They, like us, have 26 commitments, including 5-star JUCO DL signee Buggs.
They are currently the presumed leader for DL Jarez Parks, DL Aubrey Solomon, DL Phildarian Mathis (along with LSU), WR Devonta Smith, and WR Henry Ruggs. They are also going to get OVs from DL Kinlaw (wish we could've gotten involved there), S Todd Harris, WR Nico Collins, DL Ryan Johnson (AU lean I think), CB Chris Henderson (they might have moved on after landing McKinney but maybe not...I would love for them or Miami to steal him from UF), and WR James Robinson (likely UF), among I am sure others. They also got an OV in December from DL Markaviest Bryant.
Obviously they won't get or be able to take all of these players. And their sick DL board this is clearly why Conliffe in particular has slipped down their board and is now a very real possibility for us. But what about Ray? For one, is it fair to assume that we are selling him on being an instant impact/first year starter (true or not) in this class for a program that is right on the cusp vs. being just another 5-star cog in the Bama machine? And also, and maybe more importantly, how do you think they play his recruitment and his 1/20 OV when they still have those other guys on the line?
This is likely a question for the BOL guys, and I would be most appreciative both for your input and thoughts (especially on what the Vols message is) as well as getting someone from there to come answer.
