"Along with Alabama, the schools I hear from the most are Texas A&M, Arkansas, Notre Dame, and Texas Tech. Nobody is a favorite right now, I'm open to everybody. I'm definitely planning to take my time with my decision. I will make my decision either at an all-star game if I play in one or on National Signing Day. I want to take all my official visits and let the process play out. I'm not in any kind of hurry."
apparently lsu isn't staying in contact with him as much anymore, not sure why he's the best athlete in the state imo

Lsu doesn't recruit anymore. merritt, ce ce, the coaching staff just doesn't believe in going after top athletes.

All Star game decisions now make me cringe. Forever marked.

If we're not going after him, there's surely a reason. Workout warriors don't always translate to the football field.

dude is a great athlete but where will he play? can't put him at running back and wide receiver is deep this year...lsu seems to be passing on a lot of WR talent from in state.

i guess this is due to the numbers game with brossette and likely guice wearing p and g in 2015

You do a pretty bad job of considering the source of information before you rush to shite on the coaching staff.

I agree with this. I don't see us taking both Merritt and little Fournette this year, and by all accounts Lanard is going to be in this class. We don't need two RB/WR tweeners in what looks to be an already crowded RB/WR class.

What makes you say we want him for WR/RB exclusively?

i really don't like to see a kid, this early in the process, say that he is waiting till signing day. its his choice but that is too much of an individual act instead of a team act. no one knows what the coaches are thinking. it could be that we already see better prospects in 2016 and we need to hold down the number of wrs. he is a good talent but will he be able to get carries at rb for us. ????. will he be able to beat out dupre, quinn, johnson, jones, sullivan at wr.. ?????

We don't offer in state kids this early unless we are 100% sure we want them.

Kirk ran (FAT) 10.76 in the 100m last Thursday. This was the first time he run track since eight grade.

i'm not saying we don't want him. it may be a mater of how high a priority. also, maybe we offer him and that keeps him from commiting elsewhere until we see more of him in pads. also, maybe we want him bad and are recruiting him hard. no one knows.
