We pretty much felt he was going to Auburn from the start. Things got a little strange after our July camp we he came and afterwards said he was 50/50 with UA/Barn. Then said he would announce a week later. All of a sudden he decided to wait until the end of the season to see which program fared better. Which was really strange, because not being biased but the Barn will not have that great of a season compared to UA. We might not win it all but we will be better. Next we lost V Beasley to Clemson and during his interview VB said we refused to take Owens commit. Now this week it is believed that Alfy Hill is going to commit to us over UNC and we still feel we will get C Mosley. Now L Owens goes ahead and commits to the Barn. BTW both Owens and Beasley are Barn legacies, so Beasley was probably a harder loss for the Barn than us.

Oh well we can't get them all, but I really think this kid has alot of potential and I think we will not enjoy seeing him on the other side of the ball. Good luck to him and the Barn got a great player in L Owens.

I didn't even know he visited Saturday.

Per Lewis:

"I will probably be back up there for an official visit after my season, I just have to see how things go," Owens offered. "I talk to coach (Lance) Thompson a lot. I knew him from when he was at Alabama. We have a good relationship."

This one is far from over. This was on Tigerbait today....

"I'm pretty much still solid but I've been at least listening to the other coaches like (LSU linebackers) coach (John) Chavis and (linebackers) coach (Lance) Thompson at Tennessee," Owens said. "My uncle didn't want me to commit in the first place and just wanted me to keep looking and talking to people. I guess I'll take another look at the other schools and be completely sure about everything."

Since his Sept. 6 commitment to Auburn, Owens has taken an unofficial visit to Tennessee and is planning to take an official visit there after official trips to Kentucky (sometime in December) and LSU. He's also been hearing from Clemson as well.

Stats from Friday....

Owens had seven tackles, two sacks and a forced fumble in Jess Lanier's 17-14 win over Bryant. Owens has 62 total tackles (6.9 per game), two forced fumbles and 11 sacks.
Rivals.com rates Owens the No. 3 overall recruit in Alabama and the No. 7 outside linebacker in the country.

Linebacker LaDarius Owens of Bessemer (Ala.) Jess Lanier is looking to visit Tennessee and LSU despite his commitment to Auburn, and the Vols are charging hard. If Tennessee offers his teammate, guard Gabriel Player, then Owens is all but headed to Knoxville. That appears to be a long shot, although Tennessee is showing some interest. In the end, this will come down to Auburn trying to hold off the Vols.

Chavis using former Vols to lure recruits to LSU-- sickening

During an earlier interview with TigerBait.com Owens said that Chavis remarked how Owens, who has 4.49 speed, had a similar skill set to that of former Tennessee All-American Jerod Mayo, whom the LSU defensive coordinator coached while with the Volunteers. Mayo went on to earn AFC Defensive Rookie of the Year honors with the New England Patriots last season.

Seems to be high on Chavis:

"He's said that I'm the type of player he wants to," Owens said of Chavis. "He wants to get his blitz packages ready and wants me to be a major part of that."

The respect and admiration for Chavis are obvious but Owens said he's not certain what it would take for another school to change his commitment.

"I don't even know," Owens said. "Coach Chavis really had me thinking (in June meeting) because he's a great coach. I followed him when he was at Tennessee and watched their defenses play. He's an experienced coach so I believe he knows what he's doing so that's going to play a big factor."

I didn't know UT wanted him. According to a interview in August he tried to commit to us but we turned it down. Some believe it was because we were getting A Hill, who committed the next week. I wish we would have taken him, because I think he has a lot of upside.

UT would love to have him. I would love to get him. I think UT wants 2 LBs- Luc and Jones or Luc and Owens, either would be awesome!

I agree he is a great prospect, but with his frame and speed would probably end up at DE for pass rushing. I also believe that is what he is playing this season is DE.

His teammate, Gabriel Player :)

we already have Taylor and williams. Do you mean two more? I know there has been some speculation about williams but I think Taylor is better than he seems to be rated and would hate to loose him.

I know that he has already committed to AU, but we are still on him pretty hard and have an in-house visit set up. Anyone have a clue on our chances of landing him?

I know Coach Thompson is gonna visit, but idk about Coach O. If the visit goes well, I would say at minimum it would be a 60-40 chance of us landing him.
