-- We've been saying for a few days now that things are pointing in the right direction between LSU and transfer corner Jarrick Bernard-Converse and nothing has changed on that front. It's a matter of when not if at this point and could be at any time now, I'm told. He would be the 12th transfer player they would add.
-- LSU had a big weekend hosting running back TreVonte Citizen, who along with Jacoby Mathews, are the two biggest high school targets remaining for the Tigers. With National Signing Day just over a week away, LSU is in a good spot with both and like Jimmy mentioned a few days ago, the confidence is growing for both.
-- I texted with tight end Danny Lewis this morning. He confirmed to me that he will be at LSU Wednesday then Friday he leaves for Florida and is staying the weekend. He's coming off an official to Alabama that he enjoyed. I have my FutureCast in on him to LSU and I plan on leaving it there until after he takes his next two visits and I hear how everything went. The LSU offer was certainly one he coveted and the Tigers are in a good spot with him with Brian Kelly visiting him last week, plus former Westgate star Kayshon Boutte sticking around in Baton Rouge may help and Mike Denbrock being the new OC at LSU, but the offers from the Gators and Crimson Tide made for an interesting recruitment down the stretch.
-- Speaking of high school targets, as a refresher, here's who the Tigers are still in the mix for: Citizen, Mathews, WR John Rutledge, WR Caleb Douglas, TE Danny Lewis, LB Harold Perkins (unlikely IMO). A few additional names that have been mentioned are linebacker TJ Dudley and DL R Mason Thomas, who told me he's considering visiting Baton Rouge but nothing is for certain just yet.
-- It sounds like the Tigers still want to add an offensive lineman, tight end and linebacker in this 2022 group, whether that's through the portal or high school prospects remains to be seen but it would probably be a bit of both. For example, if they land Danny Lewis, then I think it's unlikely they use a scholly on a transfer TE or vice versa. If they landed R Mason Thomas then he could fit into that LB spot.
-- He's who LSU has offered recently...
LSU offered Florence two days ago, but he released his top two yesterday: USC and Oregon.
