He doesn't need to gain 50 pounds you moron. Also, how do you know how much he actually weighs right now? Breaux had to correct some Twitter dude that was still putting his weight at 258 when he's now somewhere in the 270s

McKinley can most definitely get to 290 though.

Not that there won't be good players in that group.


That’s a rough, rough group for 2024 whether they get great coaching or not. The posters not concerned about this unit will be the first to melt if we can’t hold our own against USC.

And will still be a better team than any team Ed Orgeron put together. (Because the reality is, he had very little to do with 2019. FACT!!!!)

In reality all these DTs in the portal commanding these huge NIL deals are not world beaters. Nolen from A&M was the only one imo. Not sure any of them are actually better than what we have.


Bingo. None of them were worth the money they were asking and I’m damn glad we didn’t overpay for a half arse product.

I think we will see Guillory and Lee as the starters the first few games, with Paez and Shone making the second pair.
I think Shone is going to be an extremely important surprise to the group. If Paez can hold his own then there is your 2 deep.

At that point we need 2 more guys that aren't total liabilities, or any combination of 2 guys to fill out the 3 deep.

An All-American interior D-Line, well it's definitely not that, but can it be competitive against the run enough to give your team a chance to win ? I think so.

For perspective, if not for the second transfer window, the venom poured over the program for the state of interior D-Line wouldn't be nearly as toxic as it is with it.

Teams made due with what the had after the spring for a long time, and LSU will have to do so this year. I don't think its as gloom and doom as some of yall do, that's obvious, but even the teams that went out and bought the players think they needed will still have to practice and go out and play the games.

When it's time for LSU to go play, I think this ragtag group of nobodies might even surprise the worst of you nega-tigers.

Davon Godchaux wasn’t ranked nearly as high, missed his HS senior season with torn ACL and MCL and was a full time starter at 265-270 three games into his true freshman season.

There are 10 DT's on the roster and a pretty good coach coaching them. LSU will be fine.

Well I know it may be hard for to comprehend how recruiting works.
I’ve seen at least 3 or 4 people on here claim that this isn’t recruiting. “It’s portal.” Make up ya’ll minds.

McKinley may get a look at DE, then that allows another body to slide inside.

If he is going to Indiana, that means we didn't want him. This isn't basketball.

I think so too, but it won’t be this season if he’s only 250 lbs.

Everybody panic, now!

Some of you kids must think we have Jugheads running the ship when it comes to balancing locker room chemistry and evaluations with NIL $.

What is your actual point? McKinley is listed at 280 on 247 right now. Godchaux was listed at 265 on his HS 247 profile. We don’t have an official weight from LSU for McKinley yet.

Do you not think McKinley can reach a similar weight as Godchaux by the time fall camp rolls around?
