Agim adds offer, takes visit

Hope (Ark.) Rivals100 defensive end McTelvin Agim continues to take in the recruiting process, and it has been busy.

Tuesday, he learned the LSU Tigers were extending a scholarship offer, and he likes what he already knows about the Tiger program.

"I just know they have a good program," Agim said. "Coach Miles, he's a good coach. I know about Death Valley and everything. I like LSU. I like the players they've put in the NFL. The players that were drafted last year. They had the most draft picks last year. That was crazy. I just like how they're putting out players."

In addition to knowing about the program, Agim has already struck a strong bond with one of the Tigers 2015 signees.

"Yeah, my boy Chidi Valentine," Agim said. "We went against each other at the Rivals250. We found out we're from the same same tribe in Nigeria, the Igbo. I just got off the phone with him. We were talking about LSU and things like that. That's my boy. "

Agim also likes what he knows about defensive line coach Ed Orgeron.

"He's cool. He's nice. I didn't talk to him too much, but I can tell he's got a fun demeanor to him. I'm ready to go out there and visit."

The Tigers invitied him to a junior day and he felt like he would be able to attend. He was not certain of the date. Agim has already attended junior day at Baylor.

"Baylor it was nice. It was real nice. I know a player that plays for Baylor, Davion Hall, from Texarkana. We grew up together," Agim said. "I saw the area, I talked to the coaches and just chilled with them. It was nice. It was real laid back and nice."

He enjoyed the facilities and the campus at Baylor, but it was another aspect of the trip which really stood out in his mind.

"It's like family down there," Agim said. "If you commit to them its like family."

Agim does not have any plans set in stone but he does have know a few things. First he would also like to visit Arkansas, Alabama, Ole Miss, Auburn, and Oklahoma in the near future. Second, he will not be visiting anywhere this weekend.

"This weekend I'm not going to be going anywhere," Agim said. "I'm getting my wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow, so I feel like I should just stay home. I don't feel like I really want to go anywhere with some gauze in my mouth."

He is not ready to name a list of favorites, but he does have a plan.

"I still don't have a list. That's why I'm trying to get to all these schools so I can try to make one this summer," Agim said. "I will most likely be an early graduate. The only way I wouldn't be an early graduate is if I choose Stanford."

Agim is currently ranked No. 81 in the Rivals100, No. 6 among the nation's strongside defensive ends, and No. 1 in the Rivals.com Arkansas Postseason Top 10.

Agim does plan to attend the Rivals Camp Series in Dallas in March.
