Another edition of LSU spring football is complete, but the offseason itinerary for the LSU coaching staff has only just begun.The LSU coaching staff will hit the recruiting trail from April 15 to May 31 during the spring evaluation period where assistant coaches can visit the high schools of prospective student-athletes in the class of 2011.A recruiter is allowed two visits to a high school campus in order to assess the athletic ability and academic standing of any particular student-athlete, according to NCAA regulations.During the academic evaluation, recruiters are allowed to conduct both an athletic and academic assessments, leaving the opportunity for a second athletic evaluation.But recruiters are prohibited from communicating with a student-athlete during an evaluation visit.Mike Scarborough, recruiting analyst for Rivals.com, said the evaluation period is significant for LSU because it allows coaches to make a lasting impression on uncommitted recruits and get a sneak peek at potential candidates for the class of 2012.”In LSU’s case, there are so many commitments and only so many spots,” Scarborough said. “So a real emphasis for them this year is to be seen on the high school campuses and further develop relationships with the high school coaches.”Scarborough expects LSU to focus on the top remaining uncommitted players in Louisiana during the evaluation period. Headlining that list is five-star defensive end Jermauria Rasco from Evangel Christian Academy in Shreveport. Scout.com ranks Rasco as the No. 2 defensive end in the country.Scarborough also said another recruiting priority for LSU is Greg Robinson, an offensive lineman from Thibodaux High School. Robinson, a four-star prospect, ranks fifth among offensive guards in Scout.com’s national rankings.Robinson said the idea of playing in front of his hometown fans is very attractive, but he doesn’t want to rush his decision.”I’m trying not to feel the pressure with all of it now,” Robinson said. “I will make the call as soon as I know the timing is right.”Robinson said LSU is among 14 other schools that have offered him a scholarship, and that he will consider all of his options despite LSU’s proximity to his hometown.”It is in my heart that LSU is where I want to play,” Robinson said. “I am only worried about deciding early and then not giving myself the opportunity to look at everyone and give each school a chance.”Scarborough said Robinson reminds him of La’el Collins, the five-star offensive tackle from Redemptorist High School in Baton Rouge who committed to LSU last September.LSU enters the evaluation period with 10 commitments in its 2011 recruiting class, but Scarborough said he does not expect LSU to sign a full class of 25 commitments because only 14 seniors are currently listed on the LSU roster.He also said LSU has recently experienced an atypical amount of attrition — transfers, potential NCAA violations and significant medical issues — in comparison to other football programs.”[LSU] would need an abnormally large amount of attrition to get a full class,” Scarborough said. “After 22 [signees], they’ll have to start looking at greyshirts.”—————Contact Cory Boudreaux at [email protected]
