An updated prediction list:
QB - Terrelle Pryor (10 %) 25% Just because I think he will come for a visit and the PJ connection.
RB - Derrick Hall (10 %) 20%, Aundre Dean (5 %), Jermaine Thomas (5 %), Darrell Scott (1 %) 20% Dean will probably make a visit and I think one of the RBs will be a NSD surprise.
WR - DeAngelo Benton (98 %), DeAndre Brown (98 %)
OL - Antoine McClain (50 %), Brandon Washington (25 %), Greg Shaw (20 %), Ben Jones (10 %) 0% He will not make his visit.
DL - Lavar Edwards (100 %), Brandon Thompson (25 %), Corey Liuget (20 %), Kheeston Randall (10 %), Glenn Harbin (10 %), Moses McCray (10 %)
LB - Mark Barron (15 %) 5% Have a feeling he wont show for visit, Marcus Robinson (15 %)
DB - TJ Bryant (40 %), Brandon Harris (25 %) 2%, Alonzo Lawrence (15 %) 0%
Visit Dates:
Jan 18 - LaVar Edwards, Ben Jones, Brandon Washington
Jan 25 - Terrelle Pryor (?) He will be in Oregon this week, Aundre Dean, Derrick Hall, Glenn Harbin, Mark Barron
Dec 2 - Antoine McClain, Alonzo Lawrence (?), Terrelle Pryor (?), DeAndre Brown (?)
Brown and Benton are at 98 percent only because of their qualifying issues. Looks like both will be part of the '08 class in the end. Great news.
I downgraded Pryor since we have not gotten the confirmation on if we will visit. If he doesn't visit, I put his chance at almost zero. If he visits, I improve our chances to be just about equal to OSU and Michigan (basically a 3 way tie for 1st).
It's highly doubtful we take any other D-lineman after we get the official from Edwards.
With McClain coming on board, I think this is a stellar O-line class with Spencer, McClain, Parsons and Hurst headlining the crew. And add Branch as a possible convert to OT, it could be that much better.
This would give us 28 recruits, which means probably 2 greyshirts.
If you count the points for Benton, that would put LSU at about 2600 points, which should be good for a top 5 finish. Rivals won't count it, so we'll end up about 7 or 8. Scout should end up in the top 5 regardless.
