He did an interview via podcast.

Some cliffs:

LSU still leads, UGA is 2nd, Auburn 3rd, then Bama

Changed his commitment date from All American game to before he starts his senior season

Plans on visiting LSU after The Opening next month

Checked in at UGA recently at 6-3, 218 lbs

He's somewhat open to playing a position other than RB

Communication with staff is important to him, one of the reasons LSU leads

I think he ends up at Bama. But, this is just opinion based on a hunch. Especially now that he is open to other positions.

He's always been accepting of other positions, even mentioned he wanted to play receiver if he grows any taller a few months back

What's gives you that hunch to make you say he goes to Bama? Something he's said? Something you've heard?

Bama is gonna be up their for him because they're Bama and it's his backyard school, but that doesn't mean he is gonna go there. LSU is still tops for him because he really wants to play RB above all, and he knows he can start or play right away at LSU as opposed to Bama. LSU just needs to keep communicating regularly and hope he stays at 6'3.

He's also at the richest school in bham that's full of absurdly weathly alumni. Could come into play..

I think we lead but I think his comments about being open to being recruited as an athlete along with his visit to Bama and what I mentioned above is reason to be cautious

him just now being open to any position and being called an 'athlete'. Someone at Alabama is talking to him and have helped changed him to be a little more open minded with his collegiate position.

We will have to battle Alabama for an Alabama guy they truly want and it's been a while since we've been successful on that front.

I think we lead right now, but there's a long way to go. If he truly calls Alabamas bluff and they start saying some things he wants to hear, you'll start hearing more and more abotu them.

Personally I believe LSU has a bigger lead than he's letting on. Anyone that has a Bama offer would be interested in them especially if they're from Alabama. Some thought Auburn would be the school to ultimately land him, but he's most comfortable at LSU and it's the staff, including HC, he communicates with the most.

I know he will sit behind Najee Harris & I haven't seen Alabama's Depth Chart.

That's my thing. You have an opportunity to come to LSU and be in the mix day one.

Don't know why he thinks he cant play running back if taller. Brandon Jacobs was 6-5. And above all he is easily smarter.

Tall running backs can be successful. Eddie George won a Heisman and he's like 6'3"-6'4".

Again, not the case. He's been open to positions for a while now, not "just now".
