Ray Parker belongs here as well. Top 11 is very strong this year. It's still very early, so I wouldn't be surprised if 3 or 4 more guys are added to this list after a while.

What about Kimbrough,Torbor, Tounge and all the other dB's. How deep do we go?

I counted 6 Louisiana guys (not in the top tier) that have some pretty big offers. Like you said...there are like 6 or 7 in-state db's that could eventually get an offer. Some people like RB Mike Hollins (Bama offer) as well.

OLB Makiya Tongue - Auburn, Clemson, Michigan, Texas
WR Quinton Torbor - Auburn, Georgia
QB Lance Legendre - Alabama, Florida State
CB Chester Kimbrough - Alabama, Florida, Georgia, Michigan
OLB Bryton Constantin - Clemson, Auburn, Florida
SDE Earl Barquet - Florida State, Georgia, Oklahoma

On a side note...what the hell is this guy doing? Tyrone Lewis...CB from Hammond.

think it's a great sign that they are looking for a reason to still pick LSU despite all of the negatives that they are witnessing

rather "all of the negatives they are reading about on this board".

despite opinions to the contrary, LSU football is not collapsing. while Orgeron has made mistakes his fate will still be determined by future wins or losses. he has done a lot of things right and he is trying to upgrade the LOS's and the passing game, things we were declining in the last few years of the Miles regime.

our schedule this year, despite being one of the toughest (if not THE toughest) in the nation will be his most significant test. since the Louisiana talent is stellar in '19 that will either be the beginning or the end for him.

until that time, I will not judge him. his past is his past. I will reserve my judgement until February, 2019.

Agree about Parker as I was just going by the list there this weekend. I'm also very impressed with the Constantin kid. He's been the top LB at both major events(army combine/rivals 3 stripe Mobile) and Clemson loves him. Enough for me. I know we have a loaded ILB board with Starks, Harris(maybe we apparantly want as F-Back), possibly Dean , Edwards etc. and I trust Aranda but I hope we take another good look and see if he's a guy to press.
DB is loaded. Maybe not but one elite guy, maybe you could put Bush there but lots of guys that can play. We need big numbers at CB and if we want 5, likely 4, then this is the year to do it. Instate kids will say numbers be damned sometimes and jump on the home team even as the 5th guy. Find the ones we really want and pull them. Gonna be a good year.

That’s true nothing negative at all about getting pounded by Miss St, losing to Troy and blowing bowl game

Well the recruits are smart enough to realize and see it as a positive that LSU was playing over 30 freshmen last year. They now know that if they are good enough they will play. Maybe not start like the 12 this previous season including two on the O-line but they will get to play early.

Unlike the idiots on the Rant that have tunnel vision the 16, 17 & 18 year old kids considering attending LSU probably have common sense.

Also a great point because I’m sure the recruits are well aware that LSU never played young guys before last year, stars like Leonard Fournette, Tyrann Matthieu, Patrick Peterson, OBJ and scored of others over the years NEVER saw the field as freshman. Nope they are all hyper aware of anecdotes cherry picked by O sycophants. And of course there is absolutely nothing negative said at all outside of the Rant

You should take you hatred of LSU to the Rant. People who purposely try to hinder LSU's recruiting effort on the LSU recruiting board usually aren't around very long.

BUT, to humor your dumb self while you are here: This was through week 7 of the 2017 season.

this is about true freshmen and doesn't take into account the redshirt freshmen.
