Do you think maybe we have a shot since we were the last visit?

Apparently the Barn and the Gumps don't have room for him, so......?

Not quite.

Bama moved on because of grades and took Prince instead. But now Prince is probably going to OSU. So it might be them. But I still doubt it

Auburn has room for 1 OT right now and would only take two if we miss on a lot of guys. Martez Ivey is our top target at OT and until we hear from him I don't see us taking Chidi. So unless our coaches were told by Ivey that he's going to UF, then I see Chidi picking LSU.

I could honestly see this one going any of the three ways

Not on my list for LSU Still think that Weathersby will be the guy. Our boy Jeff Grimes needs to start doing a little better work getting OL for LSU.

This was refuted a lot on here with the only source saying his grades were bad was BOL after it looked like they wouldn't get him. Still don't think we get him.

It's been confirmed elsewhere

I think it's Auburn or LSU. Honestly I hope it's LSU because that likely means we're getting Ivey

I think even AU fans will concede that he was going to Bama if Bama would have accepted his commitment. Prince took Chidi's spot, but Chidi may still have a spot if Prince flips (in less than a week, really?) to aOSU.

That said, the kid will have legit challenges - not impossibilities - in getting qualified. He'd be better of reclassifying to 2016 and he'd likely be the #1 LT in that class and possibly top 5 overall player if he developed properly.

Auburn fan, got a question about Alabama for you. LSU IMO has been undersigning OL. But Alabama has 6 OL signed for 2014 and 6 OL commits for 2015. That seems a tad excessive to me. I am counting Prince who like you said may not be solid...although he committed like 3 days ago. Seems like 12 in 2 years is overkill along the OL. I personally think 8 or 9 is about right.

Was there a question in there?

Legit challenges in getting qualified


Wonder if he will be approved by the NCAA, but disallowed by the SEC, or is that BS just for an LSU Valentine?

wouldn't matter as he wouldn't be an impact guy the first year anyways.
