It appears there will be around 20 top 100 players, based on rivals rating attending our camp. I don't recall how many attended in previous years, but this seems like a lot of highly ranked recruits to me. How does this compare to camps of previous years?
I have gone through the list and it is very impressive and probably the best ever to come in for a single camp. I will get a few names for yall later.

LSU has never made a big deal out of their camp before, but it appears that we're moving that direction as Florida & USC both have success with their's. There will be a lot of big-time players there, probably more so than any other year in recent memory - with more out of state guys this year as well.
Don't expect many meaningful quotes out of Loston because he never says much to begin with. I think we are going to land him in the end but one reason he committed was to calm the process down some. Him saying anything positive about LSU at this point would just spark more interest in his decision and negate the fact he committed in the 1st place. Remember last camp Miles and staff told recruiting reps to not release anything about him visiting for at least a few days after he left campus. He doesn't want interviews, etc... Clemson fans are not getting anything as well but continue to say he is solid for some reason when they are getting less information than we are. He was at the A&M camp last week and I heard they did not even see him standing next to a coach just staying to himself and hanging out with other prospects. If you hear anything it will be from another recruit or a boring interview that tells us nothing. Might even say Clemson is solid to avoid the pressure and speculation. I will take that as a good sign.
Loston confimed to be coming this weekend. That's a good thing (wink wink). Also, Lonnie Pryor is coming (nice surprise). Jarvis Jones will be coming also. Jon Bostic is not, but will fly up here with his father in early August. No worries there.
The seminole trio and Williford are already on campus. Pratt, RS, and Loston are together and on their way.
Also, Shep convinced McFarland to jump in the car on the way down to BR. Three 5* and one 4* all coming together.
