Anyone hear anything new about the recruiting of Randle and Richardson? I think these two guys would be great pickups for us.

Richardson seems to have firmed up his commitment to bama(rivals source), and his visit this weekend is either a token, or just a chance to watch bama play. I'm sure there is more to it but I would have a hard time stomaching paying for a kid's trip if I knew that. Randle gives almost no interviews but some website(tigergumbo?) posted an interview of him saying he was considering LSU, bama, usc, okla, okla st. Miami was noticeably absent. Don't know how accurate that one is. It would be nice to have a better feel about him but in truth, I'm just not that worried.
Bama fans believe they have both locked up. LSU fans should feel as good about landing Randle as Bama fans should feel about keeping Richardson. Randle is seriously considering Bama, as Richardson is seriously considering LSU, but I don't see anything tipping the scale to make them switch to said schools.
Just wondering if you could choose only 1 out of Richardson and Randle who would you all pick? Regardless of their hometown.
Im not buying how so many think Randle is a shoe and silent commit. I think LSU has the inside track, but he is far from a definite. I expect he is part of the class but its not a done deal.
If I'm picking between Richardson and Randle I'm taking Randle every time. Randle is going to come in and immediately do what AJ Green is doing for Georgia wherever he goes. You don't see talents like this very often. It wouldn't shock me if he eventually ended up atop the Rivals 100
