    With Harvin leaving, I would say it's in between the two categories.

    Are you getting ready to put Benton in the lean/slight lean category? God I hope this means nothing.

    Benton would be an LSU student now if it weren't for the clearing house being famously sluggish..

    Relax a little bit :miles:

    Just hang tight. It will work itself out.

    Well I crunched all the numbers, and if LSU lands Randle, there is no team that has a conceivable chance at finishing ahead of LSU on rivals.com. This is based on where recruits are projected to go and even making best case scenarios for each team.

    On ESPN, it would mean LSU and USC battling it out to the end, with the strong possibility of Florida getting in the mix for the top spot, if they get all the big recruits on their board (Jenkins, JJones, Reid AND Telfort). USC is after Telfort as well, and if they nab Kennard and Telfort, they could end up just ahead of LSU when all is said and done.

    On Scout, it looks like a 2 way battle between Ohio State and LSU. LSU will have to land Montgomery or Myles in order to overtake Ohio State, to go along with Randle and Mingo.

    Where does Utah stand?:lol::lol::lol: They are the next powerhouse apparently, but do not seemingly need the highest recruiting rankings to prove it.

    Rebuilding. They lost a ton of seniors. But you're right - stars don't mean crap without coaching.
