Honestly,Aranda has several top LBer prospects on the hook and will close strong either way

I agree he's trolling. We need to put all our energy into more talented prospects like Phillips, Gay, and Brooks

Debatable. I think Allen may be the best linebacker in this class.

Why not? If you're going to use rankings to make an argument, then you also have to concede that Dylan Moses is far better than any other linebacker LSU is pursuing.

Moses is a hell of an athlete but he is a lil overrated as a LBer

He has the record for most tackles in the history of the UA-AA game.

I also believe Allen to be the best linebacker in this class coming out of high school. I also like Van Cowan or whatever his name is that y'all have.

I hope LSU gets either Phillips, Gay, Taylor or brooks I would like to stop seeing holes in recruiting from year to year.

I also think y'all are getting Mathis as well, y'all matched our offer from what I've heard.

Tough to say. I like Allen's film better than Moses's, but Moses has that speed that can't be taught.

Well Bama is definitely stacked at LBer but Aranda is garnishing interest from quite a few talented backers and rightfully so,dude is a helluva DC

Allen has better instincts than Moses as of right now.

He's committed to Alabama. What would you like to talk about?

Hypothetically, if Phillips, Gay, Allen, Taylor, Chaisson, and Bryant all decided for LSU, what would Orgeron do? Not enough room for all of them.

Moses is the 32nd ranked player in the country and Willie Gay is the 33rd ranked player in the country. So far better isn't the right phrase.

Moses is #13 in the composite. That's way better than any other linebacker lsu is pursuing

Moses is still living off of the "I'm 13 years old, 6'2 & 230lbs of muscle" tag from when he was in 8th grade. He grew into his body and kept his speed but the majority of his IMG highlights are him making tackles way down field. His instincts aren't that good and will need to be coached. The good news for him is he's going to a place kind of known for doing just that with LBs.
