Has A&M produce anything at WR since Mike Evans?

Most of the kids that go there fizzle out, because it’s an obvious money grab

---

Only other really good one was Christian Kirk. Josh Reynolds was pretty good for them, but he's been at best a #3 option, but #4 option on average.

They've gotten TONs of other top WRs to go there and they amount to nothing in college or the pros.

Their 3rd best WR in the last 15 years couldn't hold DJ Chark's beer. Chark at the absolute best, is the 7th best WR to come out of LSU and go into the pros. Rueben Randle had a really good 4 year stint (have absolutely no idea how he did nothing afterwards), and Brandon LaFell was a #2 WR almost his entire career. I won't fault you for your order of ranking them 7th, 8th, or 9th, in LSU pecking order in that span. Hell, Christian Kirk himself would be 7th at best.

My love for high school recruiting have slowly dwindled throughout the years, I’m finally to the point where news like this doesn’t affect me one bit. I’m free yall

---

Me too lol. Neither pissed nor dismayed. We get who we get and i follow the signees and check the board daily.

were any of those guys 160 lbs?

1. You're moving goalposts.

2. Devonta Smith was listed as 6'1 160. When he went to the draft after 4 years at Bama, he was 6'0 170. Anderson is listed at 6'0 160.

Don't know about you, but many of us hated when Smith turned us down to head off to Bama. We didn't care that he was 160lbs or barely 6 foot (he's just barely 6 ft).

I expected this. All this talk of taking 5 WRs with 2 being 5 stars and three being in the top 75, sounded way too bloated to me. People saying we are losing a lot of WRs just don't get it. Nobody wants to be in the same class, in the same exact position, as four other guys.

If we can somehow land Feaster and keep the other three, Hankton will have reeled in the best WR class in LSU history.

Unlike you, i don't need to see the kid win events. I love what i hear about Haven, and he's still my #1 QB for LSU in 2027. Doesn't mean i don't like the other guys, I just like him more. Love his potential more.

Once this happens. We have a legitimate top 5 roster in the country.

---

And to have one of those type of rosters you need;

Elite star power
Experienced depth
Legit freshman starter talent

You have your exceptions to the legit starter freshman players like Michigan, but what they lacked there, they made up for in MANY super old experienced players who had played in the same system for 3+ years together.

Other than Clemson had Trevor Lawrence/Justyn Ross, LSU had Derek Stingly Jr, Alabama did have Will Anderson, but they also lucked out on covid (cases, guys not quiting before or during the season, etc), UGA had Brock Bowers/Ladd McConkey/AD Mitchell, UGA again had Mykel Williams/Malaki Starks, and Ohio St had Jeremiah Smith.

That boy Corey Raymond a friggin DAWG in these recruiting streets.

The players as a collective wanted this free agency. They got it. It works both ways. LSU can also look just like players.

Yeah the freshman in high school (or maybe he was in 8th grade at the time", wanted this :rolleyes:

College sports is really broken if freshmen are transferring now…

---

Unbelievable how ridiculous some of you are :lol:

Every single day yall are looking for a transfer to come to LSU even with a "loaded for depth" group. Do you think a kid is going to stay buried on a depth chart for you amusement?

The more you go after transfers, the further it pushes down guys. When a kid realizes he's likely dead last in rotation even before all the new freshman come in and guys like Rich Anderson comes, the writing is on the wall.

Kelly happy with Gilbert and Toviano at safety lol

---

I am so damn glad that Kelly is thinking like im thinking. You have youngish talented guys who just need to get a chance on the field. You have a veteran who was fairly decent at TAMU, playing last year injured all year long. You have a transfer in Cooley who could give you help at nickel. Depending on how your corners turn out Delane could legit start at corner or safety, he's that good and versatile.

Kelly, like me, doesn't want to keep stacking transfers on top pushing off development and experience of guys he's recruited. You have multiple safety prospects with experience plus a blend between first time starters with years in the system and fresh faces. There are no Caleb Downs' in the portal. At this point you'd be reaching for guys that may or may not be as good as what you already have.

Same with DT. Im seeing all the local media people talking DT? I don't care what they've seen at practice or heard around. LSU has two legit options at Nose with one being a 5th year player. They also have a huge talented 5 star sophomore who is legit a starter with a backup in Breaux who played great in relief as a freshman. And again, there are no star DTs in the portal. Who left in the portal could beat out who we have?
