This is the time of year where many underrated OL prospects start to emerge. We found Chance Warmack in our summer OL/DL camp in July 2008. I would hate to see Dodd switch to LSU, but I think we can find another solid OL prospect to fill the void.

True, but I still think he's got the best upside out of any of the OL in this class other than Tunsil. Only time will tell though. We need some more O-Lineman that can play at a high level. I expect Brandon Hill to play in 2013 with Cyrus and Steen, but I don't know who we have right now that'd fill in at other positions. Lindsay, Luatua, Kellen, (Well Kellen isn't as bad as the other two) all aren't anything special to me.

I don't think Brandon Hill will make it in.

I think the first OL off the bench will be Ryan Kelley. Moving Barrett Jones to wherever he would be needed.

I feel the best OL commit we have will end up being Grant Hill. That's just my opinion.

KSM for Dodd is fine with me. I know LSU never wanted KSM and Dodd is better to them. Whatever but this opens the spot we need for a LT in the class which coincides with the news we got yesterday. So good luck to the young man at LSU if that is where he ends up, but UA will probably have 2 new OL commited before the season starts.

I know KSM is in Tuscaloosa. I have no idea about Willis.

Agree to disagree then. I've always liked Hill and Bozeman much more than Dodd and that's just our OL commits. OJ Howard, Tenpenny, Bateman, Jones, etc... Not to mention uncommitted prospects like Rober Foster, Matthew Thomas, Derrick Henry, Josh McNeil, Tony Conner, Mackenzie Alexander, etc...

Well I probably shoudnt say this but it is true Willis is @ least 70% Bamma as of last week.FWIW When I say our state is sick with talent next year is a gross understatement

Ehhh, I'm a little sketchy about him because he hasn't stood out when I've seen him play. He doesn't "seem" like anything special to me right now.

These are the only two I can verify per our sites. Beckwith, Williams, and Fournette so far are no shows.

LA is stacked next year. LSU could sign the top talent in LA and have a top 5 class.

Neither of our schools need to sweat losing a few commitments in any year, both of our coaches have lead us to a point where we always have @ least very productive players @ every position and capable back-ups @ all times,..........O.K. I see JJ jokes coming, but seriously 2 or 3 kids dont really matter...just my opinion

What three OL committed or already on the team do you think take the three open starting jobs in 2013?

I hear Austin Shepherd is close to ready, who else?

Brandon Hill


Shepherd

No idea. I have no idea who else could start. I'd want to see more of our back up guys this year.





Also, I did a little google search to try and see what LSU fans thought about our man Eddie Lacy during his recruitment.

I completely agree. I just wish we get in on some of that TX talent you guys will land next year.

Capstone, that would be a nice line. I hope Ryan goes ahead and moves to center if he has not already.
