Anyone hear anything new on this guy? I know he didn't have a Committable offer but I haven't hear of him going anywhere else. Just curious to see what happens with him.

I don't think LSU should take a RB in this class and have all the marbles in for Fournette next year.

The last thing I have heard is that he will coming to the July camp. Obviously the coaches are going to evaluate him after his season ending knee injury of last year. I think it is very risky signing a grand total of 1 RB in 2 years. Of course as you know, they signed only Jeremy Hill in the 2012 class. I hope they can get Taylor in this class simply due to that. But for sure, IF the knee is still questionable at the LSU camp, it wouldn't be worth it then. IF I remember right, he hurt it fairly early in the season so it has been almost a year now.

I asked this same question a while back, and the answer was that he had to camp before his offer would be good, and that he most likely was being recruited as an ATH and not a RB.

I haven't heard much concerning whether or not he made it to camp, or if he cooled on us after getting egg on his face, and we've certainly filled a few spots since then. He looks like a great safety prospect to me, but we may be looking at bigger fish to finish with.

It looks like the door is closing for him.

We are in the mix for a lot of big names, especially DBs and DL. I think the coaches like him but it is coming down to a pure numbers game right now. Because we just lost three young DBs (Vinson, Jenkins, Gibson) and two experienced upperclassmen (Claiborne, Brooks), coupled with the fact that Reid will most likely be in his last year, more emphasis has now been placed on recruiting the secondary.

So, IMO the numbers are playing just as large a role as his knee. Still, there is a chance for him...albeit a small one.
