I was just looking at the commitments on espn.com, and i thought this was interesting.

If Smith had another 25 pounds on him we might be talking about one of the best inside linebackers in this year's class.

He gonna play good up in them hills.  Good get for the Hogs.

I talked to his coach, Robert Toomer and he thought Jelani had the speed and frame to be successful in the SEC. Coach Toomer played under Saban at LSU so he should know.

definitely an intriguing prospect

Decker will build him up.  He's one on the Hill that I think does a good job...

tomcat decker gets some kids to big though. like he did with cedric cobbs. I like decker but he needs to realize not everyone needs to be a body builder. Smith will be very good guys and it was a very wise decision to offer him this early.

I am just glad to get a kid from Louisiana, think this can be a great recruiting state for Arkansas, also think Auburn will be forced to recruit harder now because of Nick at Alabama

I think that was part of his learning process.  I haven't seen him build up kids too much in several years.  I'm basing my judgement on what he's done lately and not overall.

they've learned from the past.....thats why dmac, felix, and peyton looks leaner every year and felix even got a step faster

Smith is rated the #23 prospect in LA.  Also the state's top LB.
