    Looks like things are looking better.

    Most likely only one more if it is someone like Nixon or Filo. But if they both wanted to commit then the staff would have some decisions to make.

    I think it depends on who is willing to commit. For example I think Nixon probably has a spot no matter what. We have what, 4 OL commits, one of whom is sort of a project...

    Ill let ISL throw his numbers at you but I would bet they are willing to take at least two more legit OL - prob one if not.

    Oh I see, because I am a tad bit concerned about our O-line depth after this season.

    OL is not a need to finish this class out, but we'd take a super prospect like this.

    It's looking more and more like Downs will be a DT. He's just too damn good.

    That leaves us with only 4 OL, of which one is a project (Williford).

    Nixon has a spot no matter what. I think the same thing holds for Sua'Filo, he tested out really well at our camp and LSU really likes this kid.

    Add on the fact he stands a good chance of not counting in this case because of a possible mormon mission, and I say we take both.

    We have a better show with the other Xavier, Sua'Filo that is, especially if we can get a visit from him.

    Filo went to the UF game in Tiger Stadium last year and made a huge impression on him. He is coming again this year for the UGA game and bringing Martinez and Wilson with him.

    Pretty late for a recruit that doesn't like the recruiting thang. :D
