Per 247, he has set his final three. USC, Auburn, and LSU and stated that's his final 3 in order! So, here's hoping for the best!
Arden Key's final 3....
- Thread starter cj_mc7
- Start date
Better watch out for Auburn though with all their crooked recruiters including the bagman, Rodney Garner.
Exactly what I was thinking.....glad we are in the running but there is a lot of time for him to flip to Auburn as his top pick by next week. Maybe he will flip to Auburn this weekend and then flip back to us by signing day.
What a joke. If he was still serious about USC, he wouldn't have DEcomitted.
What was the first school he visited after decomitting? That should tell you all you need to know. That's where he's going.
Auburn scares he heck out of me in any football recruiting battle. It seems we lost most of those. We had one kid flip on us to Auburn as he was walking from his chair to the podium. Can't remember the kids name but I think it was in the early years of Spurrier.
I would be shocked if he doesn't end up at Auburn. I think the two times he committed to us he meant it, and wasn't playing games, but I don't see it happening a third time.
Well than why didn't he just commit to that team already? Why didn't he at least list that team #1? I don't think he has ruled any team out, I think he is trying to figure out which team he chooses he is going to have the best chance to get early playing time so he is waiting to see where some other recruits fall. We run a rabbit package which he is perfect for. We could put Blackshear and Lewis on the Inside and Key and BAW on the outside.
Was on the Auburn board and saw where they only had 2 DT's committed, both 3 stars, and no DE's committed. Not sure who else they are trying to land. If he comes here his numbers should be a lot better as we will have strong talent across the line his entire time here. Line him up with Lewis, Sawyer or Wideman and that will help his numbers tremendously.
I hope all these kids enjoy their day in the limelight. It all ends in 5 days and then they have to earn it all over again.
He re-opened his recruiting as a warning to HBC not to fire the coaches that were recruiting him. He has said countless times he would like to come here if Whammy and Adams stay and he wouldn't if they didn't. He repeated that this past weekend. They're his favorite among the coaches that are recruiting him. I'd be surprised if we don't get him. But he is fickle.
He cancelled his Auburn trip this weekend

And the worst part will be we kept this staff to keep this class and in the end, 8 decommits and this guy going elsewhere.
Will end up at Carolina for 2 reasons. 1) It's close to home and 2) His good buddy Wesley Green is at USC. Bank on it.
Isn't there a limit on how many coaches we can have? We don't need to keep inept coaches just so they can continue to collect a pay check.
Was there discussion on SportsTalk tonight that Ward and Key talked for a while tonight and Key actually told Ward that LSU had the upper-hand at this point? I'm hearing this, but didn't hear the show. IF this is true, we recruit Key through most of his high school years, have him commit twice, keep a staff in place to keep him as a key component of a recruiting class and Orgeron gets on him for 2 weeks and he goes there? Talk about a kick in the (pick some place).
Key is not going to make or break this recruiting class. He is a good player, but the Whitlow kid is similar to him.
I get the gist of your post, but please tell me you don't really believe that Steve Spurrier would prolong making changes to his defensive coaching staff after a horrible season like we had this past year to land one recruit, especially in a class that we're bringing in 6 other players for the same position. Or that every player that flips is being bought?
He wouldn't not refuse to make changes to save one recruit, but he would refuse to fire Ward to to avoid shutting off his Atlanta pipeline.
I've followed Key on Twitter since he first "committed" to us. I use the term "committed" very freely. Anyway, all along I have felt that Key would end up at LSU. He seems to enjoy playing the fans against each other and watching them squirm.
