i might even be happy trading him for garrett alone. He could be the most talented MLB recruit chavis has ever worked with.

ETA: never mind. i forgot not getting cam would mean he'd be playing for bama

disagree with some of the posters. I would not take 8 out of 9 and give up cam. cam cannot be replaced in this class. if you told me we would get LF, then I would trade any other 2 players listed for cam. cam and brumfield on the left side would be a DEVASTATING run blocking tandem. with LF behind them that would be incredible. not saying cam is a MUST get but very close. I realize we have other quality lineman.

for ex. if we lost dupre, we still hav noil, blacknall,quinn, williams etc. if we lost brown, we still have white (2013) paris, tolliver (2015).

in other words, we have 5* guys at other position but not at left tackle. let the bashing begin.

So you would take Cam and lose the others. I disagree with that.

as I said, I would take cam and give up any 2 of the others not named LF.

cam is , according to this board, the best ol to come out of la. in at least 10 years. we need.

The note on Cam said it would be close, but ESPN put great significance on the fact that he attended the Bama spring game instead of ours. Take it for what it's worth....

ESPN proves again they have no clue about recruiting. Cam is a close call and 247 still has the edge to LSU 54-46% on Predictions, but to say Bama has the edge because he chose to attend their Spring Game is asinine. Do they realize Cam has been to LSU numerous times since 8th Grade and the coaches are the same people. Consider now that Bama lost their OLine coach and Cam had only met him once prior to the Spring game. Could he have attended the Bama Spring Game to get to know the coaches a little better?.

I still like Cam to LSU in the end. That said, Cam may still end up at bama, but it won't be because he attended their Spring Game.

So if 247 altered their prediction from 54-46 LSU to 51-49 Alabama -- a mere 5 percentage points -- they would have no clue about recruiting either?

Duckie told me to ask you.

WTF does that have to do with what I said? Yeah because ESPN has such a great track record of recruiting coverage excellence. I used 247 to illustrate the fact that it's close. It could go either way but to simply say a prospect's selection of a Spring Game is the reason for a prediction when other variables are present, such as coaching changes versus coaches that a prospect has known for years, is stupid. Maybe thats why you follow....
