2011 Football Offers

bhelmLSU · 12-03-2009, 12:54 PM

Smith and Brutus both committed to FSU today.

Both are teammates of LBs Jeff Luc and Deon Rodgers.

bhelmLSU · 12-03-2009, 01:05 PM

LSU offered DE Nathan Hughes out of Texas today.

Also, one of the top LB prospects in Texas named LSU the favorite today. Trevon Randle has family in LA and LSU is the team he has followed as a kid. Assuming LSU offers, he should commit on the spot.

That's huge.

Breaux Bridge DT Quentin Thomas has been offered by LSU.

Oh and future 5* or high 4* CB Jabriel Washington said that LSU has made the biggest leap in the running for his commitment.

pjnchamps · 12-16-2009, 10:03 AM

There is alot of talent in this class ...I believe Erique F will probably play Safety with his size and I believe Lonnie Ballentine has a offer for Safety as well. Really would like us to sure up Alonzo and Jarvis early. I really hope we can pull either Marquise,Teddy B or Braxton Miller but I know it will be very tough. Wonder what position will Nick Shep play I know he plays Safety right now but wonder if he could play DB. Hope our RB class will be Jeremy Hill. Kenny H. and Isaiah. Definitely a class where we should improve in the trenches at Oline and Dline also hope Chavis pulls in some great LB talent.

Looks good though...

Not a big shock, but according to ESPN, Anthony Johnson decommited from UT for LSU.

bhelmLSU · 12-21-2009, 06:49 PM

Franklinton QB Terrance Magee has been offered as a RB. Great athlete who could play a number of positions but a great compliment to Hilliard and Hill.

Thats stranger, I heard he wants to play QB, do you think he will commit and be tried out at a number of positions.

Based on his comments it sounds like he understands he is not a QB at the college level. I am sure some schools will come in and tell him he has what it takes to spark interest in their program though.

I think he is the perfect fit because the staff wants to take 3 RBs in 2011 and top guys around the nation will see we have 2 very highly rated RBs already on board and we won't look that attractive playing time wise. Magee fits the mold where he could be used like Shep this year. Put a redshirt on him and see where he has the most success.

So Hillard wont redshirt, thats what I am assuming. Also, I assuming that Calhoun moves to slot WR, which leaves Ford, Ware, Gore, and Ridley all competing for carries in 2011 with 3 possible freshman RBs on the roster. I like the depth but by Wilson's philosophy we will have 1 featured back and all those guys trying to be that guy. How is that going to work out.

Not really sure at this point but we could see 2 of our 3 RBs redshirted next year. Blue should also be included.

I see Gore as a RB/slot WR too who mainly contributes on special teams his 1st year or 2. Blue could grow into a LB but not sure if that will happen or not. Ware can play anywhere because he is a great athlete with great size.

Great problem to have.

Yes definitely right about that, great problem!

Crenshaw vs De La Salle Cali State Championship is on FCS(257 Cox) DeAnthony Thomas just ran a 57 yrd TD.

Rivals.com Football Recruiting - Top 2011 recruits Army Bowl bound

Assuming that they have invited the top 19 players they can find, then it's pretty impressive that right now its looking like Louisiana has 4 of the top 19 players in the country. This just adds more validity to what everyone already knew. Next years class will be a huge one for the home state.

Tom Callender · 01-02-2010, 05:03 PM

Blehn, Just how many offers does a university normally offer per year?? I know they are not all acceptable & that seems to get LSU in trouble sometimes. How Many do you think?

I would say usually around 125+ per year... Just depends on the circumstances and this is about the norm for most BCS schools. LSU is not the only program who have issues because every program has complications, some reported and some not. Just the name of the game...

I put most of the blame on for the issues on HS coaches who do not explain the process well enough to the prospects and their parents.

bhelmLSU · 01-09-2010, 11:39 AM

Don't be surprised if LSU lands a commitment or commitments from the 2011 guys today.

If it happens I may be out at a Playoff party so will not be able to post on any details until I get back home.

pjnchamps · 01-09-2010, 04:18 PM

So...if Terrance Magee projects to be a RB does that end the RB recruitment for 2011. Really would've like to try and pull in Isaiah C. but I guess you go with the closest to a sure thing.With Isaiah maybe a SD annoucement type of player.

I don't like LSU chances with Isaiah with 2 big RB commits on board already and the staff really likes Magee. We should be done at RB for 2011 when he commits.

bhelmLSU · 01-09-2010, 10:28 PM

Well Miles setup a very nice weekend as we can see and it was last minute. All but Corey White of the committed prospects made it in with family to get to know each other and the staff. Basically a mini Junior Day with the top prospects of the state in attendance.

Jarvis Landry was blown away and if anyone gets a chance to read the article on scout it is a must read.

Guys like RB Terrance Magee, WR Bradley Sylve, LB Odell Beckman Jr., and DT Quentin Thomas are leaving very close to finishing up their recruitment.

Greg Robinson and Alonzo Lewis were traveling home from the Army AA combine and couldn't make it. Rasco was likely to far too come at the last minute.

Junior day

LSU will entertain a group of 14 in-state juniors today for Junior Day, a major step in the recruiting process for a class of Louisiana players being hailed as the state’s best since the 2001 crew that supplied the core of the Tigers’ 2003 national championship team.

Though NCAA rules prohibit coaches from speaking in detail about players being recruited, Miles didn’t keep his enthusiasm for the 2011 wave of talent under wraps.

“This junior class will certainly fit nicely with that group we’ll sign just in front of them,” he said. “We’re probably a class like that — backed up with the class we have on the board — away from being a dominant team for just years to come.

“In this class (2010) there will be guys who play very quickly. The upcoming class that will be juniors (2011), I can see three to five that will play immediately, guys that are legitimately going to play. It’s a great class.”

I know it's unpopular to toot Miles' horn on TF these days but it seems as if most people don't realize how big a deal this 2011 class is, and how freakish it is that we are locking them up before signing day of the 2010 class.

TX always seems to get their class in early, but it's still after NSD. I have never heard of LSU doing anything like this, and when you consider the depth and quality of this class....I'm just blown away.

Refreshing to see that kids of La(and their families) appear to have a far more favorable view of our program than many of the fans.
