3 Star Legacy Shedrick Jackson Commits to Auburn

A few weeks ago, I predicted that Jackson would commit to the Tigers at Big Cat Weekend. Turns out I was a few weeks early. The Hoover native and nephew of AU great Bo Jackson announced he was committing to Auburn this morning. This kid is already one of my favorite players of the class due to the fact he’s willing to go to a school who has a statue of a family member outside the stadium. Those are big shoes to fill and every time his name is brought up more than likely so will Bo’s. Heck, I did it in the third sentence.

Riley’s early recruiting success is a sight to behold

It has been, somewhat incredibly, just under three weeks since Bob Stoops ceded the OU head coaching position to Lincoln Riley, but it didn’t take long to see that things were going to be a little different under the new regime. Sure, we all knew that Bob and his staff were out there crootin’ like crazy. We just didn’t really get to see that much of the time.
