re: Class of 2015 Recruiting MEGATHREAD - Twilight Edition

From a poster on the LSUrb who supposedly coaches Daylon Charlot. TIFWIW.

LSU has a better shot at Mykel Jones next year than flipping Daylon this year. Unless things really heat up during the season or in January.

I'm very much an LSU fan, graduated from there last August. But now Coaching these guys and being around them a lot I realize the pressures of being a major recruit. As much as I want them all to attend LSU I realize it's not always their best choice for them to be successful. I will never tell them to go else where but I won't be mad or try and sway them if they pick another school.

Mykels top 4 are LSU, Texas, USC, and FSU. Texas is slowly fading now tho. He told me he wants to change his phone number right now bc they call him so much. He finds that very annoying.

As said before, Daylon never had an offer from LSU and when he got it he was very excited initially but now he's back focused on being committed to Bama and finishing his senior year strong. That's why I say things could change after the season is over in January. That being said LSU is still in the picture but it's not likely.

This guy seemed a little bit balanced which is why I posted it. Seems like Daylon was excited about the LSU offer, but focused right now on being a Bama commit.

WILSON, HAMILTON BOND CONTINUES
John Garcia Jr.
Recruiting Analyst

Shaun Hamilton was the cornerstone of the Montgomery-Carver defense for the last few years, but those keys have been turned over to 2016 five-star Lyndell “Mack” Wilson with Hamilton departed for the University of Alabama. Still, the two remain in contact as reuniting at the next level remains a possibility.

One of the top juniors in the country, Lyndell Wilson has risen to become arguably the most coveted prospect in Alabama over the last six months or so.

Scout.com ranks him as its No. 6 overall prospect in the class of 2016, as a five-star outside linebacker projection.
“I’m not letting anything get to my head, I can get better,” he said Friday. “I’m staying up on my grades and all, and I’m real proud of myself for being named a five-star. I’m very competitive, I have a big heart and I’m not scared of anything. I’m the type to always sell out for the little things, diving, always willing to put in extra on the field.”

The Montgomery (Ala.) Carver High standout admits that he wasn’t always thought of as a top-tier prospect, using help from a former Wolverine standout to ascend to this point.

“When he was here, Shaun Hamilton helped me. He stayed on me about the little things,” Wilson said. “Shaun taught me a lot. He used to pull aside and talk to me around anything I’m doing, take me to the classroom to watch film. He’d teach me there, and would just show me the little things on the field, like knowing what plays will be run.
“Every time we did drills, I went up against him…he just taught me a lot of things. He just taught me how to be a football player. I thank him for that, I basically say he took me under his wing and showed me everything.”

Hamilton is now a freshman linebacker at Alabama, wrapping up his first fall camp after graduating as Carver’s valedictorian. He finished early and enrolled at UA in January before participating in spring ball. Though still adjusting to college life, the former three-star linebacker still finds time to catch up with his protégé.

“I talk to Shaun almost every week, even though they’re busy up there practicing and everything,” Wilson said. “I keep my eye on him just to see how he’s doing, and they say he’s doing very well. He knows all the plays, and there’s no doubt in my mind that he’ll get playing time this year.”
Wilson, should he choose, has the chance to join Hamilton at the next level. He was offered by Alabama in April, during a flurry of verbal offers to come in from coaches after many staffs saw him in person. Auburn, Ole Miss, Louisville and Miami did the same that month.

Still using the word “shocked” when talking about his in-state SEC extensions, no further hints are being given on the recruiting front.

“My family was very proud of me, I grew up an Alabama fan, all my family Alabama fans,” Wilson said. “They’re going to support me wherever I go, they just say, ‘make the right decision.’ I’m not going to say that I’m going to Alabama, I’m not looking into colleges right now…but I talk to Shaun Hamilton a lot and he always talks about teaming up at Alabama.

“But at the end of the day, it’s going to be my decision where to go.”

Ranked as the No. 2 outside linebacker in America’s junior class, Wilson maintains that he’s in no rush to make a commitment. Instead, he’s trying to help Carver to an undefeated 2014 campaign, led by what he calls the state’s top defense.

Charlot is now in Tuscaloosa for the scrimmage instead of visiting LSU as previously planned.

That sucks, not that we didnt expect it, but on top of an underwhelming scrimmage report...not really what I wanted to hear

Better sooner than later.

#Bama and #UGA flip each other in the last two weeks or so (McGraw, Ledbetter). Wouldn't be surprised to see maybe one more each way by Feb

Who do you think he is referring to? Godwin to Bama and Rico back to UGA?

Seriously. I'm surprised that there hasn't been more mention of him with Bama. He is a stud.

ETA: Looks like he will now find a place in my top five uncommitted recruits.

We don't belong.
