LSU fans found out early Wednesday morning what Ed Orgeron had known for a couple of days - that the Tigers weren't going to fill their signing allotment on National Signing Day.
Orgeron and the Tigers went into the day with four open spots and ended with just two signees in Scotlandville's Kelvin Joseph and Rummel's Ja'Marr Chase.
LSU missed out on cornerback Mario Goodrich, who committed to Clemson, and cornerback Patrick Surtain, a longtime LSU lean who had named the Tigers his leaders on multiple occasions but ultimately signed with Alabama.
That left LSU scrambling, but Orgeron says the Tigers do have a plan going forward.
