I'm not quite sure, but hope this one turns out like Marlon Favorite. Always liked that kid....
Based upon seven-on-seven results recently, sounds like Underwood already has the better receiver committed along with him to LSU in Berry. ...

re: How will Kelly spin the DT situation?

We don't know the stories behind the stories, but I would imagine lots of parents/relatives are steering the recruits far more than simply putting the interests of the recruit first. They are encouraging gaming the system while they can for their own personal benefit. After seeing a season (or a...

USC money is in the movies. I'm not sure how many movie makers live for college football in such a glitzy town. I too often hear from my So Cal friends that so many from So Cal show up to the games and never turn off their phones to actually watch the game. It's all about selfies in the stadium to u...
Pate came to LSU early summer 2019 and saw what Burrow was doing with his receivers. He also sensed the synergy between the team mates. He was the first non-team-affiliated beat writer to suggest LSU could have a very special season that we all got to see unfold. ...
This article from last month says that Nussmeier has the 28th most lucrative NIL deal at $1,000,000. https://www.collegetransitions.com/blog/highest-paid-college-athletes/ Just to help put actual numbers into your analysis....
So much is about the motor, the desire and the work ethic. CBK hasn't been saying the current folks in place are dogging it; quite the contrary. Trust the excellent coaching will prevail....

Academics at Indiana trump LSU. Must have been something else . . ....
Perhaps CBK said it (just as much) to motivate the existing DTs on the team....

If the current Defense player personnel show marked improvement with the help of the new defensive coaching staff, the defensive recruits will start coming in droves. ...
What's the likelihood that Reliford adds muscle/weight to grow quickly into a DT? There's been nothing on that potential progress since he arrived in January. I thought that I recalled him showing up strong at Spring practice....
Isn't going after the sure thing over a long-term growth opportunity kinda what the majority of Americans would do? ...
I went and looked at the 247 Transfer Portal site. I was pretty surprised that none of the names we've been pursuing rank as high as a score of 90. There were so many DL's approaching 300 lbs. in the Portal ranked much higher who committed long ago. Throwing a bunch of money at a person scoring ...
That Defense at Ole Piss vs our offensive line. Iron strengthens iron. ...

I thought Alabama had the exception roster size which allowed them up to 120 on scholarship . . . I speak in jest, but it always seemed like that was happening there . . ....
We've seen freshman running backs at LSU make significant strides to help the team. If they have the skills for early impact, you simply don't pass that up. RBs don't last long in the NFL for a reason. If LSU can sell the fact that the RB will be a feature along with not leaving a potential pro futu...
Hopefully this will encourage other highly rated visitors with commitable offers to pull the trigger sooner than later; especially if the NCAA has another early signing period added (like with Men's Basketball)....

re: We still make the NCAA tourney

Not sure the team will host a first round or a regional however. How are they as a road team???...
The reality of recruiting the very biggest stars. Just have to keep the pedal to the metal as if there never was a commitment. Hire more "consultants" to help behind the scenes appear seamless. ...
I believe they over-exceeded this season, so getting much more than two or so conference wins more than will be achieved this year is likely their ceiling....
