As I posted a few months ago and have seen nothing to change my opinion, I think LSU will get an outstanding class of LBers. I think LSU signs 4. Keion Joyner (5*-NC), Devin White (high 4*-LA), Michael Divinity (high 4*-LA), and the guy that has 0 predictions for LSU at the moment on 24/7, Jeffrey McCulloch (high 4*- TX).
BREAKING: LSU grabs a DT commitment Shea Dixon - 32 minutes ago LSU received some huge news on Wednesday when Destrehan rising senior Glen Logan committed to the Tigers. Logan confirmed the news through a text message to the Geaux247 staff. The four-star out of the New Orleans area is ranked as a Top247 prospect, and he chose LSU over offers from double-digit schools including Texas A&M and Alabama. This is LSU's 11th commitment for the 2016 class and the second defensive tackle to join the fold, joining five-star Louisiana standout Ed Alexander.
That would be incorrect. He had LSU at the top of the list for a while. Something happened between him and LSU and he committed to Bama.

This is getting good....... Two huge visitors for LSU Shea Dixon - 4 hours ago The LSU staff has been on a recruiting roll this summer, upping the commitment total to 17 - and moving into the lead spot with the No. 1 class on the 247Sports Team Rankings. (Photo: Josh Newberg, 247Sports) Now, the Tigers will get their chance to host one of the nation's most coveted prospects, and they will have some help from five-star commitment Saivion Smith along the way. Not only is Smith - LSU's highest-ranked commitment - headed back to Baton Rouge for a visit, but he will be bringing five-star defensive lineman and IMG Academy teammate Shavar Manuel. "Saivion and Shavar will be visiting LSU this weekend," said Anthony Smith, Saivion's father. "He will be bringing his fellow IMG teammate to LSU to sell him on why he should be a Tiger." Manuel, who has become a major target for the Tigers and defensive line coach Ed Orgeron, is ranked as the No. 1 strongside defensive end prospect in the country and the No. 6 overall prospect in the 2016 class. Smith is ranked as the No. 2 prospect in Florida, behind only Manuel, and the No. 11 overall prospect in the country. Stay tuned to Geaux247 for more on the Florida five-star tandem's visit.
More: LSU makes a move on 5-star DE Shavar Manuel during visit LSU defensive backs coach Corey Raymond. (LSU Sports Information) By James Smith, NOLA.com | The Times-Picayune on June 29, 2015 at 11:47 AM LSU wrapped up a small, but important recruiting weekend as it hosted five-star cornerback commitment Saivion Smith, his father, five-star defensive end Shavar Manuel, and his uncle. The duo is considered to be two of the premier prospects in the state of Florida, with Manuel making his first trip to Baton Rouge this weekend. LSU has quietly crept up his leader-board, but after this weekend, it's no longer a secret that the Tigers are in the mix. The two spent nearly all weekend with LSU coaches, most notable defensive backs coach Corey Raymond, who is the lead recruiter for the IMG Academy standouts. When not with the staff, the two hung around a lot of current LSU players. LSU standout sophomore defensive lineman Davon Godchaux spent a lot of time with Manuel, giving him a good read on what to expect as a freshman defensive lineman at LSU. Those conversations could prove to be vital as Manuel, much like Godchaux in 2014, wants to make an impact as a true freshman. LSU safeties Jamal Adams and Jalen Mills have befriended Saivion Smith during prior visits, and they spent a lot of time around the prep teammates as well. Sources felt that LSU was in a good spot with Manuel prior to his visit, but see the Tigers as real threats now that he has departed from Baton Rouge. His uncle, one of the most influential family members in Manuel's life, was very comfortable with what he witnessed during his stay. LSU will now focus on getting Manuel's aunt, another influential person in his life, on campus in the near future. There was a lot of chatter that Manuel may have committed to LSU this weekend. That's not the case, although sources say there was certainly some discussion about him being a Tiger. The LSU staff has a great understanding of how difficult it would be to secure a signature from the highly sought after Florida standout, and remain optimistically cautious about their standing with the 6-3, 290-pound prospect. The duo are not expected to be back for LSU's July prospect camp, with IMG Academy starting its football schedule on July 20, but there is a possibility they could make it back to campus prior to that date, although it doesn't seem likely right now. Expect them to take official and unofficial visits to campus once the season starts, though.
