i agree the noles don't have as much of a chance to move up due to have a bunch already commited, but it is nice not having to worry about losing guys on NSD. the only kids we had up in the air were 50/50. steward (clemson/fsu) and jernigan (fsu/lsu). got jernigan and not steward. i'd love to have both but pleased to get one and continue to have a great class.
i still cannot understand why clemson and UGA are getting such good classes. both went 6-7 last year and have questionable head coaches

I'll take that as a dig at AU, you bammer. :ack: Just kidding. We wouldn't have had to worry about it if Calloways step dad peaches hadn't of strong armed him into bama to play a position he doesn't want to play. And Kouandjio...he will probably sign with bamuh.
The Cyrus Kouandjio saga took another turn this evening when the highly-recruited offensive lineman's father told The Tuscaloosa News that the family will vote some time tonight on the player's college destination.
Kouandjio, younger brother of University of Alabama offensive lineman Arie Kouandjio -- who sat out last season as a redshirt freshman -- and the top-ranked tackle in the country, announced on national television earlier in the day that he would sign with Auburn. However, he never signed his scholarship papers or transmitted them to the school. Jean Claude Kouandjio, the player's father, said Wednesday evening that Cyrus does not plan to sign tonight.
Jean Claude Kouandjio said his son struggled with a decision of whether to play at Alabama or Auburn late in the recruiting process, and had not slept for three days. The father advised his son to turn off his phone after he received between 900 and 1,000 text messages in the days leading up to his announcement on ESPNU.
The 6-foot-7, 322-pound prospect told reporters that he was still thinking about Alabama, where his brother, Arie Kouandjio, signed just last year.
"I would love to play right beside my brother," Kouandjio said after he committed. "Honestly, I'm still thinking about it."
The player's father said he was unfamiliar with Auburn until AU head coach Gene Chizik made a recruiting visit and the announcement caught him off guard.
“I knew about them only last week," Jean Claude Kouandjio. "They had a visit in my house last week. I don't know a lot about them.”
Prior to that visit, he thought his son would join Arie at Alabama.
“Yeah, that's where my hope was. I was thinking that's where he would be going because his brother could be a good mentor for him too,” the father said.
“Of course. I was surprised," he said.
Cyrus Kouandjio, ranked by Rivals.com as the No. 4 overall prospect and the top player at his position, told his high school coach a few hours after the announcement that he was "unsure" about his decision.
Around 4 p.m. CT, the player posted on his Facebook page, updating his status: "not completely sure. . i just wanna b around the fam for a while and just. . . . . . . . . . . . wait," the post said.
Jean Claude Kouandjio said his son went to sleep soon after returning home from school.
In the end, after the family has its say, the decision will rest with Cyrus Kouandjio, the father said.
"… The only thing I can do with regard to his decision is to give him all the tools," Jean Claude Kouandjio said. "That way, he can analyze all the aspects of the problem. I can't decide for him because in the long run, two or three years from now, I don't want him to come back and say, ‘I went there because of you.' I want him to show courage, with the burden of any aspect of his decision. I don't want to be the person to decide. I raised him and (have) given him the responsibility. He's a little boy but he's grown enough to make a decision. That's all I can say.”
With thUGA and Clemson...sounds like Richt had to pull out all the stops and Alum had to start helping out also. As for clemson...they have always had pretty solid players its just Dabo can't coach for shit.
