I coach at Capitol. Former Tiger Terrell McGill is on staff and Chad Lavalais came by last week, he might be helping out.

This summer Terrence and a few other players attended camp at Alabama. He really liked Saban and the feeling must have been mutual b/c when he got back home Saban called him and offered him a scholarship. If he doesn't end up playing QB Nick would like to have him playing DB. As far as I know T is still open to other schools, he just wants to see what other options there are. As he continues to have a good Jr. year the contacts should start coming in.

If Miles wants him he better get going. No one from LSU has shown any interest yet. Knowing Jimbo, if he was still here, he would have made contact by now. We'll see...

Sounds like we still aren't recruiting him.

Are there any other in-state guys? I would assume we will target some top guys nationally/regionally and then see what our incoming freshmen look like before adjusting plans.

LSU leads for 2010 Tennessee LB

Justin Rowland

Memphis (Tenn.) Ridgeway is home to one of the top linebackers in the Class of 2010 in Justin Maclin and the 6-foot-4, 215-pound prospect is one of the few juniors to already hold an offer from LSU.

Top back in 2010

Who looks to be the top running back for the 2010 class?

Curtis from Las Vegas
-----
As always, there are a bunch of talented running backs. Who's the top dog? While it's still early, here's a group who will be near the top of the 2010 class: Lache Seastrunk (Temple, Texas); Michael Dyer (Little Rock, Ark.); Corey Brown (Springfield, Pa.); Tiger Powell (Lake City, Fla.); Eduardo Clements (Miami); Jakhari Gore (Miami); Marcus Lattimore (Duncan, S.C.); D.J. Morgan (Woodland Hills, Calif.); Joseph Randle (Wichita, Kan.); Malcolm Jones (Westlake Village, Calif.); Nick Hill (Chelsea, Mich.); Austin White (Livonia, Mich.); Stephen Nixon (Las Vegas); Anthony Barr (Torrance, Calif.); Dillon Baxter (San Diego); and Deonte Cooper (Perris, Calif.).

I love the versatility of Lattimore, the speed and home-run threat of Seastrunk, and the elusive and electric running of Dyer. I know it's early, but it's that trio I see battling for the No. 1 running back spot for the class of 2010.

But I haven't seen them all, and I am sure there will be many more worthy players who pop up soon.

Travis Dickson got his offer before the game.

WR Trevon Reed had a great time and said he likes LSU a lot.

He spent most of the game with Lache and he said he loves LSU as much as he does.

Rivals 2010 250 Is out now

FVSports Elite 100 is out.

http://www.fvsports.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=372&Itemid=94

***** 3. Lache Seastrunk
5'11" / 190 pounds / Running Back / Temple High School / Temple, Texas
Contenders: LSU, Texas, USC
Scouting Report: Probably the most electric HS tailback since Reggie Bush. Definition of a home-run hitter, Seastrunk's suddenness is unmatched. Has tremendous initial acceleration, change of direction, and that final gear that very few humans have. Personal best of 10.37 100m, should get that down into the 10.2s before he finishes high school. Compliments his speed with good lateral vision, and is pretty slippery on first contact. Long-jumping 20-9 in middle school, Seastrunk has tremendous leg strength, agility, and body control. Has shown flashes coming out of the backfield and should develop into a dangerous receiving threat. Not a workhorse back, Seastrunk will have to adjust from the Wing-T and show consistency running between the C gaps. Probably a better fit in a zone blocking scheme going forward. Special talent who has one of the highest ceilings of any player in this class.

***** 4. Michael Dyer
5'9" / 205 pounds / Running Back / Little Rock Christian High School / Little Rock, Arkansas
Contenders: Arkansas, Alabama, Florida, Ole Miss, Oklahoma
Scouting Report: Named EA Sports National Sophomore of the Year last season, and is currently on pace to eclipse 9,000 rushing yards in his prep career. Has been hand-timed in the sub 4.4 range. Dyer's greatest gift is his vision and ability to create lanes between the tackles when there aren't any. Compact frame allows him to hide behind blockers and get good leverage on first contact, which leads his ridiculous ability to break tackles. Unlike the vast majority of HS tailbacks faster than their peers, Dyer doesn't bounce everything to the outside. Should really benefit him as he transitions into college, and outside of blocking, will have a very short learning curve. Could easily be argued that Dyer is the top tailback in this class, I just value Seastrunk's ability to do more with fewer carries. Dyer will need to dominate the carries to get his maximum value. Has a lot of Curtis Martin in him.

