Will be interesting to see if Martin and Miller sign early with Auburn if the Barn drops more games.
Losses to Georgia and Bama should finish off Gus, throw in a loss to A&M and he is all but gone.

Terrell Lewis wasn't a true flip.
Decommitted to OSU in August, committed and signed with Bama on NSD.

Hey man, what's the deal with that Eric London kid from Caldwell?
He looks pretty good.
254 yards rushing and 5 TDs on 11 carries.
ETA: Did Slade get to keep the shirt?

Christian Tutt will be on campus this weekend for an unofficial visit.
He is taking an OV to Alabama for the Mercer game as well.

You should see his season stats. They're unbelievable. The deal is he plays in a small, very rural school against other small, very rural schools. Hope Tech or ULM get on him. He can play, but it's hard to tell just how good he is due to competition. I think he could definitely play at the next level.

Yeah, he has two red ones and now a black one.

While the 2018 class is the most pressing on the docket, getting a fast start to 2019 is something the LSU staff is not neglecting. LSU currently has six commitments for the 2019 class, and will be looking to add to that total in the near future. Many of its top targets were on hand Saturday, and here is a quick recap.
Derek Stingley Jr., CB, Dunham, 6-1, 175
Stingley Jr. took in yet another weekend at LSU, as the Tigers appear to have reemerged as the clear favorite for his services, following a decommitment from the standout earlier this year. Stingley Jr. is fond of defensive backs coach Corey Raymond, who designated some time for the 2019 standout on Saturday.
Max Williams, CB, California, 5-9, 170
Sensational California cornerback Max Williams grew up watching LSU, and the Tigers are going to be a player for his services. Williams made his way to Baton Rouge for an unofficial visit, which is his second this year.
Devonta Lee, WR, Amite, 6-2, 210
LSU continues to cement itself as a major contender, if not the leader, for Amite wide receiver Devonta Lee. The impressive prospect had a chance to chat with his area recruiter Matt Canada and wide receiver coach Mickey Joseph, who have been tag-teaming the four-star standout. There are rumblings in Amite that LSU has established itself as the leader for Lee, which would be a huge victory for the Tigers considering the struggles they have had in that area in recent memory.
Ishmael Sopsher, DL, 6-4, 295, Amite
Sopsher returned to LSU's campus on Saturday, following an increased level of attention from the LSU staff of late. Sopsher is a key target for head coach Ed Orgeron, who continues to play a role in his recruitment.

Kelvin Joseph back in the house
Although he officially de-committed from LSU earlier this month, Kelvin Joseph is still very much in play for the Tigers. He took an official to visit to Florida State last week, so a return to the familiar confines of Tiger Stadium is a positive sign for LSU. Joseph had a good time on campus, spending time with LSU running back Derrius Guice and five-star basketball commit Javonte Smart after the game. Official visits to Alabama and Clemson are likely on the horizon for the elite safety prospect.

Yeah he’s 2018. Height is the knock and competition, 2 things the kid can’t control. Never understood height as a concern for a RB.

Speaking of Ruggs, what about his brother Kevontae?
Does he get a scholarship?
Walkon?
Elsewhere?

Why do we even want a RB in this class? I mean if they arent top tier talent they wont last. I mean we are most likely loosing D. Harris, maybe BO, but we have Najee Harris and Josh Jacobs plus a decent RB in Brian robinson. Bo could return. Hes not having the breakout season we thought he would have
Posted on 10/17/17 at 10:55 am to seanpendleton10
To clarify, I don't think the London kid is Bama quality. I think he's closer to Louisiana instate FCS/maybe ULM.

A breakdown of LSU safety target Kelvin Joseph's ridiculous film
quote:
The film doesn't lie. This is a common phrase used by players, coaches and fans alike, and that statement certainly applies to Scotlandville safety Kelvin Joseph.
The 6-feet-2, 210-pound safety recently released his mid-season highlights, and well, let's just say they are impressive. The former LSU commitment made the full-time move to safety this fall for the Hornets, and he looks more than comfortable at the position. Let's step inside for a closer look of his film.
Kelvin Joseph breakdown:
Joseph's speed, physicality and ability to make game-changing plays throughout the entire 8-minutes of film he provides is impressive. It is packed with flashy plays, but when you start to break down his ability in the film, it becomes that much more impressive.
Joseph spends most of his time playing centerfield as the single high safety. To play this position effectively, one has to have tremendous range, take good angles and make plays on the ball when attacked vertically. Joseph does all of this extremely well, starting with his range.
Joseph has the speed to get to the sideline on deep 9-routes from inside the hash-mark, which is fairly rare for a safety prospect. He gets great jumps on the ball, gets there in a hurry and has the body control to adjust to the ball upon arrival.
If Joseph doesn't make a play on the ball, he is capable of unleashing brutal hits that separate the receiver from the ball on arrival. His willingness to help in run support makes him a do-it-all safety that can play in the box or as the single high safety in cover 3, cover 1 and robber.
When Joseph is able to get his hands on the ball, it often results in a turnover, and he instantly becomes an offensive player attempting to turn his interception into 6-points. Joseph is dangerous with the ball in his hands, which allows him to contribute as a kick returner, too.
The overall assessment of Joseph's film is that he is an elite level safety that should turn into an impact player at the next level. He has the hips, feet and technique to line up over the slot in man, plays the run extremely well and has elite range from his safety position. There is nothing this young man can't do, due to his tremendous speed, athleticism and toughness.
