La. QB prospect looking hard at AU. Good to hear. cops-n-pastas al.kum

Gus Malzahn has Kiehl Frazier and Jonathan Wallace battling for his starting quarterback job. He has 2012 Alabama Mr. Football Jeremy Johnson, JUCO transfer Nick Marshall and McGill-Toolen star Jason Smith coming this summer. And he is working hard on landing 2014 Florence High star Kendrick Doss, who plans to attend Big Cat Weekend later this month.

This week, Malzahn and the Tigers extended an offer to another dual-threat quarterback in the 2014 class whom he thinks could be a good fit to run his offense -- Brandon Harris of Bossier City (La.) Parkway.

"His offensive scheme, what he likes to do with the offense, I know the background on Malzahn," Harris told Rivals.com. "When the recruiting process started, one school I wanted to hear from was Auburn. The things Coach Malzahn has done with quarterbacks -- they had good quarterbacks at Tulsa, then of course Cam Newton at Auburn, he's an offensive genius. ... I wanted this offer."

Harris (6-3, 206), who wears the No. 1 because of Newton, threw for 2,573 yards and 26 touchdowns and ran for 667 yards and 12 scores in 2012. Ole Miss, Mississippi State and Ohio State also offered Harris on the same day as Auburn last week, joining a list of offers that's now reached 25.

He told Rivals he plans to visit Auburn and expects to make a decision on his commitment in July.

After a busy week in the world of quarterback recruiting, Bossier City, Louisiana quarterback Brandon Harris now stands as one of the top uncommitted quarterback prospects remaining. Harris, a 6-foot-2, 195-pound dual-threat star, has watched a number of his fellow 2014 quarterbacks pledge their commitments to schools around the SEC and the rest of the nation but says he's not changing his plans.

"I'm still sticking with my announcement date of July 18th," Harris said. "I have said all along that would be my decision date and I feel like any coaches that truly want me will wait for that date."

Harris has already taken unofficial visits to LSU, Alabama and Ohio State in recent weeks and plans to visit at least three more schools before his July 18th decision date.

"Right now, my tentative plan is to visit Auburn on July 10," Harris said. "Before that, I will visit Baylor and Ole Miss at some point although I don't have dates setup yet. I want Auburn to be my last visit so I can have a full week to soak everything up and pray about my decision with my family."

Harris, who is rated the top dual-threat QB in the nation by 247Sports, has listed Auburn as one of his top three schools for weeks and said that while recruiting is a constantly shifting prospect for him, his relationship with the Auburn coaching staff has remained strong and stable.

"I really get along so well with Coach Malzahn and Coach Lashlee. It's been great getting to know them and I think we agree on a lot of things, even outside of football. Coach Lashlee likes to call me 'Mini Cam' which makes me laugh. I'm obviously not as big as Cam but I do pride myself on my arm strength and my ability to make plays with my feet and I love Coach Malzahn's offense."

While Harris said he isn't ready to name any favorites or even specify what it is he'll be looking for during his remaining visits, he did say all the remaining contenders for his signature share one thing in common: a willingness to play a fast-paced, wide open style of football.

"It's really what college football is moving towards now," Harris said. "You're seeing it all over the country. Auburn, Ole Miss, Ohio State and Baylor all run some kind of spread formation and they all try to keep the pace high and LSU will be moving to that this fall. It's something that I think fits my skills really well."

LSU will be moving to that this fall

Cue Saban's whiney excuse for inexplicably losing to Les Miles this year.

Did LSU hire a new OC to go to the NNHUNH? Honestly, if they were to find the right fit at OC to run that style.....and Les actually let's him run the offensive show (Huge IF)...look out.

Call it a faster pace, or perhaps a sense of urgency. The first day of LSU's spring football certainly moved more quickly, at least offensively.

Cameron said he wants to add to the playbook and build on what the offense already knows, but clearly he's changing the way the offense is implemented. The terminology is different, according to Mettenberger, with a numbering system that will simplify play calls.

I think the fact that 6'3" 260# LB's can actually become a liability scares the panties off of Sabins and company. That is a major part of his philosophy.

Exactly.
