I could be wrong, but I don't think Willis leaves the west coast. I think we get Williams, Beckwith, and Gilmore with a 50/50 shot for RSJ. That's as good as it can get at this point. Plus, I think we drop stokes at TE and pick up skinner in the end. We'll make room for RSJ if he wants to come

Truthpolice, it has to do with projecting his body and his style of play. He has the frame to get to 290+ and his game is much more centered on strength than anything else. He moves well also but that would be the case inside as well. I think it will likely come down to where his body takes him. If he stays 270 or so then we get a big Edwards type DE and if he gets up to 285-290 then we get another DT. Win win.

Willis has an offer from USC but as of now they're full(1 spot that they know is filled). Lots of movement being rumored by them but as of yet it hasn't happened. I still don't that puts Willis into their plans because of Goodman and McQuay but it could. I expect him to be at LSU as well. Don't really see a good option out west outside of USC. He's not going to Oregon. One of the AZ schools is possible and maybe UCLA but I don't consider them good options. He's lived all across the country so he's not tied in to the west coast. I just don't see why so many people feel he's locked into staying out there. All of his visits scheduled are east of Arizona

Both Willis and Gilmore will be coming in for the Alabama game. Gilmore will be deciding two days later between us and Florida, who I think he is visiting this weekend or next.

Not sure when Willis will decide, but anything is possible after that game

Gilmore is ours, done deal. Willis is a toss up since he never really says much. I think ucla needs to win 8 games and have a decent showing against usc or else we will get willis. he loves pp7 and I continue to believe mills starting and playing well will help us with 2014 and 2013 dbs.

The actually part is because I rarely agree with anything, anyone from Rivals says. It caught me off guard a little.


Williams is high on LSU. Don't believe everythiing these kids say to recruiting sites. They are very savvy with the media these days.

per Mike Farrell, SI:
"I know Baton Rouge (La.) University Lab defensive end Tim Williams recently said that Miami has a small lead over Florida State, Alabama and LSU right now, but if he ends up playing for anyone aside from the Tigers I would be stunned. He plans on being at every home game for LSU this season".

Rettig is a lock
Brazil, despite taking visits, is a lock
Herron is a lock
Leslie, while stranger things have happened, is nearly a lock…

but you are correct with this:

unbelievable finish for LSU

i'd love to add Willis too, but i know that's just greedy….

I don't think we get four of the five (Willis added). I think we probably end up with 3. And my best guess is Willis is not coming to LSU. Hope I am wrong.

at this point, i'm not projecting him to LSU, which is why it was an opinion based comment, not a prediction….
