Looks like he's all that was advertised...

quote:

LSU football is in the final stretch of spring practice. Coaches have now got their eyes on a few newcomers, including LSU’s top-rated transfer CJ Daniels.

Earlier this week, offensive coordinator Joe Sloan was asked about what Daniels brings to the receiver room.

“CJ just brings such a level of consistency. You can see the experience in how he plays. He’s such a smart player,” Sloan said.

This will be Daniels’ fifth year of college football and Sloan said the leadership and work habits Daniels brings to the room have been nice to see.

LSU is losing two 1,000-yard receivers with Malik Nabers and Brian Thomas Jr. off to the NFL. That’s what made the addition of Daniels, who racked up 1.067 yards with Liberty in 2023, critical.

Sloan noted Daniels is still learning and adjusting to the playbook and doesn’t offer the continuity of the returning guys, but he’s excited about his ability to produce.

“He’s physical and he’s strong through the catch. I think he’s going to be a huge piece for what we’re doing in the fall,” Sloan said.

I hope that is true but I have seen this before. The prospect is indeed exciting but how many times has a player looked like all that was advertised in the spring only to be relatively obscure during the season for various reasons?

I'm sticking with cautiously optimistic but still very excited for the upcoming season.

I'll believe it when I see it on a Saturday.

Remember, Giles supposedly tore the first defense to shreds for a year of scout team.

I agree, but that was a far different coaching staff...

Numbers from the end of last season via @SECStatCat. Those are some huge names that he's ranked ahead of.

Game 1 is when we will have at least an idea. Until then, it’s all fake news

1.067 yards isn't very impressive

I mean Will Campbell is still technically 7 so we dont have to worry about that for at least one more year.
