PrintWARNING: For the next 24 hours, you may see printed words that turn out to be completely false. This is Signing Day. It happens. Hang tight and we'll all get through this together.
"A Chicken in every Pot and 5-star recruits in every Class!"
Ready to watch high school seniors embarrass themselves on national tv while helping that small mom-and-pop sporting goods store in their hometown make the hat sales quota for the month? It's signing day and ATVS is ready to party.
But not literally. We're all working just like most of you. We'll do our very best to keep the tally board up to date and keep an eye out for late breaking switches and shenanigans.
ESPNU and the CBS Sports Net are both doing day long coverage, ESPNU will also be available online through the ESPN3.com service, and 104.5fm in Baton Rouge with be broadcasting for most of the day live from the Bayou Bash.
Unlike year's past, we don't have anyone on the riverboat to take in the scene, but if you're going to the Bayou Bash, you can send your photos to us on twitter @valleyshook.
We'll do our best to keep this page updated as official NLIs come in and we'll have the annual jumbo-sized highlight videos post later this evening.
Nationally, there are a few stories to keep in mind. This is the first year the multi-year scholarships can be offered thanks to a change in NCAA rules and most of the B1G will be offering them. Tomorrow will also see the first ever electronic signature of a NLI by a D-2 Women's soccer player as the NCAA takes it's first steps towards ridding the world of the fax machine.

Figured I'd kick off the rumor mill....
Some tweeting between Kwon & Trae implied they were committing to LSU. According to Elston’s tweet, he committed to the coaches of his future school tonight. At the time, he left the school vague, but later said something to the extent of “we going to the bayou!”
I'm quite charismatic.
From Gino Joubert
Just got the call and have been confirmed that LSU will be adding at least two more names on the list of 2012 recruits. They are team mates….
Also I think it's final on Patterson

Bummer, but at least he's off the schedule
He supposedly wants to be one-and-done.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
Wanted him too
And don’t get why he’d choose Tennessee other than having Bray throwing to him. But they already have two super WRs in place.
Eye right blahgs.
Yeah
I figured if he really wanted to be one and done, UGA or LSU would have been better places for him b/c of the lack of stars at WR. UGA even moreso than LSU b/c at least Murray is a proven good QB (not saying that Mett isn’t good, just that he isn’t proven).
SUCKS
Not getting him, I think he coulda did great things here. With Hunter, and those other big WRs Tenn got, I’m not quite sure of his decision.
The Sky is not falling
Hunter has to come back from a torn ACL
Maybe C Pat thinks he can beat him.

Very very interesting prospect
Almost no actual game film, but coaches all over the place offered him based just on watching him in practice.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),

I don't even think Cooper worked him out before offering
Went and saw his HS practice and offered.

Yeah, it's gonna be interesting to see how he develops

We'll see
It’s not like they cleaning up in recruiting is a new thing here.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
I don't understand
why so many offensive players want to go there. I mean dont get me wrong, it is the top program right now; but when you think of Saban and Bama, you think Defense.
I know Ingram, Julio, and Richardson were studs, but those are also very elite talents that dont come around too often. I’ve just always thought of Bama as a Defensive Team, never really known for flashy Offenses. And now they got like four 5 Star Offensive athletes this class. I guess I’m bitter, but doesn’t make a lot of sense to me
by WhoDatSaintsLSU on Feb 1, 2012 9:39 AM CST up reply actions
They already have big-timers on offense not doing much
DeAndrew White immediately comes to mind.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
That's what I figured
Home school, and they’ll throw it around enough to use him.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
Really?
Because people are calling him the best prospect since the Julio/Green class.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
I'm just glad he's going to Mizzou
where he’s pretty unlikely to derail a season for us

Danielle Hunter confirmed
Possibly my favorite prospect in this class.

