However, this just seems like a free trip for this dude. Maybe but it's no sweat off AU's back financially. Each school gets 55 OVs each year & most rarely go over 40. The money for OVs isn't used for anything else. Might as well bring him in & see if Porter can tap into his Louisiana magic & sell early PT hard.

ellitor 33,093 Posted January 19, 2018 Share Posted January 19, 2018 Quote Alabama, Auburn no longer hosting Kelvin Joseph The change to Joseph’s official visits come as a result of a concerted push from the LSU coaching staff and their visit to Scotlandville (La.) High School a week ago. The coaches were well-aware of Joseph’s plans, but persuaded him in another direction. “It’s over with,” Joseph’s mother, Latoria Stewart, said of his recruitment. “It’s the second time around, so I think that’s it. I think we made our final decision.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ellitor 33,093 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Keith is trying to find out more. He would need a waiver if he enrolls this semester & wants to play in 2019. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He would need a waiver if he enrolls this semester & wants to play in 2019. Being able to play this year would be absolutely wild. Especially considering he's still got 6 candidates. Though, it's probably fair to say Grambling and Maryland should be crossed out if he really wants to stay in the big leagues on top tier teams. Starkville is trash. Kentucky was okay last year but I don't think that would be a great decision either for him considering their current trajectory is likely downward. Should be us vs. Florida for him but I wonder why he's leaving in the first place. We've got some great corners so if he left for playing time it might not be a stellar decision. Quote Played in 11 games with no starts … Recorded 12 tackles and one pass breakup … Also saw action on special teams on LSU’s coverage units … Had career-best four tackles in win over Ole Miss … Broke up a pass on third-and-five situation at midfield just before halftime that forced Georgia to punt in LSU’s win over the No.2-ranked Bulldogs … Had three tackles vs. Southeastern and then against both Auburn and Louisiana Tech. http://www.lsusports.net/ViewArticle.dbml?DB_OEM_ID=5200&ATCLID=211696236 Honestly, this looks like a wasted freshman year to me. He would have been better off red shirting than making roughly one tackle per game and a single pass deflection. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The depth ain't great at either position after this season. And the only reason I mentioned a scenario about this year is because I know that would have been the 1st question someone would have asked. I don't think it's a real possibility. As for why he left, he's been disciplined before, having to sit out there bowl game, so he may just not be a good fit down there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, Smoke and Sherwood should do well for us but the added depth would be great. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mikey 16,589 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 A good look would have to be taken at just what went wrong at LSU. We don't want to go out and buy trouble. Yes, we've had good luck with guys that stubbed their toes elsewhere, but I think we did our due diligence on them. We should do it in this case too.

Some kids are ok with redshirting, some aren't. We'd have to know the details before putting much stock into whether a mistake was made or not.

auburn4ever 1,266 Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 Sounds like it would be better if Auburn's passes on this kid. However, I could be wrong. Who knows. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
