Louisville continues to push for 4-star LSU receiver commit

Joseph Stone said the Cardinals gave him the “red carpet treatment” during his recent visit.

LSU has 14 commitments in the 2024 recruiting class, but one of those players is receiving the full-court press from an ACC program.

Four-star Fairburn (Georgia) Langston Hughes receiver [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] committed to LSU in July 2022, but he has continued to take visits. His latest trip brought him to Louisville, where the Cardinals staff reportedly made a strong impression.

According to On3’s Jeremy Johnson, Stone said the staff gave him the “red carpet treatment” and that he has strong relationships with the coaches, particularly receivers coach Garrick McGee.

Stone also has some connections to the program. He apparently has family in the area, and his cousin recently joined the team as a transfer. Stone said Louisville will receive an official visit from him, though he hasn’t set a date yet.

The No. 243 player in the 2024 class and No. 35 receiver according to 247Sports, Stone is the sixth-highest-ranked commit in LSU’s class and the only receiver. Keeping him on board is a priority for the Tigers, but they’ll have to fend off some competition down the stretch.

Texas is now targeting four-star wide receiver Joseph Stone. Continue reading “LSU commit, four-star WR Joseph Stone sets Texas visit”

Blue-chip LSU commit says he’s still open to other opportunities

Joseph Stone says he hasn’t closed his recruiting as he’s garnering quite a bit of interest from other programs.

The 2024 recruiting cycle just officially began, and LSU is already piecing together one of the top classes in the country. It features eight commits already and ranks third nationally, per the 247Sports Composite.

However, one of the top players currently in that group is far from a done deal.

Four-star Fairburn (Ga.) Langston Hughes receiver [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] is the second-highest-rated commit in the Tigers’ class, and the No. 125 player nationally has been committed to LSU since July. However, schools have continued to recruit him since then, and it seems they’ve found an open ear.

Stone told On3’s Jeremy Johnson that his recruitment isn’t closed, and he’s still having conversations with other potential suitors, though he did praise LSU’s staff and said he still has a connection with the program.

He named several programs that were continuing to pursue him, including Texas A&M. He said that he plans to take an official visit to LSU in addition to Miami, Oklahoma, Ohio State and Oregon. He said he also intends to take unofficial visits with the Aggies, the Ducks, USC and Alabama, which he was originally planning to visit last week but didn’t make the trip.

Stone remains committed to the Tigers, but it seems other programs have made the 5-foot-11 receiver a priority. LSU will hope it can keep him on board in the coming months.

LSU makes final 8 for 4-star wide receiver

The Tigers are one of a star-studded list of finalists for Bredell Richardson.

[autotag]Bredell Richardson[/autotag] is a 6-foot-1, 180-pound, four-star wide receiver from the class of 2024. Richardson is from Tampa, where he plays for Carrollwood Day High School. The Carrollwood Day Patriots finished the 2022 season 6-4 with a loss to Clearwater Central Catholic in the second round of the 1M District 3 playoffs.

Richardson recently released his final eight schools he is considering and the LSU Tigers made the list. The Tigers join Michigan, Notre Dame, Tennessee, Michigan State, Alabama, Colorado and Georgia. Richardson currently has no Crystal Ball projections, but Notre Dame is a 71% favorite to land him per On3.

LSU’s 2024 recruiting class currently ranks as the No. 2 class in the country. So far, that class only consists of one wide receiver, [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] from Langston Hughes High School in Georgia. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] is going to have to battle against his former team to try and land one of the best wide receivers in the 2024 recruiting class.

LSU makes top 8 for four-star wide receiver

The Tigers are making a push for Florida wideout Tawaski Abrams.

[autotag]Tawaski Abrams[/autotag] is a 5-foot-11, 175-pound, four-star wide receiver in the 2024 recruiting class. He is from Fort Myers, Florida, where he plays for Dunbar High School. The Dunbar Tigers finished the 2022 season 10-2 with a loss to Daytona Beach Mainland in the Class 3S semifinals.

Abrams was a star for the Tigers and his stats from the season earned him a spot on the first-team All-State team. Abrams recently released a list of his top eight schools, and the LSU Tigers made the list. LSU joins Florida State, Vanderbilt, Florida A&M, Penn State, South Carolina, Tennessee and Texas A&M.

The LSU 2024 recruiting class is currently ranked as the No. 2 class in the country with eight commitments so far including wide receiver [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] from Langston Hughes High School in Georgia.

Abrams has no Crystal Ball projections at this time, but Florida State is currently a 44% favorite per On3 with LSU being the second favorite at 20%.

LSU makes top 10 for 2024 four-star wide receiver

The Tigers made the cut for Florida receiver James Madison II.

[autotag]James Madison II[/autotag] is a 2024 four-star wide receiver from Fort Lauderdale, Florida, who recently included LSU in his top 10. He plays for St. Thomas Aquinas, a nationally-ranked high school football program that finished as the No. 6 team in the country at the end of the season.

