A little bit of good news on an otherwise crappy Monday.

It's only been confirmed by one side, but Rashan Gary will apparently be back on campus this week with his mother. Also expect Shavar Manuel on campus with his auntie soon. Some very good news could follow soon after. We also offered Brandon Burton out of Junipero Serra as a safety to go along with his 5 star teammate Oluwelu Betiku. Burton is ranked as the No. 131 overall recruit in the 247 Composite. He performed very well at the Opening. Both are very interested and have a previous connection with Coach O. They'll be very tough pulls, but Orgeron has a ton of pull and respect at Serra that could help to counter the heavy USCw influence at the school. Take it all FWIW. Just figured this board needed a dose of positivity after Moses' decommitment.

Awesome news!! OLB Sewo on campus today, DE Shavar coming back, DT Rashan coming back, DE Betiku coming on campus... the front 7 is looking nice for '16 and BPT thinks DT Lawerence & OLB Divinity are on board.
This has been an interesting week for '17 but Great week for '16

I wouldn't pencil in Lawrence yet. We're in a much better position then we were before his visit, but it'll still be a battle to keep him in state. Divinity is much more clear. We should feel good about him.

That's big time news. Sounds like someone very influential is spreading the news on Ed Orgeron.

Bruce Jordan Swilling, Jaden Hunter, Josh Clarke, Justin Foster, Drew Singelton, and Thomas Johnston at LB. Toniel Carter, Clyde Edwards Helarie, and Cam Akers at RB. Let me add that it would be a shock if Dylan went anywhere other then LSU. I think most people thought he'd open his recruitment in some way at one point. We'll see just how much he enjoys the process over the next two years. He strikes me as a Fournette type kid, and LF absolutely hated the recruiting process. The recruitment of a solidly committed kid versus an "open" kid is very different.

Yeah, but didn't LF almost followed Saban?

He came back to his senses at the last minute but apparently this could have gone badly for LSU based on what I read after the fact on 24/7.

Highly coveted athletes always get highly pressured...

At the end of the day, they have to sort it out.

No. Fournette was never going anywhere but LSU. All that last minute Texas shite was a fake rumor started by someone at the UA game.

Nof in the same way if they're committed vs open.

On Deontay Anderson, he was supposed to visit last Monday but didn't make it. Hopefully we can get him on campus soon.

Between you and BPT I am terribly excited about the 2016 finish.

Many big name recruits are out there as possibilities. With your best educated guess, would you mind giving us the names of how the 2016 class finishes.

shite man I'm fired up after reading that. If we can pluck at least one of those on the DL, I'd be hugely satisfied.

So far

DE Logan
DE Roddy
DT Alexander

I say we need 4 more guys on the line with at least 3 being DTs. Blacklock, Davis, Lawrence, Gary, Oliver, and Taylor are on the 'Most Wanted' list ATM for DT.

LB looks great so far with 3 commits adding 2 of Divinity, McCulloch, Joyner, Davis, and possibly RB/LB White, will wrap it up nicely.

6 of the last 8 should be in the front 7.

If we pull in 1 that is great. We pull in more than 1 and college football is fricked.

Is Gary the silent that Jimmy detail said needed his mom to be in town to announce?

Eta: Nevermind... That's a '17 prospect.

I doubt it is Gary. His mom definitely will play a huge part in his recruitment, so getting her on campus is a must. I think Jimmy may be talking about Shavar Manual and his aunt. Manual is being raised by his aunt and uncle.
