6'2 310 5.0 4* out of VA has LSU in his top 4 along with Tenn, NC State, and Bama. Says LSU and Tenn are on him the hardest and he likes both even though he has not been on the campuses yet. http://louisianastate.scout.com/a.z?s=107&p=2&c=853417
In a new update he said LSU has been his dream school since he was 10 and he played with LSU every time he played college football video games. He loves Brick Haley and plans to visit sometime in the near future.
His teammate QB Sims committed to Bama which helps LSU and Bama. If Sims went to Tenn that would have been a bigger draw from him and look for Bama to get more in the picture. If I had to guess I would say LSU leads at this point.
He said he will be visiting VT, PSU, and LSU among others this summer and wants to make a decision after the summer. When asked if he wants to follow QB Philip Sims to Bama he said that wouldn't be a factor and he wouldn't mind playing against him.
Kind of a surprise but Tenn knocked themselves out of the running for Hailes. He said the visit he just went on was unorganized and he did not get to see everything. So it comes down to LSU, PSU, NC State, and VT and he is expected to make a decision soon but he may now wait until after he can take official visits. He will not make it to LSU this summer, so LSU will have to be one of his official visits in the fall. I wouldn't be surprised if he commits soon and then takes all of his official visits. I think PSU could be the leader.
