I've been positive throughout this process and just about every recruit, but this is ridiculous.
We have 2 tight ends we are pursuing in Spivey and Beal that are better and more athletic.
What the freak? This lesser than's are taking spots from those who are waiting to commit later in the process.
Do not like this pickup whatsoever.
Just my opinion, but if you watch his blocking and how he moves his feet, they might be hoping that he can morph into a Offensive Tackle.
Irregardless, Welcome aboard Zach.

Or he could be used as seen in his film, which by the way isn't his latest film. A big tough TE who can help convert 3rd downs by setting up a block, by chiping then run a route, and get a big score in a goaline or redzone situation.
You want to recruit versital guys and that's what I see going on here. It may be why they aren't so highly rated because they don't do 1 thing the best but can do a multitude of things well. They may also display toughness and football smarts that the coaches like. Certain traits just can't be taught and are instilled in some football players. It's not like LSU is getting left over 3* players, we are picking who they see fits the team first idea.
The little athlete we picked up last night had great vision and cutting ability mixed with short field quickness. That guy playing at 205 to 210 will be a great slot WR who can also run the end around better than most. That's what I mean by fitting what you need. We might have a team full of guys they think can fill many other rolls so we just need to plug in a few holes the coaches feel can make our team whole. If LSU is offering then these recruits are standing out and do the things we need very well apparently.
I'm sure they are also looking into next years recruiting cycle to the recruits they believe they'll pick up to fill the voids at that time as well. Once all the voids are filled, you pick up the best players you can at the end to bring the best quality depth you can find.

It is definitely a different philosophy. I like the recruits we got so far and they all seemed undervalued as a whole, but Zach does not fit the bill for the type system Canada runs. It also is odd seeing that we have 2 players that are likely commits in Spivey and Beal that are better overall players.
But, it seems that the poster who said Coach O is telling kids your spot isn't secure and that you better commit or lose out, is spot on.
I hope it works out. I still am not crazy about this commit.
He reminds me of Tyler Edwards when he committed out of Ouachita a few years back (RIP). Same type player it looks like.
With Spivey you have a 6'6 220 athletic kid who is an athlete. He played basketball and has great hands. He plays for a poor program, but his talent is there.
As for Beal you have a physical tight end who also can go catch the ball at 6'5' 250.
As I said, this is the first head scratcher so far in my eyes. We have limited spots on offense and filling it up with players we don't necessarily have to take as of today is questionable at least.
