re: 5 stars committing early

quote:

---

OSU
Sawyer- instate, dreamed of being a Buckeye. Pretty simple
McCord- committed really early and is a QB who normally commit early. They pressed before anyone else
Henderson- kid they got on very early in an area they recruit well(VA). He knew where he wanted to go
Jackson- they got him on campus a couple of times last year and blew him away. He jumped aboard pretty early as well and was a longtime lean. The recruit TX well also
Adeleye- highest ranked 4 star. He's a crapshoot still. Already lots of talk he will eventually end up at Bama. He was a longtime lean to Bama before the OSU commit.

Bama
Latham- they were the early, early favorites then it seemed to flip to OSU/LSU. Last month or so before he committed the Bama surge starting being reported until he popped. He always planned to commit early and with a nudge here or there it could've been to us
Brockermeyer- much discussed here. Bama pressed hard early and the structure/NFL tradition won the day. Another that a nudge here or there and he could've been here
Payne- they pressed first and hardest for like 2 years now. Kid himself said he's known for a year. It was just a matter of him being ready to announce.
Brooks-they prioritized him and he was ready to jump and get his spot. They recruit S. FL extremely well

Others
QBs- 4-5 of them. They also grab their spots early.
Williams- Miami just committed, much to the dismay of UGA who had him locked in
Lewis- Tennessee been committed a while and seems to be solid.
Franklin-Oregon could've been Bama. Grabbing his spot
Shipley-Clemson his plan was to commit early. OSU thought they had him for a while
Sanders-Texas TX kid committed to Texas. Self explanatory

Just looking at the 5* kids, the job that Day and his OSU staff are doing in recruiting is absolutely amazing. There are a dozen or so 5* they will either land or end in the top 2-3 for. Could still land 2-3 more. Could blow the doors off the record.
