Saw on 247 and didn't see here.
Neal is visiting on June 23
Herron listed a top 5 and plans to commit at the end of May
Top 5 in no order LSU, Clemson,Miss St.,Memphis and Tennessee
Thoughts? Neal isn't really anything new. Just locking in a date.
Herron is interesting. We've been his public leader for a while and if he's committing in the next 10 or so days then our chances have to be pretty damn good. Is he a take? I'd think so but curious about others thoughts.

I like Herron and i think he would be a take for sure,he has been on campus.

I think it's us or State for Herron. Neal has said he wants to be a rush end in college and most schools want him at mike.

Herron has been one I have gone back and forth over. He is on the bubble for me; I would wait to take him unless I was blown away by his camp. I say that because we are recruiting so many DEs right now (around 16-18) and I think we have decent or better chances with a lot of them. That being said, I would be happy if he ends up in this class.
He has great size at 6'5" 250 lbs; he can easily put another 25 lbs of muscle on that tall frame and play around 275-280. Watching his film, he reminds me a bit of Tyson Jackson when he played at St. John. He has good closing speed and field vision; he plays aggressively, trying to strip the ball a lot; has a big wingspan; needs to work on learning how to use his hands better to keep blockers at length; tackling needs some refining; I think he has a high ceiling and a lot of potential. Herron is like a bigger Beckwith.
Regarding Neal, I think he is more fundamentally sound; disciplined, smart football player and instincts, tackles well, uses hands well, keeps containment and position, sheds blocks, good vision. However, he does not have the speed or size that Herron does.
Bottom line: both guys are good solid recruits and I would be happy if they were part of the class. That being said, I want guys like Prevot and Williams who are on a higher level IMO.
