    Re: 5Star DT William Campbell

    I agree with you totally, but there's a lot of possibilities that could unfold here, but you'd think as a competitor he'd want to play for someone who has a more likely chance of contending for a conference championship like LSU has in the SEC, and possibly a NC in the next 4 years... then be swayed because of friends. What do I know though, you know more about the recruiting part then I do.

    Ive read all the updates out there...and while it appears obvious from the previous post in this thread that WC is a UM lean, I just wanted to shed some light on what the kid is actually saying himself. I also realize that these kids are playing to the interviewer...but you gotta get your info somewhere...and MS typically tells it like it is IMO.

    Anyway...my thoughts are that UM is coming off its worst season since 1962. With that fact, it would not surprise me if this sways kids away from UM short term. On the other hand...it also wouldnt surprise me if some kids are looking away from LSU due to our recent struggles. Id bet we lose at least one potential recruit due to the way we've lost our big games this year. Still...I dont think it is as bad here as it is in Ann Arbor. Also, LSU recent success at producing big name DTs at the next level, and seeing how thin the position is looking next year HAS to be attractive to a DT like WC. Barksdale being a tiger doesnt hurt either.

    Just some thoughts.

    Dandy Don's Dec 10th update:

    It appears that LSU has slipped a little with William Campbell (DT) from Detroit.

    Wow, everyone but BayouBengal was wrong including myself. Everyone is shocked in Michigan because they have been eliminated.

    Down to Miami, LSU, and Florida.

    My guess is that it could be Miami in light of his last interview but he did say if everything works out he would love to line up next to Davenport.

    Here is his response to the question about the Davenport possibility:

    "If all goes well, I will probably most likely be down there."

    Will be announced at the AA game.

    Maybe he's just a mellow guy, but he just didn't seem that excited or enthused about his trip to Baton Rouge...

    I was thinking the same thing, he even said that Miami and UF were better visits.

    BTW, Davenport thinks he is all LSU.

    The question was how he feels about the possiblity of playing beside Davenport....

    His response: It would be great, we would tear things up. If all goes well, I will probably most likely be down there.

    I saw that video. What's great about it is that he mentioned Dubose and Campbell which leads me to believe that Campbell is abouit as likely to go to LSU as Dubose, who many feel has been an LSU lock for weeks now.
