    Heard Grimes was freaking out this morning. Couldn't get a hold of OVC at all. Fax came in and a big smile.

    BR ESPN guys just said and I agree. The recruiter of this class has been Jeff Grimes.
    Flipped George Brown from FL
    Got OVC when 1 guy out of 24 on 24/7 CBs picked him to go to LSU
    Got Weathersby when most had him favoring Arkansas
    Kept Teuhema
    Got the 2nd best OL in LA in Magee

    OL recruiting grade of A+

    Florida is having kind of a bad day to the benefit of Auburn. Doesn't really matter since we have both of them every year other than the division ramifications.

    Florida's class is a disaster....maybe they will get CeCe Jefferson...if not, this class is in the toilet. Much like Ole Miss. If they lose Van Jefferson, that will be 3 of their top 4 verbals from a week ago...VANISHED! Wow!

    Yeah, that hire IMO was every bit as good as the Orgeron one. Studrawa was just a hideous recruiter IMO and was not improving the players he did get...hence very few LSU OL from recent years in the NFL. But Grimes has a track record of evaluating talent and getting commits. Like I have said....A+ for OL signees.

    The guy has done well. Like to keep him for a few years.

    Hope his coach is correct...

    There has been speculation that Valentine-Okeke might have trouble meeting NCAA Clearinghouse requirements after changing schools so many times, but his coach said he should make to LSU this summer.

    “I think he’ll make it just fine,” Morgans said. “His transcripts are good. The only issue was his ACT. But he has 3.1 GPA. He’s going to LSU regardless.
