17 signed, with Tae Provens 3* ATH signing tomorrow (edit: is signed), Jarrell Cherry 4* edge signing Friday (edit: is signed).

Terrace Marshall 5* WR will be picking a hat Friday, hopefully ours leaving 5 slots for the February signing date (edit: is signed).

Last 5 will likely come from (bold are my guesses):

CB Patrick Surtain, Jr. 5*
S Kelvin Joseph 4*
DB Mario Goodrich 4*
RB Harold Joiner 4*

WR Lawrence Keys 4*
WR Justin Watkins 4*
ATH Michael Williams 3*
QB James Foster 3*
TE Glenn Beal 3*
RB Pooka Williams 3*

Filled needs it's not sexy but they've adressed the O and D lines

people keep saying this, but other than the 3 JUCO transfers its pretty absurd. sure those 3 guys can come in and start right away (whom by the way, none are rated higher than .9074), but there are plenty of high 4 star OL/DL HS recruits and currently our highest rated HS signee is a .9067 (263rd Overall).

UGA has 9 signees rated higher, 4 of whom are OL/DL. This was just a down year, period. Saying otherwise is sunshine pumping.

We will finish well. Marshall and Surtain are two 5*s, the rest will likely be 4*s. Most of the 3*s we signed had really good offer lists, and due to injuries their star ratings were a little lower.

They are have a generational type class though and are benefitting from that state being loaded this year. 4 of their 6 5-star guys are from Georgia.

That would be a good and realistic finish for us.

Aranda is pretty good with LBs & defense.
Raymond is pretty good with DBs.
O is pretty good with DL.

Offense is another story. My guess is whoever is on that side of the ball for LSU will still destroy A&M's soft arse defense amirite Daniel? When will you learn kid?

If all you are going to look at are stars then don’t follow recruiting.

Actually this year is thin compared to next year in GA (2019).

Now each year, we are "filling needs". Blah blah. We want 5 and 4 star booms! It's what we're used to and should expect

Outside of the QB spot, which we have very good talent now in Brennan (need dpeth) the Oline and Dline were our weakest spot and little to no depth.

O focused on that spot and sealed the deal. Majority of our SEC games are won on the LOS.

We also have some possible booms coming later. So, all good.

You are aware it's a bannable offense to troll LSU fans, right? You've had one thread deleted already, I'd take a break if I were you.

We lead for five top 100 kids that are still to commit. Can State say the same? Yeah didn’t think so
