2022 Recruiting Class - Prioritizing LA targets (UPDATED)

As has been mentioned previously, Louisiana has a very talented (and deep) crop of football prospects for the 2022 cycle. And while LSU is expected to pull heavily from in-state (LA) for this class, we will inevitably miss out on a few. In this vein, curious as to how everyone views LA recruits from a "priority for LSU" standpoint.

I broke it down by including the top-25 or so in-state (LA) prospects in one (1) of four (4) "tiers", which are described as follows:

"Tier 1" - Elite talents (top-50ish) that are highest priority regardless of LSU's positional needs in 2022.

"Tier 2" - Great talents (top-500ish) that play positions of greatest need at LSU in 2022 (OL, DL, LB, & DB).

"Tier 3" - Great talents (top-500ish) that don't play positions of greatest need at LSU in 2022, but guys we definitely don't want leaving Louisiana.

"Tier 4" - Very good talents who may or may not receive an LSU offer.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
My list of priorities for 2022 in-state (LA) prospects would be something like this:

"Tier 1" priorities
1) Walker Howard, QB
2) Will Campbell, OT
3) Jacoby Mathews, S/LB
4) J'mond Tapp, WDE
5) Emery Jones, OG
6) Le'veon Moss, RB
7) Shazz Preston, WR

"Tier 2" priorities
8) Kendrick Law, Ath/S
9) Laterrance Welch, CB
10) Javae Gilmore, OLB
11) Jordan Allen, CB/S
12) Maxie Baudoin, IV, DT
13) Bo Bordelon, OC/OG

"Tier 3" priorities
14) Tygee Hill, DT
15) Quency Wiggins, SDE
16) Aaron Anderson, WR
17) Trevonte Citizen, RB/ILB
18) Decoldest Crawford, WR
19) AJ Johnson, WR
20) Trevor Etienne, RB
21) Shone Washington, DT

"Tier 4" priorities
22) Cam East, OT
23) Kailep Edwards, ILB
24) Lorenzell Dubose, CB
