Eugene, McCoy, Dixon, Mitchell, Williams and Deas

I don't think Miami is recruiting Deas. Auburn is after him hard though and is probably in the lead.

 

After the Peach Bowl the only "U" is "LSU" !

 

so how many recruits are lsu allowed to sign this offseason??

 

Look for LSU to sign between 27-29 recruits. I've read where 1 or 2 might not be fully qualified and will have to be placed in JUCO or a Prep school for one year.

 

I think 25 is the most that can sign this class to have all fully qualified. + I think we have a greyshirt from last season that will count in this class. I've heard the number 28 as a number that the coaches would likely sign.

You also have to consider whether the coaches are going to give any walk-ons scholarships.

 

Over-signing IS legal (per article in SI sometime last year) as long as you don't go over the maximum (i.e. you can't have more than "X" number of scholarships for the entire team).

 

Right. You can oversign, but some of those signees aren't going to be on scholarship next season. Most likely, the couple that don't qualify. And if we are still oversigned with qualified kids, I guess they would greyshirt them & put him into the next signing class.

 

Chris Mitchell said that he has already made his choice. Then he shows how good he is at keeping secrets by saying in a Scout article that 'LSU is his team.'

 

McCoy is said to be an OU lock... I think Woods is getting in his ear a bit though... they are roomies at the AAA game and McCoy has said that if he picks LSU, Woods will be his roommate... they have become good friends since meeting at LSU on their visit... Just hope McCoy doesnt convince Woods to go the other direction...

 

I don't think so....at least not with a position coach like Dunbar coaching you for the next 4-5 years.

Now, I don't know who coaches the D-line at OU, but I think LSU has proved to be "D-Line University" the past few years: (McFarland, Jarvis Green, Marquise Hill, Marcus Spears, Chad Lavalais, Kendrick Allen, and Wroten and Williams set to join the NFL this year).

Now, Dunbar hasn't been in charge of the D-line for very long, but with his track record (having coached in the NFL--and being good at it mind you), you definately are getting a coach that can certainly develope players and help them reach their potential. And knowing Dunbar is LSU-through-and-through, having played here himself, as a player, you know the chances of him leaving for another college program are slim to none.
