    Projected remaining class in bold

    QB - Done
    RB(1) - Michael (40%), Richardson (30%), Lacy (10%), Hardy (2%), Pryor (1%)
    WR(3) - Bell (100%), Randle (95%), Debose(40%), Appleton (35%), Wooten (25%), McNeal (15%), Brown (15%), Kelly (10%), Evans (5%)
    TE(0/1) - Wilson (40%), Charles (5%)
    OL(1) - Su’a-Filo (60%), Nixon (15%), Martinez (5%)

    DL(1/2) - McFarland (60%), Sentimore (50%), Dye (20%), Montgomery (15%), Coleman (10%), Drummond (5%)
    LB(1/2) - Mingo (95%), Williams (50%), Bostic (40%), Jones (25%), Barrow (10%), Telfort (5%)
    S(1) - Loston (95%), Brent (25%), Armstrong (20%), Myles (15%)
    DB(0/1) - Lynn (30%), Smith (20%), Winston (15%), Carter (5%)

    I project Orelus to decommit. That gives LSU 25 recruits with five 5 star players using rivals rating system. Debose may end up being a 5 star as well (currently ranked #31 on rivals, usually 24-30 players are rated 5 star).

    In order of importance for LSU (those listed with at least 30% chance):

    1) Randle
    2) McFarland
    3) Loston
    4) Richardson
    5) Lynn
    6) Debose
    7) Su-a-Filo
    8) Bell
    9) Mingo
    10) Jones
    11) Bostic
    12) Sentimore
    13) Michael
    14) Williams
    15) Appleton

    Sentimore is the most questionable on my list as a take (making grades/other issues). If we can land Lynn/Smith/Winston at the DB spot, then I think Sentimore might be left out. Still up in the air about the TE position. We may take a TE if we can't get the 3rd WR or 3rd RB that we want.

    Cant argue with much there, great list.

    Think we could end up with Michael but need to see some more developments before I decide.

    I think we have a better shot at Appleton rather than Debose.

    I think Filo is still a USC lean and have a better shot at TE wilson.

    Wouldn't be surprised to see someone off the radar land in this class at the OL position. Same goes for a CB and LB.

    Sentimore is a take reguardless of what McFarland does. Why are you so confident about DeBose? I think he's a longshot.

    My projected remaining commits:
    WR- Bell, Randle, Appleton
    RB- done ( Michael would be great but I don't think he's a must take to the staff with Ford and Pratt in the fold already. Richardson is a take)
    OT- Sua' Filo (and counts towards the 2011 class when he takes his mission)
    DL- Sentimore
    LB- Mingo, Williams
    S- Loston

    ETA- Some OT not currently on the radar will commit as well to give LSU numbers.

    OL(1) - Su’a-Filo (60%), Nixon (15%), Martinez (5%)

    DL(1/2) - McFarland (60%), Sentimore (50%), Dye (20%), Montgomery (15%), Coleman (10%), Drummond (5%)
    LB(1/2) - Mingo (95%), Williams (50%), Bostic (40%), Jones (25%), Barrow (10%), Telfort (5%)
    S(1) - Loston (95%), Brent (25%), Armstrong (20%), Myles (15%)
    DB(0/1) - Lynn (30%), Smith (20%), Winston (15%), Carter (5%)

    What is this, Pardon the Interruption or something? :lol: I hope we get Loston and with the recent rumors our chances seem improved. However, I think 95% for any out of state guy seems high to me.

    Michael apparently didn't make himself a must-take at the camp. I don't see him being in this class.

    I think Wilson's a take & expect him to be in this class.

    Keep in mind the coaches kept Downs at DT for camp, and we could be looking for a weakside DE in this class. If Sentimore can play it, then he's a take (assuming he gets his grades in order). If not, I don't see him in the class.

    I don't think Williams is a take at this point, and apparently Bostic is a future MLB because he lacks sideline to sideline speed. We may be done at LB once Mingo commits.

    According to a recent article, we want 2 DBs in this class. My guess is Loston & Myles or Lynn.

    FYI, Pratt thinks LSU will land Loston and Debose.

    Also I still have not ruled out CB Braden Smith because Lynn is going to be a tougher pull IMO.

    I do not see Darren Myles in this class.

    Appleton didn't make camp. I doubt he gets an offer.

    I didn't either until I read the article where Myles' dad said Miles took them in his office & asked if he'd like to commit... That surprised me with Loston on the board, so the only thing I could figure is that they'd both be takes.

    Michael didn't make it to camp....not sure what you mean.

    He killed it at a recent Florida camp.
