The LSU coaching staff continues to make certain that the tigers stay among the elite.  Recruiting is the life blood of college football.  No doubt that coaching is very important once the players make it to campus but it sure is an advantage to start with a group of highly ranked linebackers, defensive backs, lineman, running backs, recievers, etc.

Not only is the tiger staff wrapping up the state of Louisiana but doing their homework in having spent much of the offseason visiting players from all across the country as well.  Here is a list of the current commitments:
