McFarland, Loston, Michael, Lipscomb, Okafor, Pratt, Walters, Brent. Quite a who's who, don't you think? They could all conceivably be Tigers due in part to Shepard's committment. McFarland will be the toughest by far as many consider him a Texas lean, although that's debatable. Loston could be tough also since we have yet to offer him and he supposedly is going to be making a decision soon. McFarland is becoming friends with all these guys and is just up the street north of Htown. Lipscomb is his teammate at Cypress Ridge and a Louisiana kid. That's a no-brainer, Shepard is already working on getting him over to LSU (of course grades are a concern here). Loston is his cousin and someone who loves the SEC. Again, no-brainer, recruiting already initiated I am sure. USC is in the early lead, so that's not great news. Michael decommitted from A&M and now lists LSU and A&M out in front of the pack. He is down the street from Shepard there in Beaumont.
Re: Domino effect coming from Texas eminent? Lipscomb is all LSU, here is his myspace link: http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=225613607 It's hard to look at I know, not sure why you wouldn't use better color choices to show text better. Supposedly so does Pratt, if anyone has a link to Pratt's myspace, please post it.
Re: Domino effect coming from Texas eminent? He knows people that leave messages in the same font color as the wallpaper. I say the kid turns out cock-eyed. Not picking on cock-eyed people, they have a place too.
Re: Domino effect coming from Texas eminent? Well, here's Shepards. http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=81656064 Les with his dad i guess.
Re: Domino effect coming from Texas eminent? This Pratt? http://profile.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=user.viewprofile&friendid=105601543
Re: Domino effect coming from Texas eminent? All of these guys are not takes. I think Michael is the highest RB on the board right now. McFarland is an obvious take, but would be a hard get. Same thing with Okafor. We may turn up the heat on Loston once we get him to camp here. Lipscomb is not a take right now, and I don't think that will change despite istsl's man crush on him. Dexter Pratt is very similar to Conner, so I don't see him as a take either.
Re: Domino effect coming from Texas eminent? I realize we're not necessarily going to take all of these with the limitation in numbers this year, but we definitely have a shot at em if we want em. Not a good year to have a limitation on scholarships.
Re: Domino effect coming from Texas eminent? McFarland and Loston would be the two I hope we end up getting due in part to the signing of Mr Shepard.
