W.E.D 11,071 Posted June 16, 2023 Share Posted June 16, 2023 I'd like to beat Clemson out for him bc I hate Dabo. Also, he's apparently really good and probably a solid 4* kid when it's all said and done 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ideally we want Barber, Riddick, & 1 of Simmons or Shaw. If we miss in Riddick then both may be a take. Sounds like Simmons is the preference. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We would take him today. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DAG 34,939 Posted July 7, 2023 Share Posted July 7, 2023 One end we have with this kid is josh played at Harding. So weird seeing him be a freaking position coach at a power 5 school hehe. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Scratching my head on that, not doubting staff (as if they'd care) but right now our LB pool & recruiting plan looks like Ellis Johnson's "star" system, which can be glorious if you have a 5 star 1st round NFL caliber middle LB.

autan 811 Posted July 13, 2023 Share Posted July 13, 2023 Apparently staff feels 3*s Barber and Simmons are underrated. I've heard Shaw may be a little overrated. ND seems interested though. My guess would be Shaw commits to AU with a firm offer at BCW. Riddick is No. 1, but probably a long shot, unfortunately. Would be our best LB recruit in quite a while, IMO. I've always thought Simmons would end up at Arky and probably be a tackling machine, especially against Auburn. Hope it's the reverse, but I would imagine the kid is getting pressure from the Hogs. But what do I know? Nothing. Just surmising as an outsider. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well they are not the only ones based on all the interest he got off limited film. I am still in awe that an athlete from little ole Harding Academy is getting this much pub. Brings back memories.

ellitor 33,892 Posted August 20, 2023 Share Posted August 20, 2023 Committed to Arky yesterday. Clemente said AU got tired of waiting on him and backed off FWIW. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
