This is really a tough call from a personnel management standpoint. I firmly believe the staff had full intentions of taking both guys and kicker Cole Tracy not counting against the 25-man limit. I’ve still yet to see a solid explanation of why Tracy counts, but hey, it’s the LSU and the NCAA so I never expect any breaks. But, what’s done is done and now the staff is sitting with a decision between four-star, top-100ish defensive back Mario Goodrich and four-star, top-300ish quarterback James Foster.

He's uninformed, if he doesn't understand that a grad transfer still counts as an initial counter. That's not a new rule that was just put in place last year.

And just because you are in the know about recruiting doesn't mean you automatically know the rules. Look at how many regional and national recruiting "experts" perpetuated the myth that the NCAA had imposed a 25 player hard cap that would prevent counting EE's in the previous class.

The staff was definitely trying to sign 26 guys, but the issue wasn't that they didn't think Tracy would count. The issue was that they were trying to say Seth Stewart should NOT have counted in the 2017 class, thus giving them room to sign 26 guys in 2018. I believe that under the previous rules Stewart would NOT have counted, but under the new rules he did.
