It's finally finished. Rivals has completed its reshuffling of the top 100 recruits, and there were more than a few significant changes.
6 of the 26 5* recruits are RB's. 5 are defensive lineman (DE or DT). LSU leads all schools with 3 5* players.
Auburn has just one 5*, recent commit Kris Frost, while Alabama has two 5* commits, safety Ha'Sean Clinton-Dix and newly-appointed 5* RB Demetrius Hart.
Both schools have multiple offers out to several top-rated players. Whispers suggest that Auburn has a good shot at landing 4* TE Brandon Fulse and 4* OL Christian Westerman (currently committed to Texas). On defense, look for Auburn to close with 4* DB Erique Florence and possibly newly crowned 5* DE Ray Drew.
Meanwhile, Alabama still has high hopes of reeling in big fish DE Jadeveon Clowney, OL Cyrus Kouandjio, and RB Isaiah Crowell.
One of the most intriguing stories of the recruiting battles is Brent Calloway, current Auburn commit and former Bama commit.
