Winston tidbits.....

  • Winston is no longer considering AU and definitely will not visit AU....Winston was basically told last week by AU coaches on a conference call that AU was going to honor their pledge to Pike as the only QB signee....also stated numbers were tight as they could only sign 24 this year (Prosch transfer)...LSU is heavily recruiting Winston right now as they went to see Winston's girlfriend play bball this week and courting her for an LSU commitment (she plays for Hoover and I believe now currently committed to Baylor; however, was originally committed to LSU - interesting)...FSU or LSU would be my best guess right now with LSU having the edge as they are truly selling out for Winston and him starting as a true frosh...Bama still in the picture with a heavy family influence along with best friend Reggie Ragland.

    My take....AU coaches feel EXTREMELY confident about closing strong with 8 silent commits on Signing Day and just did not have room to hold a spot for a kid that was a longshot and/or could be playing MLB next year.

    FWIW...my prediction is that we close with Goldman, Young, Darby, Diggs, Williams, Alexander, Armstead and Watson....just don't think we will have room for Moore....if one of those silents flips, look for Moore to fill the void. WDE!!

    "Listen, Carnell Williams has been an inspiration to this football program and to this university. We're going to miss him when he's gone."

    We seriously put our eggs in that kids basket and turned down a shot at arguably the #1 QB in America? How is that supposed to be good?

    Cause Pike is gonna be da man..... 1st 4 year starter since Stan White.... i think?

    War Effin Eagle

    He couldn't beat out a bunch of high schoolers in an all-star game. And now he's a true frosh starter?

    I don't neccessarily believe we "turned him away"...just could not hold a spot for a kid that may or may not sign with us and may or may not play MLB....especially with our OC not being hired yet, would of been really hard to pull him to AU.

    WDE!!

    That's quite a list there....basically finishing with a win in every recruiting battle we're in that really matters. Pretty optimistic. I'm not sure it's safe to interpret coaches feeling good about kids with them being a silent commit.

    FSU coaches seem to be pretty darn confident in Goldman, Watson, and Darby.
    Diggs hasn't even gone to Florida yet.
    Armstead's situation is way, way up in the air...

    Anyway, I'm not saying you're wrong, but I'm just wondering if "the coaches feel confident" is the same as having silent commits when we know that FSU's coaches feel just as confident on half the guys we're after. Anyway, just seems like saying they are all silent commits is a pretty big claim.

    PS. By the way, this isn't to imply we aren't getting those guys, or at least some of them, it's just questioning that all of them are silent commits. In the big picture, I hope you're right....we'd be famous to finish with those guys.
