DB CD Daniels - UCF Feb 2nd
*Signed* S Jaylen Key

UAB Feb 2nd visitors:
OT Henry Yoboue - Kent state this weekend, Arizona State Next weekend
DT Tavis Malakius - UNLV this weekend


Our prospects elsewhere this weekend:
RB Destin Coates at Georgia State
LB Jalen Rayam at UCONN
WR LiAllen Dailey at Kentucky

HCBC said in an interview earlier this week that we had 6 spots left to fill.

Yep that’s what I heard too.

Remember reading that CD Daniels wasn’t worried about OVing to us bc he had been on campus quite a bit, could’ve been somebody else or I’m just wrong. Assuming someone insisted he take the OV, helps that he’s visiting at same time with Starling.

Have you heard anything on Isaiah Forte?
And do you know if Kingston Davis and TaDarryl Marshall (both announced transfers) have enrolled?

Last I saw on Forte was an In home visit from the Citadel a couple days ago.

I saw the Independence CC twitter account claiming they signed guys to UAB in Dec. Somebody called them out on Twitter for that being a false statement , and Davis replied with “Facts”. Not sure if that means anything. But... I’ve been here thinking for the past 2 yrs we’ve spent the most time at Independence U than at any other juco and led for a lot of kids and have yet to sign anybody from out there. It’s fishy. Not saying it means anything at all, still weird we can’t convince one of 10-15 recruits to sign with us from out there. Davis was the exception and he didn’t sign.

Seen and heard nothing on Marshall.

Tough weekend thus far: Destin Coates committed to Georgia State; Tavis Malakius committed to UNLV.

Yep.

Still feel we need that fourth RB. Only confident about Brown and Street. some feel Davis fits mold more of a FB than RB. I say that not knowing what Tinch is gonna do and if he’s still committed. Coates was was most complete RB prospect we were after, too.

having brown as rb and a freshman hurt us to recruit future rb ,,,,

Was hoping we’d finish this class strong.

Isaiah Washington just set up an OV to Southern Miss. We kick their ass on the field and they return the favor on the recruiting trail.

Go get Jeremy Gibson and Mose Hall.

LiAllen Dailey to Kentucky

Tinch is still committed. Might be a JUCO guy.

I hope he is happy finishing no better than 10th place in the SEC. These are the ones we need to start keeping home!

DB Greg Grate Jr to MTSU

We really need a strong class this year to get things balanced out and keep the momentum going, but it doesnt seem like that is happening.

Besides the fact that he is an offensive genius, that is exactly why we needed Mark Freeman (or similar) as OC. Guys like him & Probst actually know how to recruit. You can only use #theReturn and "family" talking points for so long.

And "family" is pretty commonplace...

No doubt about that. Auburn has talked about the "Auburn Family" for as long as I can remember. On UAB's behalf, I do think they are more sincere and real about it than most.
