re: LSU looking to add another WR?

If this is indeed the case, I am extremely confused by their management of the WR room (and the roster generally). Entering this offseason, we had a pretty good idea that Lacy and Hilton would be solid starters. Prior to spring practice, we didn't necessarily know if they'd be true difference makers, but I don't think many would've argued with the notion that those 2 were more than adequate to fill 2 of the 3 starting WR spots.



I was fine with brining in another starter - especially CJ Daniels, who seemed/seems like he has star potential. But it never really made sense to me to bring in him AND zavion thomas. With both of them, you're now really starting to push other guys down the depth chart. There's gotta be an odd man out between Hilton/Daniels/Thomas, and presumably it's not the new additions. But even if you think that both of those new guys are better than hilton, it's pretty hard for me to buy that the worse of those two is SO much better as to justify using your resources in that fashion. And that's before even considering the group we've got waiting in the wings.



All that said, I can at least get on board - you figure lacy+hilton+one of daniels/thomas, and the other maybe sticks around another year. But it gets really tough now to bring in ANOTHER guy. By now you've seen Lacy and Hilton show out all spring. So you've got 2 guys you're excited about, 2 transfers who should both be solid at worst, PLUS a group of remaining guys with a lot of promising talent. Also you're talking about playing more 12 personnel and emphasizing the TE - so the third WR isn't even as important as it might typically be. But we STILL need another WR? That's the position we want to use our limited open scholarships on?


Idk, it just seems bizarre to me, unless they're fully expecting two of sampson/parker/anderson to enter the portal
