Can Steed's dad fill us in on the LSU interest?
Click to expand...

LSU has been selling him on the opportunity of coming in and playing as a true freshman. They don't have any LB's after converting to a 3-4 defense. They currently have a true freshman starting at LB, two converted DE's, and a Senior. He is still committed and says he is just mainly focusing on having a great senior campaign. I was the one that actually thought he should visit those campuses to have something to compare to Miami.

How bout Texas?? What are they selling him??

He does not hold an offer from Texas, we were there for Texas relays and decided to take an unofficial visit to check out their facilities. They haven't tried to sell him on anything but they do have some nice facilities. Nothing more to that story.

Wow. Really?? There's an article on 247 saying he has 'high' interest in Texas. I tell ya these publishers are funny

I don't subscribe to 247 so I haven't read the article but he did tell me how much he liked the athletic facilities at UT. They haven't offered him so I would take that article as a grain of salt.
 
Its right for kids to check out their opportunities. I see no problem with it. It will be fierce competition at LB in the next 2/3 years. I believe competition makes everyone better but that is not for everyone

Richt needs to cut some commits loose of they want to play games. I guess Richt is still recruiting like he was in UGA. In south florid there is a saying... You don't want to be the first school a kid is commited to- you want to be the 3rd.

Hate when kids "commit" and then start the recruitment process. We really need to get away from accepting those kind of commitments in the future because we always get burned. I love Clemson's approach where once you commit, they pull your offer if you take visits.

Are you equally upset by schools who accept commits and then pull the scholarship or slow play a kid?

I understand the logic behind what Clemson does.....basically is saying "Don't commit unless you are ready", which all these kids should do....explore all your options before giving a committment

That's great in theory, but these kids still get lots of contact from other staffs telling them how great they are even after they commit, and some of them flip. ****, would you want to hear Richt say that he stopped recruiting a dude because he'd committed to Clemson?

Playing time is all good but I think your kid can come here and play as well. Time to get LSU out of south Florida, as a central grad I want Steed in Miami. Make it happen

The answer to your last question is **** to the no. Clemson, nor anyone for that matter, stops recruiting elite recruits when they look around after a verbal.

As.for Slaton at the DT position, that short video isn't much to go on. He doesn't show a lot of anything other, just a straight forward bull rush with slightly above average quickness off the line at his size. Slightly is the key word.

Anyone familiar with the team, did he often play DT or was this a one time deal since it was IMG?

Let's not jump the gun on anything. He still needs to show the world that he is fully recovered from his injury and that he has improved physically and mentally from his sophomore season. I have always stated that CMR and company have every right to re-evaluate him as a prospect during this season as he will be doing the same to him and the staff also. He will also be in attendance for the UM spring game. I honestly think that the tide is turning for the U and I like what the staff is doing this off season. It's great to see the young LB's competing. I would love for my son to be a part of the new U, I also want him to be comfortable with his decision because he will have to live with it for the rest of his life. If the U wins, I'm sure they will have first dibs on what ever recruit they choose.

Also we can officially add Todd Harris to our prospect board

Head coach Mark Richt is personally handling Harris' (6-0, 180) recruitment and that has him more than curious about stepping foot in Coral Gables.

"I haven't heard from Coach Richt for maybe a month but we've talked about certain things," Harris said. "I touched base to see if I still had the offer and he said I did for sure. They're definitely a school I want to check out so that visit will probably be this summer. I'm interested in seeing the campus, the city, and meeting the staff. I'll find out about who's leaving before I would be coming in."

Running through the pros and cons is very common evaluation method among prospects. Harris has done just that in examining the Hurricanes.

"It's nice weather out there, the 'U' has good football tradition, and a good group of coaches," Harris said. "They send guys to the league basically every year so all of those are positives. Negatives, I'm not too sure, I don't see any with their program right now. Miami is nothing but positives, at least in my view."

Harris has ten other BCS offers and it's an impressive list of Arizona State, Arkansas, Georgia, Louisville, LSU, Michigan, Mississippi State, Notre Dame, Ole Miss, and Tennessee. A few have peaked his interest but that won't solidify until later.

"It's not so much of a top three with LSU, Ole Miss, and Mississippi State, but they're the coolest ones," Harris said. "I should get to see Ole Miss in June for the first time but that only came up because I'm already attending the Elite 150 Camp in Oxford. Other than that, I want to visit Alabama, maybe Tennessee, TCU, Florida, Miami, and Florida State. I'm not too sure on dates but some of those will happen because I'm in that state for another reason."

Harris has taken nine unofficials to see the Tigers, plus single trips to Alabama, Georgia, and Mississippi State. Proximity is on his mind but not as the number one factor.

"I'm making sure I have a good relationship with the coaches and somewhere that I'm comfortable," Harris said. "Playing time is a major thing, I want to get out there early and not be that guy sitting the bench for two years. My family travels a lot so that's something I have no problem with. Then again, it would be nice to have my parents watching games and make it easier on them."

Would be nice to know what position he plays.

Some updates from things i have seen on other sites.

-Anthony Mcfarland said when he realeases a top 5 miami will definitely make the cut. Loved the visit and is planning to commit in january at one of the all-star games, if not then it will be nsd.

-Sean davis cb from southridge who miami led for and almost commited a couple of times now has uf leading. Said he might make a decision this summer.

-Steed visited lsu and said he is still commited right now but lsu gave him some to think about and lsu is right up there with miami.

-Brini said his recruitment is coming down to a um-uf battle. Might decide before his senior season.

-Marco wilson got miami and uf tied at the top.

-Staff is recruiting slaton now but dont know how hard. Slaton says michigan leads and is hearing from miami and tennessee consistently.
He prefers to play dt and Is open to any school that will let him play dt.

-Herbert still has uf leading.

-Notre dame is pushing for burns and he seems to be feeling them too. Says he is still commited but nd is right behind miami. Is planning on taking a ov to nd when they play miami.

-Carney got miami and duke tied at the top.

-Amari Carter said duke and uk is recruiting him the hardest. Nd is showing interest and he has high interest in them and miami.

I'll say this right now without any reservations. If we can't convince Davis and Brini to come here in a year that they could basically walk in and play/start from day one and we lose them to U*** then burn down the Hecht because it's over! Period end of facking story.

I have a safety for you guys to look at. His name is Kareem Gaitor and he plays safety for Miami Edison. He is also Waynmon's first cousin and they played optimist together at the boys club. Here is his highlights, let me know what y'all think. https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=PSimxyyalVE

That last play was pure comedy. His first attempt at punting is kicked right into his linemans back which he then returns for a first down but is called back by a penalty. On his second attempt he punts it forward for about 5 yards which is returned by an up man which he then strips for a first down. Wow! lol

He might be the worst punter I've ever seen, at any level, lol

Looks like a good athlete though
