Rivals current rankings in parenthesis 22 recruits (2 sign and place) QB Shepard (#4), Garrett RB Ford, Pratt, Lipscomb (sign and place) WR Randle (#8), Bell, Blake (#50) OL Orelus, Downs, Walters DL Davenport (#18), McFarland (#2), Sentimore, Brockers (#91) LB Mingo, Minter, Telfort (#35), TJones (sign and place) DB Janzen, Calhoun, Loston (#30) 5 five star recruits (Shepard, Randle, Davenport, McFarland, Loston). Telfort very close to a 6th. 8 currently in rivals top 100. I suspect 10-12 will end up in the top 100. 19-20 should be in the top 250. breakdown by state: LA - 9 TX - 8 FL - 2 GA - 2 MS -1 Give me your list of 20.
Check out page 2 on how our newest recruiter Russell Shepard is busy at work for LSU. http://media.www.lsureveille.com/me...ruiting.Start.For.Class.Of.2009-3264417.shtml
love your list. what about faulk and bell? sheppard sounds solid to me hope he can convince mcfarland, loston, and blake.
Kenny Bell is there. Faulk just a casualty of the numbers game. I think we get him if we don't get Walters. But I predict a Texas avalanche coming after the snag of Shepard.
yea i saw bell after i looked over your list again. i had heard earlier we would be in the teens for scholarships. are you hearing anything different? do you think we sign 20+?
Well I don't think we sign more than 20 that we think will qualify academically, that's why I think we sign need positions like RB and LB with an extra player who will be signed and placed. We already had 2 players leave the team just a couple of weeks ago. So things like this happen. Another player or 2 will transfer due to not being high enough on the depth chart half way thru summer, another player or 2 will probably leave the team for various other reasons. I think we are at 16 already. Welcome to the board, btw.
if everyone makes the grade for the 2008 class and counting who's on scholarship already that comes to a total of 89 as of now. four need not qualify or 4 must leave the team. by the way who are your other 9 committments? you did say we had 16.
i see now, i thought you had some inside scoop, i was getting all excited.lol last year we had 17 seniors and we sign 26. using that logic we have 13 seniors so about 22 is right. if we get your 20 or 22 on you list we should be rank NO.1 in recruiing. i know usc is off to a great start but your 20 is got to be comparitable to theirs.
If this is our list, then I would say the only 2 teams with a legit shot at #1 would be USC and LSU. LSU would end up with a 4.14 star rating (I project 2 players from my list as 3 star).
