Wasn't thus guy high on our boards at some point? Looks like he's checking out A&M per Bruce Feldman. No link check out his twitter.

Damn I remember following this one closely and thinking we were going to get him. Any details on why?

Man we wanted him bad when he was deciding. I feel like we've been lucky with several of these transfer bust guys over the past few years.

The jury is still out on Gunner Keil.

That's interesting. Corey Raymond really liked this guy, saw him as a corner early that would slide to safety shortly after.

His group did contact LSU about a possible transfer some time back, but LSU wasn't interested. This is nothing new as a lot of LSU's targets that they just missed on have called seeking a transfer. Their policy has basically been "you turned your back on us and now we're turning our back to you.'

Willis was a reserve for the Bruins the past two seasons. Has made only one start, last season. He played in nine games as a freshman, mostly on special teams. Willis can redshirt this season and will have two years of eligibility remaining.

He's not that good.

7 tackles 1 pass breakup as a freshman
22 tackles 2 pass breakups as a sophomore

No INTs

Wasn't going to start as junior this year, reason for transfer

UCLA DB depth meant he should have played extensively

There were rumors that he was going to switch his commitment over to LSU on NSD, until the local talking heads started talking about it too much, and word got to Mora so he stuck with his commitment. Not sure if true or not.
