I know that Wilson would be a huge get and he's a major target, but who are some of these other targets that potentially we get on NSD? I've heard names like Chaisson, Levi Jones and others be discussed on the board but don't know the actual chances of them coming.. As always

DL: Wilson and Mathis, then likely done.

LB: Chris Allen, Jacob Phillips, M Bryant, Chaisson, Tyler Taylor, Will Ignont are targets.
Hard to say odds of landing them. Most are taking visits in January

Levi Jones got pushed way down board. Dont see us landing or pursuing him any longer

Klavon Chiasson
Willie Gay
Drew Singleton
Chris Allen
Will Ignot
Tyler Taylor
Jacob Phillips
Thomas Johnston
Levi Jones

DL

This is based on stuff I've read. Not sure the order of the board and who is ahead of who.

No. They will continue to work on him after dead period.

We're not gonna get Chris Allen to decommit and come here, but boy that would be something.

Thanks for the input. This is the single most important initiative for LSU football for the next several years. Recruiting as good or better in the trenches vs Bama is the only way things get turned around...

Really hoping we can get 2 of these guys. I think we have a great shot at landing at least 2 of these. Really want Chiasson, Bryant, Phillips or Allen!

Agreed.

Unless something drastic occurs, Allen is all Tide.

Another possible DE target if they miss on Mathis is Justin Harris from East Ascension. He's 6-6, 250, so it seems he's got the frame to bulk up and maybe be a five tech. Only played two years of high school football but had 28 sacks this season. Committed to UCF but pretty sure LSU would flip him if offered. I'm thinking he'd be much higher rated and have bigger offers if not for starting the sport so late.

I thought his offer was at TE.

LSU does seem interested in him as a possible TE, but he was quoted earlier as saying he wanted no part of TE. But maybe he's changed his tune. Not sure.

BDP was recruiting Levi. Its been widely specualted and confirmed by TOS mods that Aranda has Levi much further down the board.

Basically meaning they are gonna concentrate elsewhere...

lot of names but LSU don't look good on any of them.
Allen, Ignot and Phillips are already committed to other teams. Taylor, Gay, Johnston (would you really want to spend a scholly on him anyway?), and Singleton show 0% crystal balls to LSU. Can't even find Chaisson on 247. Levi Jones is the only one that seems remotely feasible with 12% CB's to LSU.

Maybe with just roll with Queen and Rice in this class

No offense, but this tells me exactly what I need to know about how 'in-touch' you are with LB recruiting, recruiting in general

none taken and you're right, I'm not a recruiting 'guru' but do like to follow it. But yes that looks like he might be our best bet for getting another top LB in this class. Listed as a WDE on 247 and 12% CB's to LSU.
