The Atlanta Journal-Constitution

LSU has gained ground on Georgia and Florida in the recruitment of 6-foot-6, 277-pound offensive tackle Zebrie Sanders of Northmont High in Clayton, Oh.
“The visit was great and the campus was nice,” said Sanders, who witnessed LSU’s dramatic overtime loss in Baton Rouge to Arkansas on Friday. “I loved [LSU] coach [Les] Miles. He was really good.
“LSU cracked the list a little bit. I liked it down there.”
Sanders said he’s still keeping a close watch on the Dogs.
“Georgia is definitely starting to get hot,” he said. “The line works as a group a lot.”
Sanders is expected to make a commitment prior to his birthday on Dec. 4.
MSU’s Croom in Conyers
Mississippi State coach Sylvester Croom made a stop in Rockdale County late Tuesday to visit Salem quarterback Terrance Davis.
“Coach Croom and [defensive line] coach [David] Turner were just at my house,” Davis said Tuesday evening. “Everything went good. Ever since coach Croom’s been there, I’ve liked Mississippi State.”
Davis, who has already committed to MSU, attended last weekend’s Egg Bowl between Ole Miss and Mississippi State in Starkville.
“The game was crazy and the fans were enthusiastic,” he said.
Davis said Florida is the only team that could pry him away from the Bulldogs.
“I’m still curious about Florida,” he said. “They still call me every week. I hope to get an offer when I get down there for an official visit in January.
“As of my right, Mississippi State is my option and I’m fine with that. If Florida offers me, I’ll take a look at them.”
Creekside’s Parks says he’s still Tallahassee-bound
Creekside cornerback Terrance Parks downplayed recent reports that he is reconsidering a commitment he made to Florida State earlier this year.
Parks was a guest of Auburn during the Tigers’ 17-10 victory over rival Alabama on Saturday at Jordan-Hare Stadium.
“I just took my official to Auburn to see what it’s like,” Parks said. “I’m still going to Florida State.”
Parks admitted that the FSU coaching staff was a bit on edge when they learned about his visit to Auburn.
“We let them know we were going to Auburn before we went,” he said. “But they were telling me to hurry up and get back.
“It’s all good.”
