Correct. Rarely do you have a situation like 2005 where we took only 15 recruits. So I agree we are in the low 20 range, at a minimum.
LSU better get on Ishmael Wilson before that door closes... He is going to Texas this weekend and they're almost surely going to offer. They need to offer him before Texas so he can commit here... Do not see how the staff can overlook someone that good... I also think we'll have closer to 25 than people think too. We'll have at least 3 underclassmen leaving next year, possibly more, IMO. Natural attrition will also happen with discipline, transfers, medical, etc. We have 3 ships right now and I know Miles said they will go to players on the team but that doesn't mean they'll get them in 2013. So that is 2-3 right there. 3 underclassmen leaving would open the ships up to about 18 or so...without extra attrition.
We had 10 Srs. in this upcoming roster, Drew will get one and will be a Sr. this year making the total 11. Then you have a few that could come out after their Jr. year.
I only worry about stars when we're not targeting specific positions. You can't expect a top-5 class when you're trying to load up on basically two positions like this year. That's gonna dilute the "star value" but doesn't make a poor class. Contrast that to 2009 and 2011 when were really pulling the best of the best regardless of position. I would assume this would be another target year with a concentration on receivers and positions in the trenches.
I am thinking a max of 2 LBs and 1 RB and QB. Concentrating on the trenches along with TEs, WRs, and DBs.
