📝 Laurence "Hootie" Jones to announce Monday 12/2

Safety out of Louisiana.

247Sports.com composite rankings has him as the #3 safety in the 2014 class, 6th best player out of the state of Louisiana.

Their "Crystal Ball" projections have 78% of the 27 projections to Bama. He's close friends with Bama commit Cam Robinson.

I mention Cam, and where he's from, because of this:

That could easily be taken as a proactive statement on instate fallout if he chooses Bama.

Not that it matters, but I think he's headed to Tuscaloosa...as one of two more safeties in the next class.

Ok...now the rest of the secondary can be known as the Blowfish? (sorry, couldn't help myself.)

Welcome aboard, Hootie!

I hope we finish with Elam and Humphrey.
