re: JC wide receiver Duron Carter visiting as well with Mettenberger

After watching Carter at OSU, I want him here.

QB - Mett, Bridgewater
RB - Ridley, Ford, Ware, Gore, Hilliard, Hill, Blue, Worle
WR - Randle, Shepard, Landry, Carter, Williams, Boone, Wright, Lewis, and possibly even a shot at Dorial Green

We are going to be unstoppable. Just look at the play makers there! I can't think of any other school in the nation with this type of talent lined up. If we get Dana from Ok State, it's going to be scary for us to watch we are going to beat opponents so badly. Wow, this is getting exciting.

I think you're reaching a little too much there I like your thinking, but he loves his foster family

so offer Eli = Bridgewater.... not liking our chances then

I've also been hearing that OBJ is being more open to playing CB if need be. If so, I think that gives Rogers that WR spot

I honestly don't know much about OBJ's skill set, but I get the feeling he could be another Drayton Calhoun if comes in and becomes a corner.

Drayton was a great RB in hs and just racked up tons of yardage. He came to LSU, got moved to DB, and has been down on the depth chart. Now, he's only a RSFr, so he has plenty of time to improve, and he's a good athlete, but I don't know if he'll see the field anytime soon just based off all the corners we have coming in and playing early. (I'd like to see him on special teams though)

There's a lot of people on here, myself included, that feel Beckham is better suited as a CB. The thing I like the most about Beckham is I think he even sees that we will be weak at CB next year, and I could see him being a Mathieu-type production if he stepped in at CB

From a depth standpoint, we will be in good shape at corner. Claiborne is returning, as is TM (although I think his role as nicel back/part time blitzer is optimal for his skill set). Ron Brooks will be back I think, and he is solid. Simon should improve as well. And I think we have like 4 corners committed right now (not sure where Turner ends up). Maybe OBJ could come in and be like a Tryann Mathieu, but to be a good defender like TM,it takes a certain mindset that a lot of offensive players from high school don't always have. I've always gotten the impression that OBJ is an offensive guy.

Some players have that mindset before they step on campus, and others don't. Compare Morris Claiborne and Jai Eugene. If I'm not mistaken, both were QBs in high school. Claiborne has come in and contributed early at corner. It took Jai a couple of seasons to acclimate himself to playing defense.

So what are the chances of us finding a scholly for Eli? And do you think Miles would go for a packaged deal to get the big guy? If you can't really comment, I understand.

aggie, are you saying we can get bridgewater if we offer eli, EVEN if mett commits to us

That's the million dollar question.



Well, actually the million dollar question is "will Teddy or Mett committ to us?" But the next hypothetical question worth a lot of money would be "can we get both?"

Botts I understand, but Martin is a Special player fwiw.
