Welp. This is embarrassing.
Good news on the receiver front: "Leslie, who is 6-feet-4 and 190 pounds, gives LSU needed size and speed at wide receiver. In seven games at Hinds last season he caught 24 passes for 517 yards and seven touchdowns, averaging 21.5 yards per reception." Video highlights
the divisional roundup is my favorite, but they're all funny
Kendell Beckwith commits to #LSU Over Alabama sbn.to/138Qo6w
— SB Nation Recruiting (@SBNRecruiting) January 4, 2013
As mentioned this morning, East Feliciana ATH Beckwith just gave his pledge to LSU over Alabama. Great to secure the top instate player. Beckwith is 6'3", 225 pounds and though he played LB in high school he could project there or at DE at the next level. Perhaps he seamlessly takes the role vacated by Kevin Minter? Who knows at this point. At any rate, an outstanding grab. We're steam rolling into NSD!
"The deal would earn Miles nearly $1.5 million per year more than he currently makes at LSU. Miles will make $3.8 million for the 2012 season, second in the SEC only to Nick Saban’s $5.4 million."
The 4-star defensive tackle from North Carolina has long desired to be a Tiger and finally got his mother's blessing after this recruiting weekend. BIG get for LSU. Greg will have a great chance to come in next season and be a part of the two deep. On ESPN, Greg said "6 of the 8 they use are leaving." I'm sure some of that is recruiting speak, because at most, I count 5, and things are still up in the air on Mingo, Logan, and Montgomery. Regardless, he'll have a chance to play. Great pick up.
LSU Basketball picked up their third 2013 commitment from point guard Tim Quarterman. Quarterman adds more star power to a class that could end up being the best for LSU in many years.
Love these videos.
