Torrey Bell DE John Curtis HS commits to Mississippi State

He is a guy the staff apparently is watching and has talked to, but if I had to guess, I'm thinking he might be caught in the numbers. There seem to be so many in-state prospects at both DE and LB in the 2012 class, and we just can't sign them all. I think there will be some guys who LSU doesn't offer but who go on to nice college careers elsewhere.

I'm considering Torshiro Davis and Denzell Devall as likely DE's. We have Davis and are hoping on Devall. Other in-state DE candidates are Lathan, McFarland, Singleton (who could grow into a DT), Bell, Obioha and maybe Harris. Plus, I think we're still pursuing Ward out of Mississippi. Bell could eventually get an offer, but it might be tough with the numbers.

he comes from a great HS program

His high school puts out a lot of busts fwiw.

nope, I know nothing but what I read on tsd and here.

pretty much and yeah

I think Joe McKnight played there.

...and was no where near the player his ranking said he would be.

I called that, fwiw.

Anyhow, like he said......JC spits out more busts than they do hits.

LSU landed Dillon Gordon. We'll see how he works out as well.

MSU and Mullen get it, supplement in state talent and come get players LSU doesn't have room for.

Ole Miss did the same at Ole Miss and it served them well

You should hope Davis and Devall sign with LSU in February.

Unless this kid is actually pretty good and just under the radar.

You never know...

I believe Obioha is the next one on the list if LSU were to take another DE in-state.

He checked in at 6'5" 235 and ran a 4.7 forty

He also ran a 4.6 forty last week at our camp

So by tomorrow morning he will be at what? 4.4?

he's like a young Rickson Gracie
