re: James Smith (NOLA.com) on Jordy Hultberg show. Update on current LSU targets.

I know a lot of people have said we will likely only take four receivers. I honestly think we take five. The three home state guys, along with Blacknall and Upchurch. First reason being, I can see Beckham,Landry, and Leslie, leaving after this year with decent production(despite possibly not going first round). As seniors we have Boone and Wright. That would be a productive five gone right there. Second reason is you don't turn away a 6'3 200 pound talent with speed like Blacknall, and Upchurch is talented as well. They may take five, they may not, but I could definately see it for those reasons.

Says he's a little short to play guard or tackle plus being short and stubby helps against 3-4 nose tackles that are built like tree stumps.

He's a legitimate 6'4". Not hardly short and stubby. And he's only 16 yrs old. He will be about 6'6" once he's finished growing (which is my height). And if they use him as a center, then so be it. But, it won't be because he's too short to play guard or tackle! Some of the listed heights and weights on various sites are not updated often and are from some time ago. As of today he's 6'4" 285 lbs.
