It's happening so fast; it's becoming a full-time job just to keep up!
But good news is great news in recruiting; especially after you land a freak of nature like this one.
On May 29th the Tigers got yet another class of 2013 commitment from Illinois lineman Ethan Pocic who had offers from 'Bama, USC, Cal, Oklahoma, and Florida just to name a few.
The 6'6 285 pound tackle is rated the number 36 player by Rivals.com and the 6th best OT in the nation. The deciding factor for Pocic was the physical play of LSU's run game. After his visit to LSU this past weekend; Pocic knew LSU was the right fit for him.
In an interview with the Chicago Tribune, Pocic said; "It's all about the offensive line at LSU and the running game" stated Pocic. "They love to run the football and it's a great fit on and off the field for me."
Many analyst love the upside of this kid. He possess the athletic ability to play tackle as a true freshman and have the frame to be an effective blocker at the next level. Adding another pillar to an already stacked offensive line is writings on the wall that LSU will always be a run first team.
To be honest, I couldn't pick out a weakness from watching his highlight tape. Could be the fact that he was so much bigger than the person in front of him but you don't run across too many 6'6 offensive tackles in high school. Either way, I'm sure he will have a stellar career at LSU. This verbal commitment makes 14 for the class of 2013.
...plus that highlight link is SICK!
