ETA: Jimmy's percentages from the recruiting chat

---

Marvin Wilson, DT, 6-4, 329, Episcopal HS (TX), 85%--I would say that may be fair right now, but I would slide it back just a hair. 85% is about as high as I will go on any prospect, and I'm not confident enough about Wilson to give it that.

Racey McMath, WR, 6-3, 215, Edna Karr HS 85%--I think 85% is fair here. He is a take, and the only thing I could keeping him out would be a commitment from D Smith and Nico Collins, or a run of 3-4 linebacker commitments.

Travis Etienne, RB, 5-11, 210, Jennings HS, 75%--I don't feel confident about Etienne right now. The offer did come a little late, and there is still some damage control that needs to be done. Tennessee is in a stronger position than LSU IMO. The Tigers will be able to go in-depth with him on the 27th.

Todd Harris, S, 6-0, 180, Plaquemine HS, 70%--Harris wants in and the Tigers will likely have room. 70% sounds about right.

Jacob Phillips, LB, 6-3.5, 228, E Nashville Magnet School (TN), 65%--I like LSU's chances here. I think they flip him this weekend, so 65% sounds good to me.

Willie Gay, LB, 6-1.5, 223, Starkville HS (MS), 60%--I think LSu has a good shot here, but it's hard to bet against Miss St. on a kid in their backyard. Recruiting Mississippi LB's hasn't worked well in the past, which has me hesitant a bit.

Phidarian Mathis, DT, 6-4, 287, Neville HS, 55% --I think it's pretty close here. Alabama may have a slight edge, but some people surrounding his recruitment see it the other way around. I was feeling Mathis and Alabama early in December, and I'm kinda back there now.

Christopher Allen, LB, 6-4, 234, Southern Lab HS, 50%--I'd say more like 25%. I just don't see him flipping. I may be wrong.

K’Lavon Chaisson, WDE/LB, 6-4, 211, North Shore HS (TX), 50%--I may go a hair over 50% here. I think LSU made quite the impression over the last two weeks.

Devonta Smith, WR, 6-1, 160, Amite HS, 40%--I am back to around 25-30% on Smith ending up in BR.
