Ive read alot on both prevot and neal. seems like a toss-up to me so we just need to sign both!!
ive seen several ppl talk about that Neal's is super-explosive off the line with a huge burst and at times can be unblockable. Prevot seems to have more room to grow, although he has struggled to add weight. if we add gilmore, williams, and either neal or prevot along with lawson and herron...

Bits from the last LSU-Neal article I read.



If he didn't visit Tennessee he will make a decision by July 4th. I don't see anywhere that he visisted the Vols.


Final 3 in no order- LSU, Tennesee and North Carolina


Getting the #18 means a lot to Neal he thinks of himself as a leader


Miles basically assured him of a scholarship spot no matter how long Neal takes

FWIW the twitter feeds on Neal's 247 page all have Neal headed to LSU.

Includes an Ohio State beat writer and senior editor of a recruiting website.

More importantly I'm worried that this guy has nearly filled out his body and potential. While he is a great high school prospect, I am not sold that he projects as an SEC DE. Anyway he moves to linebacker?

Also he has a commitable offer correct?

After reading all of the evaluations on Neal, I believe that I am now sold on him.

Come on down Mr. Neal and join the best team in the land. Great Coaches, Rabid Fans, Awesome Food and there is nothing like "Saturday Night in Tiger Stadium" !

Either the staff plans to bulk Herron up for DT or Prevot is going to A&M IMO

If Neal comes.. That gives us 3 DE- Patterson, herron, Neal.
Would we take Prevot still?
Herron - DT? Haven't heard anything about this.

I think you can safely write either Prevot or Williams off. Most likely means Prevot is going somewhere else.

Neal looks like he's heavily underrated on the recruiting services. Has a nice offer list, assuming they're all legit...

I'm fairly certain we end up closing out the DE class with Neal and Williams.

Everyone is expecting him to commit. His 247 Profile went from "cool" to "warm" to "warmer" and as he shuts his eyes and goes to sleep tonight it will read "favorite".
