After leaving UT camp this afternoon, the #2 RB in the nation narrowed his list to 8 teams with the VOLS not making the cut.
Does this really surpris anyone considering UT signed three bad mofos in Bryce Brown, David Oku, and Toney Williams in 2009? We willl likely get a good 4 star, but don't expect a top 2 back signing with the VOLS in 2010.
Glad he made the trip with his two teammates though, who are both top 50 players in the nation and bookends on the Byrnes defensive line. Hopefully he helped make them feel at home.
Auburn, FSU, and SCAR were thought to be his leaders, but Lattimore said today that may not be the case.
He told The Big Spur "Auburn is no longer my leader. After the visit I thought about it. I have no leader right now, but I have narrowed it down to eight schools. My final eight schools are Auburn, South Carolina, North Carolina, Florida State, Alabama, Penn State, Clemson and Maryland."
If you ask me, Auburn will wind up with the #1 RB Lache Seastrunk and could get Lattimore as well. A lot of chatter is going around that Seastrunk is a lock to Auburn after "Big Cat Weekend" and his comments since make it very believable. It's even been said that Seastrunk showed what side of the fence he was on by participating in some Saban bashing that got nothing but laughs.
2010 is full of top RBs and like always most will wind up in the SEC. It will be ridicules if Lattimore and Seastrunk both sign with SEC schools, considering Bryce Brown, Trent Richardson, David Oku, Jarvis Giles all signed with conference schools in 2009.
