He'd be a good one to have and spoke highly of LSU.

We will see but I see him staying home in my opinion.

I don't think he's visited LSU, WVU, or Baylor, so...

yes, he has offers from LSU, Michigan, MSU, WVU, Nebraska, Notre Dame and Wisconsin.

“They had been sending me tons of mail, but I never really thought they would show interest in me beyond that,” said Devin Gardner. “When I opened up the letter, it was an offer from coach [Les] Miles. It felt really good, because LSU is a team that I follow and and really like. I am ready to get to know more about them, for sure.”

Well, if he doesn't commit to LSU, why the frick even commit if he says he is ready to get to know mor about them?

He hasn't visited so I suspect that he won't be coming here.

Sorry, the quote I posted was from a scout article from Feb 13th.

I'd say 99% chance he commits to Michigan.

I agree that LSU has too much talent at QB for Gardner to commit to the Tigers.

Congrats to Michigan though. Seems like a good player and it's not exactly a deep year for quarterbacks IMO. Last year was sick, the year prior was horrific, and this year seems to be somewhere in between.

RedGreene, whats Tom Beaver saying about the percentage of commitment to Michigan...55%? The early commit makes one wonder that indeed it is Michigan all the way.

All 3 could play in the NFL. Not saying they will, but they definitely could.

No we really wont but if we do land a QB it will probably be maybe 3 star from LA, nobody big though

Threet is a joke. Their quarterback roster is a joke. Forcier is a bit of an unknown IMO. Gimmick offense, I think he was homeschooled, not a glaring physical specimen, strange recruitment, and played for some total shite school in Cali where he was able to amass big numbers against mediocre comp.
