Spring Recruiting Overview

3 of my Breaux Bridge Tigers committed. Pretty excited for this season to start. Louis and Dural, I've talked about before. Holmes runs the fastest 400 in the nation. Last year, he was very raw in his first year on the football team with below average hands. I think he'll put a lot more work and focus on improving that because he is a freakishly fast guy. He was a track guy on the field last year.

Patrick Miller, offensive lineman from West Palm Beach, FL has committed to LSU. Big pickup for the Tigers

Just a small FYI, LSU's 3 committed offensive lineman average 6'7 and 288 pounds. These kids get bigger and bigger every year

Them LSU Tigers just keep on stockpiling that talent.

Okay, I've caught everything up on the thread, I threw up a lot of videos and articles. I reposted the articles in this post, but you'll have to go back to the first page to get the video.

• Blanche Ely 2012 WR Avery Johnson says he will decide between LSU, Oklahoma
• Tracy Howard, Avery Johnson face off
• Woodlawn's Davis to anchor offense, defense
• West St. John's Ronnie Feist leaves little doubt he's one of anchors of defense
• Airline's Thomas could be lost for season
• O.P. Walker's Dwayne Thomas' skills, maturation put him among higher rated DBs in nation
• LSU football lands commitment from Breaux Bridge
• LSU football: Davante Bourque switches commitment to LSU
• Recruit Spotlight: Offensive Tackle Derek Edinburgh
• Jalen Mills talks about his reasons for committing to LSU
• LSU football gets 2012 commitment from Florida offensive tackle
• Dwyer High Super 11 OT commits to LSU over Miami, Auburn

Some names to look/listen for:

• Anthony Alford, QB, Petal (Dual-threat QB likely to be the only QB offered this year)
• Landon Collins, S, Dutchtown (Played with Eric Reid)
• Jeremy Hill, RB, Baton Rouge (Yeah, that Jeremy Hill)
• Dwayne Stanford, WR, Cincy (6-4, 200 lbs from Spencer Ware's neck of the woods)
• Vadal Alexander, OT, Buford, GA (This would give LSU it's best O-Line class since Andrew Whitworth, Rodney Reed, Rudy Niswanger, etc.)
• Denzell Devall, DE/LB, Bastrop (Outstanding OLBer prospect in a large class of outstanding LBer prospects)
• Channing Ward, DE/LB (Another National LBer prospect that's likely to stay in MS or end up at Bama)
• Jelani Hamilton, DE/LB, Miami (A big-time National DE prospect that's considering LSU and UNC despite a verbal to the U.)
• Richie Brown, LB, Long Beach (Looking at Stanford, Vandy, Miss State, Ole Miss and LSU and was offered by LSU over some of the top LA LBer prospects)

Vadal Alexander Interview - ESPN Video - ESPN

Landon Collins, S from Dutchtown has played five games thus far this year. After five games, he has enough material for a seven and a half minute highlight tape. He has narrowed his two schools to LSU and Bama.

Enjoy.

Several top recruits were at the game this past week (mostly already committed guys), including highly sought after OT Vidal Alexander. The rumor is that he verbally committed to the coaches and it should be made public very soon.

I read his comments on another website where he said that Auburn was his favorite going into the LSU/UF game. He was ready to commit to AU because he didn't think that LSU could possibly have been better. Happy to say that he's not afraid to admit when he's wrong.

Hopefully he turns out better than the last Buford H.S. alum LSU recruited: Steven Singleton Singleton ended up at a JC before signing with USCe where he currently sits at 2nd string.

Reports out there that Jamar Gibson, a top-rated high school junior (2013) receiver from Baytown TX (Sterling) has rescinded his verbal commit to Aggy, and Texags thinks he favors LSU.

Sooooo who does everyone think rounds out the LSU signing class (do we have 3 or 5 left to offer?). I have become somewhat disconnected from the network I previously used to keep my finger on the pulse of recruiting so I am interested in who those with some knowledge of what is going on, think will finish off this years class.

Just with a cursory glance I would think the best case scenario would be Denzel Devall, Kwon Alexander, Anthony Alford, Channing Ward, and Landon Collins.... that IMO would be a SLAM DUNK and is not likely to happen. There are still better players we could pursue as well but I feel like they are less likely to sign... and honestly if we grab 3 of those 5 I would be happy with the class.
