I debated whether to start a new thread on this or not, but hopefully Ill make it worthwhile.

Firstly, I went to the game and was in a prime seat to pay more attention to the happenings and interactions with the recruits than necessarily to watch the game. Though that was a tough decision for me, I love recruiting so I stuck with that.

Recruits and recent signees that I saw with my own eyes:
Anthony Dodd, dude looks mean and serious(was there with his dad, went on the field after the game and hung out with Pocic)
Maquedius Bain
Kevin Spears(took me awhile to figure him out, growing his hair out, had good rapport with a few players)
Desean Smith(hung out with Trey Quinn a lot, shook his hand and said hello, seemed genuine and down to earth)
Jeryl Brazil(walked around like he owned the place, great confidence about him)
Hardemen(told him congrats, stared at me a little funny for knowing who he was)
Dupre(was down in the hallway by the Mailman, the father, and Simon) I think he is lsu by body language
Quinn( sat next to Smith, and at the end of the game Will clapp and he were chilln together) They seemed really close(clapp and quinn), and thats the first time I heard anything about that. He was there with his whole family, and he seems like another guy that will end up at LSU
Brumfield(looks very comfortable and yet another one that I think ends up a Tiger)
Moses(so laid back and chill, saw him plenty, and he was watching the catching drills with the running backs on the field)
Fournette(this guy really stood out physically(most important part is that he spent a lot of time on the first row with his mother, seems to be really close to her)
someone in another thread mentioned Kathy Miles sitting next to his mom. She chatted her up for an hour or so. Dont downplay this. I think this is big.
Kendall Beckwith - another physically impressive specimen. His little brother looks like he may be of the same build too. Might need to get on his recruitment already

All in all, from my humble opinion of social interaction and body language, I think we lead for brumfield, fournette, quinn, and dupre.
Beckwith, fournette and Dodd all looked the most physically imposing.

Mingo signed the most autographs, Montgomery cut up the most and chest bumped Miles

Jennings looked really good especially considering he went against the first d. Kwon Alexander looked beast, Hill is amazing, Rivers was a bit more mobil than I thought, Rettig is young and needs a good bit of work. Dural is looking to break out, Loston played great, and Magee had a bunch of good runs. If I think of more I will edit later. Feel free to add any observations to this thread, or ASK any questions. Im happy to oblige.

Sorry to run on, but this stuff is like the Super Bowl for me

Bain was in all black and I didnt see him interact too much. I obviously was on a recruiting high, and probably looked like a farret on crack as much as my head was consistently on a swivel.

I feel like we need DL depth asap. I hope some of the freshmen bring it, most likely Gilmore/Herron/Beckwith. Also, lots more swing passes from our O across our linebackers to the TE's. This was great as it was even working against our first D. Another somewhat decent team from a lowly state in SEC uses this a lot, and it will give our first D more reps against it throughout the year.

Funniest part of the whole spring game was Chavis sprinting from one sideline to the other to ream the players for not paying attention to the game. You could hear him screaming clear across the field. It was great.

Also am pretty sure I got to see both Wildman and jrevonte.

All in all a pretty successful trip.

Not Moses of the burning bush either. This Moses will lead us to championships the way Bible Moses lead the Israelites across the Red Sea

Saw Quinn and know his family. He is all lsu. You didn't mention Jeremy hill who looked stronger and quicker than last year. Wr were blocking I including dural, Johnson and Diarse. Armond Williams looked good in pregame drills. I was impressed by rivers for the first time. Moved better than expected with good picket presence and nice throws. Wait ti they have Desean Smith to throw to.
