2014 Class - Commit with most upside

Quinn is in. the mighty quinn will win.

Chi and Quinn are actually really polished for how young they are. I don't think looking at those guys you'd say, "with a lot of work, they'll be good." They're already pretty damn good.

As far as true "upside" is concerned, I'd say Sione.
He comes in as a 3* guy. Not a lot of buzz surrounding his individual play. But the guy has good feet, a nice frame and a nose for the ball.

If he can put on 15-20 lbs, he could be a great pass rusher.

Jacory Washington gets overlooked, he could be the best TE in the country before he leaves LSU

Cameron Gamble baby!

Harris will win the heisman as a RS Sophomore.

He'll have 3rd year Washington, Dupre, and Quinn. Fournette, Brossette, Guice (possibly) and Williams all 2 or 3rd year in the backfield. Almost everybody on the OL will have had a year's worth of starting experience.

Just thinking about it is crazy. If we can develop continuously on defense then this haul that we got this year and last year, will be at it's peak in 2016. Expect 2015-2017 as playoff years.

It's all in how you define "upside."

It's kind of inherently messy when talking about HS to college players.

For example, Leonard Fournette has comparatively little "upside" when it comes to actual production on the field. There's very little chance he posts the numbers he did in HS at college or the NFL.

Now, can Leonard Fournette get better? I think so.

Now, Malachi Dupre, he's got a ton of upside production wise, since he was in such a run-oriented attack. His HS production was modest, but his physical package is elite and should result in major numbers in a more passing friendly environment.

But I'm gonna go with Davon Godchaux. Godchaux is built like a brahma bull. Seriously, he looks like a man:



He's so naturally thickly built. And he's explosive. I'm hoping he doesn't lose much from the knee injury, because I think this guy can be an All-American candidate at DT if healthy.

Easily the kicker. His name is Gamble

As far as UPSIDE, I really like J. Washington... To me, he looks and plays alot like Mike Evans from TexAM. IF he actually plays like Evans or Jimmy Grahamish I hope CAM adjusts our TE play to more of a split out TE.

As for immediate IMPACT player from an incoming Freshman, I think we're THIN at Guard and WR... So I see Brum or Clapp making an Impact and J. Wash, Quinn, or Dupree at WR. Yes, I said Wash at WR even though I know he is listed at TE.

Obviously, this will all change after SPRING when guys go down or when one of these guys really shows out.

Geaux Tigers!

Upside, implies potential over current status to me.

To that end, I looked at the lower end of the 4-star and 3-star recruits.

LMFAO, Battle, Gage and Alexander leap out here, as the number of other, more highly regarded players we have at those positions make these players get lost in the shuffle, IMHO.

Out of those, I really think Battle is going to turn some heads. Could be that next great nickel we've been looking for.

Valentine and Godchaux IMO... especially Godchaux.

Godchaux has DT size with DE athleticism. And already is built like an SEC DL. If he can come back full strength... he will be a MONSTER.

Valentine is just a freak. That big and freakishly quick off the ball.

If we can use him right... Upchurch could be a monster as well.

And I expect Dupre to be great for us. Best WR prospect to come out since AJ Green / Julio Jones year IMO.
