Here's why Jake Holland is more than a 3 star commitment, a lot more....

[Buzz Killington]

From what I've seen on some boards, Shon Coleman is wavering a bit in his commitment to Auburn. Supposedly he is taking a little harder look at Alabama. What say you?

Well...that could explain the bump.

I say not going to happen, remember Coach sabbin don't want no Auburn recruits....remember, that's what your inbred fanbase keeps repeating every year whenever Auburn lands a prospect that didn't have a bammer offer.  Again, I don't think it'll happen, but like I said when Auburn landed him...you know, when he didn't have any stars and when the bammers where laughing at his commitment and saying that he wasn't even good enough to garner any stars...that Auburn's going to have to fight to keep him, because he is that good.

Generally, when you don't offer somebody, that means you don't want them. So, when somebody says Alabama didn't want an Auburn player that Alabama didn't offer.....thats probably pretty accurate. I think its equally stupid for you to say that CNS never ever wants somebody that AU has. See: Petey Smith, Atchison, Willis, etc. I mean, I guess any guy we land that Auburn didn't offer we can go ahead and say AU wanted him?

Jake Holland got his bump.....finally.  I'm not so sure on Shaun Kitchens getting a bump, I'll take him either way...just like I stated that I'd take Shon Coleman when he was a 3*.

So Holland is a 4* now?

So Holland is a 4* now?

According to rivals, yes.

[jadennis]

I was thinking that would happen after they seemed to like him at the Under Armour practices.

They listed him "honorable mention" twice.  One for "Nitro team defense" and the other for "stock rising".

Yeah, the "stock rising" kind of tipped us off that he may move up.

And this write up sounds pretty damn good too given the competition he was with.

Though Jake Holland of Pelham, Ala., is the only inside linebacker on the team, he is incredibly strong and has proven he can stop the run. He also has five interceptions on the week and will make the quarterbacks think twice about throwing over the middle. Benson will also spend some time on the inside.

With the quickness of the linebackers on Team Nitro, any team would struggle with them. Though all the outside players are a bit undersized, Holland is an anchor in the middle.

Ed Christian dropped from a 4* to a 3* today.

Kenneth Carter has been been (or will be soon) bumped from a 3 to a 4.

[GH2001]

Ed Christian dropped from a 4* to a 3* today.

Hmmm...right after Mack committed too.....
