The LSU Tigers are still riding the high of the Lane Kiffin hiring as the end of spring practices is on the horizon, and recruiting becomes the main focus. For the Tigers, this recruiting class more than any other should be absolutley loaded as the program rides the buzz of Kiffin's decision to take over at the helm.
As things currently stand, Lane Kiffin and LSU hold the Nation's 10th ranked recruiting class with 4 players already committed. Over the next several weeks, Lane Kiffin and the Tigers should only see this class grow in terms of commitments and rank with several notable recruits set to make their announcements.

The task for Lane Kiffin and LSU is finishing out this recruitment as they'll hope to land a commitment. Luckily for Lane Kiffin, cornerbacks coach Corey Raymond has a treck record that speaks for itself, and ever since his return to Baton Rouge he's been on a tear on the recruiting trail.
Given the talent LSU has in it's own backyard paired with the players they've been pushing for, the Tigers could easily leave this cycle with the Nation's top class. The next several weeks will be critical for the Tigers, and if they can start reeling in the commitments it could be a wave to follow.
