Scout Regional Rankings

Well, Scout has released all of their regional rankings, and on Monday they will release the National 300. Since I have nothing better to do, here is how LSU's commitments are faring in the regional rankings.

Scout broke it down to five regions: Southeast, East, Midwest, Midlands (basically Texas), and West.

East: Justin Hunter is 14th out 100

Southeast: Jordan Allen is 21st out of 150, Eric Reid is 36th, Tharold Simon is 49th, Justin Maclin is 57th, Ronnie Vinson is 74th, Tyrann Mathieu is 103rd, Sam Gibson is 120th (and now rated as a safety), Nick Jacobs is ranked 122nd.

Midwest: Spencar Ware is 11th out 150.

Midlands: Mike Davis is 10th out of 200, Evan Washington is 44th, Zach Lee is 58th, Luke Muncie is 112th.

West: None of the players that have committed to LSU are in the West region.

So 14 of the 20 high school commitments are listed in the national 750 or whatever you want to call this list. Not included are: DJ Welter, Houston Bates, Elliot Porter, Dexter Blackmon, Brandon Worle, and Chase Fordham. Jermarcus Hardrick is a JUCO player and not eligible for these rankings.

If I had to guess, the following players would be in the national 100: Mike Davis, Justin Hunter, Spencer Ware, and Jordan Allen. Eric Reid might drop out of the top 100.

Based on their rankings, these players should join them in the national 300: Eric Reid, Tharold Simon, Justin Maclin, Ronnie Vinson, Evan Washington, and Zach Lee. Hardrick will also be a 4-star since they clearly haven't done any adjustments to the JUCO rankings.

If I had to guess on the rating across the board, there will be 4 top 100 players, 1 5-star (Davis), 10 4-stars, and either 9 or 10 three-stars, depending on what they do with Blackmon. This should probably keep LSU in 5th place, but Penn State will soon jump us when they pick up some more commitments. Of course Scout just loves their rust belt prospects for some reason.
