LSU is trying to hold off Alabama in the recruiting fight for Patrick Surtain Jr., the nation's top-rated high school cornerback.

Here's how Orgeron stands with the final names on his Class of 2018 wish list:

Patrick Surtain Jr., CB, 6-2, 185, Fort Lauderdale (American Heritage) Fla.

LSU defensive backs coach Corey Raymond was joined by defensive coordinator Dave Aranda for an in-home Wednesday visit with the Surtains. The Tigers look to counter Alabama, which hosted Surtain Jr. for an official visit last weekend.

LSU has been the leader throughout his recruitment. It looked like Alabama closed the gap a bit during his Tuscaloosa visit, but LSU and family sources are showing unwavering confidence that he will play his collegiate football in Baton Rouge.

The only certainty in recruiting is that there are no certainties. With that said, it appears LSU is poised to sign the nation's top-ranked cornerback.

Kelvin Joseph, S, 6-2, 210, Scotlandville

Things are still looking good for LSU with our top rated prospect in the state, although there is some talk that he may still take an official visit to Alabama prior to the Feb. 7 signing period. LSU is urging him to honor his recent commitment and not put the Tigers in a compromising position.

As of now, I do not see Joseph taking the official to Tuscaloosa, but there is certainly a reasonable chance it could end up transpiring. If he doesn't go, LSU will sign him on signing day. However, if he does make a trip, Alabama coach Nick Saban could pull some last-minute magic and continue his streak of swiping Louisiana's best from under the feet of the Crimson Tide's SEC Western Division rival.

If LSU misses on either Chase or Joseph, John Curtis tight end Glenn Beal appears to be the next man up.

This is a tricky situation, though, as Beal is being recruited by some heavy hitters. He is scheduled to visit Alabama this weekend, followed by his official trip Feb. 2 to Florida and new coach Dan Mullen.

If we have a hard line of 8 spots? No.

If we get creative and somehow can take 9 or 10? Yeah.

No body know what the hell they are doing. Usually when someone is that tight lipped (when they could end all the speculation) they are looking for the right time to exit stage left

Cue the Kermit and Jergens lotion gif.

No, Enos was just recently hired by Michigan as WR coach. Enos is a good OC & QB coach, but he was hamstrung by Bert at Arky and their OL was pretty bad.

kool. thanks guys

Sorry too late

You're joking right? I'm not trying to be an ahole. But my sarcasm meter might be broken.
