we could actually sign a full class if les knows that there will be players leaving early. This class doesn't have to report until 2009. So It wouldn't surprise me if they sign 25. 26 if someone has agreed to grey shirt. Looks like Benton may be one of the 25 though.

We might get to a full class. Their likely will be more attrition with players getting into trouble, some upset about not playing and of course Juniors leaving early. Plus, you can get some to greyshirt. I think we might be able to sign a full class this year. Two has already been freed up with Jones/RP leaving.

Al woods has been projected as a possible top ten pick in next years draft. Not saying its my opinion, but if that is where he projects, why come back?

Yes some have projected that but those are by columnist that dont know what theyre talking about. They know his size and rating coming out of high school and thats what they are basing that off of. He wont get the playing time to be drafted that high, so why not come back next season and improve his draft stock.

Drake Nevis is a better DT, he has a better chance of going pro and hes not even eligible.

I'll give you RJF for the grades reason. Ciron, if he has another great year barring any kind of injury, ok. Keiland, it would take a Heisman-type year for him to leave without getting his degree. But Chris Hawkins and Danny Mccray?! They aren't going anywhere unless they are having problems I don't know about. The only place I see them going, if so, is Jackson State.

Tahj Jones will be a definite on the list.He is a want and need of Les and Bradly Dale.He is rated second on their list of LB's.Inside info and very reliable.

If thats true then I am not going to be a happy camper.

Are you sure he is not #2 in the STATE OF LA? That would make since. Mingo at #1 and Jones at #2.

There is NO WAYYYYYY that Jones is above Jarvis Jones or Jon Bostic on their board. Not to mention Chris Williams.

That was the number before all the attrition. I would expect a full class to be signed (25). Mark Snyder is gone. Max Holmes and Matt Allen transfered. Jordon Corbin's career is over because of an injury. Ryan Perrilloux is gone. Jarvis Jones is gone. Duplessis and Benton won't qualify.
