I am hearing every single one of these names and I know not all of them can come in Jan.

Hayden Rettig
Anthony Jennings
Quantavious Leslie
John Diarse
Avery Johnson
Logan Stokes
Ethan Pocic
Fehoka Fanaika (Sp?)
Christian LaCourture


I know not all of them could do it so how many could and which ones? Are only 4 avaiable to enroll early or could LSU take more?

ETA: I just saw that Lewis Neal is backing out and allowing others to enroll early. seems neal is pretty solid.

I didn't think everybody could come as an EE. That's interesting but good since we have a lot of possibles. Nice, so we practically have four additional spots in this class and maybe even 5-6 depending on academic casualites?

All of them could come in as EE's. 4 would count back towards last year and the rest would go towards 2013. There isn't a restriction on how many early enrollees you can have.

Those are some good recruits. I'm really glad A. Johnson and F. Fanaika (sp.?) didn't give up.

I REALLY want Rettig, Jennings, and Leslie to show up early. That would benefit our offense largely, future and present. Diarse would be nice simply because we could figure out if he should play WR/S, my vote is S. Obviously Avery is big and any lineman who comes in early will benefit, ask Vadal.

To be on scholarship they would have to fit under the 85 in Jan regardless of which class they would be applied to for the 25. It's unlikely they could all fit in.

Correct, but you cant exceed the total number of schollys (85) when they come in, which is what would limit them from EE

This was my concern. The number could be a little more in our favor since we had so much attrition this year with transfers and such but some will be forced to come in the summer. I wonder if Miles and co. have Miller's situation in the back of their mind and will ask the most solid pledges to hold off on enrolling so we could get the ones who would be pissed off on campus in Jan.

I expect a few transfers/departures from the team as well as kids leaving early/Seniors that will give us the numbers to allow that many to early enroll.

Avery Johnson and Fehoko Fanainka are already counted, if that makes sense. They were part of the 85 count in the fall.

I imagine the other two back counters will be Leslie and Stokes, because they are JUCOs.

I believe beyond that we can take like 4 more EEs.

On a separate note, UGA is possibly enrolling 18 people early in January. That's insane.

I don't think he's coming to LSU anymore. Not 100% positive, but I'm pretty sure LSU moved on.

These are the only EEs I'm sure have a spot to early enroll.

Well johnson isnt really an EE more like a late enrollee.

I cant believe fanaika got screwed over by his cc, could have used him this year for depth reasons.

But yeah having guys come in early is always a plus.

True but if you look at the amount of possible losses to graduation(we have 8 current scholarship seniors), losses to the draft (Mingo, Sam, Reid--possibly Simon and Minter) and then some attrition (Turner, Fobbs, Williams); we should have more than enough room to enroll all 9 in January.

He is coming in January. Never lost contact with LSU and took care of his classwork so he's good to go.

Numbers I saw here on the RB said LSU could take six EE. Four of which could count to the 2012 class.

He will definitely be in this class. He got screwed over by his Juco this year.
