Their offense is inept. Only scored 53 tonight and Johni Broome was back.

UT is ranked #3 in the country in opponents ppg.....

Meanwhile Auburn's offense is ranked #17 in the country in ppg.

They had an off night against a top 6 team in the country who also happens to have the 3rd best defense in terms of ppg.

I wouldn't call that inept :lol:

How much research have you done on the players that other schools have been picking up? It's a legitimate question, I think we have done great, but why do you think that there is no way that 6 other teams

Michigan has 8 to our 14 with 21 leaving to our 17. On top of that we have 7 top 100 players to there 1….

Maybe I’m dumb but their class isn’t even in the same stratosphere.

Center/Guard
Safety
D Line

Imo those are the 3 most important in no particular order!

Hopefully Frank can close on Stewart! Such a big position of need right in our backyard!

I know Oregon has seemed like the front runner here recently but on3 still has LSU as the leader fwiw.

Let’s finish strong and carry some momentum into 25!

Obviously the 27 class is far out from now but this kids looks like the real deal.

Doesn’t hurt that he plays in our backyard.

What are yalls thoughts on him both as prospect and us ultimately landing him?

Seems like Louisiana will have 3 straight years of solid prospects and it seems like it will continue with the 26 and 27 classes.

I know Brian Kelly preaches wanting to build through the high school ranks. I understand what he’s trying to get at from a long term standpoint.

Problem is, HS players are young inexperienced and a lot of times not physically ready for the rigors of the SEC.

If you don’t supplement solid recruiting classes with solid transfer classes, we will be stuck in the same predicament.

You think Ole Miss regrets bringing in a Walter Nolen and Umanmielen, you think Oregon regrets bringing in a Dillon Gabriel and Harmon and Stewart, how about Miami with Cam Ward, OSU with Judkins and Downs, Bama with Proctor and Brailsford, Aggies with Scourton, Texas with Bond and Makuba.

I could go on and on and on. If LSU doesn’t start bringing in these types of players as well we are going to keep being middle of the pack.

As good as this upcoming class is, we need multiple starting caliber players at a plethora of positions, IOL, S, LB, DT, DE, TE, that frankly our class isn’t going to shore up.

We have a big opportunity to finish the year strong and carry momentum going into 2025, but if we get left at the altar again in the transfer portal and bring in another extremely underwhelming transfer class, it’s gonna be very hard to compete next year.

I heard that. In a weird way, NIL has helped it have more parity.

I still think it needs some type of regulation but the haves and haves not have gotten closer together.

History and tradition have been thrown out the window to an extent.

It’s all about the money now and more people can fish in that pond than before.

I guess this is better than having a DB named Burns

The sad thing is oh how appropriate that has been for him lol.

let’s say, a very poor run fit by Whit Weeks on that long TD run? Probably a combination of both.

---

I’m actually gonna blame the DE for crashing inside. Absolutely no reason for that. Weeks already had that gap.

Weeks didn’t have his best game, that’s for sure, but that was all on the DE.

CB Pickett
CB Toviano or whoever CB2 is

I feel like Pickett is eventually a safety at 6'4.

Also, if they stuff that recently came out about Toviano are true, he may not be on the team much longer.

Just saying!
