LSU wanted him to grayshirt, he has been released from his LOI. I'll have something else in a minute. I'll post it here.

Due to the fact that all 27 of LSU's signees are academically qualified, there would not be scholarships available for two players.

According to sources close to the situation, Archbishop Shaw High School lineman Elliott Porter will not be with the team when practice begins Thursday. Porter was asked to take a greyshirt. However, he did not want to be greyshirted. Porter asked for and received a release from his letter of intent.

Porter will be immediately eligible at any other school. A possible destination for Porter is Tennessee. Last year, Porter made 65 tackles. As a junior, Porter recorded 85 tackles, including 20 sacks. LSU intended to move Porter to the offensive line. Porter worked out with the team during the summer.

With Porter leaving, there are only two offensive linemen in the 2010 recruiting class - Evan Washington and Cameron Fordham. Washington enrolled in school last January and participated in spring practice.

we have a numbers issue, not sure we have room even though we have a need.

If 2 of the 3 outstanding grade concerns make it, we are full up on the 25 number.

I was under the impression 2/3 is somewhat unlikely.

Yes, UT has the room thanks to some recent attrition.

And from 2010 I believe there are still 2 schollies left.
