"&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;The race to National Signing Day has begun.&lt;/em&gt; Sports Illustrated &lt;em&gt;and&lt;/em&gt; &lt;em&gt;Scout.com &lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;have partnered to provide complete coverage of college football recruiting. Follow along daily with conference-by-conference recruiting shows featuring analysis, breaking news, prospect breakdowns and much more all leading up to Signing Day on Feb. 3.&lt;/em&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;LSU keeping the best at home&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;On Thursday, four-star offensive tackle&amp;nbsp;Willie Allen&amp;nbsp;gave Les Miles and the&amp;nbsp;LSU Tigers&amp;nbsp;his verbal commitment. &amp;nbsp;It was the start of a great 24 hours for the Tigers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Allen is a 6'7\", 300-pound offensive tackle out of River Ridge (La.) John Curtis Christian and he committed to LSU over Georgia and TCU among others. &amp;nbsp;He could be a right tackle, or even a guard in college. &amp;nbsp;He has long arms, a great frame to work with, and he was the first part of a great couple of days for LSU in recruiting.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The second part was when five-star defensive tackle Rashard Lawrence committed to LSU on January 22. At his high school, Neville, Lawrence chose the Tigers over the Ohio State Buckeyes.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Lawrence is the No. 1 prospect in Louisiana, so this was a big get on multiple levels for the Tigers. &amp;nbsp;Lawrence is a force on the inside with great strength, good quickness, and he is one Ed Orgeron can build around in the coming years.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Bulldogs go out of state&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mississippi State&amp;nbsp;added a couple of commitments last week and they came from&amp;nbsp;Jamal Couch&amp;nbsp;and&amp;nbsp;Zach Farrar.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Couch is a versatile athlete out of Phenix City (Ala.) Central and the 6'5\", 217-pound senior is a former Florida State commit. He could project on offense or defense with his size, athleticism, and skill set.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Farrar is a big-time wide receiver out of Southlake (Texas) Carroll and he has a lot to like for a prospect at his position. He moves very well for his size (6'3.5\", 208 pounds), and he will immediately be a target down the field for the Bulldogs. The four-star chose Mississippi State over the likes of Oklahoma State, Texas Tech, and Washington.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Louisiana LB is a Hog&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Former Tulane commitment&amp;nbsp;Giovanni LaFrance&amp;nbsp;is headed to the SEC to play for the&amp;nbsp;Arkansas Razorbacks.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The 6'1\", 234-pound inside linebacker out of New Orleans (La.) St. Augustine was thought to be a lean to Utah before he was pursued by the Razorbacks. &amp;nbsp;When he got on campus, he quickly knew that is where he wanted to be the next four years.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;LaFrance has good size and strength on the inside. &amp;nbsp;He finds the ball well and he attacks. &amp;nbsp;He comes from a program that knows how to produce top football prospects.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Georgia gets big&amp;nbsp;Florida OL&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;One thing has been made clear since Sam Pittman took over as offensive line coach at&amp;nbsp;Georgia\u2014he wants to be big up front.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Solomon Kindley&amp;nbsp;gives him a big body to work with. &amp;nbsp;The 6'5\", 345-pound offensive guard out of Jacksonville (Fla.) Raines entered his official visit to Georgia without an offer, but got one during the trip, then committed before he left. He is a true road-grader who played tackle in high school but will move inside when he gets to Athens. &amp;nbsp;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He is a three-star prospect.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Two for the Tigers&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Missouri&amp;nbsp;added a couple of offensive commitments and one of those was three-star quarterback&amp;nbsp;Micah Wilson. Wilson is a 6'3\", 200-pound signal caller out of Tulsa (Okla.) Lincoln Christian and he is the No. 1-ranked quarterback in his state. &amp;nbsp;He was at one time committed to Boise State, but he is now set to play in the SEC. He is known for a big arm and the ability he has outside the pocket.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Damarea Crockett&amp;nbsp;flipped his commitment from Boise State to Missouri on Saturday. The running back out of Little Rock (Ark.) Christian ran for over 1,600 yards and scored 29 touchdowns as a senior. &amp;nbsp;He is close to 6-feet, just over 210 pounds, and he is a physical runner who fits the SEC style of play.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;\u2022&amp;nbsp;&lt;strong&gt;JOHNSON: 25 things to know about recruiting class of 2016&lt;/strong&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Aggies snag in-state signal caller&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Texas A&amp;M Aggies&amp;nbsp;lost a couple of quarterbacks to transfers late in 2015, but they added a talented on for 2016 in&amp;nbsp;Nick Starkel&amp;nbsp;last week.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It came down to the Aggies, North Texas and UCLA for the gunslinger out of Argyle (Texas) Liberty Christian. &amp;nbsp;Starkel is 6'3.5\", 186 pounds and he is the the No. 27-ranked quarterback in the country.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;He will have a shot for early playing time in College Station. He is smart in the pocket, he has a nice release, and he is known for his leadership.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Gamecocks grab Georgia TE&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Will Muschamp has been active in the state of Georgia since taking over at&amp;nbsp;South Carolina. The Gamecocks\u2019 latest commitment comes from a prospect out of the Peach State.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Robert Tucker&amp;nbsp;could be used as a tight end or H-back in Columbia and he is all in with South Carolina. &amp;nbsp;Tucker is 6'2.5\", 234 pounds and he has great hands. &amp;nbsp;He is a physical player out of Atlanta B.E.S.T. Academy. He could be a steal in this class for the Gamecocks. He is strong, he is versatile, and he could play many roles for the Gamecocks.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Vols dip into Georgia talent pool&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;The recruitment was a little strange for Scout 300 athlete&amp;nbsp;Marquez Callaway.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;It is known that Callaway's first love is basketball, but he knows his future is football. The Vols never backed off, so after taking an official visit to Tennessee, the 6'3\", 170-pound athlete out of Warner Robins (Ga.) committed to Butch Jones.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Callaway is an excellent athlete with ball skills, body control, and so much potential. &amp;nbsp;He is the No. 14-ranked athlete in the country on Scout.\r\n\r\n&lt;h3&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A shake-up at the top&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;There has been some movement this week at the top in&amp;nbsp;Scout's Team Rankings. There is a new No. 1 and it is LSU.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Florida&amp;nbsp;had that spot for a little while, then it was Ohio State, and as the week ended, it was the Tigers.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Plenty of other SEC schools are in the top 10.\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Florida\u20143\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Mississippi\u20146\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Alabama\u20148\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Georgia\u201410\r\n\r\n&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;See the full SEC Team Rankings&amp;nbsp;here.\r\n&lt;/p&gt;"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