Trying to get confirmation that he was an early school enrollee
Which would mean he’s about a 16-17 year old senior instead of a 17-18 year old senior.
Which means he’s still growing into that 6-5, 240 pound frame….mwahahahahaha
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
I like him a lot
I got some fam from Katy, texas and they have been raving about this kid since he was in middle school. Didn’t think LSU had a shot at him, but was very surprised he received so little recognition nationwide. Good for us though… he’s a stud
by WhoDatSaintsLSU on Feb 1, 2012 9:42 AM CST up reply actions
Yeah, and there was also talk that, like I said
He’s younger than his class, which could mean he’s still growing…which…means in 2 years we could have a 6-5 260-pound monster.
There are a couple of guys like that in this class….guys that won’t be instant impact, but have some big time potential. Travin Dural’s another guy like that.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
I've heard
he was the standout DB at most of the recent camps. I’ve heard his name mentioned a lot recently, could be another underrated steal for Cooper
by WhoDatSaintsLSU on Feb 1, 2012 9:43 AM CST up reply actions
Biggest thing I've heard about him
Is that coaches see him as a big-time leader.
Writer (and a handsome one at that),
And the Valley Shook
Likewise, that's one thing you hear consistently about Jeremy Liggins too

I can tell you one thing
it is most assuredly NOT worth your time to check out Bama’s fax cam girl at Friends of the Program. It is repulsive and indicative of so many negative things about that program.
that link is in no way associated with the program
its just some guy who put up a board and got some girl to post the names on it.

Dear Bama fans...
… you have the best recruiting class in living memory. Lighten up. Especially here on the LSU board where it is entirely possible we might make fun of you in a moment of jocularity. I know you often forget, but many humans interact with one another by using humor.

that gave any hint of being sarcasm. there are plenty of reasons to be critical of alabama, i’d just prefer keeping them to reasons that are valid.

He had an odd recruitment
Per the pay site people, he was telling everybody he wanted to be a WR early and that turned a lot of people off. Had a really good senior year and warmed back up to playing DB and that brought some people back, including LSU.
But he chose Ole Miss, and if you’re an out-of-state kid with better options and you choose Ole Miss, that’s probably the best place for you.

Ole Miss has nobody to blame but themselves, in my opinion
They fired David Cutcliffe without a plan for what they wanted going forward, and they’ve been paying for it ever since.

Let's see now, T. Davis is s..t for going to UT, but Collins would be just getting his head right if he flips to LSU.
Got it!
"Statistics are for losers, I like winning games!" Will Muschamp
I dont think anyone said that
Majority here at this site are okay with LC going to Bama… not saying we want him there, but if that’s really where he wants to be, then so be it. Collins has never led anyone on (for the most part) throughout this recruiting battle; and if it wasn’t for his mom, this would have been a pretty quiet recruit. He picked Bama, and stuck with it… good for him.
Now, Davis committed to us over a year ago and remained a solid commit until late. He started to waiver a little bit recently, but then last night said he was 90% certain he would pick LSU… not 100%, but nothing to make you think he would flip on NSD after being committed for a year. Then today, his head coach came out twice and said Davis was definitely picking LSU today, not him directly, but still some false reassurance. Then the power goes out , and then they pull the old switcheroo. And then he proceeds to dis LSU by saying people aren’t happy here… why even say that? You just spurned your home-state’s school at the last second, and then you have to say no one is happy at LSU? For what? To get other recruits to 2nd guess themselves? Just be quiet and move on… and I would hope that morale would be a little down after losing in the NCG. I don’t want them to be satisfied with the way the season ended, use this feeling as motivation towards next season and FINISH!
Like we have stated multiple times on this site, if you are upfront and honest from the beginning, then we will not bash you if you leave LSU. Many LA prospects recently have taken the high road and not led anyone one, and they are respected in my book. But the ones who drag it out and make a spectacle out of it, they should expect some backlash. LC was a very odd case cuz his mom was so pro-LSU, but LC did mislead us himself.

We've gotten flips before
Though I will say the record on solid verbals flipping on Signing Day seems to be pretty poor. The one guy we got that way, Perrilloux, was a disappointment. Guys who pull off that kind of dishonesty are usually revealing a problem with character (think of the last second LSU flips — most bombed). Which is different than a strong lean flipping — that’s just a kid changing his mind before he made a commitment.

