TE

[secneahog]

Glenn Beal, tight end from Louisiana, John Curtis High school, offered by Arkansas. 

Probably moved on from Luke Ford, now we're on this guy. 6'5 245 with a whose who offer list.

Glad to see Coach Smith is his lead recruiter. 

This kid can do it all also. Love how we lose a stud at TE, and simply go get on another stud from Louisiana, from a high school that produces elite talent every year.

Watch his highlight video, very impressive.

Derrick Munson running down Beal.

I'm not going to hold my breath, but he'd be a great replacement for Ford.

I'm hearing there's a lot of interest from BOTH sides. As there should be.

It'd be wonderful if we could get him.

Yes sir,  LOVE seeing Coach Smith as his lead recruiter.  Love that he's from Louisiana and lswho doesn't utilize the TE spot well at all.

If we can snag him, losing Ford would sting a bit less. Ford still should be a priority. He's one of the best in the nation.

Odds of getting a de-commit to re-commit are very, very low.

I want to hop on that train of thought, but remains to be seen with a new coach in Ed O and new OC in Matt Canada. During Orgeron's stint at Ole Miss and his interim year at USC, the TE was virtually nonexistent. Last year at Pitt under Canada however, their TE was their second-leading receiver in receptions, yards, and touchdowns.

I will say though, in that photo Beal definitely passes the eyeball test.

He ain't coming back from my viewpoint, time to move on.

I know it doesn't happen often and I wonder if UA is still actively recruiting Ford.  The TE position is one that I'm not worried about having inferior talent at.  I think we'll always be good there.  Hopefully, we can get another Henry next year.

I suspect when the coaching staff learns that you wish to "window shop" while you're on your way to Georgia, the trust factor is very low.

RD made it clear when on the radio yesterday morning that CBB and staff make it crystal clear that they do not want a commitment unless you are sure you are fully in. Luke agreed to those conditions when they took the commitment per RD. No other visits, no other flirting, just be committed and work to bring in others.

RD said the staff would stay in touch with Ford but will probably move on since Ford broke that covenant.

Personally I would rather build a bridge to John Curtis High but in a perfect world I'd love to have both.

like who we have at TE already would prefer to see a couple more LB  commit

Somehow we always seem to turn up short on LBs so I would definitely have to agree. And we're in the 3-4 now so we have to have plenty of bodies

Maybe, LSU doesn't have a good history of putting TEs in the NFL.  In fact, http://www.pro-football-reference.com/schools/lsu/drafted.htm only list 2 drafted since 2000.

Hogs have 5 since 2010.

[The Hawg Marshal]

Well we made his top 6.

He put WPS and WooPig. That MUST mean he's wearing a red tie

Well in the picture he's looking back at LSU and Bama like, "so long, suckers" and the Hogs are nipping at his heels. So yeah, with the WPS and the WooPig along with the Red Tie we are in like Flynn.
