As we get closer to National Signing Day on Feb. 5, these next two weekends will be huge for LSU Recruiting. Below is a list of prospects that will be visiting LSU this weekend, as well as a list of recruits that have already committed and will be on campus as well.

Prospects visiting this weekend:

Porter recently committed to TCU, but many people think he could end up at LSU since he has family in Baton Rouge.
