The article is a couple of weeks old but I haven't seen anything on this until now. LINK

It will be interesting to see if he is even a take. If the plan is to take 4 LB Queen, Moses, Allen and Chaisson are all ahead. They may even prefer Levi Jones.

“Really, all four are tit for tat, but LSU has has an edge right now,” Ignont told SEC Country. “They (LSU) are just making me and my family feel at home. I feel like I would be taken care of if I went to LSU, and that’s all that we want. We want a place that fits me and somewhere where I strive both academically and athletically by winning national championships.”

Well, Allen, Chaisson, and Jones are all OLB, Ignont is an ILB. If all 6 want in, they'll take all 6.

with how thin we are at LB, and considering Queen probably needs a year to bulk, they are taking all the LB they can get.

I can promise you they won't take 6 and Allen is going to be used inside and out. Jones probably will too. Chaisson is the only guy that is a lock to play one position and that's because all he can do is pass rush and he's one of the best in the country at it.

Queen is the same size as Debo Jones last year and he is probably going to EE. He won't need a year to bulk up. Also, if we end up with Moses, Queen and Allen to go along with White and Alexander, we will have more guys capable of playing the inside next year than we have this year. We just won't have much experience.

We don't have enough scholarships to take all 6

We need another ILB.

Next year will be White as a true ILB...and I have no clue who else. Donnie is still too small and unless the other guys are walkons, you're looking at Voorhies playing ILB. Ignont seems like the best fit and will be around 6'2 240 once he hits campus.

Plus the guy is an Alabama LB. Two of the top states I know from memory that consistently produce top LBs for college and NFL, are Alabama and Georgia.

There are 7 spots left right?

Ignont, Moses, Allen, Buggs, Wilson, Harris, ???

Ignont seems like a good fit here since we need help inside.

I think LSU would ideally want 5 LBs:

Moses
Allen
Chaisson
Queen
Ignont/Jones

Divinity is playing outside and is likely the starter opposite Arden Key this year and next.

Where does Thornton project? Buck? I know he mentioned playing MLB when Steele was here.

I actually think Thornton starts on the outside oppo Key and Divinity is moved inside in the 3-4. Next year

I've always felt Ignont was very much interested in LSU.

He seems to really like the players here too.

They'll take all 6. Ignont and Moses are being recruited solely as ILBs.

We've got at least 7 spots left and a couple guys committed right now won't be in this class come NSD.