***** 11. Reggie Wilson
6'4" / 235 pounds / Defensive End / Haltom High School / Haltom City, Texas
Contenders: Texas, Oklahoma, LSU
Scouting Report: Violent player with a lot of potential. Physically, Wilson has a great speed/strength ratio for his build, and a pretty good motor. Possesses that rare explosion off the ball that garners offers from everyone. Understands angles and how to move on the field despite just picking up football a few years ago. His style of play makes it very difficult for offensive linemen to cut him, and he does a pretty good job of disengaging. Has plus closing speed, makes it look like the quarterback is wearing a magnet on film. Hasn't played football for very long, so he's still raw in terms of his techniques and consistency. Wilson has one of the higher ceilings of anyone in this class.

***** 14. Jamel Turner
6'3" / 210 pounds / Linebacker / Ursuline Academy / Youngstown, Ohio
Contenders: Ohio State, Notre Dame, Illinois, LSU, Michigan
Scouting Report: Explosive edge rusher, one of the most productive at the high school level in a long time. Plays defensive end, but will be forced back to outside linebacker because of his frame. Has a good base and wide shoulders, so he should be able to get in the 230-240 range by the end of college. Elite level first step up field, pretty impressive change of direction and lateral agility in space, which will help him transition positions. Possesses the best closing speed of any defensive player in this class. Good fundamentals, has already developed a few go-to pass rush moves. Holds his ground against bigger linemen at the point of attack. Hasn't played much out of a two-point stance or shown much in coverage, may have a bit of a learning curve. Would really fit best in a 3-4 scheme, or at least one that mixes fronts. In this age of versatile pass rushers, Turner has that game-changing ability that every program looks for.

***** 16. Marcus Lattimore
6'0" / 215 pounds / Byrnes High School / Duncan, South Carolina
Contenders: South Carolina, Florida State, Georgia, Alabama, LSU, Clemson
Scouting Report: The prototypical workhorse back. Besides a strong frame, Lattimore has a little bit of everything skill wise: the ability to pound between the tackles, or break 10-20 yard gains off the C gaps consistently. Plays to contact, and does a good job of fighting for hidden yards. Doesn't take many negative plays. Has been timed sub 4.5, and shown glimpses of breakaway speed. Also a very capable receiver out of the backfield, with good hands, and has the body to be effective in pass protection. Lattimore is a true three-down back who can carry a team at times. Lacks the vision or balance to be considered a true franchise back. Doesn't have the big-play ability of a Dyer or Seastrunk. Has racked up a lot of mileage for a 17-year old, already totaling over 3,500 yards and 30 touchdowns in his career against elite level competition. The second five-star in this class from Byrnes, joining Brandon Willis.

***** 17. Alec Ogletree
6'3" / 210 pounds / Safety / Newnan High School / Newnan, Georgia
Contenders: Georgia, Miami, Auburn, Clemson, Florida State, LSU
Scouting Report: Physically imposing athlete, the question is, is he done growing? Probably, and considering Ogletree has really good instincts for his age, it may allow him to stay at safety despite his size. If so, value goes even higher. Definition of a big hitter, but also has plus ball skills. Will be able to turn and run with most wideouts, and has the height to match up with tight ends. Sees the field well and makes quick decisions. Also excels on special teams, has blocked several kicks this year alone. Needs to pick and choose when to go for the kill shot, as it leads to missed tackles. Will have a short learning curve at the next level, should play immediately and become a feared player.

***** 19. Trovon Reed
6'0" / 175 pounds / Wide Receiver / Thibodaux High School / Thibodaux, Louisiana
Contenders: LSU, Georgia, Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Ole Miss, Tennessee
Scouting Report: Dynamic athlete with a great feel for the field. Reed has sub 4.4 speed and great COD ability, very smooth in and out of every cut. Plays quarterback for Thibodaux, accounting for nearly five touchdowns a game, but is being recruited as either a wideout or defensive back. I don't see anyway this kid isn't on offense at the next two levels. Over the summer, Reed dominated the camp circuit, winning WR MVP at every stop. Knows how to get seperation and has outstanding hands. As a quarterback, understands route running and the angles of the field better than most receivers. While Reed has solid height, his body is frail. Getting north of 180 pounds will be necessary to become the complete wideout he has the potential to be. Will get comparisons to former Louisiana quarterback turned wideout Early Doucet.

***** 20. Justin Maclin
6'4" / 215 pounds / Linebacker / Ridgeway High School / Memphis, Tennessee
Contenders: LSU, Tennessee, Texas Tech, USC
Scouting Report: Maclin is also under the radar in terms of hype, but won't be for very long. Physically, Maclin is one of the most impressive players in this class. With a strong basketball background, Maclin is fast, long, and versatile. A developing nightmare off the edge, Maclin also has the athleticism to turn his hips and drop back into coverage. Length and vertical takes away a throwing lane. Still raw and like many basketball players, needs to work on his first step and short-area explosion. Maclin is a wiry athlete who has upside as both a Sam backer in a 4-3 and edge rusher in a 3-4. Not nearly as polished as a Jamel Turner, but probably has the highest ceiling of any linebacker in this class, reminiscent of Rosevelt Colvin in college.
