They are also after Mecole Hardman, I just think Knott is down the list.

So does anyone have a good list of who all is going to be here?

If you honestly read what he said, then you will see that he has pretty solid info. Not perfect, but decent and solid info.

Just a page or so back a poster said that Steve said of Simmons "In the FWIW category, Rosebowl says as of today Simmons is UM/Bama". That is not at all what Steve said. He has stated that he thinks Simmons is between UM, Bama, and MSU. The question was Steve's opinion of where he would actually sign. To that question he answered UM or Bama. Huge difference that folks will run with and then say Rosebowl was wrong.

Thanks, Steve **

Probably won't know until tonight.

He could come unofficially tonight, and then leave for Bama, but Im not sure Saban will deal with that. When you are recruiting at Bama's level you don't have to put up with the guys cancelling at the last minute.

My gut says he goes to Bama this weekend, but that we get him in for an official visit before signing day. Not sure when, could be mid week, or could be next weekend.

Still not the least bit worried with AJ or Kobe despite all efforts by the bears that are trolling the board.

I am not in the least bit worried about those two and a few more.

Looks like we are trending for Cecil Stallings, a DE out of Georgia.

It looks like the new staff at South Carolina aren't honoring his commitment. At least that is the rumor. Looks like a solid prospect.

When Muschamp was hired Stallings immediately said he didn't think he fit his defense. Muschamp has said he'd honor his commitment but he did agree that he doesn't fit his defense.

FYI, had lunch with an old friend today that follows recruiting closer than me, and has way better contacts than me, and he thinks we will take at least 10 more commitments.

We only have 13 commits right now, and 4 are early enrollees, so one or more may count back to the previous year. He thinks there is no way we don't take and sign at least 10 more players. I was thinking 8-9, but he is telling me at least 10 more.

Considering we can count some of the guys that enrolled early to last year's class, that makes sense. Anyway, just wanted to pass this info along, and what it tells me is that this is going to be an exciting next 18 days. Lets hope the board can keep it together over the next few weeks, there will be ups and downs, but I think we close strong.

LOL, classic Muschamp. What type of defense does Stallings fit? I mean, just an odd statement to make;

Im not sure we have ever had this many spots after the dead period open with Mullen in a long time, maybe ever. We are talking about potentially half of our recruiting class committing in the next 18 days.

Should make for a 'fun' last few weekes.

Definitely not the way I prefer to do it, but maybe if commitments start rolling in it will create some buzz.

Its all about WHO we sign. We won't have trouble finding 10 or 11 more HS football recruits that want to play in the SEC. Finding that many that can actually be solid contributors or more in the SEC may be an issue.

does Farrar (or anyone else for that matter) commit this weekend? Paul mentioned it was his birthday today or tomorrow and said something about it being a good weekend for him. I jumped to the conclusion that meant he might pull the trigger.

Yea today is his bday. To be honest I don't know enough about the kid to say he's going to commit. There's a group of guys who could commit this week & wouldn't surprise me. Lashley, Kobe, Couch, & Farrar.

Im wondering if we take Couch and Farrar, they seem like the same type guy. I really think the coaches are going to push for commits this weekend so we can start making decisions on what guys get spots and which ones don't.

Brown officially on his way to Bama.