The Raiders went 14-0 this season and won the 2022 3M state championship over Homestead 38-21. Madison is a star wide receiver for the Raiders and is ranked as high as the No. 12 wide receiver in Florida for the class of 2024.

LSU currently has eight commitments for the 2024 class including one wide receiver, [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] from Buford, Georgia. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has signed back-to-back top-ten recruiting classes and he is well on his way to signing another as this class is currently ranked as the No. 2 class in the country.

There’s no telling how the wide receiver room will look after next season with the transfer portal being as crazy as it is, Madison would be a great addition to it.

Every wide receiver offered by the Oklahoma Sooners in the 2024 recruiting cycle

Who are the Oklahoma Sooners targeting at wide receiver in the 2024 recruiting cycle?

The wide receiver position at Oklahoma has provided some fantastic production over the years. Big-name players like Sterling Shepard, CeeDee Lamb, and Marquise Brown are still having success at the NFL level.

Marvin Mims is the latest player to breakout, recording the first 1,000-yard season of his career in 2022. Jalil Farooq didn’t have as big a season as Mims, but he became an integral part of the offense in both the pass and run games.

In the 2022 recruiting cycle, the Oklahoma Sooners signed two four-star talents like the towering Jayden Gibson and Nic Anderson. In 2023, Oklahoma added four-star prospects Jaquaize Pettaway and Keyon Brown to the wide receiver depth chart.

The Oklahoma Sooners will look to build off of the depth they’ve already created by adding to the talent in the 2024 recruiting class. They’ve already received predictions to land four-star speedster Mario Craver out of Alabama.

Though we’re still a long way from the 2024 early signing period, here are the wide receivers they’ve targeted thus far in the cycle.

LSU reportedly prioritizing 4-star WR JJ Harrell in 2024

Harrell had positive things to say about LSU’s coaching staff.

[autotag]JJ Harrell[/autotag] is a 2024 6-foot-2, 185-pound, four-star wide receiver from Sardis, Mississippi, where he plays for North Panola High School.

He recently released the list of his top eight schools and the LSU Tigers made the list. [autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] and his staff are all-in on Harrell as they try to take him away from Ole Miss and Mississippi State.

Harrell currently has no Crystal Ball projections, but Lane Kiffin and Ole Miss are a 51% favorite to land him per On3.

Harrell was asked about his thoughts on LSU prior to his visit to Baton Rouge in January. Per On3’s Sam Spiegelman (subscription required), what sets LSU apart from other schools for him is that they care about more than just what happens on the field. They care about his grades and his goals in life.

The 2024 recruiting class for LSU is ranked as the No. 1 class nationally right now with eight commitments, including a wide receiver, [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag], from Langston Hughes (GA).

LSU cracks the top 10 for California receiver prospect

LSU will look to add Ryan Pellum to a 2024 class that currently ranks No. 1.

[autotag]Ryan Pellum[/autotag] is a 2024, 5-foot-11, 170-pound, four-star wide receiver from Long Beach, California, where he plays for Millikan High School.

Pellum recently released his top ten heading into 2023. The LSU Tigers made the cut along with Alabama, Michigan, Oregon, Georgia, UCLA, Oklahoma, Texas, Tennessee and Penn State. There are currently no Crystal Ball projections for Pellum on 247Sports, but Oregon is a 20% favorite to land the talented receiver on On3.

LSU currently has the No. 1 recruiting class in the country for the class of 2024 with eight commitments, including one wide receiver in [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] from Langston Hughes (Ga.).

[autotag]Brian Kelly[/autotag] has done an incredible job recruiting on the Bayou as he has landed back-to-back top-ten recruiting classes. The 2024 class is well on its way to going down as another top-ten class and possibly even better than that.

Pellum will be a name to keep an eye on moving forward to see if Kelly can pull Pellum out of California.

LSU makes the top 8 for 4-star 2024 receiver

LSU made the cut for one of 2024’s top wide receivers in JJ Harrell.

While schools make their final pushes for 2023 prospects, the 2024 recruitments are beginning to heat up.

According to 247 Sports, LSU’s 2024 class is currently the country’s best and LSU is positioned well with plenty of its top targets too. One of those targets is four-star wide receiver [autotag]J.J. Harrell[/autotag]. He recently dropped his top eight, and LSU made the cut.

247 Sports has yet to enter any Crystal Ball predictions for Harrell, but On3’s prediction machine currently has Ole Miss and Mississippi State leading for the Mississippi native. LSU’s 2024 class already has two pass catchers with receiver [autotag]Joseph Stone[/autotag] and tight end [autotag]Tayvion Galloway[/autotag].

 

LSU also remains in a good spot with Louisiana tight end [autotag]Trey’Dez Green[/autotag].

There isn’t a flurry of Louisiana pass catchers in the 2024 class, so Brian Kelly and staff will have to look elsewhere. LSU has a solid group of receivers in its 2023 class, headlined by hometown kid [autotag]Shelton Sampson Jr.[/autotag] and [autotag]Jalen Brown[/autotag].
