The enthusiasm regarding the OL is warranted. Not only did we get some great HS recruits, they will have time to season while these portal fellas play. And yes they will be good, thats the beauty of the portal its far more "hits" than "misses".

Look at Bama, for all their expertise, they have processed 5 or 6 linemen in the last year, the only one that left for the money was Cohen, the others just werent performing and 2 were 5 stars, the others 4s. And its not like they did not have a chance this season with the way their line struggled. HS lineman are just tough to judge.

The thing I absolutely love, we will have competition in the spring. Some of these guys already on campus better take notice and get their arses in shape or they will be processed in short fashion. Forget NIL money, some of these kids should not be on scholly.

Who are some of these kids on the roster, are they walkons, I see a slew of players that have never seen the field and I have never heard of them, certainly they are not scholarship are they?

It will take another year or two to fix the line, we have to layer in the classes and in the meantime we will have to do the portal all over again next year, but if this year is any indication, we certainly have righted the ship and momentum is very very difficult to get in life, and very tough to stop once you have it.

Can I have an Amen

Wrong again. I have been the most Pro Freeze fan on here. Even when everyone was begging for Kiffin and Deion. I have yet to knock Freeze. Some of you need to read post before you get all defensive.

That was a spot I was hoping would open. The coaches must not like our chances on getting another QB.

Can Finley transfer again without sitting out?… he’s either gotta graduate or do like Calzada and transfer down to FCS.

Oh no, he has a lot hope about his team and the OL. Better stop him.

Y’all really like to take post that aren’t all sunshine and rainbows completely out of context don’t y’all?

Rabern didn’t start the fight.

People were saying earlier that’s the reason he would stay still spring. Apparently can graduate with another semester.

Well, isn’t this interesting. A whole new wrinkle in the NIL arena.

Rashada has red flags everywhere. He will be another Tathan Martell.

LSU QB Walker Howard



247 Eval

quote:

Adequate frame with lean build that should add some mass in college. Established a following as an elite camp performer early in high school career before taking over varsity starting duties. Has posted encouraging testing numbers early in career (4.76 40, 4.40 shuttle). Consistent, accurate passer to all levels. Steps into throws and gets great zip on balls to the short-to-intermediate range. Posted stellar production in breakout junior campaign. Threw a lot of reps while also valuing the ball, as evidenced by only one INT per 63 pass attempts (five in 316 throws). Not a true dual-threat but functionally mobile with ability to extend plays outside the pocket. Remains accurate on the move. Squares shoulders and fires even when on the run. Plenty of arm strength but still probably some juice to squeeze out at the top end, which should come with add physical mass/strength. Typically stays on top of the ball but will have one sail a bit every once in a while. Possesses a good QB pedigree. Seems quite polished relative to age and could be a particularly high-floor QB at the next level. Projects to high-major competition with long-term NFL Draft potential.

That's going to be the new norm, as far as excuses for why someone doesn't sign where they commit.
