Seeing his name a good bit in regards to his visit with MH this past weekend.
Seems to be a heavy LSU lean but does anyone think we have a shot with him?

They've thrown less than us for the most part. The thing going for them is that they have pretty much always had that stud WR on their team for the last 10+ years (back to Josh Reed/ Dwayne Bowe). Until Julio, we really never had that stud that also was successful in the NFL (DJ Hall was great for us, but did nothing on a professional level)Agree with the above post, while we are fairly run heavy, I definitely do not think of LSU as an offense that throws the ball around a ton.
And what should get Dupre attention is the class of receivers we already have. What made Julio so good is we finally started building some depth at WR. If a defense chose to double JJ (and they did sometimes) then we had some other guys who were wide open and were legitimate threats (Arenas for examples).They've thrown less than us for the most part.

LSU (like us) always recruits well, but one point against us is that we really don't lose a ton at WR. Bell was sporadic in his production and while Norwood was better than he got credit for (he'll be a solid 3rd or 4th WR in the pro's for 10 years barring injury), he isn't in the same conversation with guys like Beckham and Landry who are likely 1st or 2nd rounders. We return our best WR (Cooper) and have several more with significant PT.And what should get Dupre attention is the class of receivers we already have.

I honestly don't know how our depth compares to LSU's. While our qb situation is pretty similar, if I'm a stud receiver I'd be looking at how good the other receivers are (like Cooper and company) and I'd be thinking that I'll have more opportunities with defenses focusing on them instead of me (at least my first year or two).

You are right, can't remember the receiver's name I was thinking about, but he was a slot guy.First of all, Javier Arenas was a DB, not a receiver.
This would be my final 4 as well.The dream closing of recruiting for Bama would be getting Humphrey, Elam, Evans and Dupre.
I'd like to have Chad Thomas in that group.The dream closing of recruiting for Bama would be getting Humphrey, Elam, Evans and Dupre.
Marquis Maze.You are right, can't remember the receiver's name I was thinking about, but he was a slot guy.
Those guys are somethin` else, ain`t they??Continuing with the way they ended the 2013 recruiting season, Ole Miss has gotten Dupre interested enough to take a visit to Oxford.
