I feel less confident as that list goes down, but confident nonetheless


IMO, the oline and dline kids are paramount to the success of this class and our future. we get the three kids from florida/texas and I'm a happy camper. doesn't mean I don't want Young and Dupre any less....I just covet the big nasty's who do the heavy lifting and either make it happen or keep it from happening. like your confidence.

we do need some trench help but we aren't as bare as most think. I think the Grimes hire is a home-run bc we have one of the best offensive line recruiters in the country now, particularly for next year

i think we need young as much as we need anyone else. he and dupre are MUST gets in my mind. everything and everyone else is lagniappe - in a sense that they are vitally important but may not be counted on as immediately as those two.

I think we finish with:


Dupre (feel most confident about)
Valentine
Kelly
Gage
Canty

I'll throw Porter in there as well since a lot of positive signs are going public.

As much as he wanted an offer you figure he would've committed on the spot. That said, if he can go to Tulane and contribute early maybe that is the best scenario for him.

So he has no offer? Got it. I would go to Tulane if I were him.

It's just a guess. He has his mind set on playing DT at the next level, while LSU wants him as a FB.

He cancelled the visit, but let's see if the staff can't get him back to visit.

It looks like he is interested in MSU rather than Ole Miss. It's a bit surprising that MSU hasn't offered him.

LSU wants Canty as a fullback.

I'd be lying to you if I could tell you the big board LSU has for the FB position.

we do know that guy who played center for Parkview will be a preferred walk-on at FB.

I'm not making too much out of this. He has been expanding his interests for weeks. It looks to me like he is just making his rounds.
