Playing around with this 247sports recruiting class points calculator, I projected LSU getting their 8 most likely gets as well as Alabama's 3 likely gets (that are highly ranked): LSU....... = 313.68 (Fournette, Noil, Willis, Dupre, Brown, Adams, Young, Valentine) = 24 players Alabama = 313.83 (Humphrey, Tabor, Wallace) = 26 players Remaining players' point values that could impact the final class ranking (approximate value) that both teams have a shot at: Hootie Jones = 4.6 (Trending to Ole Miss) Lorenzo Carter = 5.6 (Trending to Georgia) Remaining players that each team individually is in the running for (long shots): LSU: Malik McDowell = 4.8 (Trending to Michigan State) Adoree' Jackson = 6.0 (Trending to USC) Derrick Kelly = 0.5 (Trending to FSU) Alabama: Rashaan Evans = 5.0 (Trending to Auburn) Braden Smith = 4.0 (Trending to TCU) Travis Rudolph = 4.0 (Trending to FSU) Matt Elam = 1.0 (Trending to Kentucky) Edit: Updated as of 12/31/13
The lead for Jamal Adams has widened for LSU over the past couple of weeks. LSU = 43 % Texas = 25 % Florida = 25 % Ole Miss = 7 % The last 19 voters have either voted for LSU for the 1st time (5 voters) or changed their mind from another school (14 voters). In other words, the trending for Adams is 100 % LSU.
Now 44 % as another 247 Recruiting Insider cast his vote for the first time and of course it's LSU. 20 in a row and counting.
Everybody jumping ship on their predictions for Jamal Adams. Now 62 % for LSU. A runaway landslide vs the other 3 teams. These experts better get their change of vote in quick.
This is a good read for anyone who is interested. http://www.sbnation.com/college-foo...-star-day-for-lsu-football-recruiting-leonard
