I was hoping we could keep one of our top 3 recruits. With 2 already gone, may not get my wish.

Griffin and Forbes are gone. Tate Blackman and Clay Casey have gone past the spot they wanted in order for them to sign(per Chase on Rivals). Chase says Casey and Blackman likely headed Oxford, unless whoever finally drafts them offers way above the going rate for that spot.

Also, Tate Blackman tweeted "Hotty Toddy is all I'm saying."

National ranking per Rivals:
Griffin 14
Forbes 24
Blackman 55
Casey 96

Blackman was the third. If we hang onto him and the rest, great job. I'm ready for tomorrow night. Vandy won today.

It is a waste of time when you pretty much know most of the blue chip players are going pro. It is awfully hard to turn down $1 million plus, or even above $500k, although I know a few have done it. I just hope we didn't turn our backs on other good players to try to get top notch blue chippers, knowing the chances we r high they go pro. But, just keep hosting Regionals and making it to the Supers and possibly Omaha, and I don't care.

The first time we don't recruit one of these guys and he shuns the draft and signs with LSU folks will be calling for Bianco's head. You're damned if you do damned if you don't, so I say go after the best players period.
