looked average. Their whole team was like that. Their QB and RB were damn good too just showed up when they wanted too, not every game.
If we can get him to play he will be legit. I dont think a lot was demanded out of him at St. Martin.
I saw Hall on film vs Petal, he didnt wow me like Cunningham did when he would go
Your right about ST. Martin they only got after it when they wanted too, if they played they were pretty good but had a tendency to play down to the competition. Hall never impressed us, we were all kinda wondering what all the hype was about. He looked like he was more worried about how his gloves looked than sticking his head in there and getting after it. Cunningham as ability for sure he has to get it together to get in but he can play.
So we still have Walker, Emerson, DJ James, Payton and D. Washington on our board. Who do yall think will stay on the commitment list and who drops off. (We also have Cunningham, Moore and Pickering but those guys we continue to chase for sure)
I'm not going to worry over Walker and Payton. Emerson is 50/50 but I didn't see what Miami did today. James is gone. Washington sticks unless FSU offers or we move on.
Who are options to look at for CB? Losing James and Brooks, and Emerson being 50/50 leaves us a problem
James was waiting on AL and AU to offer. AU offered. He'll wait on AL but that's the only reason he's waiting.
Go watch Fred Peters. He is legit. He would prolly be the best player on OM's defense right now. He plays violent
Doubt it. He's probably got to commit to them though. What's funny about it, is James got pissed at AU for not offering early in the process and basically said it didn't matter if they offered.
I don't see AL offering more than a greyshirt. They loaded the boat today. James could play year one for us. Sucks for us.
What I miss?
Is it realistic we sign 11 more?
I think we can count 2 back, so if we get a little attrition from the 85 man roster limit I think we could sign 13 more. I know we have at least 2 early enrollees. They could save 1 or 2 for transfers. 11-13 more? IYOK, Ari...anyone know?
Ari does a good job w intel. He's not always right, nobody is. Cut the dude some slack
it's really the 85 number to look at. Clemson usually sign less than 25. We will sign 25 if we can find 11 SEC quality players between now and February, but I think it will be 23 or so. Even JoMo doesn't know right now. But yes, we could over sign next year if we needed to.
