re: Several big-time in-state 2019 recruits were in hand for yesterday’s first practice

Well, well, well, this was very interesting information from that article.



Two notable prospects that were not spotted at LSU on Sunday were 4-star New Orleans cornerback Devin Bush and 4-star Destrehan running back John Emery Jr.

Bush released a list of five finalists earlier in the week and sources close to the elite corner informed SEC Country that he and his family made an unofficial visit to campus on Friday. Members of the Edna Karr coaching staff were on the sidelines for the practice, taking a look at alums Andre Anthony and Racey McMath.

Emery has made unofficial visits to Oklahoma, Auburn and Michigan, with the latter two coinciding with both of LSU’s junior day functions. Sources close to the 4-star running back expect him on campus for some spring practices.

One source indicated that out-of-state schools are tabbing the Tigers as the team to beat, which makes a return visit to Baton Rouge in the near future all the more likely. Don’t expect a decision soon, but Emery is planning to trim his impressive offer list down to five ahead of his senior season.
