Devonta Smith

We need to pick up some guys with his type of athleticism.

That's why I love Deejay. We need some more fast-twitch, more speed.
 
He will be one of our saviors AND play for a winner!!!

Unofficially visited for the UNC game. That has to be a good sign

Or, given how we played, perhaps not. :monkey-serious: All depends on whether he views himself as a savior or if he wants to play for a winner.

He seems to be interested in playing time and system that will let him get the ball in his hands. That is our edge over Bama. So the more we can keep getting Richards involved and show Smith he will get to do that next year and his entire time here the better. Just keep selling him that we are doing it with a freshman now and Smith's spot is currently filled by a senior who will not be here next year.

He'll get the ball early on, play early and he'll say that you give him the chances that our wrs had and he'll win. The plat on the field isn't hurting UM in recruiting
 
It's from an LSU perspective written by two LSU Crootin' analysts from Scout (basically don't trip off no mention of Miami)

John Garcia Jr.: "Back and forth we go...Smith had been a 'Bama lock since virtually the moment he backed off of his Georgia commitment in January, but everything else has fluctuated plenty.

The Crimson Tide, with his close friend Shyheim Carter on the roster along with Jeremy Pruitt and Sam Petitto losing red and black for crimson and white, helped UA get out to a massive lead for his signature come February 1.

LSU made a push before Miles was fired before fading out of his top group. The Tigers are back in the mix following the coaching change, but just how much? Time is on the in-state school's side for sure.

"Even with LSU's apparent surge, Smith selecting any program but Alabama would be a fairly large surprise in the college football recruiting world.

While the push-back from an initial commitment date of August 15 kept others in the race, there is a notion UA's lead for the five-star is somewhat insurmountable.

It's never easy to pluck top prospects from Louisiana, but Nick Saban has been able to do it on the most consistent basis and landing the dynamic Smith in a cycle when the wide receiver position has been prioritized could lead to his biggest Pelican State haul yet."

Embody: "Probably the most interesting battle on this list just because of how long is left until Devonta Smith announces, but as of now, the Tide are the likely leader still for the 5-star receiver's signature.

LSU reentered the mix as soon as Ed Orgeron was named interim coach with Dameyune Craig reconnecting, explaining some things, and secured a visit from Smith for the Ole Miss game, which was his first time at Tiger Stadium. LSU being close by allows Smith to pop over whenever he feels like it.

The staff will push for an official visit after the season to make an even bigger push and impression on the Amite product, but will it be enough? In September, Smith said for LSU to really get back into it for him it would take, "a lot," and he repeated himself a few times on that.

So far, LSU has been doing its best to not allow the No. 1 player in Louisiana escape the Tigers' grasp. As one source put it, "he's a kid that needs to be a Tiger."

The same can be said for Dylan Moses too, but LSU just didn't show enough love under Les Miles. That won't be an issue under Orgeron's direction, who puts the full court press on just about anyone he targets with constant contact from the entire staff. This one isn't over and luckily for LSU, there's still plenty of time."
