Then how is he even eligible to play high school football?

Would like to see more video of lateral speed and hips

From video I watched, Jones is a running back and potentially a special one

Sheppard wasnt big nor was he a mlb when he came to LSU. Actually, people scoffed at the offer and said he was too small when he initially made the switch inside.

There's a rule that allows coaches to play a small amount of ineligible players.

aren't magnet schools supposed to be some of the better public schools?

He's got too many big offers to be such a long shot at qualifying.

oh well, either way I still think he's got too many big offers to be sporting a sub-2.0 GPA

I have a couple of guys I'd like to see offered if we have room or miss on the OOS targets.

Ronald Lewis- not sure we're ever going to have a spot for him unless we just choose to take the best athlete available at some point. He's more of a wr to me and I just don't see him fitting in the class there. I feel Shelby Christy would get offered before him if we wanted another wr.

Carlton Perkins-at S. I really like this kid and think he's going to be a steal for someone. Needs to add some size but I think he can and is a good athlete that can definitely fit at S. Problem is that we may land a couple of OOS kids and shut him out.

Darian Claiborne-the kid is just a stud LB. I think he's better than some of the LBs we took last year. Also it's very likely that if we don't take him that we're going to have to play against him annually.(TAM)

Xavier Woods-Best pure CB in the state imo. I don't think we'll have room though. Jefferson and the OOS kids will likely fill us up at CB.

Shaan Washington-the sleeper. Kid has a great frame and is a good athlete with nice speed. Probably grows to LB but has the athletic ability to stick at S imo.

In all honesty I think we might be done with instate offers. As long as we land the OOS kids on the board currently then that's fine. If we're going to reach then I'd prefer to reach for the instate kids.

Just thinking about numbers. Let's say we miss on beckwith, maybe we supplement at LB with Claiborne.
