Where am I wrong?????



You just posted why you were wrong, did you forget what you said? You said, and I quote:

quote:

Without looking, I would guess that all of the players from LSU were highly ranked recruits


Sheppard - 3 star
P. Riley - 3 star
Debo Jones was a 3-star composite (LINK )
Duke Riley this year was a 3-star
Lamin Barrow - 3 star (2014 5th round pick)

That's a lot of 3-stars, the majority. Mingo never played LB here.

The UGA posters used to complain the most about trolling on this board.

It looks like he committed a year before so maybe he would have gotten some better offers but that's crazy that a player ranked that high in a talent rich state wouldn't have more offers at that point.

I still remember watching video of TM from that Tennessee camp.

Definitely was not the case. I remember it well. He had to earn his offers through camps.

Iirc he crushed a Bama camp too and didn't get an offer and was pretty pissed about it

We're in on a handful of 4-stars at the moment. We're going to get at least 2, hopefully 3.

Who? I am genuinely curious since you are confident that your LB haul will match ours. Currently we have three 4 stars and Monty Rice, and are likely landing another 4 star (Leonard Warner).

Isn't the lack of depth at LSU specifically at ILB?

Correct, and that's what the recruits are all being sold on right now and you'll probably see a slew of visits happen in the coming weeks.

Heavily recruiting:
Jacob Phillips
Willie Gay
Chris Allen
Ellis Brooks
K'lavon Chaisson
Will Ignont
Tyler Taylor

I think you see us wind up with 2 if not 3 of those, all 4-stars. I think if we flip Phillips, Taylor goes to OU.

I'm really hoping we can convince Chaisson to leave Texas. He looks like a Key clone.

Agree 100%, added him to the list, even though not really an ILB. We could definitely add him but it seems like he's Texas' to lose.

Also just saw Ignont set his OV to us, added him as well.

Is he a linebacker or DE?

Tyler Taylor

I don't know quite what to make of him. He was never on our radar, although that could just be because we had others pop first.

DE in 4-3
Buck OLB in our 3-4, same position as Arden Key

Taylor seems to be a bit on the backburner for us right now, but we recently re-opened line of communication with him to a new higher level. Phillips is the guy they really want for ILB, and supposedly OU thinks if he does flip Taylor will commit to them. The staff is pushing all those guys I listed pretty hard right now, trying to get them all in for visits.

Ignont, Gay and Brooks are all coming in for visits. Allen probably will unless Saban gets to him an squashes it (he's working hard telling him to not visit).

Right now

Patrick Queen (commit) and Willie Gay are confirmed for the 20th
Will Ignont and K'lavon Chaisson confirmed for the 13th
Ellis Brooks coming in 2 weeks I believe on a mid week official visit

Would not surprise me if they push hard for Phillips to also visit on the 20th, but I think he has to on his own dime. They are trying to get Allen in whenever he can.

Aranda is a top LB coach in the country, so if this thread is about Gay being developed at LSU, you should see yourself out. MSU is a tier 3 program and you will never develop nor put players in the NFL like LSU. That is why LSU will always put recruit you. Sorry


McKinney and KJ are both better than any LB LSU currently has in the league.

So yeah, eat shite.
