1) Are the following still maybes for the weekend?
Emmanuel Greene
Yusuf Corker
Obina Eze

2) Sounds like a lot of "Labruzza" about Cheyenne (thank you, thank you, I'm here all week) committing this weekend. From Ticker articles it seems like he's a real priority for LSU and that he really likes them. I get the playing time angle we're playing, but is that one you'd think is going to be a dogfight for 10 months?

3) Let's talk about the CB and S boards, as from where I'm sitting they both look really, really good from a quantity and quality standpoint. A few questions:

a) How many CBs (Corners plus Nickels) do you think they want (and does the Byrd news affect that number like it does the WR number)?

b) Fair to say the following at CB? We are public leaders for Labruzza and Corker, both of whom could do something soon. We're also in the very top group for Riep and Wade. We are also (presumed) leaders for Bonds and TJ Carter. We are big players for Clement, Donovan Johnson, Jamyest Williams, and with this visit CJ Holmes. We are not players for Poole or Leanthony Williams.

c) How many Ss do you think they want?

d) Fair to say the following at S? We are the (presumed) leaders for Gibbs and Theo Jackson. We are also players for Stevens, Robinson, and Kelly-Powell.

4) At DT, do you think we're going to push for Hutch, who continues to look good at spring camps, but might be more of a space eater than a playmaker (from my amateur eval)?

5) At RB, would you put Damon Williams in the "take" category right now? Seems like he's a player who's about to blow up, we're his (presumed) leader, and he's coming in this weekend. Obviously Akers/Chandler/Sermon/Coleman/Hayden are, but is Williams in the next "wait and see" tier with Leake and maybe a few others or would they take him now?

6) Thoughts on OL recruiting as we exit the spring? Seems like we've positioned ourselves pretty well with a board (below) that has a lot of high level players with real interest and who have been on campus at least once and recently. How many OTs and Gs do you think they'd like, and does Stewart affect that dynamic?

Trey Smith (EE)
Tony Gray
Adrian Ealy
D’Antne Demery
Kai-Leon Herbert
Kadeem Telfort
Jedrick Wills
Obinna Eze
Toryque Bateman
CJ Thorpe
Jordan Reid
Patrick Leitten
Caden Williams
Andrew Thomas
Chuck Filiaga
Riley Locklear
Jordan Tucker
Micah Clark - just named a Top 5 with Vols #5 behind Rutgers, Michigan, UNC and Mich St

7) Do you find it odd that we've heard nothing about Sears's visit? Hard to read that as a good sign one way or the other (i.e., interest from one or both sides), agree? If he's not an option than do you think they go hard after Lewis starting this weekend?

Thanks as always @P_Fortenberry
