Wish we could steal Steven Jacques and Andre Harris from AU

[pmgostate]

Two big aggressive OL, just what we need. I really think we need to sign 5 OL this year.

which OL Mullen (and staff) are really keying on right now in recruiting?

(I don't have access to the recruiting boards either.)

FYI, Bulldawg Junction does a crap job of keeping their recruiting database updated. Those Rivals & Scout star rankings you posted are out of date. Sam Watts is a 3 star on both Scout and Rivals. With all the "Not Ranked" tags, I'm sure the others are outdated as a well.

Autrey 1*
Conway 2* and WKU commit
Fowler 2*
Hubbard 2*

There are however a few 1* OL that are interested. these are the ones that were offered. These names came from Scout.

Aubrey Phillips from Olive Branch. He just got on offer from MSU after verbally commiting to UT.

Thing about him though- he is very raw, and he may have grade issues. But if we can get him in, he would be a good get. I think he's listed at 6-3, 345 or something like that.

A couple of guys that we RS this year that might help next year:

Tobias Smith, it seems like everyone talks about him. He probably will contribute next year.

And then John Paul Alford, a center from Kosciousko who is 6'3" 280. I'm not sure why he doesn't get menitoned very much. But I've seen him play and he is a very physical player. He's also probably going to give us better size than Looney.

 

[bullshooters]

John Paul is the man.... we will definitely be the anchor of our oline--smart guy and hard worker

 

[Emanonion]

but he is definitely going to need a red shirt year and a lot of technique work and weight training.
