From the Auburn board:

KN also has update on 4* Joey Gatewood, everyone's favorite QB prospect
Rhett Lashlee was something like a father figure to Gatewood and even tho Lindsey is different than Lashlee, Gatewood could see him being the same thing. He was a bit "blindsided" at first when Lindsey told him they were going to recruit a 2nd QB but after the transfers he admits that we have to find another QB. Gatewood apparently is now cool with it and seems pretty solid. Plenty of schools like Alabama, Georgia, Ole Miss and Oregon are still after him and apparently Ohio State has opened up communications. Told him they have 5* Emory Jones committed but if anything were to happen they wanted to stay in touch. Of those Gatewood said the school he's most intrigued by is Alabama because their history. Apparently Bama coaches have told him his offer is legit and they like his fit, so sounds like he plans on camping there this summer. Lindsey is aware of him talking with other schools but seems fine with it and comfortable with Gatewood sticking. Gatewood mentions that Lindsey's offense reminds him a bunch of what he runs now at his high school
KN seems to think Gatewood is about as solid as it gets but I will admit a bit nervous he is so interested in Bama. I am a bit surprised they would take him a QB target but I am guessing since they have two guys basically ready to play now they can give Gatewood time to develop. I know there are very mixed feelings on here about him but if Bama, Ohio State & UGA are all after him that tends to show that plenty think he has tremendous upside. Will be interesting to see what happens after his Bama visit this summer
Another note, KN says that AU did visit Emory Jones over the break as well. Everyone seems to think he's pretty solid to Ohio State but sounds like we might also be trying to make a run at him as well. Either Field or Jones would be a great pickup but personally I think Jones is a bit overrated. I want Fields if we can get him

LSU made the top four for Georgia offensive tackle James Ohonba, one of the nation's premier prospects at his position.
The Tigers joined USC, Michigan and Alabama in Ohonba's top group, according to his tweet on Thursday evening.

The state of Georgia has been a priority for the LSU staff under Ed Orgeron's leadership, and the talent-rich state has been fruitful for the Tigers. As of now, LSU has yet to receive a commitment from a projected offensive tackle for the 2018 class, which is a major need position, as the LSU staff looks to improve its athleticism and depth at the position.
At 6-foot-5, 320 pounds, Ohonba certainly has the build of a collegiate lineman, and his game shows a mean streak and the athleticism to man the edge at the next level. Ohonba picked up his offer from LSU on April 25.
