The three-day early signing period starts Wednesday, and it looks like LSU will have an exceptional class for 2023.
One of the top recruits in the country will announce his commitment on Thursday. Five-star cornerback [autotag]Desmond Ricks[/autotag] is down to his final three schools: LSU, Alabama and Florida.
On Tuesday, LSU insider Billy Embody released a new prediction that Ricks would commit to playing for [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] on the Bayou. LSU currently has the No. 5 class in the country according to 247Sports, but Ricks’ commitment could catapult the Tigers into the top three.
Ricks was considered the No. 1 recruit for the class of 2024 until he re-classified for 2023. Kelly made signing Ricks a priority, and because of that, LSU has been the favorite to land him for a long time.

We’ll see if the Tigers can close things out with Ricks.
