Here ya go guys this is my prediction:

Andre Debose
Rueben Randle
Barkevious Mingo
Josh Johns
Deangelo Benton
Xavior Sua'Filo
Bennie Logan
Craig Loston

Outside shot: Tahj Jones

I feel pretty confident that we will finish this way. I am the most worried about Randle, Debose, and Sua'Filo out of that list.

I don't think Jones will get the grades. We will miss out on Jenkins, Jarvis Jones, Frankie Telfort, etc at LB.

So you're saying we're gonna take 28 this year? That's an aweful lot of attrition. I hope we can make that much room.

I like your optimism but I think landing all those guys is more of a pipe dream. How high are we with Sua'Filo anymore anyway? But just looking at what we have coming in already, and what we may have coming in, I hope to God Les Miles gets a solid DC and lets Crowton do his thing. Florida who?

Damn, Lynx! You sure have gain a shitload of credibility on hear in a really short amount of time. I remember when you were asking if you should ditch rivals and go with TSD.com less than a year ago.

Goes to show you how lacking level-headedness is on this board.

There will be a lot of attrition...

I think some has already been confirmed, but not made public.

I'd expect a couple spots at WR and maybe one in the secondary. (I don't have any inside info on this, but look at the depth hart and things begin to show).

In the end I think LSU can keep Randle. Benton and Shep along with being the in state school should be enough to keep him here.

Sua'Filo counts towards the 2011 class so don't include him in the numbers.

There are also at least 2 grey shirts that I know of that have been offered.

Spots will open up for the big boys...no worries.

Yeah I guess so.

Objectivity is everything.

I still have my doubts with:

Sua'Filo - Will he leave Utah? Recent reports have us still being his leader, but I'm hesitant on this one. He is a great pick up but would not be an unthinkable loss if it does happen.

Debose - UF has him as their #1 prospect. It is hard for me to have total faith when you are competing against the in state school for their #1 offensive player. Still, it sounds like we are sitting pretty.

Randle -- the saga never ends. I still think we have the best chance of anyone.


------
Logan, Mingo, Benton (if grades), Johns, Loston I feel very good about.

Claiborne and Helton?

Just guessing at the two players whose scholly offers were questionable to start with.

I would say Barrow, but I'm guessing he was offered to take up for the likely instance we don't get Jarvis Jones or another big-time LB.

No way it is Helton, we need a P for next year. I am still questioning that scholly offer though.

Claiborne has a full offer.

The two guys I know of are on the lines...nothing has been made public adn it has been awhile since I last heard anything on it so I don't want to start any internet chatter that could be incorrect.

I think Barrow is a full offer as well. He was originally a grey shirt offer, but not anymore.

Dude,

Don't give us a Christmas present....and then start snatching it away (little by little)

I am just saying I have my doubts, but in the end I think those three are tigers.

Shea can probably give more on the Sua'Filo situation...he is in the know more than anyone in the country.

I see zero chance of having that many spots left.

Also have to factor in that we will probably lose at least 1 recruit with the coaching changes...
