Seems like he and the staff have made a very good impression on at least Harold Perkins' mother, whether they get the kid or not:

quote:

“When people say new coaching staff, you be like ‘oh lord’ wondering if they have their stuff together and how their personality is going to be,” (Bertha) Walton explained. “Will the environment be a homey environment. Stuff like that. It was nice. It was amazing to say that they just got their new coaching staff, it was amazing. It was a very homey environment. Harold didn’t have to ask too many questions because they were hitting everything on the nose. They really answered the questions before he could ask the question.”

quote:

“To have people come aboard and to be organized at a high level it was mind-blowing," Walton said. "It was more organized and everyone is on task and one one accord. The atmosphere was different from any other time we went. It was a more calm and peaceful environment. You really didn’t have to ask too much. And the head coach (she started laughing) he came down and really interacted with the kids. The coach at Florida did the same thing. That stood out to me. Interacted with the kids during their photo shoot. They danced and I”m like wow.”

It is amazing to me how angry these other fans are over the LSU coach mixing up with recruits on an official visit

Thank God - I was concerned we wouldn't be able to see Brian gyrating on young men for years to come with all of the negative attention he was getting.

Not sure if you remember it or not but there was a narrative here that Kelly wouldn't fit in at LSU because he was an aloof Yankee arsehole.

Seems like that's being shot all to hell here in the early going but he still has to win the games.

Ain’t nobody angry, and I’m not sure how you could even mistake what you see for anger.

We are quite literally laughing. Just like that recruit’s mom and the rest of the world.

When do LSU fans expect the next top ten recruiting class?

247 Sports has them at #9 currently in their combined transfer+recruits rankings.

I'll take that in a transition year where basically no one from 2020 is here anymore.

Seriously? Next year, no doubt. I mean, if we close with Matthews, Perkins, and Citizen on Wednesday, we finish in the Top 10 this year. I honestly would be shocked if that happens, but we should still finish Top 15. Coaching changes absolutely suck for recruiting, but this is not nearly the disaster it could have been.

The better question would be when do we expect to finish in the Top 5. Depending on how the in-state ranking fall out, I would hope Kelly accomplishes that next year.

A&M, Florida, or LSU. Regardless where her kid goes, I like me some Bertha Walton.

Why do you think his dancing makes us angry? It doesn’t. It’s just cringey as hell. Sorry that makes you angry

You mean, Brian Kelly the pedophile. He sure likes grinding on teen boys. Maybe its just a catholic thing though.

She seemed kind of down on LSU while Orgeron was there and it seems Kelly has really changed the place for the better, at least to her point of view.

That's encouraging.
