5 spots left...

LSU will sign a minimum of 7 off that list There are 9 I'd really like to have though.

A. Washington is a baller, but he may sign with TCU. Surtain, Joseph, and Cook would be amazing.

Pat Surtain Jr. - CB
Terrace Marshall - WR
Anthony Cook - CB
Kelvin Joseph - S/CB
James Foster - QB

Is the new rule a cap of 25 HS players given schollys? Seems like I've heard that...may not be true. If so, Damien Lewis & Badara can be taken in as transfers. Giving us the ability to sign 27 total

Personally I think this new 25 rule is so dumb. The scholarships should be able to carry over year to year...but we'll see how it goes this year & if the rule is here to stay or not

I think O has positioned LSU purposely like this knowing he would have the upper hand when it comes to signing early.

Those who don't follow through, might just be replaced by someone better and who wants to be a Tiger. I say make the numbers work, at the end, if you're full but can't pass up a certain recruit. Offer gray shirts, or if they having trouble with grades, convince them to go JUCO.

By that time you may only have a few you need to process, if any. If a kid is good enough, he won't have a thing to worry about so how could processing a few after signing period really hurt Orgeron. His argument would be, either sign early or be good enough that we can't replace you.

If you're truly committed, you'll sign in Dec. if not, how committed are you. That could be his argument to the parents. If the kid is playing us, of course we replaced him. Your son signs early and has his spot, if not then either don't commit or commit. Now early commits can be taken literally. If not then we consider you a decommit after the early signing period. LSU has to fill these spots and this guy passed on us the first time, so we started recruiting his spot once again. Reasonable IMO.
