if you truly had 1a & 1b in mind and 1a loses your future coordinator and position coach then come on. This looks more like a 1a and 2z battle.

Not gonna be greedy. Give me Allen or St. Louis. If you want to give me both, I won't say no though.

Before Bobo and the O-line coach left for CSU, I wouldn't have gave us much of a shot. I think we end up landing Pat Allen now.

Why would a recruit care so much about a GA? They can't stay more than a few years and they'll jump at the first paying job.

That's one helluva a backup plan. Allen is a better prospect as a LT than Richmond is. I think we would've been all over recruiting this kid even if Richmond was committed to us.

Do you really think Allen is a better Prospect at Tackle than Richmond or like me pissed of that he was try to recruit our commits to Ole Piss when he came here every other Saturday trying to pull them to Ole Piss.:banghead2:

Outside of Rivals, the other services don't have that much love for Richmond. Jones is a higher rated tackle than Richmond on some services (247 for sure).

Allen is the best OT we have been on from day 1. He is a natural LT. St. Louis is a good LT prospect as well. Richmond would have eventually played LT here, but I think he starts out at RT no matter where he goes. That's the course of action many teams take these days. Start a very promising OT at RT and then move him to LT after a few years. Texas A&M is notorious for this. So, with that said, Hall/Jones may fit this bill for us down the road. Neither are ready to play LT in the SEC, but maybe after a few years at RT, they can move to LT and be effective.

At this point, I'd take Allen and St. Louis over anyone on our board, outside Martin. If we ended today with Allen, St. Louis, and Martin, we'd be set going forward.

I'd agree with most of that. Richmond for sure will be on the right side at Ole Miss for the foreseeable future with Tunsil on the left.

I think Martin is probably a guy that will be playing on Sundays and would be a huge addition to our defense but at the same time I can't see anyone being a bigger get for this team than a tackle right now. In any case, any of those guys would be huge additions.

Any chance of getting some updated measurables for Allen? 6' 4" doesn't like OT size.../blue font.

I am not a coach, but I know a local high school assistant with a state championship program. They scrimmaged MUS this year, and he told me that Richmond was good and athletic. But he also said that he wasn't a lock to be a college tackle. He said that he wasn't quite as tall and long as some great tackles are. Just info given to me.

Nothing that is not already in here ~ he's watching their coaching hires closely, he likes the family atmosphere at both schools, and that he likes the coaching continuity here.

"It shows me how consistent they are," Allen said. "The guys they are bringing in is going to be something special at Tennessee. I can see the coaches and players pulling off big things there the next several years."

It's the family environment," Allen said. "(Georgia and Tennessee) both have great coaching staffs. Both of them are family environments. I just felt like I was a part of a family at Tennessee. The coaches really care about their players. They worried about developing men and not just players. It's nice to see how they care about one another."
