Obviously the past 12 days have gone about as well as anyone could have hoped. It seems like we have some clear targets left to recruit between now and December and was wondering if I had a pretty good handle on who is left on the coaches’ radar.

It seems to me the main thing left is to recruit the best players in the state and to make sure our out-of state commitments are pleased with their relationships with the coaches and the direction of the program.

Are these our primary targets? I included their position and 24/7 composite rankings

In-State
Shelton Sampson Jr (30), WR
Zalence Heard (78), OT
Tyree Adams (209), OT
Caden Jones (402), OG
Jordan Matthews (141), CB
Curley Reed (155), CB
Derek Williams (37), S. At least see if he can flip, right?
Kylin Jackson (134), S
Khai Prean (249), Ath

Rickie Collins (206), QB. I understand he’s likely solid to Purdue

Jaiden Ausberry (69), LB. I realize he’s a long shot and still don’t know exactly what is gong on with the Ausberry family

Tackett Curtis (81), LB. An even bigger can of worms than Ausberry. I realize neither player is likely to come to LSU.


Out of State
A’Mauri Washington (111), DT from Arizona
Paul Mubenga (727), OT
Nyckoles Harbor (7), Ath
TJ Shanahan (145), OG from Texas

Who am I missing from out of state? Thanks.

Tacky Curtains already eliminated LSU.

He's down to USC, Ohio St., and Wisconsin

I think we really have to get Sampson, Heard and Adams from in state. I'd love to get Matthews and/or Reed, and a few others in state. Out of state I'm glad we recruited a great DL from OOS.

If you can close with
quote:

Shelton Sampson Jr (30), WR
Zalence Heard (78), OT
Tyree Adams (209), OT,Curley Reed (155), CB
Derek Williams (37), S, Kylin Jackson (134), S
Khai Prean (249), Ath, Rickie Collins (206), QB, A’Mauri Washington (111), DT, Nyckoles Harbor (7), Ath




and also nab
quote:

Chase Bisontis, Javien Toviano and DJ Chester
,












I think everyone on that list is certainly gettable and you still have a ton of room for LB and TE transfers to round out the roster. That class calculator put you at 306 on 247 and is likely a solidly top 5 class.







Oh and a sidenote, it would mean that Brian Kelly's first full class is higher ranked than any class under Miles or Orgeron.

What is the max number of high schoolers we can sign? Is it still 25, with a total of 32 newcomers?

If so, I can see us going with 25 recruits and 7 transfers.

No limit. Just need to stay under the 85 scholarship cap.

There is no limit. You just have to have no more than 85 scholarship players when the season starts

You can take as many as you want as long as your roster doesn't go over 85 total players. I suspect they'll take something like 27-28 HS players and round out the rest with transfers.

This is absolutely amazing work that you put together.



OOS
TJ Shanahan is going to A&M
Chase Bisontis is the one to watch
A’Mauri Washington sounds like LSU is pushing
Paul Mubenga not going to LSU
Nyckoles Harbor sounds like Tigers are making a move

Thanks. Is Mubenga not being pursued by LSU much at the moment?

Someone (might have been you) listed some out of state linemen a few weeks ago but I couldn’t find it again so I was really guessing on the out of state OL.

Xzavier McLeod out of South Carolina. Likely staying close to home but I think we will have a hat on the table

They're pushing but it sounds like Michigan is too much to overcome at this time.

I am fine losing Derek if we get Kylin. Would really love to have Matthews as well. Derek really feels like he could be a flipper from UT. If that is the case, I hope it is us and not Bama. Heard and Sampson to me are the highest priority. If we land those two, and no one else on this list I would be okay. Thanks for the post and work!

He’s not SEC caliber. Only reason to go to one of those trash schools with no hope of winning a national championship.
