That is why I'm not going to lose sleep over signing Hampton. We still have around 7 spots left in the class and we are probably less than 50-50 to get Cooper. I can't remember the last time we had a true quality player wanting to come that we didn't have room for. Seems we have trouble keeping 85 on scholarship anyway.

5 spots left I believe (Assuming Anderson). Perkins, Johnson, Cooper are top three of those 5. That leaves 2 spots if we get them. Hall/Handy could change things. A big transfer could. Need another OL (T) transfer and a S transfer. It's tighter than Dick's hatband. But I give this staff credit, I think they've done a great job finding players for the most part.

Raydarious Jones may get one of the transfer spots.
We really need to close on Perkins- I'm worried about that one.

Well, the OL from Wash. St. and a transfer S could too. This is why I've been saying we jumped the gun on a couple players. Those two spots would be big IF players are there.

The guy from Wazzu wouldn't count like Abraham if I'm not mistaken because he is a senior.

I don't think grad transfers count against the 25

Have Hall and Handy said they are leaving? Hall started and was damn good so that would be surprising.. May have missed them leaving, but I?d be shocked if Handy considered us at all.

Correct. I'm losing my mind. I swear these damn treatments make it worse every time.

Appreciate the optimism but I've seen enough over the years to know the probability of us getting all the names you are listing is fairly small. I was thinking we could sign up to 26, so even if we have Anderson that would leave 6. But even if we do just have 5, in the end, I will be surprised if we have an issue with the numbers. Cooper would have already signed if we were his first choice. Johnson will be a battle because of his academic options and we will know on Perkins supposedly this week. Given our track record, if we get 2 of those 3 then we will be doing pretty well. Still miffed that with our dire need at DB we were unable to sign Daniels or Walley.

I don't understand the outrage over signing Hampton so early. Do yall really think we will close with 7 guaranteed SEC quality players this late in the game? We've seen this game too many times
edit: essentially echo what maroonmania said

I believe we get Johnson and Perkins. Really, I think Cooper too, but it's Louisville. Maybe he gets an OOS offer, but he doesn't have them right now and LSU fired their defensive line coach and DC. I wouldn't wait around on him if other quality options open up. Phelps needs to get his **** right and recruit and put some pressure on Cooper to make decision.

Ole Miss losing Deke Adams should help with Cooper too

LSU has four 4-5 star DL signed right now. I'm guessing that's why Phelps is just taking his time with this.

Still wouldn't wait if another good player became available. He's not that good & he's gone full Louisville.
