I have seen that there are one or two posters, who like me, are very curious about Kenyon Green's recruitment. There was some information posted by Sam Spiegs in his "Opening" update.


Kenyon Green, 5-star OL

The one-time LSU verbal has shed weight and looks to have grown a few inches. More importantly, Green played with a nasty streak at right tackle and was the top-performing offensive lineman up until an injury early on in the afternoon.

Green indicated that Alabama, Texas A&M and Oklahoma are courting him the hardest for now, but LSU and Texas remain squarely in the picture. Both programs have new offensive line coaches, and James Cregg for LSU, is making a serious impression on the 5-star lineman. He is in line to make a return to Baton Rouge at some point this spring.



Another top O-lineman at the camp:

Javonne Shepherd, 4-star OL

Shepherd, a top-300 offensive tackle, boasts an impressive frame and some brute strength. He put that on display battling 4-star edge-rusher Nelson Ceaser, one of the most effective defensive end/outside linebackers on hand in the camp.

Shepherd gave an early top group of Alabama, Texas, Texas A&M and Oklahoma, among others, but suggested that LSU is not that far off. In fact, his early relationship with Cregg is having a profound impact on the 6-foot-7, 300-pounder and a visit is a realistic possibility later this spring. LSU’s new offensive line coach and his NFL pedigree is definitely working in the team’s favor with the 2019 linemen.



The article also has updates on:

Grant Gunnell, 4-star QB
Erick Young, 4-star CB
Jamal Morris, 4-star S
Marcus Stripling, 4-star DE
Marcus Banks, 4-star CB
Austin Stogner, 4-star TE
Thomas Gordon, 3-star TE (an LSU legacy)
Arjei Henderson, 5-star WR
Brandon Legendre, 3-star ATH

2020:
Jacobi Bellazin, 4-star WR
Dwight McGlothern, 4-star CB
Zachary Evans, 4-star RB

My friend spoke to his dad, at the last camp he went to. Said he got a bad vibe that the kid really likes bama. hope our new coach can do some work.

Green with Kardell would absolutely be nothing short of spectacular. This objective should be #2 of priorities (with QBs being #1 and DBs #3). Go all out is what I'm saying.

Shepherd is more than good enough, and for an OL is a physical specimen with more upside in both aspects. If we were to get him with Kardell instead of Green, I wouldn't wince, cry, or be sad one little bit. Same objective would be achieved in my mind.

I'm still wondering where both Cregg and Kardell are at as far as playing OT. If we see him spending time there his Sr season we'll have our answer.

Wins and only wins will convince the borderline kids.
Winning will be huge - not just “competing”. If TAMU somehow beats us this season, recruiting in Houston is going to flip and schools s that were honey holes will all of a sudden be pumping TAMU. Saw it happen before.
