LSU has a top 5 recruiting class in 2023 as November comes to a close
As the calendar prepares to turn to December, we’re just three weeks away from the beginning of the early signing period on Dec. 21.
With 23 commitments already, it makes sense that things have slowed down on the trail a bit for the Tigers since a busy couple of months during the summer. LSU did add two commits in November, four-star offensive tackle DJ Chester and three-star edge rusher Dylan Carpenter.
However, the Tigers do have a few more spots available down the stretch than we initially expected as LSU lost commitments from four-star defensive linemen Darron Reed — who flipped to Auburn — and Joshua Mickens in the last week.
Still, LSU has one of the best classes in the country with the chance to get even better if it could land a player like five-star cornerback Desmond Ricks. Here are the rankings at the end of November, per the 247Sports Composite.
