No. 11 DT Aubrey Solomon - Leesburg (Ga.) Lee's County

Prediction: Michigan Wolverines
Solomon will have Alabama, Georgia, Michigan and USC hats on the table Wednesday morning. He is a one-time Michigan commit and he has been trending back towards the Wolverines the last few weeks. Alabama looks to be their biggest competition, but can you really rule anyone out here?

No. 26 WR Devonta Smith - Amte (La.)

Prediction: Alabama Crimson Tide
Smith was scheduled to visit Miami this past weekend, but he didn't make the trip. Alabama and LSU have been his top two for some time and it is clear that he will end up in the SEC West. Scout's pick has been Alabama for over six months and there is no reason to change it now.

Scout is wrong about Solomon, imo.
My prediction: He comin' to Bama!

Solomon is too hard to read. I think he could be a very good player at a position of need for us (and contribute early to next year's 4th SEC Championship in a row and restored-order natty) but I just doubt he comes here. We haven't had great luck with recruits advertising we have a giant lead who don't commit before signing day.

I know there is no smoke there but still would not be surprised with UGA for him. I'm okay if he goes to UM (he strikes me as kind of quirky like Harbaugh).

That's a set director mistake. They've got him ready a TelePrompTer and facing the sun. It's just bad all around.

Shea put Mathis and Harris on his confident pick list for LSU.

It seems that both sides are confident in landing Mathis.

Message boards are gold right now:

quote:

I am clearly bias because I am a tiger fan but Damn I look at D Smith situation and think he is a bigger fool for going to a team that is transitioning OC and has read option QB. He will not put up Amari Cooper type number hell Ridley took a massive step backwards. Then you have 3 other top 100 WR competing for the less amount of balls. Its like we swapped with them.

Now LSU has everything going for us. and We showed that we are going to open up the offense with an interim OC. We bring in the best money can buy and you are focus point for that OC.


LSU fans talking about our QB "problem" is rich.

LSU message board "insiders" are also confident in landing Mathis.

So basically it's Solomon or bust at DT?

I'm not ready to say he is LSU bound yet. LSU message board insiders also had 5for5

I really think we get Solomon (and LaBryan Ray too). If so, Idk if we'll have room for Mathis. Some think Mathis wants to come to Bama. I've asked twice if anyone knows how many we can backcount. No answer so far.

I remember a few years ago they said they were going 5 for 5 or something like that when Speedy Noel went to A&M. I think we got one of the guys there were super confident in too.

Deceased friend was a big Bama fan, hard for me to imagine he goes to the gravesite of the kid, and doesn't pick Bama. Could be wrong, just know if I were picking LSU, I'd be at my school.
