That's just crazy good. It's a list like that (and the fact that it's completely realistic) that demonstrates LSU's step up into elite status. It's gonna be a fun ride...
http://www.bastropenterprise.com/sports/x1600194344/Randle-living-under-microscope Randle seems to not want to tip his hand just yet. He is playing quarterback this year, so that may be one reason.
I think we have all pretty much come to the conclusion that QB will NOT be the position for which Mr. Randle will be recruited.
Completely agree with that. Just reading the article though implies that he is looking at all options, and is not a lock for us just yet.
Time to update my projections: QB - Done RB(0/1) - Michael (50%), Richardson (20%), Miller (10%), Lacy (5%), Hardy (5%) FB(0/1) - Opurum (10%), Allen (5%) WR(1/2) - Randle (95%), Debose (40%), Kelly (15%), Appleton (10%), McNeal (10%), Brown (10%), Evans (5%) TE(0/1) - Wilson (30%), Charles (20%) OL(1) - Su’a-Filo (50%), Nixon (15%), Hall (15%), Martinez (5%) ATH(0/1) - Claiborne (10%) DL(1/2) - McFarland (51%), Sentimore (50%), Dye (30%), Campbell (20%), Stinson (20%), Montgomery (15%), Coleman (5%), Drummond (5%) LB(1/2) - Mingo (95%), Bostic (50%), Williams (40%), JJones (25%), Barrow (10%), TJones (5%), Telfort (5%), Jenkins (5%) S(1/2) - Loston (95%), Brent (25%), Armstrong (20%), Myles (20%), Johns (10%), Scott (5%), Webster (5%) DB(0/1) - Lynn (30%), Smith (30%), Carter (5%) In order of importance for LSU (those listed with at least 30% chance): 1) Randle 2) Loston 3) McFarland 4) Michael 5) Debose 6) Smith 7) Su-a-Filo 8) Bostic 9) Sentimore 10) Lynn 11) Dye 12) Mingo 13) Williams 14) Wilson Note: If LSU finishes with this class and Benton qualifies and either of Faulk/Jackson/Ford get upgraded to a 5th star, not only will this be the best class of 2009, it will be the best class in recruiting history.
Pretty damn good list. I think Williams is our best shot at LB, then Bostic. Of course I disagree about Michael being so high on the list. I think in time he will be in this class but he isnt at all a priority to be that high IMO. He is a best available player with how stacked we are at that position. I think Sentimore is more important. He is a super talent and more importantly he is from Louisiana. I really hope he gets an offer. I also think we have a really good shot at Campbell. Overall I like the list, I just listed my disagreements. Id like a big time OL but I dont see any of them being a part of this class.
Hey Isl, Question for you. What's the reason with Sentimore only getting 50%? Do you feel that because of grades he won't get an offer?
If you notice, my initial projection was for Williams. Williams wants to be a Tiger, I just don't know if we will offer him. We may not even offer him if Bostic goes elsewhere, although his chances for an offer would increase considerably. I like Bostic better but I would be happy with either.
Thanks for the info. Only surprise to me on your list in Mingo at #12. I thought he'd rank higher in need and talent.
