New Rivals article says things are changing for Lacy---he's improving his grades and even if he barely fails to qualify, he'll likely only need a semester of prep school to get into college. Many were worried he'd be a sign and place guy, that would miss 2yrs of eligibility, but that looks to no longer be a realistic result.

With the four-star recruit and nation's No. 13 rated running back by Rivals.com set for his first official visit to Alabama this weekend the 6-foot, 220-pound Lacy acknowledged a recent increase in frequency of interest coming from LSU.

"They're trying somewhat," Lacy said. "They called and heard that I was picking up my grades and might have a chance to be eligible and basically talking to me about coming to their school."


"They weren't talking to me at first but know that I'm getting back on track they're trying to talk to me," Lacy said. "They weren't there when I was doing bad but know that I'm doing good they're there. There are other schools that have been there all along."

Saia admitted that the difference between Lacy being an academic qualifier or not could be the result of a photo finish.

"It's 50-50 right now," Saia said. "But if he doesn't make it he's going to be so close he'll be able to go to a prep school for a semester and be back in the spring for football practice. He's got a shot. It's going to depend how he finishes. It's going to come down to his final exams."

Because of a basketball game next Friday, Lacy said he's not 100 percent sure he'll take a scheduled official visit to Tennessee which then could leave the door ajar for a possible trip to LSU.

"I'm not telling anyone that I'm not interested because I don't know what I'm going to do or where I'm going to end up," Lacy said. "I'll keep all of my options open but I know what I want to do if I get my grades up."

It will be funny when this tact begins to backfire on Saban. Telling any young kid what they can and can't do in evaluating schools will most certainly begin to rub a few the wrong way.

I'm thinking that it will mostly bother HS coaches who don't like the idea of their players being essentially threatened not to look at certain options. It's completely classless. IMO Saban is too worried about a blow to his ego by losing a top rated prospect to a rival who just hired his best recruiter.

Saban's a bitch (and liar) who's afraid of a little competition. Mods warn me if you like but everybody's thinking it, i just said it.

That's a tough one to predict. I think Mack Brown at Texas usually doesn't let his commits visit other schools or he pulls the scholarship. Last time I checked he does pretty well in recruiting.

Dayumm... This kid really doesn't like to be tackled. Once upon a time I played cornerback and this type of guy I hated going up against. He can leave you standing there holding your privates or laying on the ground blowing snot bubbles...

Holy Shite! Please come to UT. I do not want us to have to play against this guy. That video is incredible.

Not making comparisons mind you but Lacy's running style is very similar to Jim Brown's and folks that ain't a bad thing. I'm pretty impressed with the kid.
