Just thought ya'll might be interested, here are some of the current targets that have LSU curently as their top college choice: 4 Star Chris Mitchell WR 6-2 260 4 Star Jared White WR 5-11 170 4 Star Jonas Mouton DB 6-2 212 3 Star E.J. Shankle RB 5-10 180 3 Star Dexter Manley II DE 6-4 260 3 Star Russell Okung OL 6-5 250
it would be awesome if we could land e.j. shankle's teammate leonard hewitt. He is a safety, but he is a little on the short side.
I think he would make a better CB than a safety for the reason you mentioned. He was REAL high on us during the summer and almost committed back then, but seemed to have cooled off a bit during the early parts of the season. It appears he's back to LSU (or maybe I'm just looking too deeply into it and he never cooled off on LSU, but rather laid back and focused on his season). With Bani changing to PSU, we lost a true LB but since we have a couple of "tweeners" (Clemons, McCray, Giddeons), getting Hewitt would allow one of those 3 to definately make a move to OLB. Or, Hewitt could just become a CB and certainly help us our there as well. Either way, it would be nice to get Hewitt in the unfortunate event that either Jai or Cox chose to go elsewhere. But hopefully, Hewitt, Jai and Cox are all LSU-bound! That would certainly fill our CB needs!
