Good start for the day

When you recruit out-of-state players, there is always the chance of somebody pulling a surprise - check out Perrish Cox from last year when he ended up at Oklahoma State on signing day after having been committed to LSU all year.

So far today, no surprises.

There had been some worries about Ernest McCoy of Belle Glade, Fla., possibly ending up at West Virginia.

Nothing to worry about.

Defensive end Sidell Corley of Mobile more than makes up for the loss of Luther Davis to Alabama.

If LSU can hold Terrance Toliver, that will make up for Ahmad Paige, who LSU showed little interest in, going to Tennessee.

The ones you could count on - T-Bob Hebert, Stevan Ridley and Ron Brooks - are already in the fold.
