Adams seems locked into LSU, or at least our staff is under that impression.

I can see that and most of it is from LSU turning up the heat

I still think Hootie ends up at LSU, but not until Adams is in the fold 100%, however if Hampton stays with ole miss and Hootie actually takes a visit to oxford who knows what could happen. All I know is I would be surprised if Hootie went back to bama.

Have no idea what to think at this point about Hootie. I'm willing to bet OM gets him in to OV ASAP after the DP ends regardless of Hampton simply because they need bodies, where he fits in Chavis' D (I'm assuming as a roaming OLB) for LSU isn't in as dire of a need. About Bama, I can tell you with certainty that numbers situation doesn't benefit him if he's not an EE and at Bama he's a more pure fit at SS, but he won't start next yr, but Bama rotates and plays more S than the other 2 schools (played 3 S at least I'd say 95% this past yr). I'm not entirely sure he understands the difference or even if that was what turned him off I don't know that. Also have to keep in mind though that he is a La kid so always a tough pull, but I am willing to bet he ends up at LSU, we'll see.

And I'll go with the crystal ball on Hampton. Bama.

Good pick
