Can someone let everyone know which uncommitted recruits will be in BR for the Spring Game this weekend? I only know of two: Marcus Lattimore Trovon Reed Any others? Thanks
Not really expecting one but I wouldn't be surprised. If I had to take a stab at it maybe Demarco Cobbs if he makes it in or OL Luke Carpentier. Just trying to find out if these guys will be in attendance.
Add: OLB Justin Maclin OLB Shaun Lewis CB Tony Hurd P Jonathan Ginsburgh Maybe: TE Travis Dickson OG Adam Shead CB Ronnie Vinson (maybe he is going to Bama, don't remember)
Bhelm, not that you are a mind reader, but whats the appeal about Bama and the Barn for guys like Vincent and T. Reed. I mean these kids have grown up in Louisiana all their lives, I know thats not an excuse. But I just dont understand the appeal, is it depth chart or a dislike for LSU. Either way it really bothers me with Louisiana kids. Like Sentimore and Lacy, I think we could have gotten those kids if we had offered them early on and if neither had grade problems.
Vinson and Reed just want to take their time and see other schools like most of the top guys. Bama is not too far from home, program is on the rise, and Saban and staff make sure to get in the picture with LA prospects early. Doesn't take many resources to get over to Bama, AUB, or Texas to get an idea of what these schools are all about. Staffs get in early and influence them to make a drive to meet them in person. As for Sentimore and Lacy, in-state schools run a risk a offering kids with grade problems early because they might go ahead and commit before we feel better about their current academic situation. This gives out-of-state schools leverage to get on them early and take a higher risk for a bigger reward in taking a prospect out of their home state. We did the same with Williford last year. Bama and Auburn wanted to take their time in offering him to get a better evaluation of him and to see what possibilities they have a chance of landing oos OLman. We were willing to take a risk on a guy who is huge, work him in as a project, and he had great grades. Bama and Auburn both came at him hard in January according to Williford but his commitment was firm.
Solomon Patton has decided to go to the Bama Spring game instead because there is a Scout Southeast Elite 150 camp in Tuscaloosa on Sunday as well. This way he can attend both on the same weekend. He has plans to visit LSU in the very near future.
Lattimore is not coming now and not positive on the reason but one rumor is that he is going to Auburn. Deceks, any info?
