Looks like Rivals is not counting Rockey Duplessis in this class even though he is enrolled at LSU already. I would assume the same would go for D. Benton even if he would have committed to us. So really the loss of K. Bell is what is costing us #1 right now.

Scotty, most of the adults on this board aren't running out to get our national championship t-shirts, so we don't really care what number we end up.

I'd get a national championship t-shirt, just not a recruiting shirt

Duplessis just got removed from the official LSU list.

Benton is counting on Rivals as part of Auburn's class.

could Rocky be using TOPS to pay for school so LSU can save a scholarship for someone else?

Didnt Gerry D, Saban try this with a few players? Let TOPS pay for school and the players counted as walk-ons.

I don't want a t-shirt but it sure would be nice to be #1 instead of #2 esp B/c it is Bama that is ahead of us.

For you to say you would rather be #2 than #1 is asinine. Yes, in the grand scheme of things it does not mean a thing what matters is how they play come August, but #1 now would be nice.

Why is he on earlier and off now? I am a little confused.

For you to think I said I'd rather be #2 than #1 is asinine. I just don't care if we're either. It's not going to change the players that we sign.

He probably will but he would still be on the list. You have to be enrolled to count back, he was on there earlier.

TOPS or not you still count against the 85.

Rocky will count back to last year's class, just as Kerry Murphy (a 5 star d-lineman out of high school) will count back on Alabama's class.

I agree...I think the NCAA fixed this a few years back. If they take a state funded scholarship then I think they still count toward the 85.

GUYS...Has nothing to do with TOPS....it's cuz he will be counted back to last year because, if i remember correctly, only 23 or 24 players made it to campus in last years class. So, since he grayshirted last year, he will be counted back to last years 25 limit and toward the 85 on scholly.
