| Any soft commits? (Posted on 12/26/12 at 8:16 pm)
This is around the time where we start hearing rumors of players who are committed to LSU but are looking around. More often than not, these guys do end up decommitting. Kenny Bell, Janzen Jackson, Torshiro Davis, and Cassius Marsh are some guys who come to mind.
Kennard Swanson was linked to Florida the past few months and is no longer with us. I have heard a few things about Rashard Robinson and Miami, which is insane, considering their upcoming probation.
Is there anyone who is looking around?

I def do not share your optimism about Robinson considering people all around him are pushing him to Miami. I would def say he is entertaining the thought of staying home.

I think its all smoke, but if im wrong and he flips that would be the dumbest decision in the history of recruiting

Can't fault a kid for wanting to stay closer to home no matter how much a program is better than the other. JMO

Is there anyone else with even smoke about wavering?
And is it true that Cutrer, Leslie, and Lawson are the only potential academic casualties? This isn't counting Gardner and McNeil.

Torshiro is a bitch. My Texas buddy and I go back and forth about him all the time. TD knows he should have been a Tiger.

Thats what I like around these parts. We need more P&G glasses around here instead of some of the doom and gloom.

Word is that Boutte is also a slight risk.

Any recruit that takes other visits are technically "soft commits". So technically we have a bunch of soft commits every year because Les Miles allows visits to other schools.

I've heard there's a risk with Robinson, but it isn't Miami, it's grades.
Hear it's something that he should be able to handle though, so while there may be work done for a Plan B, there is still optimism that he'll be fine and they won't need Plan B.
Could be wrong though.

Just got his 7th sack of the season. I'd say he played.
