He was a sleeper at the time of his commitment. Once you're committed to LSU, you are no longer a sleeper.

If this Blackman (Racist?) fellow turns into a 5-star later on, he still was a sleeper on July 24, 2009.

Josh Downs played in the Under Armour game. . .so I don't think he qualifies. . .at least as I understand the initial post.

It seems to me that we need to think of guys who didn't bump up at the end of their senior season but rather came to campus with expectations they far exceeded once they hit the field.

I appreciate the posts that Lafell was recruited by other BCS schools. As I recall however, he was viewed as an "add-on" in the RJ Jackson sweepstakes (RJ played in the Army game). Yada, yada, yada LaFell is being talked about as possibly the first receiver taken in the draft. Just that consideration doesn't match any expectations that most people had. Just sayin'
