I saw we made the Final 3 for Camar Wheaton. I also saw where Rivals said it's between Oklahoma and us. Leaning heavy Oklahoma, but to still be in it means good things too.

That's what he told the OU staff during their "Sooner Summit." I wouldn't count out LSU.
(Which I'm still trying to figure that one out with recruiting so restricted right now.)

Apparently it was just a group of commits, headed by Caleb Williams that got these guys together and they just toured campus without any coaches. Supposedly.

Saw this Tim Keegan guy in person a few times. I thought he killed our old QB one play. Looked similar to the late hits he put on a few QB's on his junior film. He moves real well, seems to understand his role, has a mean streak and is definitely north of 320 lbs. I would also say that he may not be over 6 foot unless he has gotten taller since I saw him last which is entirely possible. It was the year before last when he came to our place. I work the box on the chain gang so I stand on the opposing teams sidelines and always on the line of scrimmage so I get a good look.
When he came to the sidelines wearing a helmet and cleats.. I was taller than him and I am 6"3 & 1/2

I'm not trying to be a smart ass here, K, but I wouldn't have posted his bio otherwise. Sort of been my MO, no?

You have to slap me every once in a while!!! I lock in like these students and don't pay attention. I went on 247 after I commented and "duh?" We have offered 17 DTs, with 2 commits in Payne and Barnes. Maason Smith is the only one I think still has us in the mix.

I didn't get this impending commit either, but read that Kirby and Orgeron both also love Keenan, so I'll defer to the experts. But Bama has landed quite a few 300+ lb DTs in recent classes that I figured this spot would be reserved to being able to fill other needs.

Ain't no thang.
I've seen so many people step over these guys announcements the last few years...not going there. It's not more than a suggestion to watch, ya know?
I think there's only one bio I've posted that hasn't pulled the trigger yet: Kool-Aid.

I wish Kool-Aid would go ahead and pull the trigger. I'm guessing he is one of those "signing day announcements", so we will have to wait until December.

Pearl is in his ear claiming he's a sure fire prospect on the hardwood. He's not.

Yep! You’ve got to able to do more on the hardwood besides run and dunk! We had a DB here at the HS when I was coaching that was around 6’ 2” 185. He could run like a deer and could leap as well. He couldn’t dribble with his off hand and couldn’t shoot anything outside of 5 feet!!! Our DB coach told straight up, “kids like you are a dime a dozen! You ain’t special! You play DB, you can go to school for free, but you ain’t going to get a sniff from basketball coaches!” He went to college on a football scholly.

With Keenan I think it's down to two "need," OL and another WR. RB is one of those they'll play by ear...if the right one falls. I believe one will.

I went to Ramsay my freshman and sophomore years ('84 - '86). We didn't have football or boys' soccer (had a girls team...), which hurt me. Now they've fielded a football team ( a few years ago). Not only is Keenan's commit pretty important for himself, but the school needs to hang its helmet on a big-time commit.
