The War Room - LSU football signing day eve
Pre signing day even war room*** I spoke with a Texas source today and schools are doing their best to try and flip wide receiver commit JoJo Earle. Texas A&M and Alabama are the two main threats to LSU. He won't sign with LSU tomorrow so we will see how this plays out. *** Five-star defensive lineman Maason Smith will sign at 3:30pm CST tomorrow and while some have tried to add some drama to his signing, it will be LSU. Georgia is a distant second.*** The guy that most people are nervous about is offensive tackle Tristan Leigh. I believe the negative recruiting done by other schools has chipped away at LSU's lead. After talking with people today I don't feel that LSU's confidence level is where it was weeks ago. The Florida visit for Leigh was a good one or as good as it can be for an unofficial visit without meeting with coaches. Leigh's girlfriend is supposed to be attending UCF, so the distance between those two schools could be a part of his thought process.Leigh will sign with the school of his choice tomorrow but he won't announce his decision until January 2nd on NBC. I am not saying Leigh is a lost cause but I have him as a possible rather than a probable now.*** 5-star defensive end Korey Foreman will also sign tomorrow but announced on January 2. I think it's either USC or Clemson with Arizona State being a wildcard. *** Penscacola-Catholic cornerback Damarius McGhee will sign with LSU tomorrow. I've had him predicted to the Tigers for several weeks. *** Four-star wide receiver Brian Thomas of Walker High School will not sign tomorrow as he will sign in February. It's going to be interesting to see how the wide receiver position finishes out after tomorrow and through January. There's a chance that Southside wide receiver Malik Nabers sends LSU his national letter of intent tomorrow. LSU aint going to take six wide receivers in this class if Earle sticks.*** There is a chance that LSU ends up with three running back signees tomorrow. Long time commit Corey Kiner is going to sign and LSU has made things very interesting with Logan Diggs of Rummel and Armoni Goodwin the former Auburn commit. Notre Dame recruiting analyst tells me tonight that Irish coaches seem to feel more confident in holding onto Diggs but we'll see. I projected Goodwin to LSU several weeks ago.*** Long time California linebacker commit Raesjon Davis is not signing tomorrow but Navonteque Strong will be after he decommitted from Mississippi State earlier today. He's another one I put in a LSU prediction for.*** Long time safety commit Khari Gee might sign tomorrow but i think he could wait it out until February. There's been some thought process with him as LSU has discussed him playing linebacker. *** The LSU offensive line situation is a scary one. I get that LSU can possibly get Ed Ingram, Liam Shanahan, Austin Deculus and others to return but you need three or four young capable linemen in this class. If Dellinger is the only signee tomorrow and Leigh's paperwork lands somewhere else, then they are going to have to give it everything they've got in January with what's still able to be had on the high school front. Then there's JUCO prospects and graduation transfers.*** Some of the talk in the last few weeks has been about wide receiver commit Jack Bech putting on weight to be a H-back/tight end due to Arik Gilbert's status being up in the air. I do think Bech can do some things unique inside but I do not think he can be effective with an additional 15-25 pounds on his frame. I know he's only a senior in high school, but i think muscle wise he doesn't need to get any bigger. I dont see where it can be put on his frame without it hurting his game. We'll see. *** Tonight we learn that long time defensive end commit Keanu Koht is wavering on his commitment to LSU with folks in Tuscaloosa feeling that if he signs tomorrow it will be with the Crimson Tide. Sal Sunseri has gotten Koht all twisted up. I'm told LSU is battling hard late tonight. I'm going to add more to this War Room as I get it. I'm sure I'm going to read it and realize i missed some things. Feel free to ask me questions below.
