Louisiana's Top 63 2012 (247 Sports)

Probably only lose Devall. Not bad. Can't keep em all.

You also said the same thing about Deangelo Benton see how good he turned out

Yup. Seems to be an effort issue...

I know how you like your Patron dirty-style in the white room at the Phoenix.

Those guys are possible for us to lose but it's just as possible we land them all.

Collins is a fight but I think we win out
Davis will visit Texas and Bama but he's not going anywhere
Bourque is rumored to be possibly be rethinking his decision but I think it's just that rumor.Have heard nothing substantial.It all feeds from the fact that he was supposedly told he would be the only rb in the class.If he does go elsewhere it will not be TAM.They have at least 2 rbs in their class with another guy in the class originally recruited as a rb and just offered Tim Wright at rb.If Bourque was that concerned about being the only back in his class then why in the world would he go to TAM who has at least 2 with a 3rd possible and one of those being a 5* type guy in Trey williams.Makes no logical sense.
I still think Phillips is a Tiger.Even if not he's not a huge loss.I like Louis,Feist and Davis more.
Devall is a lost cause in my view.Can't win them all.Our coaches tried and that's all we can ask.

havent seen you posting for a while...any thoughts on our recruiting thus far? how do we finish, any surprises?

lsufanva..your post gives me some comfort...hopefully we get devall too

not that I think he should be top 25, but a list of the top 50 that does not include Damon Gladney from Haughton is pretty bad

11.Deion Jones 89 3* NEB

Have you seen "Debo's" footage on Rivals? It's spectacular.

He's a heat-seeking missle. Every tackle seems to be behind the line, and he's doing it from the LB position (not DE like most of our LB prospects). Dude recognizes the ball carrier, fills the gap with speed and de-cleats them. Kid looks instinctive, quickly changes direction, & always makes the tackle, usually behind the line.

Add in the fact that he just turned 17 which means he'll still be 17 starting his frosh semester in college, with room to put on muscle.

He's 6-2, 210 LB with 4.4 speed according to Rivals, but yet they have him as a 2*, while 247 & ESPN have him as a 3*. Scout is the only one to list him as a 4*, which looks the most accurate to me, albeit I have only seen him on highlight reels.

Highlights don't tell the whole story (see Jeff Luc), so what am I missing that has caused most coaches & scouts to slow-play him? And why did we let Pelini get him?

Here's one soph highlight (as a 15 year old) at Jesuit on You Tube, and it looks similar to the multiple Rivals highlights as a junior & senior: LINK

I want Debo Jones man.

I have a buddy that is an avid Cornhusker fan. He's bummed Jones is slipping through their hands. He blames it on the faltering Nebraska D this season.
