Thursday afternoon I interviewed wide receiver Sheddrick Davis (6'3", 200, 4.6) from Central of Baton Rouge. Davis has a 2.9 GPA and will be taking his ACT in February. Davis is the real deal and will be very highly recruited. The first team class 5-A All-State wide receiver is hearing from schools nationwide including LSU, Alabama, Nebraska, Stanford, Texas A&M and Arizona. Davis would like to take official visits in 2009 to LSU, Alabama, Texas A&M and Texas Tech, but is not sure about the other two at this time. In the 2008 season, Davis had 61 receptions for 894 yards and 14 touchdowns. Davis is planning on attending Summer camps at Alabama, LSU and Texas A&M. He has been invited to Junior Day at LSU and will attend. Davis has also been invited to Junior Day at Texas A&M, Nebraska and Alabama. Davis' goals are to improve on his time in the 40 and improve his pass routes.

Gillum is going to be a national recruit for the 2010 signing class. Gillum is receiving phone calls and letters from LSU, Alabama, Georgia, Oregon, and Florida to name a few schools. The speedy running back told me that he would take official visits to LSU and Alabama and is uncertain about the other three visits. Gillum rushed for over 1,400 yards and scored 20 touchdowns in the 2008 season. Gillum also returns kicks and returned three for touchdowns this past season and set his offense up in great field position after several returns. Gillum will attend a Nike Combine this Spring and will camp at LSU this Summer. Gillum has been invited to attend LSU's Junior Day on January 31 and will attend.

Last Friday, January 16, I interviewed Churphy Stewart (DT, 6'2", 272, 4.9) from Breaux Bridge. Stewart made All-District, All-Acadiana and first team All-State in 2008 and reminds football fans of former LSU All-American defensive tackles Glenn Dorsey and Booger McFarland. Stewart was not sure of his GPA and has not yet taken his ACT. I was told by a Breaux Bridge assistant coach that Stewart would be very close academically. One coach from an opposing team in district 5-4 A told me that it is almost impossible to block Stewart without double teaming him. In the 2008 season, Stewart was credited with 85 tackles, five quarterback sacks, 15 tackles behind the line of scrimmage, and six forced fumbles. He also recovered two fumbles and had one interception. Stewart told me he is receiving mail from LSU, FSU, Oregon, Northwestern of the Big Ten and several other schools. Stewart would like to take official visits to LSU, Florida, Alabama and Auburn after the 2009 season and will be attending one LSU Summer camp in July. Stewart has been invited to Junior Day at LSU and will attend.

In football, Swilling is hearing from Connecticut, Oklahoma, Florida, Ga Tech, LSU, Georgia and Florida, to name a few. Swilling would like to take official visits to USC, UCONN, Oklahoma and Florida. Swilling did not include LSU when naming schools. Swilling had 15 tackles behinds the line of scrimmage, three interceptions and one forced fumble. In basketball, Swilling is receiving a lot of attention from Florida, Connecticut, LSU, USC, Ga Tech and Tulane. Swilling is not sure at this time what sport he will play in college. His goals for 2009 in football are to win district and state and to improve his game. Swilling has been invited to attend Junior Day at LSU but is not planning on attending at this time.

My first interview was with Eric Reid (S, 6'2" 195, 4.5) from Dutchtown. Reid takes honor classes at Dutchtown, has a 4.7 GPA and made a 21 on the ACT. Reid was not sure how many tackles he made in the 2008 season but did say that he returned five interceptions for touchdowns. Reid, who is going to be one of the most highly-recruited players in the South in 2009, told me that he is receiving mail from LSU, Alabama, Tulane, Stanford, FSU, Georgia, and Texas A&M, to name a few. Reid was not sure what schools he will be visiting after the 2009 regular season, but did say that he would like to visit LSU, Alabama, and FSU. Reid made All-Parish and All-Metro and has plans to attend Summer camps at LSU and Alabama. Reid's goals are to lead his team to the state championships in 2009. Reid has been invited to attend Junior Day at LSU on January 31. Dutchtown defensive backfield coach Chris Carrier told me during the 2008 season that Reid has the talent to be the as good as he wants to be.

