  1. The same Worthy who was on the sidelines for the A&M game yucking it up?
  2. Endries is cool, but not worth overpaying for. If we can get a plus blocker at the position who has some decent athleticism, that would be good enough. Townsend is gonna bloom in his first spring. Already one of the better blockers and he has the best speed/athleticism in the room. It is also Washington’s shit or get off the pot year. Winston showed better utility than expected as well.
  3. Blessing in disguise, plenty of powder to attack no brainer early contributors and portal help.
  4. We literally landed three in the last cycle and one in this one. If you could edge guys that number jumps even higher. We also brought in a freshman AA in Maraad Watson. Relax. That being said, if this Chris Henry Jr. deal means no Lockett/Ffrench/Moore, then so be it.
  5. That wasn’t too difficult.
  6. I’m not a Twitter embedding person, so I’ll leave it off the main thread, but James Johnson has signed.
  7. Bryaten Martinez signs with LSU. Probably no positive fireworks today.
  8. Would suck to lose Wisner, but he probably kills it at a place like SMU or maybe TCU.
  9. I agree with much of this. He’s an athletic Tarzan who plays like Jane way too often. He should be bullying DBs at times, but we rarely even see him make contested catches. It’s hard, but that’s what big time WRs do.
  10. An issue with the A+ kitty is that it is far more expensive than the B+ kitty because it is highly sought after. On top of that, what happens when said player chooses to sit out with minor injuries? Give me the talented, semi productive, undervalued guys who are out to prove something.
  11. Fair enough, I’m looking at the trend of the Kelly tenure though. The offense got worse once they lost Denbrock for sure.
  12. Glasscock is at LSU now
  13. How did SJSU’s OL do against Ohio State? OU? Arkansas? TAMU? One game is not an entire season. Flood needs to get his shit together, but unless there is a clear upgrade available, we should stand pat.
  14. LSU’s problem was not offense. They’ll probably improve from what they did this year, but they need to improve the defense. When has Lane ever been the HC of a team with a good defense? Last year’s OM team was possibly his best and they were stacked with talent on that side. If they don’t win early during this honeymoon phase, I could see them falling off pretty quickly.
  15. Rs sophomore, if he wants to enter the draft, he can. Also undersized, I don’t think he would do well behind our OL unless he’s special.
  16. The only fireworks I wanna see are the ones where we land some quality OL transfers and a bruising transfer RB with good feet and contact balance. I would also take some more interior DL. Last thing we need right now is more expensive true freshmen who are marginal contributors.
  17. With Richard Anderson declaring so quickly after Kiffin's hiring that he's signing with LSU, I'd be shocked if Frank Wilson wasn't being retained.
  18. Burke has some really good tape against quality opponents and likely shows an upward trend. Combine that with his measurables and potential and he's a 6th rounder at worst.
  19. Burke didn’t quite become Hutch, but he did very well considering his ranking. His best football is ahead of him if he keeps up his work ethic. Was hoping Vasek would be more impactful by now, but we’ll see if he sticks around to take another crack at it.
  20. You bring them in to compete. Gavin Holmes did it just fine. It happens all the time.
  21. Jonah is playing baseball. I wouldn't be surprised if that's what he ends up focusing on after next year. Hicks, Filsaime, and maybe JJR are the guys i could see us counting on for next year. D. Williams has lost a step following his injury, maybe he's still recovering, but he wasn't great out there this year. Even if we look to move a nickel/corner back there, we still need to bring in a proven guy at both safety and corner. McDonald coming back would be amazing, and he would benefit from another year unless he gets a day 2 grade like you said. Black finally showed some promise in the a&m game playing more press man. Kade and Littleton are also quality, but a fourth guy here would be nice. Not sold on Roberson at all. Assuming Wilson is a bust at this point, so unless we rely on more true freshmen, we need at least two guys at DB in the portal.
  22. There is a large chasm between the Cam Coleman/Ryan Williams supertalents/super expensives and the lower profile guys who will fit into the culture while providing a trait/skill that the team needs at WR or any other position really. We gotta go find more of those and pick our spots on the super talents we go after. Can't rely on developing these unproven guys. Let them prove themselves while you work to raise the floor of the team.
  23. Because we're gonna try to upgrade his position. If he isn't guaranteed to start, then he likely wants to go somewhere where he's more likely to do so.
  24. It's all relative. Are they good o-linemen? No. Are they better than the matadors we had at LG for the first half of the year? Without question. They gave us time to survive this season and get it fixed without our season completely bottoming out.
