From listening to the guys at the Opening Damien Mama needs to be added to the list as well. Reminds me of Laremy Tunsil from last season who kept Ole Miss around every time he named his top teams. Everyone continued to ignore the Rebels and then they snuck up and got him. Gotta keep a eye on this kid.

I also think Rod Taylor is gonna move up to a 5* guard prospect. Kid is dominating wherever he goes.

In '14, we will have 3 OT's in Tunsil, Golson, and Conyers. We would like to add one more from the juco ranks. Our #1 target was Jermaine Eluemunor, but he has since committed to UCLA.

There is a 4* OT inside the state that we have a good in on in Avery Gennesy. This kid was headed to ASU to play for Freeze before he came to OM. He wanted the OM scholarship offer, and was close to getting one, but didnt. State is on him hard and with who they lose off their OL, which is their only glaring weakness going into '14, they need him badly. UGA and OU have also offered him, but no idea how commitable those are. You usually dont just offer JUCO's though. He is very powerful and has the prototypical OT size, but feet are slow. I think we may end up taking him since he would be a RT (more run blocker than pass blocker) and because of the need for depth.

Our new #1 target, now that Eluemunor has committed is Dontavius Blair. He's huge at 6'8 and much lighter on his feet than Gennesy. Other spread teams are after him hard in UT and AU. UT seems to have gotten the early lead on him, but we have made this kid a priority so we will see. It's too early for me to put Blair in the list for predicted commits and if you read Gennesy's last article, you'll see the kid really wants to come to OM, so Gennesy will remain the predicted commit as of now.

I honestly dont know much about his recruitment. This is one of McCready's guys. 247 and Neil both thought we lead for him. We seem to have plenty of DT's and OG in this class, so I would doubt we put out the needed effort to flip him.

Coppage from Scout said we did. It was back in early May, but until Sims misses one of our camps or says anything differently, I will stick with Mike's word.

Edit: Im not sure why our fan base (on this board) are not optimistic about the kid. I guess its the 247 prediction deal, but that shite is a joke. Rod Taylor is now 100% OM and last week he was 52%. Sims has been to every single camp OM has had and has visited us way more than he has Bama. I know the state of LA is stacked this year, but I have a hard time believing LSU doesnt have room for this kid, but Bama does. Of course if Coppage didnt say what he said, then I'd probably think it was a long shot too.

Eh, I may add him if I have some time. The "rest" list is getting a little big. It's more reserved for kids that I believe have us in their top 3. I'm not sure we are in JuJu's

We might have room. However, when you blow off visiting because we didn't offer you when you ran a 4.8 40 for our staff a year ago, then the chances are slim of you getting an offer.

Dupre 6'4
Noil 6'0
Quinn 5'11
Upchurch(might grow into a TE) 6'3
Blacknall 6'4

That is likely our WR class. If sims really wanted an LSU offer he would come earn it. He has shown 0 initiative to earn that offer, thus we will not pursue. Whether we will have room or not.

settle down bundy. I doubt it has anything to with the OL we have committed or it looking good for Barrett. Probably nothing to do with the fact they don't think he is the best fit for our offense either.

Y'all going to take a third juco OL?
