We're wasting our time with this player. Sounds like he wants to go to Auburn.

Not so fast,  I think we're still in it.

Just you, I don't think we've been by to see him in awhile. If we go to see him before the 25th, then we at least still have our hat on the table, lol.

Appears we are right at 85 right now, and are still recruiting for 2-4 spots. Might not have room for another LB given the needs elsewhere.

We should have room for as many quality defenses players as we can get.

With only 4 more spots left it looks like they are focusing on DB and DL.  If they miss on some of their targets they might take him.

Oh I know what they are looking at but in my opinion we are "reaching" on defensive lineman and I'd prefer we take quality across the board over taking bodies. Didn't work out so well last year when we took offensive lineman just to hit a number.

To that point Michael Epley is now in the mix.

We have these uncommitted guys coming in during the next two weeks, Calloway, Young, Epley, Kujawa, Stewart, and Byrant. The last two are mid-week guys that long shots, and I didn't put Curl on the list as he will be committed to somewhere, hopefully it us.

I guess depending on how this weekend goes, there could be more.

What's Kujawa first name?  I guess I missed that he was visiting and was trying to look up his recruiting profile.

Tommy?? He's from Wisconsin and best I can tell, he doesn't have one, maybe a preferred walk on?

It may not be all you but I don't want him so I don't want to see any positive. His teammate I would take, him I would take as a preferred walk-on.

Kid has an offer to Auburn at FB, so I don't think he'll come to UA as a preferred walk-on.

Epley appears to be a full-qualifier who is either a "4 to play 3" or a "4 to play 4" guy. Not sure, but that is what it looks like. Signed with SMU but went to JUCO for one year and is now looking at Arkansas. If he played, is is 4 to play 3, if he redshirted he is 4 to play 4.

Not sure what to say beyond that.

EDIT: Ricepig correctly reads his highlight page and he is not a 4/3 or 4/4 player. He is a traditional JUCO player.

Kujawa has decent looking highlights but you do not know about the competition. He is reasonably big, does not have a lot of wiggle (but at his size that doesn't surprise me), but does seem to outrun quite a few players.

I would presume he is being looked at as another LB for the 3-4. Looks Brooks Ellis-ish to me. That is both good and not-so-good: if he could sustain or even improve speed and add 30 pounds fantastic. I don't know if that is possible.

Uh, don't think so, he signed with SMU in 2014.

Well, you need to edit some more, haha. He's been out of high school 3 years, so unless he's been bagged groceries for a couple, he has 2 to play 2.
