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.”

Zebrie… The staff at UGA is set & solid.. Not so at LSWho.. I think it says a lot that you are considering the elite schools of the SEC, as opposed to the Big 11..
You’d look great in Red & Black.. But where ever you decide, “Welcome to the South”…

Fellows, Our new coach will embrace the Tickle Pile tradition at Tech. However we will clean it up and put our clothes back on. This should make our campus even more attractive to certain SA’s.

I heard that Florida goes back to getting the bye week before the Georgia game next year. How can the SEC keep giving them their bye week every year before they play Georgia. It definitely gives an advantage as we saw this year. The loses look lopsided in Florida’s favor but with that extra week to prepare you should win. Just my opinion but I wish the SEC would seriously take a look at this!!

Kevin, you’re right and it’s not fair at all. I don’t know how much control schools have with this open date, but UGA should definitely start a LOOOOONG streak of open dates before the cocktail party to hand it to their a*******es for fifteen years like they did to us. Great point!

I just checked Florida’s 2008 schedule and it looks like their open dates are in between LSU and UK, and also after Da U game. We get them the week after the UK game. I agree with P Dawg…we should always have our open date b4 the Cocktail Party.

It looks like we’ll lose one game next year, maybe two, but you never know. The stretch from lsu through auburn is pretty brutal although kentucky should go back to their 20 year stretch of ineptitude. Tenn. will be easy after week off and revenge factor plus they lose a lot especially in QB. Arizona ST. won’t know what hit them. on aonther note… What other big recruits are we in the running for? Any LBs or other OL?
