The FSU job is clearly good.

Just good? Great? Or elite?

"Top 10" one head coach said.

Opinions vary.

But a common them in polling dozens of staffers: Everyone wonders how much $$$ FSU will dedicate to rebuilding this thing.

The addition of Jatori Williams put a *huge* bow on the offensive line class

On paper, looking at blue-chip additions and signees, it's the best Auburn O-line haul since the 2017 recruiting class

Alabama offered 2028 EDGE Steven Williams out of Lee County High School in Georgia.

He is 6-foot-8, 280 pounds.

Williams told @Bama_247 he plans to travel to Alabama on Nov. 21 for its matchup with Chattanooga.

Great read from Brendan here on the big news today:

[Brendan Sonnone @BSonnone]

Jatori Williams shut things down today as he decided to stay close to home and commit to Auburn.

This was months in the making.

How Auburn chipped away at a Miami pledge, fended off efforts from Deep South foes, and landed a Top 100 iOL ⬇️

There've been twists and turns aplenty in the Jatori Williams recruitment.

And now the Top 100 OL is set to return to Miami this weekend as the Hurricanes make a push to get him back in the class.

What does the late visit mean?

[Brendan Sonnone @BSonnone]

Thompson High RB CJ Cowley commits to Arizona State after an unofficial visit this weekend.

Has dealt with some injuries during his career, but has shown to be a mature, balanced runner when he gets his chances.

"It means a lot to me. Getting the opportunity to play in an offense like Arizona State’s and compete at the Power 4 level is a blessing. I know this offense gives running backs opportunities to make plays, and I’m excited about the chance to develop and compete against some of the best players in college football. I know nothing is given at this level, so I’m ready to come in, work hard, and earn everything."

[CJ Cowley 2027 RB @CJCowley26]

First, I want to thank God for blessing me with this opportunity and guiding my path. Thank you to my family, coaches, and everyone who has supported me throughout this journey.

After a lot of thought, prayer, and conversations with my family, I’m excited to announce that I have officially committed to Arizona State University! 🔱
