Initial 2013 Rivals 250

Only 1 LSU guy. Color me shocked.

Edt: sorry 2 commits. Regardless, I don't put much stock in this. It's way to early.

La is pretty well represented after the top 100

2 or 3 la. guys are in 250 but no lsu offer. coaches disagree with rivals.

I thought rivals guys said boutte would be rated high. can't find him.

That was 247. 2-3 of the LA kids aren't 250 type kids imo but it's too early to know for sure. I like Falkins at WR but the wr he's directly ahead of is better.(Uriah Lemay) Don't think Falkins or Robinson are even close to top 250 kids but that's just me. Of course that is based on past year's 250 type talents. Maybe it's a really down year. Honestly think White is too high based on what I've seen but I did foresee him being a 4*. Certainly seems to me that Rivals(or anyone else) has just rushed the rankings and haven't evaluated enough kids yet. I'm going out on a limb and say that between 50-75 of these kids will not be Top 250 at the end.

its like this every year

they just need a list for fans to look at and names to keep up with. its meaningless until the camp circruit is over and they start playing thier SR seasons.

List of Louisiana players:

#55 - Desean Smith - TE, Barbe
#66 - John Diarse - ATH, Neville
#104 - Ricky Jefferson - WR, Desthrehan
#144 - Tim Williams - DE, U-High
#156 - Kenneth Santa Maria - OL, McDonogh 35
#158 - Kendall Beckwith - ATH, East Feliciana
#169 - Noel Ellis - DB, Edna Karr
#175 - Jeryl Brazil - ATH, Loranger
#203 - Tre'vall Dixon - ATH, West St Mary
#208 - Standish Dobard - TE, Enda Karr
#211 - Raheem Falkins - WR, Carver
#215 - Tre'Davious White - ATH, Green Oaks
#229 - Christopher Robinson - DT, Woodlawn

you have him much higher?

I dont.

I do think its laughable that they said "one of the fastest in La"

How about the nation?

THIS BOARD COULD DO BETTER

I know, man. You'd think I would put in more effort considering all of the money I am charging people for my service.

why put in more effort if you don't have to.

Exactly, which is why I realize that Rivals is no longer worth a shite. They make plenty of profit by focusing on USC, BAMA, ND, tOSU, Mich, Texas, UF, FSU, and Miami prospects.

I count 13 kids from LA in the top 250. Rivals sure does hate LSU/LA.

It will be interesting to see how this plays out. Obviously, these rankings are put out way too early but Miles and Co. will have to fight for a lot of these guys:

#55 - Desean Smith - TE, Barbe
Barbe people saying he wants to go to Texas

#66 - John Diarse - ATH, Neville
Pulling for Alabama during the NC game

#104 - Ricky Jefferson - WR, Desthrehan
May want to look elsewhere because of his brother's time here

#144 - Tim Williams - DE, U-High
LSU will get him, IMO

#156 - Kenneth Santa Maria - OL, McDonogh 35
Where is he on the staff's board?

#158 - Kendall Beckwith - ATH, East Feliciana
Does some school convince him to be their QB?

#169 - Noel Ellis - DB, Edna Karr
Haven't heard anything

#175 - Jeryl Brazil - ATH, Loranger
LSU Commit

#203 - Tre'vall Dixon - ATH, West St Mary
Nebraska Commit

#208 - Standish Dobard - TE, Enda Karr
Sounds like LSU

#211 - Raheem Falkins - WR, Carver
Bama commit; Looks like LSU staff has moved on

#215 - Tre'Davious White - ATH, Green Oaks
LSU Commit

#229 - Christopher Robinson - DT, Woodlawn
Teammate of Toshiro Davis. Will former HC be "handling" his recruitment as well?


eta. To the guys who committed to LSU early not on this list, they're done as far as Rivals evaluation is concerned. They'll label them all 3 stars and call it a day.
