re: Expect some Decommits

Rosenthal will be on the OL for LSU, with certainty. I know there is a faction on this board that doesn't care for Jimmy Deets, but the guy is a stellar talent evaluator and he has Rosenthal rated much higher on offense than defense. And he's not alone. Alabama wants him badly on their offensive line as well.

I've been expecting a few decommits myself before the final push really heats up. Hopefully that means there really are some big name silent commits, and we have some strong feelings about other prospects who are still highly contested.

I said it a million times Curry is going to be one of the best recruits in this class yall soooo sleep

It would seem that his measurables say OT and that's what a lot of posters want and believe. But hasn't it been said often on here that he wants to play DE? In fact, wasn't it said that one reason he eliminated Alabama was that they insisted on OT? So, if that's what he wants, then it would seem likely he would start at DE and not move unless/until he sees for himself that he would be better off on the other side.

For whatever it's worth, I think he would be a better fit at OT and better off there as well. Those are premium positions of need and through tickets to the NFL; DE not as much.

There is a certain amount of waxing and waning going on. Overall, I think tackle is going to be your best "guaranteed" pay position after QB, very close with elite pass rushers.

But I was surprised to see how many LBs and WRs are at the very top of the non-QB salary list the past couple of seasons - considering how undervalued those players are from a rank-and-file/depth standpoint.

Very delicate matter. So some hints are being made. All part of the process.

offer them grey shirts

Saban does it all the time

Washington
Jenkins WR
Moore

Those are the names

As people have said earlier in this thread, this is the nature of the business now. It absolutely sucks to have to tell kids to look elsewhere, but with the early signing periods, and the 25 max you can sign, you're going to be getting used to this. This is the first time they're using the early signing period, so they're not going to necessarily run this perfectly. This may piss the coaches and players off, but it's something that happens sometimes.

In addition, I do think either Hines or Rosenthal need to be an OL for LSU, maybe both.

Jaray is a stud. Shame on you clowns wanting him out of this class.

Word.

I agree. If you go back and look at the 2016 class Devin White is listed as a RB. Just saying........

Way it works. Sorry, but with a 'hard cap' of 25, we have way too MANY top prospects out there that have a very realistic change of being Tigers (pick 5-7) - Surtain, Marshall, Joseph, Chase, Rogers, Joiner, Cook, Watkins, Foster, Fox, etc.
