I didn't know if this article was relevant to our board because it's not LSU specific. I thought that it was funny though, how they said that they had two BIG quarterbacks coming to visit and only named one.

For some reason it's still concerning to me that he's visiting another school on his own family's dime right before he's scheduled to announce. Hopefully, he ends up in PnG. Would be great to have him to take over the leadership role in this class. It would be huge.

That's not the whole article. What you linked has another link and it says "To keep reading visit":
AL.com

Auburn is preparing for one of the biggest recruiting weeks of the Gus Malzahn era so far as the Tigers will welcome two of the nation's top quarterback prospects to campus for unofficial visits.

With 9 commitments, the Tigers' 2014 recruiting class currently ranks No. 24 and 23 in the nation by Rivals.com and 247Sports, respectively, but that ranking could soon jump sharply if the Tigers land an elite quarterback prospect like Bossier City, Louisiana star Brandon Harris. The four-star signal caller, rated the nation's No. 1 dual-threat quarterback by 247Sports, confirmed on Twitter on Sunday that he'll take his long-awaited final visit this week to Auburn before announcing his college choice on July 18

Harris, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound athlete, has narrowed his choices down to Auburn, Ohio State and the home-state LSU Tigers. Harris told AL.com earlier this summer that he has developed a strong relationship with Auburn offensive coordinator Rhett Lashlee, who sees him as the perfect prototypical quarterback for the Malzahn system.

"I really get along so well with Coach Malzahn and Coach Lashlee," Harris said. "It's been great getting to know them and I think we agree on a lot of things, even outside of football. Coach Lashlee likes to call me 'Mini Cam' which makes me laugh. I'm obviously not as big as Cam but I do pride myself on my arm strength and my ability to make plays with my feet and I love Coach Malzahn's offense."

Soon after Harris wraps up his visit to the plains, Auburn will welcome one of the fastest-rising prospects in the nation on campus in Hollywood, Florida star Sean White. The 6-foot-2, 204-pound quarterback has been under the radar so far in the 2014 recruiting cycle but stunned analysts last week with his performance at the Elite 11 quarterback camp, where he took home MVP honors beating out many of the nation's top-rated signal callers.

White plans to visit on either Thursday or Friday and should he land an offer from Malzahn and his staff, it could be a game-changer in his recruitment.

"If they offer, I'd take a week or two to talk to other schools and then figure things out," White told Auburn Undercover. "Auburn obviously is a great place. They play in the SEC and have a great fan base. It would be an honor."

If anything that you should make you feel more confident that he's going to commit to LSU next week. Given he's never been to Auburn, would he really commit there the week after visiting them for the first time? Nah.

Also, he's already said he'll be at LSU's July camp which starts at the end of next week. Do you think he'd come to camp right after committing to AU? Nah.

Harris will be a Tiger. :cantwait:

I'm with yall. His visit would have to be outstanding for him to not commit to LSU next week. We'll just settle with White, which I'm cool with. I think both will be ballers

How confident are y'all in landing him? I haven't seen too much on his recruitment. Who else is he considering?
