Hired:
QB coach Dane Stevens (was Ole Miss passing game coordinator)
Dwike Wilson (was Ole Miss Senior Executive Director of Recruiting, unsure of LSU role at the moment)
--------------------
Expected to be retained:
Blake Baker (DC)
--------------------
LSU commits:
4 star TE JC Anderson (flipped to LSU from Ole Miss)
4 star WR Brayden Allen (flipped to LSU from Oklahoma)
3 star IOL Ryan Miret (flipped to LSU from Ole Miss)
--------------------
LSU decommits:
4 star WR Kenny Darby (destination unknown)
4 star Safety Dylan Purter (flipped from LSU to Florida)
3 star WR Kervin Johnson Jr. (flipped from LA Tech to LSU after firing of BK -- flipped from LSU to Ole Miss today. Will sign with Ole Miss tomorrow)
3 star OL Jalen Chapman (destination unknown)
--------------------
Predicted decommits:
4 star OL Bryson Cooley (crystal balled to Alabama - Steve Wiltfong)
--------------------
LSU portal entries:
WR Jelani Watkins
--------------------
SPECULATIVE:
4 star WR Jase Mathews (Auburn commit) - confidence in Auburn camp fading fast, with LSU & Ole Miss neck and neck to try to flip him. Nothing concrete on this front but wanted to make you all aware.

3 star EDGE Carmelow Reed has announced via Instagram he will decide between LSU & Ole Miss tomorrow at 3:15 PM.

(List will be update throughout the day - most recent edit was to add Carmelow Reed announcement)

this feels like a saban style processing spree that's about to happen.

Yes - certainly conflicting reports. Inklings have dropped that Tulane has their HC and it’s not Baker. He’s the only one that’s not set in stone.

Rest are updated up to time of original posting. He’s “expected” to be retained. Hope that expectation is correct.

I thought I just read that Darby WILL sign with LSU. No?

I think we are trending for him but didn't get a commitment (yet). Hoping he jumps on board and signs tomorrow

Trending for him is accurate. (Wiltfong crystal balled as well)

I added him to the tracker along with the related context. I'm all over it today - just check back every couple hours if you'd like to stay current on news.
