LSU coach Les Miles has enjoyed an incredible amount of success in Baton Rouge, reaching double-digit win totals in each of the previous three seasons to go along with his 2007 BCS national title. However, he is going to have to put on his shiniest shoes for his current crop of incoming recruits.

Miles and his staff have quite a few holes to fill on the roster. The Tigers were hit hardest of all college football teams by attrition, as a whopping 10 former players are headed to the 2013 NFL Draft.

Of course, this means he is able to dangle the prospect of immediate playing time for several of the nation’s top remaining unsigned recruits.

We are spending all day on Wednesday, Feb. 6 tracking each and every one of the Tigers’ recruits, to find out whether or not the Mad Hatter’s mad dash for prospects is even more successful than it already has been. We will provide regular updates throughout the day as to who has signed, who is going to sign, and who is unfortunately going to sign somewhere else.

Note: The list will be updated at the top of every hour.

Current number of total commits: 28
