Davonn Godchaux apparently wants to enroll in the spring, could this be why the late offer?

The staff wanted to make sure he fit in with their spring plans regarding recruits?

Gerald Willis apparently wants to be a DE, doesn't this basically establish that he wants to play in a 3-4 scheme?

Michael Brockers was adamant he was going to remain a D-End in college. So did Ego Ferguson. A number of 2014 LSU targets that are currently listed as D-Ends would almost certainly get moved inside if they sign with LSU. Chavis/Haley do not seem overly interested in putting "jumbo" D-Ends on the field.

Yes you are correct Willis wants to stay at Def end he's 6'4" 265 lbs all muscle no fat, but his frame can put on more weight, so its completely left up to his body to project where he will play in college. On Davon he doesn't mind moving inside to play the 3 technique or stay at Def end, but they both are must haves for this class, don't let our best Def Lineman In our state get away to one of our SEC opponents, and become All American's, stay here and rep the boot.

Are you one of those Assistant to the Assistant Assistant, Assistant Assistant Assistant Assistant Personnel Director's from Alabama? Nice job throwing their selling point out there.

Aren't DE's in a 3-4 more like DT's in a 4-3?

Chavis never said that big DE's do not fit his scheme. In fact, he says he likes to have bigger players but he would not sacrifice speed and athleticism just to get a bigger guy in the rotation. If Willis can play like a typical LSU DE then he will probably stay at DE. If not, then he will have to move inside. Same with Godchaux.

What the frick? Not at all.

He's 6'3" 247 lbs why would this mean he wants to play in a 3-4?

Not at all. He wants to be a rushing DE. That basically excludes the 3-4

If Willis was interested in a 3-4 defense, his highest interest teams would run them. They do not.

I think it's pretty clear he's going to be a DT. He's slow on film and has plenty of room to grow into a muscular DT. Don't get me wrong, Willis is a beast but I don't see a lot of burst from him off the line at DE. He seems kinda slow to me. Which further proves he'll probably be a DT and a damn good one.

No.. he's in the mold of a Lavar Edwards coming out of HS, IMO.. maybe a little smaller at this point.

Edwards had the ability to cut weight and remain on the outside, or add good weight and move inside. Our staff chose the former and it paid dividends.
