After researching for a while I'm pretty sure LSU can sign 25 for this class. This is from the Advocate.com:
BIRMINGHAM, Ala. - Akiem Hicks never played a down of football for LSU. D.J. McCarthy no longer coaches there. They have passed through the program like a ship on the foggy Mississippi, sailing past the LSU campus on its way to some distant port.
But the Hicks/McCarthy “era” has left a stain, not a shadow, on LSU football. Tuesday, the NCAA Committee on Infractions announced it had found LSU guilty of major violations and placed the football program on one-year probation stemming mainly from Hicks’ recruitment and impermissible recruiting phone calls made by non-coaching members of the program.
In a practical sense, LSU is getting off with a slap, not a slap down. The most serious sanctions - reduction of two scholarships for the program overall and two in recruiting - were absorbed by last year’s team and by the class LSU signed in February. LSU is back to a full 85 scholarships this fall and may sign 25 players in 2012.
While LSU must still deal with recruiting phone call restrictions in September and a 10 percent cut in recruiting visits for the 2011-12 academic year, most of the damage has been done. LSU doesn’t even have to fear being saddled with repeat offender status if any previously committed violations emerge over the next five years. New violations would as always mean major problems for LSU, of course.

I also read articles from USA Today and Nola.com(Times Picayune-New Orleans) saying the same thing.
I would assume grey-shirts from last years class maybe. If all incoming recruits qualifies then LSU would have 24 and have to grey-shirt someone. And maybe early enrollees from next years class would be a reason. And the other reason I can think of is attrition. We already have to "cut loose" a few players to get to 85 if all 24 incoming recruits qualify. Like I've stated before I'm a die-hard season ticket holding Saints fan and a huge fan of the NFL. But I love football all together and got very interested in recruiting the last four to five years but I'd have to admit that I'm not the die-hard LSU fan that a lot of yall probly are and I'm not quite as knowledgable as most of yall with college football as well. So -
What would be the reason LSU would sign 23 recruits this year instead of 25?
