Aranda is one of the best LB coaches (and obviously DCs) in the county. Players should want to come here.

I know Deng committed but did Dean? We have the last visit so I will hold out hope



I have a very hard time believing we're in Dean's Top 2 right now. That being said, stranger things have happened with late visits.

Would be an epic pull by Aranda and co. if they somehow got Dean in the class. We'd be so set at LB for a while.

Dude is a stud with a very high motor. I’m all for it and adds very good depth plus it’ll allow Kendall time to get back into shape and not have to rush his health to get onto the field. And being a former qb he’ll be able to read offenses very well

Juco or Grad transfer route is a great way too fill immediate needs and add depth i.e. Isiah Buggs, Savion Smith, Joe Burrow. Obvious not a class filling technique but its the future.

Really nice instincts. Understands blocking schemes and where to find a gap in protection.

Put him and burrow in the backfield with a competent TE or two and you could obliterate a lot of defenses. I've always thought we goofed not doing that with narcisse. He wasn't astounding... But he could have worked in that system.

I'm pretty sure they told Narcisse they would have special packages for him so he would get playing time this season and it wasn't enough for him. Not blaming him, but he chose to take his chances the JUCO route.

For a guy that is 235, I would say he has Elite footwork and speed. Looks like he's floating on the field.

if we're going to push for linebacker who is new to the position then Christian Harris would have been a great target.

Viramontes was not part of the plan.

The staff want another lb and Viramontes is Plan E.

As long as he still visits the last weekend before the signing period, I'll believe we have a shot.

Huh? Outside of Dean and maybe Deng, who is ahead of him on the linebacker board?

Dude's JUCO highlights look like a lot of guy's high school highlights. I'm in.

Ill take Arandas opinion over yours.

great motor, moves quick when recognizing the run and packs a wallop.

Shannon Terry CB'd N. Dean to Bama. Looks like that recruitment is over.

I hope LSU finishes strong, but it would not surprise me to see LSU limp into signing day similar to last year. It's probably too soon to say for sure, but a pattern may be developing where O gets his guys to commit early or they just go elsewhere.

Chaisson was a big late add 2 years ago, but not many otherwise that I can recall.

D. Lee may end up being the highest rated late add to this class.

I'm not really sure what you're talking about.

2 Years ago, we flipped Phillips in late January and got Chaisson and Harris on signing day.

Last year we got Chase on the second signing day and Joseph in January. As for the first signing period, we got Marshall on the last day of the period and we flipped Livingston in December. We also got Cole Tracy right before, or during, the December signing period.

How is this different from any other years where the majority of a class is committed with only a handful of spots left as we head into the signing period?

Just in case anyone missed it, his motor is good.

That Guy hits with a mean streak. Maybe he has father issues. He reminds me of the water boy.
