Seeing as how there is a good chance that Dexter Blackmon will be the DT recruit in this class (although I'm not discounting the chance of Brandon Jackson completely) it would be nice if he were eligible. I first heard that he was very close to being eligible and that it was only a matter of time. More recently, I have heard that he has a ways to go and the chances are not looking good.

Anyone know about his grades?

I have heard it's a concern

Quiet frankly if we don't get a surprise, I am ready to call the DL class a complete failure.

I don't know what the heck happened, but we lost Hardick, and Marsh, missed on Copeland, Smith, Ego, and now this Blackmon kid may not qualify, and is a diamond in the rough (hope) type of recruit as it is.. noone offered him but us

I love LSU...and support the coaches, but I give them an F...on this position of great need thus far.

I am ticked off

From what I've seen of Brandon Jackson this year, I believe he will be a DT at LSU.

Certainly makes last year's great haul of Brockers, Davenport, Logan, Downs, and Montgomery much bigger. And hold the "they didn't even make the two deep" crap. Freshman D-lineman that come in and contribute their frosh year are rare at LSU, and we had one last class.

I think our coaches made the right play trying to get who they could OOS since the very few DL prospects in Louisiana remained true to LSU. But let's be very thankful for next year's in-state potential.

You have to imagine that people who lose their cool about losing commits aren't our coaches THANK GAWD.

And this is a kid that wasn't highly recruited to start out with, in fact, many were wondering why he got an offer to begin with. I do feel comfortable with him being offered however, since he was at the LSU camp. Don't think that he would have been offered if he didn't show Miles something at that camp. Otherwise, I'd be scratching my head.
