Are there any for this class? Are we firm with any not committed?

They are waiting to see how LSU does. If you were a five star recruit would you committ to a head coach who's entering his first year as the head coach at the school or would you wait and see how he does?

If you are a four-five star, you have plenty of choices. You don't want to make a mistake with your career.
Just because Joe Alleva is willing to gamble the program on his choice of a head coach, doesn't mean all these talented athletes and their families are willing to do likewise. At a minimum, some want to see how LSU does with The Orgeron as HC.
Makes sense.

No worries. Most of our 3 stars will become 5s. Maybe even 6s.

Yes I take comfort too in knowing all of the three stars will most definitely be bumped up. I learned that from this board right here.

Some of you just dropped from 3 star to 2 star posters.

Five months ago, one 5-star and 14 4-stars not only committed but signed LOI's.

It's July people

"filling depth and getting players we can develop"
Can you say "euphemism" for "taking players we wouldn't ordinarily take"?

So no 5* will sign with either Texas or Oklahoma?

I think Coach O is trying to fill his team with guys who have a good work ethic and don't have that 5th star and feel entitled, however I think there are some humble 5 star prospects Coach O wants...

You realize 4 and 5 stars can develop into better players, right?
