re: Jardin Gilbert

I made that comment.

I personally would rather Gilbert not be in our class, as we have more pressing needs (OL) than a 4th safety.

He is a good player who we made a committable offer to very late in the process. I think he would be the worst of 4 safeties, and 3rd out of 4 at best.

I think if LSU would have truly been on this kid from the getgo he would 100% be at LSU, but that is not the case. It's not a troll, it's just a fact that LSU rarely loses out on instate guys they really want, and when they do, it is almost always Alabama.

I don't think Gilbert is bad, I just think a majority of LSU fans will be relieved that he won't end up in this class so we can go after OL and then 1 or 2 guys in the portal.

ETA: I wouldn't be mad if he came to LSU, but I would honestly rather save that spot. I think he will commit to A&M and you'll find most LSU fans be fine with that outcome.
