No, the NCAA accepted our scholarship reduction that we self-imposed last year.

I could see us finishing something like this:

21.) Landon Collins
22.) Channing Ward
23.) Lorenzo Phillips
24.) Jeremy Liggins
25.) D'haquille Williams
26.) Jeremy Hill
27.) Richie Brown
28.) Anthony Alford

I know thats 28 but I don't see Alford making it to campus and with taking #25 and #26 I can see maybe a Reid Ferguson and Kavahra Holmes possibly greyshirting. If Alford (hopefully) was to make it to campus maybe LSU can greyshirt someone like Jerqwinick Sandolph.

That list could have a lot of changes obviously. If LSU can pull Denzel Devall then maybe Miss State gets Richie Brown. If LSU loses out on Channing Ward then maybe they shift their focus to flipping Nick James to join Richie Brown. And I know its blasphemy but if LSU loses out on Landon Collins (knock on wood), you could see a Deon Bush.

Some guys that could force change to that list but maybe considered pipe dreams are:

Mario Edwards
Jelani Hamilton
Quay Evans
Eddie Goldman
Raphael Kirby
Tracy Howard
Dwayne Standford

I say all this but I'm not super sure about greyshirting 2 or 3 guys. You could look at it two ways. LSU is on a hot streak winning right now, so you take advantage of that. Auburn capatilized on their national championship at the end of last years recruiting cycle. If they don't finish strong, this years hot team will instead reap the benefits. Hopefully that hot team is LSU. But the other side of this is that I fully expect LSU to be next years hot team as well. So you can continue to reap the benefits. If LSU rolls two or three guys over to next year but continue to be the hot team we will just take another 22 or 23 studs. The way I see it is win win for the purple and gold.

You can only sign 25, no matter if they make it to campus or not. But I like your list though

Not quite. You can sign 28 if and only if 3 count back to the previous year's class. If I am not mistaken however we don't have a spot open from the previous class.

I know u can only sign 25 and that u can count back to the last year( though I agree I don't think LSU has a spot as I believe Jerrand Randle made the 23rd and final spot with the self imposed sanctions though I'm not 100% sure about that). But I also thought (correct me if I'm wrong) that you could ask recruits to greyshirt. Which I was thinking that meant LSU could bring in those 28 and ask some lower scouted guys such as Ferguson and Holmes to greyshirt meaning they would count toward next years (2013) class?

That's why I was thinking if LSU could bring in those 28. Roll (greyshirt) 3 guys over to next year. Sign 22 studs as well next year and then you would have 25 total this year (2012) and 25 total next year (2013) ?
