Had offers from Arizona state, Colorado, Houston, Memphis, Michigan State, Mississippi State, Penn State, Tennessee.

His current rating on 247 is 0.8739 which if he signs will be the highest ranked recruit in program history and by a decent margin. For reference out previous high was Dion Ray at 0.8640

According to 247, he would be the highest rated recruit we have ever signed.

Awesome, but still a three star (a"high" star though yes). I really thought we would get our first 4 star this year (I know we have had four stars TRANSFER to UL), but with 95% or roster returning - including a hot coach who has been pursued in various degrees by 6 SEC programs in the past 2years, I thought it would happen.

I think he understands that, hence the "would be". But yes, that is a big distinction. Hopefully the would be turns into is.

Hope we can hang on to him. It's great to see UL competing for those guys.

I knew Dion Ray was a big get for us; however, I'd have figured Napier would have brought in higher rated talent than him by now (just an assumption, as I don't pay attention to recruiting ratings).

But man...just makes you wonder why he couldn't get on the field for meaningful time.
