Did we overcommit?

There have been numerous discussions about the kicker counting against our number, and who the final four should be. The more important question is whether we over committed with our current class?
I'm very pleased with what we got, and it appears that we will close strong. But it also seems that if we had 1 or a few more spots, we could have made this class even better. I'm not talking about star gazing, but being able to offer players who we really like and appear to have a legit chance to sign at this point.
It's hard to gauge these things, and being that this was the first early signing period, I believe our staff did a great job. Do you think they wish at this point that they had held a couple of offers knowing what we have available left to sign?

I mean we really do need a good kicker

I’m sure they wish they had 1-2 more but so does 90% of the schools out there. First time with early signing period and coaches getting a feel for how it will shake out. For what our needs were I’m extremely satisfied.
And before people mention Qb and RB is a failure let’s see who if anyone comes in as a grad transfer.

Do you want a good kicker in last minute win or lose situations? Kicking game is crucial. Good get. Get another one next year.

The kicker ger got is the most important signing as far as position of need. we take the ags completely out of the game by the middle of the 2nd Q with a good kicker. There is probably one DT too many not to name any names which takes away from one of three players, joiner/a WR/ a QB. but thats just assuming a quality QB was even waiting in the wings

With the new rule can you take a chance under committing?

I have been disappointed on his recruiting we have spread the numbers around and do not see the purpose of a kicker for one year. So far in my mind Les Miles was a better recruiter than O as head coach.. que but look how many top LA recruits we have gotten. Its a down year in LA overall.

If this kid lights it up, all will be forgiven

No, we went heavy on linemen becuz we didn’t have the depth, and unlike waiting for the 1 or 2 five star linemen, O got 3-5 lesser rated players, and I think many of the players will be underrated
Just my thoughts

I think we gambled and lost with the ruling on the kicker but that is ok. At least we have a good kicker for next year.

according to the rant logic, you drop the two lowest rated signees and then sign the highest recruiting services rated guys in order to secure a high ranked recruiting class regardless of how good the players actually are. In this way we all feel better about our recruiting class.

For good reason, any more questions?

Really. If LSU had a kicker that could make easy field goals---- they would have beat Notre Dame. One kicker this year missed 3 extra points. The other is less than 50% in making easy field goals. Think about that!

LSU better be confident in the guys they think they are getting. LSU basically pushed away highly rated guys in Joiner and Watkins. For Watkins it was between LSU and Bama. Now Bama doesn't have room as he isn't committing at the Army game now. Watkins looks to be backing into Florida's class now.
