OP's likely list still way too idealistic, but I like the optimism. I don't think we sign a full class either, but here's my list:
In order from most likely to least likely:

Arden Key (pretty confident after his official visit that broke the scale)
Foster Moreau (already "committed," but he will only be a take if the numbers work out, which I think they will)
Leo Lewis (Wilson working his magic)
Lanard Fournette (although I have no idea what is going on with his recruitment because he pretty much hasn't been mentioned since Leonard committed)
Daylon Charlot (gut feeling)
Arthur McGinnis (think he gets a late offer due to his athleticism and instincts)
Toby Weathersby (I don't think we have been on him that long, but the fact that he's still so interested makes me think we have a decent shot; Grimes will hit a home run with him on the official visit)

This puts us at 24, but Brossette could also very easily flip to Texas, which would put us at 23.

Other possibilities:
Jamal Peters (I think he loves LSU, and if it were up to him, he'd come here; but lots of instate pressure and playing with friends at Miss St)
Cece Jefferson (I know O is doing work, and I do like that we are his last official visit, which could easily change things; but too many schools feeling pretty confident on this one)
Derek Dillon (before this week, I would have definitely had him in this class, but wanting to visit Florida before NSD, combined with others saying the flip is no longer happening, makes me think he sticks with Florida)
Prince Tega (I know he had a great visit, but I think he will want to stay closer to him at Auburn, where his guardians, who are Auburn fans, can see him play)
Zach Robertson (to be honest, I hadn't even heard this guy's name in connection to LSU before his OV this weekend; and even though he had a great weekend, I think he stays with Arizona St)
Justin Reid (the way this DB class is stacking up, I just don't think there will be room for him)
Dylan Jackson (think this ship has sailed since Chavis left)

McGinnis??

I've heard that he's started playing a little defense this year, hence the athlete tag; but I'm not positive on that. I think he plays RB too...just seems like a lot of people think he'll end up on defense.

I'm all ears. Wish I hadn't missed the hootie stuff

I asked why Quinn was still rated so low, this is the response I got:
Level of competition and stats are factored in, but are a very small part of it. Recruiting rankings are projections and we like where Quinn is projected currently.

Now, that's not to say we won't change our minds at the end, but we don't just automatically move guys up based on things like that. That's for the USA Today All-American team to take into account. Our rankings are much more long-term based and are a ranking of "prospects" rather than "players". There are hundreds of GREAT high school players across the country who will never play a down of college football. It's our job to cover recruiting, not high school football in general, so we have to project and differentiate nationally- with players from different states that play different levels of competition and different positions- somehow in doing so.

It's quite complicated.

We are high on Trey, though. Picked him for the U.S. Army All-American Bowl and are excited about seeing him down there.

I've already signed up for the free trial, but for some reason, I can only read the articles. When I go to the message board for tidbits, it still says I need to activate now to read them. Any suggestions?? Thanks

Yeah I'm not jumping on him or anything cuz everyone makes errors. I was just noticing his fielding technique, and I think some of those errors are correctable just by staying in front of the ball

Really?? Was that necessary? I assure you that I'm just as pissed off as you are that we lost, but I guess you just can't keep your composure

247 reports Harris as having an Ohio State offer...is it not committable?

I understand that, but all indications to the fact that he will line up as a WR. He was offered because of his skill at the WR position, and he has said "he plans to compete at the wide receiver position at LSU and work at all three of the (X, Y Z) spots in order to find a home." (per Rivals) Later in the article, he does say he'll learn all the positions he's capable of playing; but all signs point to him as a WR.

With Chark and Upchurch already committed, the LSU coaches must not expect to land Quinn, Dupre, Noil, Blacknall, or Williams, all of whom are heavily predicted to go to LSU. I'm not saying there's no way of LSU getting them all, but I'd be shocked if we take 7 WR's this year.
