    Blacknall (almost 100 % definite this week, as soon as Monday afternoon/evening)
    McDowell
    Godchaux
    Quinn
    Harris (getting pretty damn near 100 %, announcing Thursday)

    are expected to commit, although these things never work out as planned, so we shall see

    One of the recruiting experts said LSU expects 4-6 commitments this weekend. I would think that would be spillover into the 2015 class rounding out that total.

    Let's not forget that 10 of the 11 current 2014 committed players plan to be at LSU and recruiting others to make their commitments to LSU. Plus 2015 stud defensive back, Kevin Toliver, plans to be there, and I would not be surprised if LSU gets 1 or 2 additional 2015 commitments.

    Jimmy Smith @ NOLA.com reports (07/12/2013)
    "LSU COMMITMENTS WILL SHOW UP IN FORCE: One of the biggest recruiting tools the Tigers may have this week will be the large contingent of current commitments that will be bonding with the others in attendance. Tight end Jacory Washington, cornerback Ed Paris, cornerback Chris Hardeman, safety Devin Voorhies, offensive lineman Will Clapp, wide receiver Tony Upchurch, offensive lineman Garrett Brumfield, athlete D.J. Chark, defensive end Deondre Clark, linebacker Donnie Alexander and 2015 cornerback commitment from Florida Kevin Toliver are all expected to be on hand and will be pleasantly encouraging other top prospects to join them in Purple and Gold. Don't underestimate the power of the peers."

    Can also add the possibility of a 2nd RB getting an offer like Williams. But have 2 others coming in to compete for that spot as well. I am strongly counting Fournette as the other RB but not committing this weekend.

    I think Harris is already a siletn commit from his last visit. I have had people hint at this but not coming straight out and saying it.

    Dupre could end it this week as well along with LB Garrett.

    I am really hoping my close family friend 2015 OL Grant Burguillos gets an offer after the Lineman camp on the 20th. Kid is a beast out of Manderville and I have been helping get his name out to the staff and recruiting boards. Meet with Stud, Henry, Cam, and Moffit on Wednesday at LSU.

    Correct ss, if LSU gets to 6 commitments from the camp this weekend it will be due to 2015 commits coming on board. I don't expect more than 3 commits for the 2014 class with the Harris silent being a 4th. So maybe a couple of 2015s come on board.

    247 Sports has a recent article on Grant Burguillos, but it's available only to subscribers ($): Link.

    Let me know what details you want...

    Went unnoticed for a while but then gained about 30+ pounds and hit a growth spurt. Closer to 6'5 280 now but very athletic. Based on what the coaches told him he is exactly what they are looking for in terms of versatility, size, and speed. Stud did a double take when they said he was only going to be a Junior this year.

    Been working with JJ McClesky often and hitting the camp circuit hard. Went to MSU camp and cancelled the rest to work with McClesky to get ready for the LSU Lineman camp on the 20th.

    One of my best friends is his uncle. His uncle's father is former LSU player Wrendall Nealy. Wrendall knows Sam Nadar from his days with LSU. I had to inform Sam Nadar that this was his grandson.

    Best of luck to the young man. If he puts in the hard work, good things will come.

    Sounds like a must take for LSU.
