Saw a retweet on DS about AY saying not even his mother knows where he is going. Does anybody really have any evidence for good feelings on him or i it mostly just based circumstances, you know like, who got late visits, etc.?

IMO, we still need another DT and LB to fill this class out. I would be happy with Moore, Louis, Adams, Young, & Darby but it would leave me feeling unfulfilled.

I know Grimes, Loeffler, & Trooper were supposed to visit him late last week.

No idea what happened after that tho.

Oh, I agree. DT for SURE. We have not done as well as I hoped and thougt there and we still have neither the depth nor real size we need at LB.

Most of all right now we NEED Goldman. It is not just a want, would be nice. It is something we need. Last year, LSU's Dline was unbelievably deep. We have to develope that type of depth and rotation as well.

Another question...I'm just trying to generate some ideas...but does Liggins to LSU help us with Kwon at all? I know LSU isn't full, but they are at 21 with him, and they are waiting on Toshiro plus some others I assume. I don't know how much they could back count though and they had plenty of EE's.

No. Kwon has made his mind up already. My gut says Alabama, but there's a lot of LSU smoke.

Him picking AU would be a total shocker.

Still haven't. Doesn't look like we're going to.

Of course, as soon as I type that, I'm sure they have a change of heart.

I think we need another passrush DE in this class. Last season showed how precarious depth really is in the SEC. President seems like he will be a good SDE, need someone for the weakside.

Even though it is up in the air on how we finish out with this class. I have to admit, it sure is fun to be in the game with so many top players. It is a far cry from what had been happening.

I am not saying Tubs didn't score a few good ones, but this staff has been working it with the top players the last couple of years. It makes for walking on a tightrope over Niagra, but that is what makes it exciting as well.

Overall, I believe we will have a solid to very good class depending on how we finish. I appreciate those who have and are bringing info from whatever sources you may have. Also, the insight from those of you who are more engaged in the recruiting process then I usually am.

I don't think he will pick Bama with only a greyshirt offer. It's looking like LSU.

I agree, but don't underestimate the fact that Kwon has a serious knee injury and isn't going to be playing anywhere next year anyway. Saban may have sold him on grayshirting to rehab his knee.

Just food for thought.

He was the one guy I wanted Bama to sign. I think he would be a good get for any school. Don't really understand why he is still on the board.

If you ever need a methaphorical kick in the nuts, go back and look at that 2008 signing class.

Especially since it looks like we aren't getting Kwon. Might as well add an in-state LB the caliber of Brown...
