QB

LINK ]Cooper Bateman will make his first OOS unofficial visit to LSU. Bateman doesn't know a lot about LSU but recognizes the winning tradition.

quote:

"Their reputation speaks for itself," Bateman said


On leaving the state:

quote:

"Getting out of state has always kind of been my dream,"






Cooper Bateman Sophomore Highlights


Cooper Bateman Arm Strength

Bateman holds over 24 overs with Utah being his leader at the moment.





Florida QB LINK ]Cord Sandberg recently picked up an LSU offer.



Cord Sandberg Highlights

Sandberg also has offers Arizona, Auburn, Clemson, Baylor, Ole Miss, Mississippi State, Iowa State, Texas Tech and West Virginia.

Sandberg's Junior Stats:2,187 yards and 19 touchdowns and ran for 813 yards and 10 touchdowns. His team Manatee won the Class 7A state title.





Alabama QB LINK ]Jeremy Johnson will visit LSU for the 2nd time.

quote:

"They're my number two right now," he said. "I have pretty high interest in them too."


Looks like Auburn is the team to beat at the moment with Johnson.

Johnson's junior stats more than 2,700 yards and 26 touchdowns. He runs only when he needs to and is a pass first QB.




Jeremy Johnson Highlights

Jeremy Johnson 7-7 Highlights



TX QB LINK ]J.T. Barrett is still the #1 QB I hope LSU can take in this class. The competition he has faced throughout High School are some of the best in Texas. At this point it looks like Ohio State is recruiting Barrett very hard.



On leaving the state:
quote:

"It's not a factor," he said. "I feel that wherever that place may be that I need to go play college football,


Barrett is coming off an awesome junior season where he both rushed and passed for over 1,500 yards and account for 21 touchdowns.

He currently holds offers from Texas Tech, Nebraska, Baylor, North Texas, Ohio State, LSU, Arizona, Ole Miss, Arizona, Kansas State and Illinois.

J.T. Barrett Junior Highlights





DE

LINK ]Torrodney Prevot is LSU's for the taking! He is stil blowing up like crazy and he killed it at the Nike Combine in Dallas. Word is that the Texas coaching staff isn't returning his phone calls. It's looking like LSU vs ATM at the moment.





Torrodney Prevot Article

Torrodney Prevot Highlights


Doesn't look like Prevot will make the Texas spring game and is for sure coming to Baton Rouge!



LINK ]Tim Williams stock continues to rise receiving a new offer from Arkansas. Alabama is said to be the biggest competition per his teammates.





The new favorite for DE has to be Greg Gilmore. He came out clearly and said LSU was his #1 after he was offered and now its just a waiting game.




Greg Gilmore Highlights
For Gilmore's short list it's LSU, Florida, Clemson and Ole Miss.

Gilmore's Junior Stats: 79 tackles, five forced fumbles, two fumble recoveries, two sacks and one safety





LINK ]Vincent Taylor

San Antonio Madison DL Vincent Taylor told me Texas coaches visiting his school April 14. If offered, he will commit




Vincent Taylor Highlights

Not sure if LSU is really after Taylor that hard though he had a monster junior year with 150 tackles and 14 sacks.




DT

I am going to go ahead and say that LINK ]Justin Manning is going to end up at Oklahoma just like his older brother Demarcus Granger. Though Demarcus almost signed with LSU there is a good chance LSU can snag him.



Justin Manning Highlights




S

LSU recently offered Florida S LINK ]Vernon Hargreaves III



Vernon Hargreaves III Highlights

His father works as Special Teams Coordinator along with Defensive Ends Coach at USF. Needless to say he more than likely won't leave the state.




S

Arizona S LINK ]Priest WIllis still has LSU high on his list but he may be a package deal with teammate LINK ]Kenny Lacy



Priest Willis Highlights


Really would like to see Corey Raymond traveling around nationally for these big time prospects interested in LSU.




Kenny Lacy Highlights




I will add as the day goes on

Hargreaves is also the teammate of Chase Litton, top 2014 QB that LSU just offered.

Hargreaves isn't leaving the state unless dad does which isn't likely. If Stoops leaves FSU, they'll likely hire hid dad and that will push them over the edge. At the moment everyone assumes he is going to USF but people I trust say UF is the leader and pretty big. Big time talent.

Great job with the tidbits. I hope we push for Bateman this weekend. If not then I don't see the point in bringing him in. We will not get another shot.

Johnson has us #2 to Auburn and always will. One reason I don't get why we would make him the top target. Even if he commited, if Auburn came calling, he'd leave us at the alter. Auburn isn't even trying to get him right now and still lead. That's all I need to know. Move the frick on and press the better options talent and reality wise like Barrett, Bateman and Mitch. Johnson is a bust waiting to happen imo.

Good updates, but I think that you are jumping the gun on both Gilmore and Prevot

lsufanva, I'm surprised at you. No mention of Kincade in that list right there even after the great showing he had this weekend. I thought he was one of your boys?

It's being reported from 247. LINK

You have to love this comment under the article from a Texas fan.

quote:

If this kid doesn't have UT on his top list cause the coaches haven't gotten in contact with him lately, it's pretty lame. IMO a UT offer is prestigious as opposed to LSU and A&M offering 100 plus kids each so far. I wouldn't get the notion that UT is disinterested in me after a week or two of no contact, especially when some of the rules don't allow it.

That's exactly where I lost it too

I guess two years of close to .500 football still makes you prestigious

Yeah, I wouldn't advise trying it though since not everyone can pull it off.

Not exactly sure about the mixup but It seems that coaches cannot initiate communication during this quiet period. Torrodney supposedly spoke to Coach Giles today and will still attempt to make it to our spring game this weekend.
