3 remaining spots left. Who will end up as the 3rd commit?

surprise

^^^^^ this

I think we can still swing Goodrich if we plan the visit right and blow him away. Dabo and crew could also but that's the beauty.

I've got mixed feelings on the last spot. Don't want Beal unless the plan from jump is OT. Add his frame and ability to move with Wires and that's quite a duo for the new OL coach to mold into studs. I'll take that. No TE
Washington would be fine but not sexy. I thought he could be a contributor earlier so no reason to not think so now.
If we don't have a surprise guy to press under wraps then my preference is to hold the scholarship as long as needed. Scour the country looking for a CB whether a late blooming hs kid, juco kid or transfer that the staff thinks can help and get him. If no one emerges,hold it until 19.

No way you move Beal to the OL, kid is too athletic for his size. He'll make a natural pass catching TE, and I think he can be an excellent blocker at TE also. He just has that prototypical NFL TE size that he'll be highly sought after if LSU intends on employing a passing offense like Ensminger is saying.

Since the 2019 class is stacked, why not move that scholarship to next year and sign 26? Isn’t that an option if you don’t sign the full 25 per year?

Not anymore. Can’t back count it.

Do you not remember Adarius Washington who has been committed for quite some time?

Logic says that's the route to go with A) stacked 2019, as you said and B) the value of countback spots now.

On the other hand:
- I hate we had to pass on Mike Williams, I think he's going to be a really solid player and a starter. Might not lead in tackles or sacks, but he'll be that guy that shows up every game and play.

- I'd hate to not give an open slot to Washington. Good player and part of me says he's 'earned it' if available. The PR/marketing value of such a move MIGHT outweigh the logic above.

- We haven't backed off Foster, just for these reasons from what I understand. He might have backed off us because of priorities... and then again that might change if he gets that 'we have a spot after all' call. Do we take Foster over Empty/Beal/Washington? I personally don't see the great need at QB this year; but in the end that question will likely be answered by Ensminger. He'll say he's good for missing a year, or that he's concerned enough where he wants Foster in the pipeline. He's seen both Brennen and Narcisse in enough action.

If CSE was worried about both (which is not the case), there would be full-on for Foster. If he's worried about 1 of the 2, Foster will get that call. If he's satisfied with both their progress up to now, it's anybody's guess.

They can get 2 QB's in next years class I think and pass on Foster, but it's down to those last 3 I would say.

You really need to begin staggering the QBs which means there is a need for one in this class, but it may not be possible. That puts them behind in terms of QBs on the roster being developed that aren't walk-ons. That will give you 4 really good arms almost every spring. It will probably be very difficult to bring in two really good ones in any class going forward especially if you fail to get one this year.

Goodrich will not be in this class.

I really think Beal is going to A&M.

Wouldn't be surprised to see Keys III
