re: Take 30 in 2016 and 20 in 2017...National Power for years!!

The best way to lock these kids in is win. We need at least 10 wins. We win and we get em. Not saying we can't get most of them with our recruiters but winning sure makes these kids want to be here. If a kid wants to leave the state we shouldn't hold that against him. Don't forget that a lot of recruits come from out of state. Just win baby

At most we can sign 26, that hoping brandon Martin doesn't qualify.

Sir, I don't think my list is sh.t. I know I left off the OOS guys...just trying to say if they are going be Tigers. Let's do this! Commit or we'll take the in-state guys who really want to come to LSU.

We need commitments not just talk. Yes, kids can still take a few visits but at the same time. Coach Miles doesn't have to fool around with that BS in 2016.

You are either in or out! We've got some big time talent in the state in 2016.

And my LBers are not backups. They are 4 star guys without question, if you know talent.

Just because the services don't have them listed that doesn't mean that players are not high level players (especially Louisiana guys).

If I am correct...not many 5 star guys played in the Super Bowl. F the stars, man! We've got the JUICE in 2016. Every school in America will be in here trying to get some.

I want guys that are hungry, man. Need guys who want to eat, not already full!

And to all about the over signing...Bama signed 28-29 this past year, TENN signed 30...there is a way. Just have to figure it out. We have to, too much talent to lose in 2016.

Look at the depth at TE two years from now. You tell me if we need 1 or 2 in 2016. Washington has not played a down yet. We don't know how he will pan out yet...correct?

Back to the response...if those OOS guys are in. Tell me them to man up and commit! IF not, I think the LSU staff should focus in on the in-state kids that really want to play at LSU.

Because if you lose home, you are have lost everything. Les, take care of home first! I promise you, Coach. Louisiana will be very good to you over the next 4-5 years for sure.

The state has some very good talent in 2017 but not as deep as the class of 2016. That's why I say we over sign in 2016 and cut back in 2017.

Did we hire coach O partially because we need his help in locking in next year's class? IF we just get most of the top guys in the state next year we should be top 5 class.

Dee Anderson?

And you can't oversign and then undersign. That's not how it works. You under sign and then sign a lot. You have the space cleared to do that. You have 85 spots for scholarship players. Period. You can't oversign and then undersign. If you are gonna oversign, you gotta have the space available to do that. And you typically do that by undersigning, which we haven't done.

And verbal commits don't mena shite. Which is why Miles and Co don't rush and offer / take commits from any decent player in state. Recruting is a process and you let it play out. You don't just take commits asap and then call it quits, especially if there are bigger fish to reel in. And we have reeled in some big fish from OOS the last few years. We do a GREAT job in state and will continue to do that. But we also do a great job OOS. No need to force kids to commit asap because it doesn't mean anything. It's about who you sign.

This whole "either you are in or out, or we will move on to a guy who wants in now" is really dumb and I'm glad we don't do that. Who cares when they commit... It only matters where they sign. Think of the guys you would miss on if you did that... Like I said, recruiting is a process and you let it play out.

I don't think we need more than 2 QBs if we get Franks. There's not a very high chance of getting 3 top QB talents in one recruiting cycle anyway. No need to take a 3rd QB destined to sit the bench.

As far as running backs go, we need a maximum of 1. Hopefully it ends up being Devin White.

WR: Dee Anderson is a stud and Sullivan will make an impact. Maybe add one more if it's a top guy. 3 max.

Pettigrew better be the only tight end we sign unless the second coming of the Gronk wants in.

O Line we've got Campbell and hopefully Willie Allen and probably only 1 more. I agree with you there. 4 MAX.

So I'm saying MAX 11 offensive players: 2 QBs, 5 total between TEs, RBs, and WRs, and 4 OL.

Defense is a more complex situation than offense.

As far as interior DL goes, I agree with safetyman that ideally we want all these: Ed Alexander, Ed Oliver, Glen Logan, Stephon Taylor, Rashard Lawrence, and Briston Guidry.

At Linebacker we want Joyner and Divinity.

There is so much talent interested at corner for 2016. Trayvon Mullen, Kristian Fulton, John Broussard, Saivion Smith, Greedy Williams, Chad Clay. I see us taking 4-5 corners. Smith is probably the best of the bunch, but I think he will be a long shot. I really hope we go all in for Mullen. If we only get Mullen, Fulton, and Broussard I'll be more than happy.

We need a couple safeties. Anderson and Monroe are 2 top targets.

Realistically optimistic scenario on defense: We get 5 of the 6 guys I mentioned on the D Line. We get the 2 LBs I listed. We get Mullen, Fulton, Broussard, Deontay Anderson, and Monroe. We then have 2 or 3 more scholarships to play around with. Ideally these are used on LBs/Edge Rushers/Safeties.
