Deon Cain note

[Hale McGranahan]

Just wanted to get out in front of this before it gets too big on here.

Mike Farrell of Rivals.com tweeted earlier this afternoon that he heard Deon Cain would be taking an official visit to LSU this weekend.

I've talked to a couple of different sources that have both indicated that may not be true.

One source close to Cain told me that the kicker at his high school, Tampa Tech, is looking to walk-on at LSU. To help try to make that happen, the kicker's father is hoping Cain goes along on the trip. That source also indicated that Cain would "definitely" not be an official visitor, if he goes at all.

A second source, one that's close to folks in Baton Rouge, indicated the same thing, as it pertains to the type of visit it would be. The source also believes it would be an unofficial one. This source also downplayed the nature of the trip, saying that Cain probably just wants to see a good game.

Thx. Cain and Watson will be have a chance to be better than Sammy and Boyd.

I wonder if the kicker's Father is a LSU fan trying to recruit Dion. I'm just not sure why Dion visiting LSU would help the kicker walk on.

Maybe Deon can help somehow to get him a preferred status. After all, we've taken recruits in the hopes of getting their teammate before, too.

How 'bout we put a positive spin on something for once? Carl Lawson anyone? Remember when he was committed to Auburn but made a late visit here while Montravius Adams was in town?

Gonna be lots of top prospects at this LSU-Bama game, including an elite receiver who might be leaning Clemson's way- Tyron Johnson. This is an opportunity for Deon to do some recruiting for Clemson and for his future teammates. He knows he has a chance to be a part of what might become an epic offensive group, one that could be remembered for a very long time and not just here at Clemson. Helping land Tyron would go a long way to ensuring this, plus it'd be in Deon's best interest to have an elite WR like Tyron opposite him to prevent coverage from consistently rolling his way.

I know that Tyron Johnson named Clemson his leader at one point. I haven't heard anyone mention us as having a realistic chance of landing him though.

For Johnson I thought it was more about our interest and spots for him and less his interst. In the next class we've got Cain, McCloud, and Bell. All very good. Do we need to use a scholarship for a fourth?
