re: Class of 2015 Recruiting MEGATHREAD - Twilight Edition

Jimmy Smith, NOLA.com writer, makes his prediction on Charlot: I highlighted some other interesting tidbits in his piece:

Patterson wide receiver Daylon Charlot has been back-and-forth between LSU and Alabama for quite some time. The 6-foot, 180-pound receiver decommitted from the Crimson Tide a while ago, but that hasn't stopped Alabama coaches from recruiting him.

The lowdown:

Charlot was disappointed that it took LSU longer than other programs to offer him and the Tigers have been battling the sour taste in his mouth throughout the whole process. LSU wide receiver coach Adam Henry has kept things interesting by making leaving Louisiana a difficult decision for Charlot. He was supposed to take an official visit to Miami this past weekend, but cancelled the visit after Alabama took a firm stance about his impending travel plans.

The prediction: Alabama

The Tigers were never able to overcome the issues surrounding his recruitment, despite its attempts to do so. There are rumors circulating that Alabama WR coach Billy Napier may be bolting Tuscaloosa after National Signing Day, taking the wide receiver coaching job at Florida, but Charlot doesn't seem overly concerned at this point. Then there is the fact that Alabama is still controlling where he visits, which also leads me to believe that they are still steering the ship.

Confidence level: 75%

I've been leaning Alabama more and more over recent weeks as his final decision draws near. It's still a possibility that LSU could sign him on Wednesday, but nobody seems that confident in it happening.

LINK Napier leaving would suck. Especially since the Bears announced they are keeping Groh.
