Great Article: This weekend's recruits and NSD.

This weekend may have gone a long way in determining who is awarded those final few scholarships and who will don the purple and gold for the next four or five years.

Up to 15 recruits—including several players who had previously committed to other schools—are taking official visits to Baton Rouge.

Trovon Reed —a five-star prospect from Thibodaux, La.—is considered the top WR in Louisiana and committed Auburn on Nov. 13, but coaches in his home state have stayed in touch and LSU is now thought to have a decent chance of landing his services.

Jarrett Fobbs —a Shreveport standout who is committed to Texas A&M—is a versatile four-star receiver with the ability to carry out of the backfield and is considered to be a Percy Harvin-type athlete with good size and breakaway speed.

His commitment to Texas A&M is considered soft, and he has not visited campus. With visits only to LSU and Ole Miss scheduled, Fobbs is receiving the red-carpet treatment and has become an important target for the Tigers.

Kadron Boone —a former Texas Tech four-star WR commit—is also considered a top priority and may be leaning toward the Tigers. The Florida standout is taking his final visit to Baton Rouge this weekend and has LSU listed as one of his three finalists.

James Wright —a four-star WR from Belle Chase, La.—has long been considered a lean to LSU and would likely see time early in his career if he becomes a Tiger.

Justin Parker —a three-star line backer—and Brandon Jackson —a three-star defensive tackle—are among the other expected visitors not already committed to the Tigers.

LSU has a strong need at the wide receiver position—due to the recent de-commitment of two out-of-state prospects—and several of these guys could have an immediate impact.

Nonetheless, with a strong finish, this class—which was expected to be down due to a lack of top Louisiana prospects—could be one of the top five in the country and will only strengthen one of the most talented teams in the nation.