Excessively long response to random comment
Is Stud back next year? What is the deal? If I’m not mistaken (which is possible), he assumed the OC role last year without redoing his contract at the last minute. It would seem odd that he would maintain that position indefinitely without getting a new deal, especially since there were rumors he was being looked at for other OC positions.
At the risk of being labeled reactionary by delusional optimists, I would have liked to see him go. I have no idea if any of the stuff about a pre game fight is true, but it certainly seems to me that when you have that many cooks in the kitchen there is certainly a good possibility that disagreements would arise. You’ve got three guys who have been OCs in the past (Krags, Stud, and Miles) and a rising WR coach who seemingly had a big role in the offense (primary offensive assistant on the sidelines). That’s too many people without a well defined pecking order. Miles has been accused of micro managing before, and Studrawa doesn’t seem to be enough of a powerful voice to stop that. I would like to see an established guy brought in who can run the offense himself (Krags might have been that if he didn’t get sick). Studrawa did a good job with a tough situation and it would be nice to see him rewarded, but 83 yards passing in the last 8 quarters is not good enough.
A boy has never wept...nor dashed a thousand kim
Totally agree
I was just saying the other day that Miles is supposedly an OFF coach, but he has himself, Stud, Krags, and Billy G running the OFF to some dgree… that is way too many people for the offense. Look at our Def, the Chief does it all and as long as he is around we will produce one of the top DEF every year. You simply cannot have that many heads involved in the OFF. I am not sure what everyone’s duties were, but we need to simplify the way we call plays. I really did like our OFF when Lee was at the helm, but after the 1st Bama game, the OFF kind of regressed (with both Lee and JJ). Not sure if we really more like the beginning of the season, or more like the end…

Citizens this is huge give the external pressure on Davis to stay at home. LSU will fail to sign the top 3 players in Louisiana since before the Saban Era. LSU is in big trouble if they can’t build a fence around their state
So what’s going on at LSU? You’d think a team that was thisclose to a MNC would have good morale?

LSU players are mad because they lost a national championship
And Texas players seem perfectly happy following what? 7-5?

A mental hangover?
Could it just be some hangover from the kind of season LSU had? If you’re ever gone through a really brutal event, when you make it to the other side you have to sit down, take stock of what happened and slowly pick yourself up to keep moving forward.
These guys went through the ringer and came out with an amazing season.
Oh I'm sure there are some players that just want to get past Jan. 9
but this notion that there’s this deep dissension that’s been there all year but is only coming out now is so completely laughable to me.
It’s people projecting their own emotions to the situation.

Had to add that I was thinking of the Sylvester Stallone movie when I was writing that.
is there any reason to believe
this recruit has more information about the situation within the program than anyone else who reads the newspapers/watches espn? certainly he’s met players and coaches but you can be sure that’s been carefully controlled if for no other reason than compliance’s sake.
it seems completely reasonable that his opinion is just another aspect of this echo chamber we’ve been subjected to since the final whistle blew on jan. 9. i have a hard time believing it’s anywhere near a realistic assessment of what is going on inside the building.

I'm not sure any of us understand it either
Seems like a perpetual black cloud hovering over the program right now.
Eye right blahgs.
What's funny is
If you ask an average Texas fan, they’d tell you that LSU is one of the programs we hope to emulate. None of us is happy with the past couple years but the Tigers seemingly never have a bad season.
PS the reason we’re all excited about Torshiro is that 1) it was completely unexpected, 2) It’s almost unheard-of for a top-notch recruit to go from Louisiana to Texas, it’s almost always the other way, and 3) He’s got a badass name.

I don’t follow. The ‘fans’ reached for a reason the team didn’t show up, and made up the usual BS when the basic answer that our offense was not up to their D that night was all that came back. No player has said any of it was true. Those that have come out said the claim is BS, including Lee and Hebert.
Where is the black cloud? We are pre-season No. 1 to 5. Clearly there is some light.

There is lots of light
but it’s hard not to think there is something unusual going on. We just got clubbed over the head on in-state recruiting after one of the five best seasons in LSU history.

Other thing to remember
Recruiting is about RELATIONSHIPS. One thing, one game, does not change a player’s mind. In Davis’ case, he’s probably been flipped for some time, and just didn’t want to tell anybody.

That is nonsense.
Especially from a school that has more resources than any other school in a state that has more high quality athletes than just about any other state and with all of these riches they only have one BCS title. Screw them. So they got a drama queen from our state. So, Bama picked up a couple of players as well. We still keep the majority of our good players so I would say we have a pretty damn good fence around our state when it comes to keeping talent. What is their excuse?

Look, you and I both know that with the MNC drubbing LSU took
that you would be the laughing stock of the world and subsequent disharmony in the locker room would come from it. We at Texas know the feeling of being on top then getting your face smashed in and then to desperately try to claw your way back to the top of the mountain. We’re not there yet but we’re on the right track. LSU is now on that downhill slide but just know that we at Texas will be there for you when you need a hug until you work your way back to greatness.

