Antonio Doyle was bumped up quite a bit by Rivals.com in their most recent update:

https://n.rivals.com/prospect_rankings/rivals250/

Josh Helmholdt (Midwest): Even though he makes a big 129-spot jump in this update, St. Louis linebacker Antonio Doyle may still not be high enough. He has elite size for the linebacker position, but his athleticism is on the plus side of the ledger as well. Fortunately we are going to get another chance to see Doyle in-person in San Antonio next month against the top players in the country.

He's now a composite Top 100 player according to 247Sports:

Also, Tyler Macon was named the Illinois High School Player of the year by Rivals. He had a monster year.

Doyle has 5 crystal ball picks in and they are all to Texas A&M sadly. I haven't lost hope, just pointing out

Hasn't been much movement with Doyle's recruitment because him and his team have been in State Tournament for over a month now. They play for state title at 3pm today. So should see some movement with his recruitment very soon

Antonio Johnson just tweeted his invite to the All America bowl. Just checked for sheets and giggles it is Dec 21st, last day of early signing period. Just another name that is gonna flip and sign in our huge recruiting event on National TV.
It's the weekend and that's when I do most of my drinking on a completely unrelated note

If the All American Bowl is on the 21st, I’m in a lot of trouble.

He genuinely seems to love this job and the kids - which is beyond refreshing. I dont know many coaches that come off that way at the Power 5 level.
When we are winning that is how we come off yes. But that sure wasnt the impression at the beginning of the season

Is sure seems like Lovie is having more fun with this than he did with the Bears. That has got to come across to the recruits.

Yeah, it's coming together. Lovie's CV is so strong, his ex-players love and respect him. From the parental angle, who wouldn't want to send their kid to play for Lovie? Now that the program is moving the needle and we've resolved the facilities shortcoming, we're gaining traction. Exciting times.
