    Rankings of LSU commits and potential commits:

    #3 Shep
    #7 Loston
    #10 Randle
    #27 Montgomery
    #35 Filo
    #39 Myles
    #40 Downs (Very Big Move Up)
    #57 Davenport
    #60 Jarvis Jones
    #66 Kelly
    #83 Janzen Jackson
    #104 Ford
    #106 Lowe

    These rankings differ greatly from Scout and Rivals but nice to see all the top guys we are in the running for.

    Where was Downs before?

    I seem to remember he was in the 70s.

    He wasn't that far behind Davenport. Looks like Davenport got a bump too.

    Not positive but I thought Downs was in the late 80's or early 90's.

    I was looking at it just the other day and for the life of me I can't remember.

    I remember seeing there was only 1 other DT between Davenport and Downs.

    So it's possible Davenport was in the 70s and Downs was in the 80s like you said.

    Look for similiar bumps from Scout and Rivals. Scout has him listed as a 3 star, sadly.

    Shepard lost his #1 overall ranking to Barkley based on the UA game.

    The Scout mods on the national board said they were very impressed with Downs last week and would be evaluated as a DT instead of OG and that Davenport is one of the top DT in the nation and most likely would stay a 5*.

    If you played well in the UA Game ESPN gave you a bump. They also have like 2 scouts so I wouldnt be too worried with those guys.

    Though, Downs will get a bump from all three, like you said.

    The game was key but their play was evaluated during the week's few practices as well.
