Up to 8th on Rivals now. They have him listed as a 3*.

@ltraz do you think CBN shuts down the DL recruiting for now as we have 6 commits?

May not be the highest rated class since meyer but it's by far the best since then. Defensive linemen and wide receivers win championships. By far our best 2 position groups. This was a massive pick up .

There's no way we pass on Hall or McDonald . Mcdonald may be the nastiest DT out there and we might be the favorite for him too.

So Bama, UGA, and Auburn were all after James yet Rivals has him as a 3-star?

Seems that pressure has been put on particular areas at different times in the cycle.
Earlier the staff was leaning in on DB and WR. Once those areas of the field got locked down the focus shifted to DL and LB and the full court press got results. Let’s see what they can do with OL now…

I think the take on James is that he's an outstanding athlete, but still a little raw when it comes to technique. He's the kind of guy that could make a big move in the rankings with a solid senior year.

Five of the DL recruits project as DE. Would be nice to pick up another space eating DT like Hall or McDonald.

Same story with Norman, apparantly he has only been playing football for two years. Could be a 5* after Sr. year

We should be #10 now (I think) adding Will Norman

Just like with Andy Jean

247 has him around the 150th player.

On3 as the 25th player. His rise reminds me of Gervon Dexter’s.

James was a basketball player. He turned solely to football last year as a junior and had a breakout campaign. Then he crushed the camp circuits this summer.
