First off, I just want to give Brian Kelly, Corey Raymond, and this entire staff their due credit for how well the recruiting is going right now. LSU has the 3rd or 4th overall class right now, with every team ahead of them having numerous more commits than LSU right now. LSU has the highest rated average per recruit in the entire country. DJ Pickett committing to the good guys today is monumental. This is the exact reason Brian Kelly left Notre Dame. To land players like these, and to win a National Title, which we are gearing up to compete for, for the next decade in my eyes.

With all that said, let’s take a look and discuss our remaining targets. If I miss anybody, let me know, and I will add to OP. Using Rankings from ON3 composite.

5* S Jonah Williams. Galveston, Texas
Overall Rank 10 Position Rank 1 State Rank 3

5* WR Jamie Ffrench. Jacksonville, Florida
Overall Rank 18 Position Rank 4 State Rank 3

4* WR Derek Meadows. Las Vegas, Nevada
Overall Rank 41 Position Rank 7 State Rank 1

4* S Anquon Fegans. Alabaster, Alabama
Overall Rank 57 Position Rank 5 State Rank 4

4* CB Jaboree Antoine. New Iberia, Louisiana
Overall Rank 87 Position Rank 9 State Rank 2

4* DL Kevin Oatis. Hattiesburg, Mississippi
Overall Rank 265 Position Rank 23 State Rank 10

4* WR Jacob Washington. New Orleans, Louisiana
Overall Rank 279 Position Rank 44 State Rank 8
(Michigan Commit)

4* S CJ Jimcoily. Nashville, Tennessee
Overall Rank 388 Position Rank 36 State Rank 13

3* DL Reginald Vaughn. Jackson, Mississippi
Overall Rank 419 Position Rank 37 State Rank 14

3* WR Phillip Wright. Destrehan, Louisiana
Overall Rank 421 Position Rank 69 State Rank 12
(Michigan Commit)

3* DL Walter Mathis Jr. Savannah, Georgia
Overall Rank 451 Position Rank 41 State Rank 49

3* CB Aidan Anding. Ruston, Louisiana
Overall Rank 526 Position Rank 48 State Rank 16

3* TE Mike Tyler. Colombia, South Carolina
Overall Rank 695 Position Rank 38 State Rank 14

3* DL Xaiver Ukpuno. Denton, Texas
Overall Rank 1,010 Position Rank 99 State Rank 159

I thought this would be a good post to make, to give a clear picture, and to provide a look at all targets in one place so nobody has to do too much digging.

What are the criteria for listing them as a "target"? I am assuming you are using the offer listing and looking to see if they have an assigned recruiter but only because there are higher uncommitted recruits LSU has offered not on the list. If so, you may want to add Michael Fasusi. Also, Kaliq Lockett is probably a target seeing as how he has at least a marginal interest listed on ON3 (2.3% ) on their recruiting machine, I didn't see him on the list. Josh Petty is the other guy in the top 50 with an LSU offer and an assigned recruiter.


5* OT Michael Fasusi. Lewisville, Texas
Overall Rank 12 Position Rank 3 State Rank 5

5* WR Kaliq Lockett. Sachse, Texas
Overall Rank 17 Position Rank 3 State Rank 6

5* IOL Josh Petty. Roswell, Georgia
Overall Rank 29 Position Rank 2 State 7

I don't want this to look like I'm criticizing your work here. You did a great job, I am just trying to help if I can. Those are guys in the top 50 with an LSU offer and an assigned recruiter. Also, note that my inside sources with LSU football amount to 0.00 +/- 0 so you could have info from the janitor about who the targets are and you would be light years ahead of where I am.

On a side note, it would be kind of funny to have Picket and Lockett and a DB and WR Or maybe that's just my goofy sense of humor.

Im really hoping we can snag one of those 5 star receivers and/or safeties.
And of course getting Antoine back.

Not sure about Petty but I think LSU is not in the running for Fasusi and Lockett. Both I think go to Texas.

Thanks for this thread.

2 good WRs, another stud corner (Antoine), and a safety look to be biggest needs to fill out this class.

Sort of off-topic here, but what is the deal with Moses? I know not to look too deep into social media but this guy isn't reposting anything LSU related lately. He used to be vocal when we would get commits, and now nothing. Wasn't this guy supposed to be a class leader? What happened?

He posted big love for CR yesterday after the Pickett commit. I think he'll end up with the good guys, but he's quieted down about being the leader of the class so he can get paid to go on other visits. It's frustrating, but if I was 17 yrs old and someone paid me 5-10k to come get shmoozed for a weekend, I'd do it every time

I do think you are right, I'm just not sure what constitutes a "target" at this point. That is why I suggested maybe those guys who had a recruiter listed with the offer from LSU would be targets vs the few others who had offers but no recruiter listed.

Unexpected flips are always welcome though

Meadows + Antoine on Saturday

Mathis, Jimcoily, + Anding could pop any day

Feagans + Ffrench are probables for the Splash

Jonah may get back to campus again before the season starts

Jahkeem Stewart hanging out there as a big prize if he reclasses

A lot to look forward to

Plus LSU is working to flip a few studs that are currently committed elsewhere.

I suppose my criteria for considering a player a “target” was players I deemed we had a realistic shot at to end up landing. I know we will miss out on multiple of these guys, but I do think you see us end up landing a lot of these guys.

I thought about considering putting Kaliq Lockett, as well as Micha DeBose on the list, but from my understanding Lockett is no longer a realistic pull, and DeBose has cooled down on us.

Lots and lots of rumblings right now about Jonah Williams being higher on LSU than it has seemed previously.

Pickett and Lockett made me laugh as well - wonder who wins in practice??

That's reasonable, I'd say.
