Great news. Why the 3 star rating for a guy with offers from everywhere? Looks like 247 has him as a 2 star...but a 3 star composite. Project guy? Or what?Quote:

Willie Allen next weekend. LSU wavering on offer? Just want to visit somewhere? Was suppose to go to Aub changed to us.
What's the expert opinion on him? Is he really a top OL prospect?Quote:

He needs a RS year to get his body in great shape & learn pass protection. He's been over ranked. He's a low 4* not a top 50 or 100 player like he's been ranked. He can be a really good player in 2yrs IMO.Quote:

Speaking of John Curtis, their assistant coach Johnny Curtis (played here for 3 years before finishing at Tulane) is leaving to be the LB coach at Ball St with the HC Mike Neu. Neu was prior Saints QB coach.Quote:

I've been away from the board most of the day, but have been marinating on something I'd like to run it by you guys. I thought about posting it in a new thread, but decided that any poster that really mattered would probably read it here anyway.
Hopefully this some encouragement & confidence to our recruiting.
Follow me here:
- The last few days we've heard rumors about everything. Rosebowl said this, Paul said that. My uncle's accountant said this, Yancy said that. Ole Miss fans said this, my barber said that. We've had posters predict that we get everyone on our board to posters predicting we only get on guy. So basically, I am making the assumption that overall nobody, except Dan Mullen, his staff, & the players know anything.
- I've always been someone that believes actions speak infinitely louder than words, & that looking at our staff's actions is potentially a better way to determine what's going than anything else.
- Here are my interpretations of Dan Mullen & his staff's actions.
- We currently only have 13 commits
- We are going to sign 22-23 players. So we need about 10 more players.
Where are all the offers? It seems as if there is no panic by our staff. Why hasn't Mason or others been offered?
My point is that, the actions of the coaches have me believing that they feel pretty good about our top targets.
Ifyouonlyknew, what do you think?
We must feel decent about our chances with some of these new OL prospects because we could've landed Genrle Williams had we wanted to correct? Instead we aren't pushing for him and appear to be ok with him going to Cal.
A nice rational statement. These have been few and far between lately. Not getting caught up in the minute by minute panic threads seem to have done you some good. Well done and well said. I too have thought all along that our staff must feel pretty confident about our remaining targets, otherwise we would be seeing a whole new batch of plan b or plan c guys lining up visits.Quote:

If you honestly read what he said, then you will see that he has pretty solid info. Not perfect, but decent and solid info.
Just a page or so back a poster said that Steve said of Simmons "In the FWIW category, Rosebowl says as of today Simmons is UM/Bama". That is not at all what Steve said. He has stated that he thinks Simmons is between UM, Bama, and MSU. The question was Steve's opinion of where he would actually sign. To that question he answered UM or Bama. Huge difference that folks will run with and then say Rosebowl was wrong.
So are we sure bama won't take knott if they get carter? There's a ton of CBs coming in for carter to bama now
