If so, what recruits do you think we get to fill the remaining 7 (or 8) spots?

No.

Way too much has to fall in place to fill this class after missing on so many prospects and possibly losing committed recruits.

Currently we are sitting at 18. Unfortunately, I think we lose Deondre Clark. I think we land:
Malachi Dupre
Derrick Kelly
Trey Lealaimatafao
& a surprise recruit

We finish with around 20-22 in this class.

I posted this in another thread and I think we have a shot at filling 25 with great players. Yes we only have a puncher's chance on some but here is what I think. Assuming we lose Clark we need 8.
1. Kelly, Jr-good shot
2. Dupre-great shot
3. Valentine-good shot
4. Speaks-good shot
5. Carter-tough pull but there is a shot. Fits Haley's m.o. of pulling big out of stater based on LSU rep and his relationship with recruit.
6. Jackson-good shot
7. Young-tough pull by all recent accounts and we slow played him so I think we have ground to make up but even after 1/2 I do not think we are a long shot on any LA kid that we get to visit.
8. Porter-better shot than people think. Lost his Texas recruiter and he is visiting and we have a good shot to get him and Dupre.

That leaves, Rushing, Granier, Olaka, M. McDowell, Leialaimatafou all long shots for one reason or another to fill in any that we miss up there. Sure some of these are longshots, but they all have visited or will visit with the exception of Lealaimatafou who has an offer but no visit confirmed yet. Granier is interesting because although he may not have an offer, he is visiting and a new OL coach may evaluate him differently that our old coach.

Not a clue who we get, recruiting is so fluid with these kids nowadays. But I do think we get to 25, it seems Les always likes to fill his classes. Remember Riley at the last minute last year and several others in years past. Just my two cents.

Valentine
Kelly
Dupre (we may lose him but I'm confident he comes here)
Adoree (again, going out on a limb, but, it's a perfect NFL decision for him).


20 at worst 22-24 at best.
