Scott Kennedy Quotations

We're just not sure what's going to happen yet.

Obviously the season Auburn had this year will really help them in recruiting. They are finding themselves in the hunt with players they wouldn't have had a chance on at the beginning of the year.

I don't think he would have visited Florida on the last weekend before signing day if he wasn't serious about them. But he can still only choose one team, and I think he ends up choosing Alabama.

He has great size and quick feet and he is also a very powerful blocker, ... He also plays every down hard. His work ethic is also tremendous. That is what makes the good ones into great ones.

He is as good as they come. He has the ability to play anywhere along the line. Even with that, I don't think he has gotten the attention he deserves, because he committed so early.

He is a five-star prospect, and we only give out 50 in the entire country. He is the No. 6 overall lineman, and that is an impressive number this year. The country is loaded with linemen; North Carolina, Alabama, South Carolina, Florida and Georgia's top prospects are all offensive linemen.

He certainly didn't look out of place at linebacker. In fact, I thought he was arguably the best linebacker out there. Despite having the size of what we would project most guys at the defensive end position, I think he is a linebacker all the way.

I think it's a strategy. They'd rather be done early and be working on next year's class now. I think it kind of builds on itself. The earlier you get done one year, the earlier you get to start on the next.

I think what's hurt them more than anything was losing three games at the end and not showing the usual dominance that Florida State showed.

I think they are real good with A.J. Jones. I don't think there are too many spots left open, and I would expect one of those spots to be filled by A.J. Jones. I think they will have definitely fulfilled their needs at the linebacker position come signing day.

Jermaine is so quick that they couldn't block him ... and when they did knock him on the ground, he would jump right back off the ground and chase after the play, ... That's what makes him so great. He never quits on a play for the entire game.

Recruiting rankings are all well and good, but they shouldn't pay dividends until two or three years down the line, assuming you've recruited to where you should have (in needs) to begin with. I don't care how talented the player is, if you are playing true freshmen you're in trouble.

Surviving for 30 years is not an end to itself. But for 30 years we've tried to better society. We've tried to contribute to deeper changes.

I think if they stopped right now they'd be fine. Now it's just a matter of trying to pile up more talent.

You feel like you're able to see the future. And it's bragging rights. You may win or lose on the field. But what's better than saying to your rival, this kid we were both recruiting likes my school better than yours?

They addressed some big needs at running back and wide receiver. But the offensive linemen, I don't think anybody had heard of before Mississippi State started recruiting them.

I usually don't doubt a coach when he goes in-state and gets guys like that so early. The coaches usually can see something in players like that and they knew what they wanted right away. When you think about problems with Florida's recruiting class, corner is one of the last things to come to mind.

Normally, I would see a guy the size of Brandon Spikes and say he's definitely playing for the defensive end position, but there are a few exceptional athletes out there who can play at that size. I think Brandon Spikes is one of those guys.

After you win 10 games (or more) four years in a row, you can go out and recruit nationally.

You're getting the tail end of those storms through Central California, and that's similar to precipitation outlooks for the next three months.

This could very well be my last year of carrot growing.

They are still loaded at the wide receiver position. It doesn't hurt to lose a couple of guys.

They're bringing in some studs on the offensive line. If you put Andre Smith on that class, that's just the cherry on top.

It's great to see my dad honored. In every way, he's a really, really great teacher.

He's strong enough, he's fast enough and he's played at a high level -- not at an SEC level, of course, but at a pretty big stage winning state championships. He's a solid football player.
