LSU running back tries to make impact on baseball team
http://www.2theadvocate.com/sports/lsu/114886774.html?utm_source=bleacherreport.com
As he watched the Cotton Bowl unfold and saw Spencer Ware carve a place in LSU’s football future, Tigers baseball coach Paul Mainieri saw plenty to like.
Ware rushed for 102 yards on 10 carries against Texas A&M in LSU’s 41-24 win, setting himself up as a contender for the starting tailback spot in 2011 now that Stevan Ridley has departed early for the NFL draft.
“Every time he touched the ball, I would turn to my son Tommy and say ‘This kid is moving up the baseball depth chart with each carry,’ ” Mainieri said with a grin.

College Football Predictions 2011: Over-Under Win Total on Every SEC Team
The LSU Tigers have a great football program with deep-rooted tradition.
With the "Mad Hatter" Les Miles leading the team it's just a matter of time before the Tigers bring home another BCS trophy.
Perhaps it will happen in 2011.
Some feel the LSU Tigers will be the No. 1 team in the country when the 2011 season starts. We shall see.
2010: 10-2 overall, 6-2 SEC
2011: 12-1 overall, 8-0 SEC
Final Senior Bowl update

The South defeated the North 24-10 in the Senior Bowl on Saturday thanks to a pair of touchdown passes from Florida State quarterback Christian Ponder.
Here's a wrap-up from the Scouts Inc. guys on what former SEC players helped themselves and those who maybe didn't help themselves last week in Mobile, Ala.:
Georgia offensive guard Clint Boling, Alabama offensive tackle/guard James Carpenter, LSU linebacker Kelvin Sheppard and Tennessee tight end Luke Stocker were among the players Todd McShay listed whose draft stock is on the rise coming out of the Senior Bowl. Boling and Stocker exceeded expectations, according to McShay.
LSU place-kicker Josh Jasper demonstrated good accuracy inside 40 yards, but wasn't as consistent on longer field goals. His hang time on kickoffs was good, but he was average to below average with his distance.

RABALAIS: Signing day complicated for Tigers
The LSU Tigers are just two days away from signing an exceptional recruiting class.
LSU has horded most of the state’s bluest blue-chip talent, filled its needs amply at just about every position except linebacker, and virtually assured itself of a psychologically important top-10 national recruiting ranking.
But nothing is as simple as it looks. And as the Tigers tick off the hours until the national letters of intent come rolling in, there are complications.
Boy, are there complications.
LSU has set up its own ceiling with this recruiting class by proposing to the NCAA that it sign only 23 players. That’s based on LSU’s self-reported recruiting violations concerning the now long gone Akiem Hicks and ex-assistant D.J. McCarthy and a glut of impermissible recruiting phone calls made by non-coaching members of the LSU football staff.

LSU football: Elliott Porter enrolled, plans to walk on in spring
Baton Rouge - Former Shaw lineman Elliott Porter confirmed he is enrolled for the spring semester at LSU and plans to join the football team as a walk-on during spring practice.
"I'm great (with being here)," Porter said Wednesday. "I love it. This is my home. I don't hold any grudges. I want to get on with my career."
Porter (6-feet-4 and 285 pounds) wasn't so happy with LSU last August when he was informed that despite signing a national letter of intent in February of 2010, the Tigers program did not have a scholarship for him immediately.
LSU Coach Les Miles asked Porter to take a grayshirt - wait until January before enrolling on scholarship - but Porter declined. He asked for and received a release and signed with Kentucky.
After redshirting with the Wildcats in the 2010 season, Porter decided to come home. He played defensive line in high school but will be an offensive lineman at LSU.
