Si.com (Ross Dellenger)- How LSU landed Joe Burrow

The air filled with football talk from LSU coach Ed Orgeron, offensive coordinator Steve Ensminger and the Burrow clan: the quarterback himself, his football-coaching father Jimmy and his brother Dan.
“All ’ball,” Orgeron described it.
Orgeron heaped praise on his new quarterback, calling him a “game-changer and difference maker” in his first public comments since Burrow’s signing. “He’s smart and tough, got accuracy.”
“He didn’t want the red carpet. He wanted football,” Orgeron said from the Hilton Sandestin Beach Resort Hotel on Tuesday, the opening day of the four-day SEC spring meetings, much of which has focused on NCAA transfer legislation. “He didn’t want none of the recruiting process, none of that.”
Burrow dined with coaches Friday night, May 11, at Texas de Brazil, a pricey steakhouse chain that coaches use to court high school recruits during official visits. The film study unfolded Saturday. Coaches showed clips of Burrow while at Ohio State, comparing and contrasting them to plays in Ensminger’s new offense—specifically the system he ran in 2016 as LSU’s interim offensive coordinator.
“Had a nice cut-up of some of the plays that he ran and some of the plays we run. We asked him to take us through his reads. He was excellent,” Orgeron said. “He knew exactly what was going on, exactly the coverage, the reads. We went through some quarterback run plays. He was A-plus in that meeting.”
Saturday night included a dining trip to Mike Anderson’s, a popular seafood restaurant in Baton Rouge. "He really liked the boiled crawfish,” Orgeron said.
LSU first-year safeties coach Bill Busch served as the lead recruiter on Burrow. Busch served on Urban Meyer’s support staff at Ohio State in 2015, Burrow’s freshman season.
There was another convincing person, too: Burrow’s brother Dan, who lives in Houston. "Got to give Bill Busch a lot of credit,” Orgeron said.
Orgeron said he did not promise Burrow the job but had heard other programs did. (The Bearcats were the only other school the quarterback visited.)

I just don't understand why you would take a recruit to a chain restaurant.

Do we seriously take recruits to Texas de Brazil and Mike Anderson’s? I get the steak place, but there has to be better seafood places we can take them

How he would fit in the 2016 offense? Wasn’t that Les and Cam’s offense with a different playcaller??

Their website is getting even worse. I have 12 inches of vertical screen and can use 3 of it to read the article.

How many do they have in Louisiana. One? Would that be considered a chain

I'm glad he didn't want the red carpet treatment. Sounds like he is focused and will be prepared. Big difference from the attention seeking teenager dram queens to serious football players

It certainly can’t hurt that Burrow’s dad (“a longtime defensive coordinator at Ohio University”) will now have practically free access to the mind of Dave Aranda.

I can feel myself getting my hopes up again. Goddamnit

I'm just saying, I called this. Boil them crawfish and they will come.

quote:I hope that doesn't mean that he's planning on reneging on his promise to open the offense up by running a wide open offense that will use LSU's talented collection of WR's a helluva lot. Running stuff from 2016 is not wide open because it is more of the same with maybe a tad more passing involved. We will see what shite he comes up with!
Coaches showed clips whiles at Ohio State, comparing and contrasting them to plays in Ensminger's offense new offense----specifically the system he ran in 2016 as LSU's interim offensive coordinator.

Some of the best local restaurants in the country are close by and they take the recruits to a chain??? Hell there is a Texas de Brazil here in Richmond.

Not sure if it has been mentioned yet, but good pickup in Busch.

I thought this thread would be about recruiting tactics and considerations that led to signing a potentially great quarterback. Foolish me.
