It's National Signing Day LA Tech and LSU Fans!! (With Updates)

Yahoo!!!

Because of the quality of the overall Louisiana class is down somewhat this year excitement has not been as high. Plus I think the Saints are taking all the oxygen out of the room. If the Saints had not been in the playoffs and now to the going to the Superbowl I expect everyone would be talking about signing day a lot more.

Still it is always an exciting day and there are surprises. I will keep updating the Louisiana Tech and LSU signing day classes through out the day. as we receive their confirmations.

I will also be tracking of Dooley (Former Tech Coach now at Tenn) was able to hold that class together as well as other stories.

Check back often!!!!

OTHER NEWS-UNOFFICIAL COMMITS ETC ( Latest news appears on top)
Kudos to Auburn They had a nice class and took Bama to the Buzzer today on who would win that in state battle. The demise of Auburn has been very overstated

It appears the LSU Battle over Trovon Reed is Over. A very good source says he is going to Auburn. He will sign his LOI at Noon. Still great class for LSU

Good Grief EGO to LSU per CBS . HUGE. How did Les pull this Class out of the fire.

I have to Look at Tennennesse final list more closely but besides losing a huge player to LSU Dooley did well holding that class together

Arkansas is annoying that they will not release the offical list of their guys till Fraking 3:30. Yeah I know that makes money for theier Lunchon but give me a break
