Around the SEC: Recruiting news and trends
It's that time again, time to take a look around at the biggest pick-ups on the recruiting front as well as some of the top recruiting news and notes from around the SEC. Jason Howell details just that and more in this week's, Around the SEC.
Monday morning recruiting notes
I've talked to 3-4 commits since Saturday. The loss doesn't seem to have affected the morale amongst the commits. It's actually sort of galvanized them. You saw Scooby Carter even tweet something about how he can't wait to come in and make an impact. As usual, the recruits handle losses better than most fans. -Jason put out a note on Marcus Banks commitment date, and I'm certain he'll be a main target at corner to close the class. However, he's not the only one. Illinois commit Marquez Beason remains in the conversation as does junior college standouts Elijah Blades (Oregon), DJ Daniel (South Carolina), and I continue to hear LSU pledge Dreshun Miller has reciprocated interest. It's pretty clear that A&M has made getting immediate impact at corner a priority.-We've heard murmurs of Florida based commits Adrian Medley and Tarian Lee scheduling visits elsewhere. If that happens, I think the A&M staff would take that as a reason to continue to recruit/push guys at their respective positions. With about two months to early signing day, taking visits this late can be nefarious propositions. -I'm doing some more digging on a pair of underclass prospects that may have some upcoming news. As soon as I get more intel, I'll post that note later today.
A couple new DB names to watch
Hearing from a couple JUCO sources that there are feelers out on CB DJ Daniel out of Georgia Military College as well as Dreshun Miller, a corner prospect at Eastern Arizona CC. Daniel is a 6-0, 180 pound corner who is originally from Georgia but, despite having a UGA offer, is committed to South Carolina.Miller is another Georgia native. He stands 6-2, 180 pounds and is committed to LSU. For now, there hasn't been a ton of back and forth, but I was told A&M has asked around. The Aggies were once in pursuit of JC CB Elijah Blades, but it sounds like he's pretty firm with Oregon.
