Re: ILB Jaquan Yulee

Is it grades with Jaquan?

Jaquan just tweeted he's backing off his commitment to Alabama. No surprise.

I think I read where he possibly had grade issues. Is this a case of us backing off in favor of others or grades, or him making the decision? May mean good news with Ben Davis and Jackson out of TX.

He had a ways to go to qualify when he committed back in June. I recall people saying it would be unlikely he signed with Bama then.

I hate to hear that especially from an inside backer commit. Oh well, next!

Re: ILB Jaquan Yulee

Coaches probably felt it wasn't worth the risk with all the other LBs still on our board. We seem to be in good position with Ben Davis, and some think we're doing better with Mack Wilson. Dontavius Jackson is heavily coveted as well.

Probably a grade issue....but man I would love to get Jackson, The Shark, Davis and Wilson....and if room, Yulee if he gets his grades or Thompson who is committed to MSU. And Add Cole in there.

That would be insane...not likely but incredible LB haul

Maybe the kid just wants to feel the love for the time left before NSD. There is still a chance he signs with Bama if he makes the grades.

He may not make it to campus for a number of reasons. Check the TD Moton thread from the last recruiting cycle. As I understand it, it's a similar situation. And on top of that, he has a little more than normal work to do in the classroom

Hey....somebody here told you several months ago that this would happen

This may deserve its own thread, William, but this is shaping up to be the most unusual recruiting cycle we've had in years. We've grown accustomed to having virtually a full class with less than a month to go. This year, as our commitment list keeps changing, we may have at least 10 spots to fill in the final days.

Silent commitments, surprise visitors, coaching changes etc. etc. .... maybe you and a few others have a broader feel for what will be taking place in the coming weeks. But for the rest of us, we haven't had this degree of uncertainty or unpredictability in years. The last few weeks should be hoppin'

Either way, we'll wind up with another #1 class. Kirby's doing a great job for UGA considering his situation. But JP is like a pied piper. Kids love him. Trust that some heavy leans to UGA are now UA leans because of him. Also, don't underestimate Lane & Tosh's pull on the west coast. Making some serious in-roads with some top notch guys out there.

There are also two more on our commit list right now that will wind up at other schools. It's expected. And contingencies are in place. Coaches from other schools yak to each other all the time. They know more than we do, and before we do that these kids are playing the game. It is what it is. But we're in a really good place right now.

Good to hear. It will make for an entertaining few weeks.

Grades were always an issue. Also , I would be surprised if Diggs didn't end up at Maryland. Also Davis is likely a Academic causality as well. Lastly, Vaughn who I talked about a last time is the number 1 WR in the country.

Re: ILB Jaquan Yulee Updates (No Longer Committed to Bama)

So all I see are players de-committing and talk of who we're gonna lose. We need to close strong. Is there anyone that we're actually going to get in the next few days?