My last interview was with defensive end Jordan Allen from West Monroe (6'6", 248, 4.85). Allen was fun to talk to, like all the players I have interviewed so far. Allen has a 3.0 GPA and will take the ACT test in April. It is hard to find great defensive end prospects, but Allen will be one of the nation's best and will be very highly recruited. Allen was a little modest when I asked him the names of schools he was hearing from and schools he might visit after the 2009 season. He did say that he has already been offered by Nebraska and that Coach Les Miles told him he wanted him to be a Tiger. Allen is also receiving mail from UCLA, Michigan, Auburn, Georgia, and La Tech. He said he would like to take visits to Nebraska, LSU, Georgia, Ole Miss and Auburn. In the 2008 season, the big defensive end recorded 68 tackles (10 of which were behind the line of scrimmage), nine sacks, seven blocked passes, three blocked field goals and one blocked punt that was returned for a touchdown. Allen also throws the discuss and shot-put. Allen's goals for the 2009 season are to have more tackles, to make All-State again and to lead his team back to the Super Dome. Allen does plan to attend Summer camp at LSU and has been invited to attend Junior Day.

Broadway will not go to LSU unless Shepherd is made into a WR. Too many QB's and he has already stated he has Bama in the lead. LSU may not have a choice but to let him go. I say we get him.

Others on my list are Sanders, Robinson, Ambles, C.J. Moseley, Jeremy Richardson, Milliner, Jarrick Williams, and Keenan Allen.

I think we get all those just off the top

was watching the LA Football Magazine TV Show last night. It's a local show (BR and Lafayette) with in-studio call-ins and interviews with coaches and players. I haven't seen the show in months- been busy. I watched it last night and one of the segments that will interest Bama recruiting followers was this:

Lee Bercheen is the host and travels around LA talking to players, coaches, and films these kids, sometimes his films are used by rivals,scout,and espn on their sites- for evaluation.
Last night, Terrance Broadway and his coaches from Capitol HS (A Baton Rouge High School) were on the show for some segments- for 30 minutes.

Broadway is a 2010 QB prospect from LA. He has accepted an invitation to the US Army Game for next year. He is in rivals top 150 2010 rankings. He is a 6'-1" versatile QB playing in a spread offense. They discussed their spread offense last night on the show.
The HC of Capitol HS is from LA but played at Tenn. STate. he said one of the coaches at Alabama was on the staff during his playing days.
Also, another Capitol Coach, Terrell McGill, played at LSU during Saban's tenure. By the stories he told, around 1999-2004. What was interesting was- This guy is originally from Miami and discussed how "a prospect's decision on college should not be based on mama and daddy but based on what's best for the kid, no matter of distance. You don't want to go somewhere that was influenced by parents, family, and friends, if it doesn't pan out then sometimes kids blame the family. Go to the school that's best for you."
Something to keep in mind with Broadway's recruitment in the later months.

Lee asked Terrance Broadway who his top 5 was-
LSU AND ALABAMA are his top 2.
Then..
Oregon, Florida, and texas.
Broadway said he went to Bama's 7 on 7 camp this past summer. He liked it over there. When he got back from the camp, he got his Bama scholly. HE said LSU is expected to offer after NSD (FEB.). His coaches have been talking to LSU. Also, says his grades are looking good and he is on the right track for qualifying.
Will take officials sometime in april for "junior days" to LSU, Alabama, and Texas. Right now, that is all he has planneed for officials on "junior days". Will camp at LSU and Alabama this summer, may go to another school. Doesn't know which camp is the third option.
He said he likes FLA and their spread offense. He compared it to his high school's spread offense. This is Very interesting.
Im not sure FLA. is heavy on him. Urban stated he doesn't recruit LA because it's hard to get them away from LSU- kind of like a waste of time. I know for Saban, it's different.

Lee mentioned LA will have 3 top , blue chippers at QB for 2010. One is from NEville HS and the other is from Edna Karr HS. I will research these two and post info. if it pertains to Bama recruiting. Also, Lee said Broadway is the best of the three right now. Predicts Broadway as the top recruit in LA for 2010. Also, Lee stated how Eddie Lacy, Darrington Sentimore (BAMA), and Michael Ford (LSU) SHOULD have been in one of the major all star games. I agree. both are great players. I've seen them play in person and on TV- amazing.

Okay, that is all i have from this show. I will post any new info. i gather from other recruiting gurus out there that may have caught the show last night. If you live in the BR and/or lafayette area, it's on COX 4- Tuesdays at 6:30pm. good recruiting show as well as High School show.

Alright, that's all i have on Broadway. Im out.