Drubbing
How did the national title game look on TV? Texas on the right track? Are you kidding? LSU has trended from 9 wins to 11 to 13 in the past three years. Texas has gone from the MNC to 7 wins and staring up at Baylor in the standings.
I’ll take crap from Bama fans because they earned it, but Texas fans — hell, every team’s fans save Bama’s — would’ve killed to have had LSU’s “disappointment”.
Enjoy losing to Oklahoma again. Like you do every year.

OK, laughing stock for a couple of days only. You guys are still pretty badass.
And I hope you pulverize Bama next time. Anyway, almost everything I’m seeing from Tiger fans on TD are doom and gloom about this class and the future. That’s where I got the idea for my response.

I wouldn't look at TD for the viewpoints of the majority of Tiger Fans
TD has ALWAYS been extremely pessimistic. We may not have gotten the perfect class we wanted, but we got a lot of very good young men who want to be here.
And I’m a homer, but I honestly feel we have a lot of skilled players in this class who were extremely underrated (Hawkins, Edinburgh, Dural, Hunter, Thomas, Raymond, Debo, etc)
by WhoDatSaintsLSU on Feb 1, 2012 1:21 PM CST up reply actions
i think it's also a cultural thing
lsu fans tend to look inward when facing this type of adversity. alabama fans are more likely to close ranks and blame the world.
but my personal impression is there is a real difference in the two games. for all the attention on colt mccoy’s injury, the fact was texas’ defense got torched by alabama in that game. in retrospect the problems that were revealed on the field in pasadena had been there awhile and the piper came to be paid the next off season.
as bad as lsu’s offense looked on jan. 9 there was nothing inferior about the performance of the defense. the trent richardson touchdown came after a brutal three-and-a-half quarters both physically and mentally. and there really isn’t anything in the offensive performance you can look back over the season and identify as a lingering issue waiting to bloom into the longhorns-style horrorshow.
SB Nation's The Historical: Because all those games way back when matter.
All of which is to say
that many Horns fans were surprised to hear that there could be anything close to a divided LSU locker room after what would, by anyone’s definition, be a spectacularly successful season. And that a recruit would get that sense, and then talk about it.
And yes, Alabama exposed the Texas defense but anyone who’d been paying attention knew, the way to beat UT was to run at them, relentlessly. Ohio State did it in a BCS bowl the year before. When the wheels really fell off was the following year, once Colt McCoy was off campus, when we realized how much he and a few other talented players had done to mask a pretty deep rot in the program.
I, for one, don’t think y’all are in nearly the same place. Not even close.

The thing about what recruits say
is that its like what any other 17-18 year old kids say. How much stock do you wanna put into it? For example, I recall a few years ago Texas, OU, and LSU were all after Jamarcus McFarland, and were in his final 3. After he committed to OU he later stated Mack Brown asked him whose house he liked better, Stoops’, Miles’, or his. Believe Mack really asked a kid that? Me either.
I hate to put any consideration into it at all BUT
anybody else think it’s weird that LSU pulls in it’s weakest class in a while the season after Willie Lyles gets black-listed from college athletics? I mean this was arguably one of the best LSU football seasons ever, shouldn’t we be bringing in top-notch recruits from all over the country? (you know like we did every year since like 2005?)
all I ask is for the chance to prove that money can't buy happiness
3 fewer commits
and not a single five-star player among them, I don’t REALLY think Lyles is making a big difference here, just saying that it’s a pretty strange coincidence

by Tike the Miger on Feb 1, 2012 1:03 PM CST up reply actions
Not really
LSU won a NC in 2007 and the subsequent 2008 signing class was one of the weaker of Miles’ tenure. It has everything to do with the in-state talent of Louisiana, which is not as strong this year as in some other years. We also lost 2-3 of the state’s best guys to other programs. Those things make this class appear down (on paper)…..not Lyles.
Speaking of “on paper”…..let’s not forget Lafell was a 3 star, Hester was a 2 star, and dozens of other examples. Alabama has routinely bested us in recruiting rankings. How’s that worked out for them and us in the long run? The sky is not falling.
Not to mention
Tyson Jackson, TM7, Ridley, and Claiborne all very low rated too. LSU staff is incredible in evaluationg pure talent, and putting the players in the positions that fit their talents.
