I think there will be 2 RB.

I am counting LF as one. Who else gets in?

McKnight, Thomas, Michel, other???

Hard to say. I'd prefer 3. Williams Palelei & LF. I think we end up taking 2 though. And it could be williams or Palelei. Unless racean Thomas wants in.

Gotcha.

I thought we would go for 2 in 2014 and 2-3 in 2015 (from the little I know and have been able to gather).

Who is the guy in OK that I think is formerly from LA?

Last year people were thinking we would take 3 this year. I think we could end up taking 2 this year and 2 next year (brosette & guice)

yep... that is him. Thanks Do we offer end up offering him?

I am trying to gauge how we feel with respect to particular positions and our feelings on potential commitments, based on the offers we have out. We seem to be a little low on offers for RB and DT (just 2 categories I find a little low on offers as compared to where we should be or other positions, respectively).

I can understand the RB situation, a bit, with LF and the 2 in 2015, but after this year, we might be very low on depth at RB. Are we waiting on something to happen with other RBs or are we content with LF and just any other one?

What type of player is brosette? I've seen a lot of people talking about him, but I haven't seen a highlight and I don't really follow the next year's recruiting til around December.

As far as Brossette is concerned, he is a great kid! Football wise my opinion is he will not be a super speedy back. His strength is as a power runner! He will have to weigh his offers and find the right fit for his style! He's not the RB that's gonna beat the defense around the edge, but he will drop a shoulder on a LB trying to close the hole Garrett opened and knock his arse off!

I asked wildman77 about him in a thread a couple days ago and that was his answer. His son plays on U-High and is a LSU commit.

We never offered

Spring Evals just started and a DT offer has already gone out. This time and at camps are when a bunch of offers come out and you can start to see how the class could possibly shape up. I think the staff DT board is
willis (move inside)
godchaux (when gets grades in order)
McDowell (if he can gain wait)
and they are waiting to see what happens with them before pressing for others. That's just my opinion.

As far as RB there aren't many RB offers out at all, it's a bit perplexing. Hopefully slow playing the instate guys doesn't end up hurting us.

That's what's hard to figure out. I'd be happy with a LF and either of the 2 instate RB or racean Thomas, RB class. Also don't count out Kevin Shorter.

I was wondering when shorter would be mentioned. I think its him and lf, and another in state guy if the numbers work or if one can enroll early

I'll start a thread on him instead of derailing this thread.

Yes, at this point it seems Palelei would be a good choice, but let's see where things stand after the high school season ends.

However, something I wish is that LSU would not have so many running backs on the roster as they did last season.
