Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

I kind of get the feeling that Dupre is just having some fun, though in fairness a lot of top in-state talent has seeped out of Louisiana in recent years.

FWIW, I think UCLA is probably the one to watch here, if he is indeed spurning LSU. I tend to think Alabama and Ole Miss are on the outside looking in, and I would say that is particularly so for the Rebels, though after what happened last year with Tunsil I'm not sure you should ever say never with that regime.

I will add that the potential quarterback struggles at LSU isn't helping Miles and company. No top WR recruit is especially excited about the notion of a Jordan Jefferson or Jarrett Lee-type player throwing them the football the next three or four years.

Evans, Dupre, etc........ the UCLANS are hot too!! L. A., the weather, hot chicks, whatever Mora`s doing with their program, all of it seems to be working.

UCLA has a tremendous amount to offer, and it's no surprise that they have done well in recruiting now that they have a viable head coach. As always, though, the lack of institutional support will ultimately be the issue...

Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

Here comes Ole Miss's big push. It just goes to show, that no matter how long a prospect's relationship with a school, the last feeling before NSD is the one that counts.
I hate when prospects say they will go where they "feel" the best. Feelings change every day. If you base your decision off a feeling solely, then you are likely to be disappointed and regretful. That is the reason for all of the decommits and flips on NSD. Teams are pulling at heart strings the most the last final days.

Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

I haven't seen anything about the NCAA looking at them, why do you say this?
These are from the fall of 2013. The NCAA moves very slowly and when there's smoke, there's usually fire. We shall see.......

Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

Dupre is currently in Oxford on an official visit to Ole Miss, but contrary to some reports he will still take an official visit to UCLA this weekend. The early speculation was that the visit to Ole Miss meant no visit to UCLA, but he chose to take a mid-week visit to Ole Miss so he could squeeze in both. UCLA is still alive here, it would seem.

FWIW, Saban has an in-home visit tentatively scheduled for tomorrow night with him, after he returns from Oxford. Not sure if that will hold up given the inclement weather, but if not he'll try to re-schedule for some time before Dupre goes to LA. Miles and company still also have an in-home visit left with him, so I'm sure they'll also be squeezing it in during the next three days.

LSU fans are getting pretty paranoid about this one, though in fairness that bunch is paranoid about a lot of things. Doesn't necessarily mean anything one way or the other with Dupre.

Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

Dupre is stuck in Oxford at the moment due to the snow and ice, and it looks like his in-home visits will have to be re-scheduled.

Consider this the first of many plans where the weather is throwing a big kink into visits. Several in-home visits are currently re-shuffled from multiple schools to multiple recruits.

Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

Will add that Dupre and Marlon Humphrey are very close friends. I tend to doubt that Humphrey's earlier-than-expected commitment to Alabama will significantly help sway Dupre to Tuscaloosa, though obviously it should help our cause to a limited degree.

Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

Coach Saban, Coach Kiffin, and Coach Burns will have an in-home visit with Malachi on Thursday....this one is crucial folks for us to have a shot at getting his signature on NSD

Re: Louisiana WR Malachi Dupre Updates

Ole Miss doesn't even have to get recruits to visit. They ju$t all of a $udden decide Ole Mi$$ is place they want to play e$pecially in the last week.

Continuing with the way they ended the 2013 recruiting season, Ole Miss has gotten Dupre interested enough to take a visit to Oxford.
