Devonte Smith is my guess. Jimmy is really close to him, and raves about his potential. The interview smith gave after the Bbq sounded like it completely changed his mind, if you read between the lines. This would be a "close the fence" around the state get, a pull from our biggest rival in Bama(who was long considered to be a lean/silent to), a five star talent, and definitely unexpected.
With smith, jimmy would be one of the first to know, and it would absolutely floor him. Outside guess is Chris Allen, but I'm thinking it's definitely Smith.

And then, LSU’s surge began. Craig was quick to repair any communication issues between LSU and the top-rated Louisiana prospect, then lured Smith back to LSU for the inaugural barbecue last Saturday. The Amite (La.) product stayed for about three hours and met with every single coach on LSU’s staff, listening to each one make one thing exceedingly clear: LSU wants Devonta Smith. That’s been the staff’s message to Smith all along, and it means a lot to him because he respects the Tigers’ football program and the fact that they’ve been so transparent in his recruitment. After visiting with Smith earlier in the week, here are the four biggest components that will help him finalize his decision between LSU, Alabama and Miami: Coaching staff Communication Offense Family Coaching staff: This one comes down to Miami and LSU. Smith once committed to Miami coach Mark Richt when he was at the helm of Georgia and could easily envision doing the same now that he’s elsewhere. He trusts Richt and likes the direction of the Hurricanes’ program. Why LSU? Simply because of Craig and Ed Orgeron. No coaches have shown more attention to Smith since February than those two from LSU, who have made it overwhelmingly clear that he’s the No. 1 player on their big board. Communication: Here comes ‘Bama. LSU suffered a bit of a hiccup earlier this summer when Craig lost contact with Smith as he released his announcement date and opted to exclude the in-state power from the list. The bright side here is that Craig was quick to repair that line of communication and Smith stated that it’s as good now as it was prior. As far as the Tide goes, Smith maintains communication with the coaches on daily basis and it’s been that way since Day 1 of his recruitment. He believes consistent communication is a sign that a school really wants you, and this might ultimately favor Alabama. Offense: This is probably the biggest nuance. Smith was down on LSU’s offense even after taking in a handful of spring practices and still seeing a run-heavy system. However, he has come to the realization that if he does, in fact, go to LSU, the coaches are going to design a scheme that gets their No. 1 receiver the ball consistently. That’s something LSU has been able to do over the years and something he’s confident Craig can accomplish. “If you’re their No. 1 receiver, you’re still getting the ball. And if I go there, I’ll be their No. 1 wide receiver,” Smith said. Consider that a toss-up between the Tide and Tigers. Family: This is the final but essentially the most critical factor of the four. Smith wants to be comfortable in his decision, and also wants his family to feel the same way. It’s not so important where he goes to school, whether it’s in Louisiana, Florida or Alabama, but that his mother, in particular, is confident with the choice. That is going to be the major point of emphasis until Aug. 15.

If this guy really does know who it is then it's either Dylan Moses or Devonta Smith. But he could just be acting like he knows something. But it's taking too long for any info so I'm just gonna go about my day

There are a lot of people in this thread throwing out vague nothing statements acting like they know what is going on.

Moses is already all LSU and has been for awhile, Bama has pretty well conceded him as such, so it's not him as it wouldn't be totally unexpected.
Still very excited to have Moses and we will know sooner than later as he is an EE, IIRC.

Pretty much

I would like D Smith, but not as much as Allen or Moses and I thought it was "at a potion of need for us". WR is the least needed position on our team!
Posted on 7/29/16 at 3:54 pm to I-H8-BAMA
Allen is more of a position of need.

Not really
Chark, Dural and Dupre could all be gone next year.
Tyron Johnson will be a junior and who really knows how well the incoming freshmen will perform

I've heard that Devonta Smith is the real deal and has ELITE ball skills. I'll welcome that all day. When it comes to who I'd rather have; I have no idea. I bet I would have said I wanted a 5 star corner over Tyrann Mathieu any day before they got to LSU. And we know how that went. Same with Mo Claiborne.
