Don't shoot the messenger, but here's what he said:
- Miami isn't a factor for Clarington (or anyone at Champagnat Catholic).
- Once Clarington visits LSU this summer I feel they will be in more of a driver's seat in this recruitment.
- LSU feels good about its standing with Clarington, per my contacts.
It would be interesting to hear if any staff members on this board have heard differently. Jaason Lewis is an appealing alternative as a potential move TE who could create mismatches with his athleticism.
