On the most recent episode of Before the Hedges, DawgNation's Jeff Sentell zeroed in on three big pieces of recruiting news for the 'Dawgs.

1) The back-to-back national champions are set to host their potential biggest recruiting weekend of the year for South Carolina. All-American DL Aydin Breland from California headlines this list.

2) The recent Chris Cole commitment was big. Very big. Cole should be seen as much more than just the seventh-highest-rated commitment for the nation's top class.

3) The recent decommitment of MASSIVE 3-star DL Michai Boireau caught a lot of eyes recently. Where do the 'Dawgs now stand with the 6-foot-5, 365-pound senior at Creekside in Metro Atlanta?

The "Big Five" topics in this week's show also featured:

-- Another great DawgNation conversation with All-American WR commit Ny Carr. He's made a remarkable turnaround in his life over the past year and is playing the best football of his career.

-- A Gameday in the life of a typical recruit on a big gameday weekend
