I think we all know what was meant with the "staying south" commentary; semantics aside.

You're right, but personally, when I hear that a recruit wants to play in the south. I think SEC or maybe ACC. I don't think Texas.

When I hear he wants to stay in the south. I think he is from the south. I don't think Kansas.

So when someone is trying to communicate that a kid from Kansas is most likely going to play in Texas, I think they could have picked a better phrase.

He's going to stay in Big 12 country? He prefers the Plains?

TCU still the leader but change in offensive philosophy there could make this interesting for others. Wants to OV to Auburn now bc they want him to replace Robinson. Source still thinks he ends up in a warmer climate but really anything could happen. Wiltfong sticking with TCU for now.

Auburn may be a threat here. My Tide was heavy on him for a while, then cooled when a few other OL recruits pulled the trigger. Still wished we would have got him. Good luck and keep him away from them Tigers.

Italics missing?

Yes, the conversation was on-going during the time I posted that, and news had just broke earlier that day or the day before that he had long arms and was killing it at the camp, so italics weren't necessary at the time.

Top100 OL Braden Smith is also one of the nation's top athletes. Recently ran 4.69 & repped 575lbs three times
