Doing any recruiting or TAF tour only? I want to sign atleast one big in this class but I also think we have a good shot of landing some really good players in the 2013 class and want to have scholarships available for that.

Bubba, I think you've got to put Pollard on the list. At least as a long shot.

Clearly they're working him, and the fact that he didn't want to commit this week means his situation has changed.

My guy at LSU says he and Odoh are the two guys Jones wants to use scholarships on this year (I assume they'll have a Plan B if they can't get those two, but they're Plan A right now). Whether Jones gets what he wants or not I don't know, but Pollard's on their wish list.

I almost never removed him, just in case, but I went ahead and took him off in February.

If he doesn't commit in the next few days, I'll put him back on.

Odoh and Pollard would be sweet.

I still think you take one more guy, particularly if you can get some kid who's a banger with a little skill and is willing to come one a one-year deal.

But yeah. You get Odoh and Pollard and you now have a legitimate 8-9 guys you can put out there and win with. And if Courtney can beef up and be the banger off the bench for a few minutes a game (which is a real stretch, I agree), you might not be terrible in the post sliding Pollard to the 4 most of the time when O'Bryant or Odoh comes out.

I would be happy to get one of the two. Both seems like a longshot. If this staff pulled both, they deserve an instant raise.

Also, former LSU target Sheldon Jeter of Pittsburgh committed to Vanderbilt last night. Had offers from Wisconsin, South Carolina, Kansas State and Penn State.

You get Ralston info all the way down in the Berry?

If you've got something, spill it!

Figured there would be some attrition. Not really surprising.

Don't be surprised if there are as many as three of 'em leaving.

I've heard similar, but what would they be waiting for? The longer they wait, the fewer opportunities, as scholarships get filled.

Why would players leave? To much competition?
