Barkevious Mingo and Reuben Randle

Recruiting neophyte here. Saw the Rivals team top 100 on Yahoo's home page. Mentioned these two fellows on their respective team's entry.
Do we have a good shot and these guys, and/or where are they leaning ?

Most feel like we will land both.

Mingo=LSU's to lose
Randle=Open. Anyone's guess where he goes.

I wouldn't call Randle open when he has pretty much narrowed it down to LSU, Miami, Alabama, and maybe another team.

Those schools have just as good a shot as LSU at this point. Nobody knows where hes leaning to, so one would have to say hes very open atm.

Just as good a shot is leaving a lot on the table. I think we have more going for us than either of the other two and I like our chances.

I'd agree with you but we're not him. Every recruit has a different mindset. Why does Miami keep getting great recruits? Different recruits want different things. Maybe hes deadset on leaving Louisiana, despite what LSU has going for them. Not everyone loves LSU from Louisiana. Like I said, we have to just assume hes open because nobody has been able to get a clue of who he is favoring. Hes kept it pretty well guarded and really hasn't had any slips in interviews. So, for anyone saying hes a LSU lean, is purely speculation, especially when his own brother has said hes very much so open.

It's easy to explain why Miami is getting recruits. South Fl was loaded last year, it's south beach which can't be recruited against easily, and Randy Shannon has given the fanbase some hope to believe they are on the right track. Personally, I am not impressed by his gameday coaching but you can't argue with his good recruiting efforts thus far. But uncertainty at quarterback will hurt them this year and UF is going to steamroll them.
And I didn't say he was a lean, but I did say I felt good about our chances. And I have no reason to not believe that at this juncture. He has made it pretty clear that proximity to home is very important and he doesn't come across as a guy that is ready to leave the state. Leaving the state to go to Tuscaloosa isn't exactly leaving the known the world and experiencing something totally different.

where the hell is Mingo going to go besides LSU, really ...I think we can count on him
I think we get Randle too in the end ...the depth chart is not unfavorable to lose him to an out-of-state school... We lose Byrd this year and will have several Seniors the following year... missing out on Brown last year when we counted on him, as well as Benton's academic issues, has set us back to a degree at that position...
I think we took MyMy because we have his two brothers and I'm not convinced he will be a major contributer to the reciving corp.

USC makes me the most nervous for obvious reasons... he could jump right in and contribute there as well with Turner leaving, etc.
I think Miami has another poor year in '08 and Randle can't serious believe that would be a better situation than at LSU

Bama, K-State and USC have all shown great interest in Mingo. I believe he will be a Tiger but he definetly has other options.
