Yeah, #1 Safety and #1 dual QB this year. #1 CB last year. #1 Safety and #1 WR the year before. All from out of state, with the exception of Jones. Surely this is the inevitable slide I hear so much about...
Unless he was hurt, based on his performance in the game I wouldn't be surprised. He had better reviews in practice, so maybe that will help him hold on to that 5th star. Downs actually looked much better than Davenport in the other game.
Not sure if rivals.com will drop him at this point due to injury. If it was strictly performance, I would say yes. He will fall only because other players that were high 4 star players have been elevated in the 5 star range (e.g., Michael Ford). Another 4 or 5 of those and Davenport will fall just outside of being a 5 star DT. We all know how dominating he can be when healthy. That's all that counts.
I honestly don't see any. Ferrell, the LB & that OL, that both decommitted were widely expect to do so & it was not against our coaches' wishes. Janzen Jackson is the only possibility I see, and I absolutely expect him to sign with LSU.
Update: Locks/Near Locks Randle Mingo Benton Leans/Slight Leans Montgomery Logan (greyshirt) TJones (greyshirt) Toss Ups Myles Sua'Filo Kelley Singleton Johns (greyshirt) Some Work To Do Debose Stinson JJones Outside Looking in Richardson Telfort Holloman Campbell Stewart Fluker McCallister Hall Kirkpatrick Charles Sentimore Lacy Finishing Class: Randle Benton Mingo Montgomery Myles or Kelly Logan (greyshirt) TJones (greyshirt) Notes: (1) If we lose Myles, then Johns would probably be offered a greyshirt. (2) If we don't get Kelly as well then Logan is upgraded to a full scholarship. (3) That's 26 full commitments and 2 greyshirts, Benton would count back to 2008, which puts LSU back at the 25 limit for 2009.
Seems reasonable, but this staff has constantly found a way to surprise us with punters and fullbacks and guys off the radar. However, I think this time we finally have them figured out. Until they surprise us again.
Well Singleton will be a surprise to many if he gets an offer. Many feel we don't need 2 FBs in a class that is this close to being finished and tight on numbers. I say we get him ONLY if we fail on a few others (Myles/Montgomery/another WR). That will probably be the condition under which he is offered.
With Johns officially being a part of this class as a greyshirt, I still have: 22. Benton 23. Mingo 24. Randle 25. Montgomery 26. Myles/Kelly (someone already committed would have to greyshirt, Claiborne or Barrow most likely) 27. Johns (greyshirt) 28. Logan/TJones (greyshirt) I don't how many LSU will be willing to greyshirt and count towards 2010. Three sounds like a bit much. Jan. 23rd will be an interesting weekend with Logan, Montgomery, Kelly and Randle all on officials to LSU. Look for LSU to press Montgomery to commit on the spot. TJones visits on the 16th. Duplessis counts back to 2008.
