Under Mullen and with Collins, we got good players out of Bama. Benny, DeRunnya, Errol, Mixon, etc but we don't seem to have as much traction there right now and I'm not sure why.
Not being negative. Just bringing up worthy topics.
None of those kids had committable offers from AU or Bama, or at least not until it was too late.
Our best chance at a kid from AL is that he is ranked as a high 3 star/low 4 star and AU/Bama don't have room. These kids can turn into great players, like the one's you mentioned earlier, but us grabbing an elite guy out of Bama just isn't gonna happen until we win more and hasn't happened under anyone's watch I can remember. We signed Duncan and Weatherspoon (and almost DJ James) this year. I don't see why this is "news" to you.
Ashford is wanted by virtually every school in the country. He is a top 150 player nationally and top 5 in AL.
It's like you don't understand that Alabama and Auburn are better programs than State.

Because UA and AU didn't want those guys.

True and over 90% of our signees hail from an area within a 300 mile radius of campus.....proximity is huge

Nice analogy! So damn true!

So now that I've looked over some things... whats the early word on McKinnley Jackson?
If there's ever a position we should be able to say... look. come here and we can turn you into a monster top 10 first rounder... it's DT.
Of course Bama did just hire Baker away from us damnit...

He’s definitely not an EE.

Since he isn’t a EE, it probably best that 90% of posters on here need to steer clear of this recruitment ..

I just saw Dylan Lawrence went to school with him. Well. that's something. He was on campus for the TAM game in Oct. Hopefully we can get him back soon.

They're first cousins, but it won't matter. He's not coming here.

In no way does that surprise me.
Well.. we will likely know by the Summer.
Moving on..

Robby Ashford is likely UGA bound. Look for Brendon Lewis as the 2nd QB. He's probably the top QB target.

I'd hold up on that. Bama is going to be the one to beat but I'm not ready to say not coming. Lot of Bama pull down there though.

At some point, we have to win our own damn state, if we are going to take the next step as a program.
