2012 LSU Recruiting Thread

[MLU]

Next season is here in terms of recruiting. LSU has already added two impressive recruits to the 2012 class in Johnson and Granier. A big portion of the class will be from outside the state this year as the talent level is not nearly as deep as this past season's. That is not to say that there are not definite jewels to be mined. It's just not going to have a lot of "stars" attached to the Louisiana kids next year.

It's been a while since Louisiana has produced some good LBers. 2012 is the year that changes. There will be as many as five real good ones with a couple being the LB/DE hybrid types that NFL defenses love now. LSU is in great shape for them all if they want. This class of LBers could be as good as the Trev Faulk, Bradie James, etc. group.

[St. PJ]

Toshiro Davis just gave his verbal.

[MLU]

I have him on the list as a DE, but I read that he will play OLB at LSU. He has offers from Bama, Arky, OU and A&M.

[MLU]

Here is a good read on TigerRag.com that speaks on some of the talent that LSU will be looking to sign in 2012...

[SW Saints Fan]

Need some LB's. Only 1 this past yr. Need a thumper who can run from sideline to sideline.
GEAUX TIGERS!

[St. PJ]

Thanks to Analyze That on TigerDroppings.com, I figured out who Nacho was.

[MLU]

LSU invited several Juniors for a visits weekend and received verbal commitments from a TE prospect and a LB prospect. I'll have more details later today.

[st dude]

Great start to junior day. Dillon Gordon and Ronnie Feist. Gordon is the top tight end in the state. Feist is a fast defensive end who probably projects as a linebacker.

[MLU]

Updated a couple capsules with articles from TigerRag.com

[weightlifter316]

John Thomas, Travin Dural, and Lamar Louis are LSU Tigers

MLU get on your job!

[BBSaint]

Dural and Louis are both Breaux Bridge boys. Been watching them for a while now. Louis had to transfer to Teurlings after his sophmore season and sat out last year. Dural has the best hands in the state, Louis has been playing since he was a freshman and is great at either RB or LB but prefers RB. Physical specimen but not in the sense that he's huge, just a tremendous athlete.

[MLU]

Yeah, I'm slacking. I'll update the thread and provide some background on the players soon.
