Spoke with his father yesterday and got some pretty good incite. We have gained alot of ground with him recently. It's down to LSU, Bama, and Stanford. According to his Dad, Stanford is way too far away. Devall is still high on Bama. He went to an LSU camp when Saban was here a while back and has always wanted to play for him since then. Miles and Devall talked for over an hour the other night and his Dad said Denzel and Miles were laughing the whole time. They were most impressed with Chavis though. His father had a lot of great things to say about JC. His father wants him to choose LSU. He wants to keep him in state and let TOPS pay for his education. He said that we have closed a pretty large gap recently. Just wanted to let u gurus know.

I told his Dad to check out how many LB's Bama signed last year and then look at our class. If he wants early playing time. We have much more need at LB than Bama.

Can you still get TOPS money if you're on an athletic scholarship?

I was on an athletic scholarship and had TOPS. since all school expenses were covered by my scholarship, TOPS would send a check once a semester that i got to keep. not sure if this is still the case.

I had a bunch of scholarships, after everything is paid, you get to pocket the rest.

If tops will pay for the education, then why can't tops eligible athletes play as walk-ons? They're education is pd and they don't count against the number of schollies.

Saban left in the beginning of 2005 so the camp could have been at the latest only in 2004 ( most likely summer since there are no camps during the season). That would put it at least 7-8 years back when he was a 9 or 10 year old!

Are there any football camps at LSU for those who are not yet in middle school?

i could see this working in sports that offered partial scholarships to make up any tuition different

the amount of shite that the LSU football program would get in would be really bad
