It is weird that the one year where our state has more talent than ever before that most of our commits are from OOS recruits.

My theory is that the OOS recruits see how loaded our state is and want to make sure they have a spot in the class which is great because we have some High Quality kids committed.

The problem comes in and I truly believe this will happen is that some instate kids get left behind.

We have 7 commits (Really 8 with the Rasheed kid) ... That leaves 17 spots and here is my guess on how many more we take at each postion.

2 Rbs - LF and (Shorter, DW, Paliei) ... 15 spots left
3 Wrs - Dupree, Noil, and (Quinn, Williams, Brown) 12 spots left
1 TE - McNeil
2 OL - Brumfield and Robinson () 9 spots left
4 DL - Willis, Clark, Godchaux, (And a guess) 5 spots left
2 Lbs - Young and Davis () 3 spots left
3 Dbs - Brown, Jones, and (Johnson, Jackson, Adams etc etc)

That means we do not take a QB nor do we take more than 3 OL.

Nice problem to have, beats the heck out of not being able to get the commits we need to keep the program going strong.

Our staff really does their own homework, and does not place much emphasis on what other's think. They hit the film hard, and really value their own observations in camp in particular.

I like what you have here, but I am sure that atleast one will jump ship and we will snag one from somewhere we least expect.

I agree to a point.

The top La kids have LSU offers and in this age of media/hype total and all out blitz, they should have an good idea where they want to spend their college years.

If they wait or choose to play mind games because ESPN and the All Star games wants to hype them and they lose their place, I have little sympathy for them.

I don't even sweat LF decision as much as I did at first. We will be fine either way.

Being at LSU was one of the best times of my life in a lot of aspects, I would not trade it for the world.

1 TE - McNeil

I could see us only taking one tight end in this class (Washington). No source, just a hunch because I think Smith may redshirt since it appears he is fourth on the depth chart behind Dickson, Stokes and Gordon.

You are forgetting about QB. I think we will almost definitely take one, probably DeShone Kizer.

Other than that I agree with your list.
