AU Recruiting: Top 5 DT Prospects

1. Cordian Hagans – with AU’s top recruits at the position committing elsewhere, Hagans slides to the top. haven’t heard much lately on his recruitment but at last check he had AU and USCe on top. great size and speed.
2. Charles Deas – conflicting reports on Deas’ (or AU’s?) interest slide him down [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 DE Prospects

1. Robert Quinn – AU likely ends up a “top 3″ choice for this guy but USCe, UT and UF will be very hard to beat. still the best DE on our board.
2. William Green – seems like slimming chances for this end as well but i’ll keep him # 2 unless he definitely [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 OL Prospects

AU has a new commit on the OL, Jarien Moreland, a shaky but still committed OT in Jermarcus Hardrick and a possible upcoming commit from OT (maybe DT?) Barnes…how many will they take?
1. Antoine McClain – i have to admit i’d be a bit disappointed if AU let the grips slide on this big man. [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 RB Prospects

a bit of shuffling here now that both camps have passed, but # 1 remains the same.
1. Eric Smith – i think he’s the guy. down to AU and Clemson and should commit soon. power, downhill runner with excellent hands out of the backfield. compared quite frequently to former AU back Rudi [...]

AU Recruiting: Top 5 QB Prospects

A new offer, a new # 1…
1. Star Jackson – has the best measurables and potential of any QB on AU’s board. AU likely got a better version of Jackson in Kodi Burns last season, but he’s definitely the most talented QB on the board at this time.
2. Aramis Hillary – liked what little [...]
