4* QB Justin Rogers on his visit this weekend

The 6-foot-4, 205-pounder heard stories about LSU opening it up under offensive coordinator Matt Canada. However, the four-star signal-caller was a little skeptical after hearing the same thing from Les Miles over the years with the same I-formation the focus of his offense.
“You had to keep closing your eyes then wiping your eyes and shaking your head to make sure you were watching LSU,” said Rogers. “You’re so used to seeing LSU in the ‘I’, but it was three and four wide receivers all the time. You just said, ‘dang that is LSU’.”
“They were three and four wide on almost every play with a lot of motion and a lot of shifts to try and confuse the defense,” explained Rogers. “It was definitely a lot more different than anything has been in the past.
“They weren’t really in the I [formation] that much and when they were they were shifting a lot and getting out of it. It looked like a fun offense to be playing in and it definitely opened my eyes.
“That will definitely be a factor seeing it with my own eyes and hopefully I won’t be committed by then and I can see it again at the spring game. It definitely helped seeing it yesterday.”
Sounds like the offense rolling and hopefully we are gaining interest from him.
Also goes on to say TCU is his leader at the moment.

If he hopes he's not committed by the spring game....then umm, just don't commit by then..

At most positions, I would agree with you. But QB is just different. Most schools are only taking one guy, and if the dominos start falling the coaches put a lot of pressure on these kids to commit right away.
As a QB, you can't hold off your spot for too long unless you are somebody extra special.

It's probably why they didn't get Devonta Smith and some other people they were after offensively because these guys keep thinking it will be the same ole thing with LSU on offense. Smith didn't buy into what Canada was showing him and probably was thinking it was gonna be the same old same, well, it's not Les Miles' team anymore and so it definitely won't be his type of offense anymore, they'll find that out this new season. TCU won't be doing the things Canada will have LSU doing soon, if he was smart he would just commit to LSU now.

LSU is going to get a good QB or two especially once the season starts and they see this offense in motion, no pun intended.

Let's see if Canada is all he is cracked up to be. The highest profile team he's ever coaches was Pitt. A lot of people see his offense as a gimmick offense. Let's see what he does....I'm excited to see if he's all everybody is making him out to be.

Lmao gimmicky huh.. He's been successful everywhere he's been and if you just watch his offense then imagine that offense with some real players then you would know it's the real deal. Canada has also been to Wisconsin, North Carolina State, and then Pitt which he was very successful at all 3 places. His offense was different at all places and highly effective at all places with not even close to the athletes he is now coaching. I'll say this, if Steve Ensmingers offense was successful then Canada's will be even better. Look at the offensive records LSU set while having just a decent offense. That told me everything I needed to know. Not to mention their new offseason training, him being a QBs coach, and that LSU wasn't even able to implement an entire offense during the season. We'll see but my bet is on Cananda.

Bama troll.....be gone

Depth chart with Narcisse and Brennan just signed....I would be very surprised to see us bring in a top qb. Now with a season of superlative results, the 2019 cycle would be perfect timing!

Was Marshall there with him?

I know it's early in the process but this sounds like he does not intend to commit to LSU. If he did commit to the good guys there would be no problem what-so-ever attending LSU's spring game.

I can see why. If the motion was just to confuse the defense before they can get set, then yes, gimmicky. However, from what I've seen, I think his motion is meant to not only confuse defensive assignments, it exposes the coverage, it creates mismatches, and it disguises different plays with the same looks meant to attack at different points.
** just because someone disagrees or is hesitant about how good of a job someone is doing or going to do, it doesn't mean they're a Bama troll

I think this explains why LSU has had such tough sledding in recruiting top level QBs in the last several yrs...

I would say this sounds like he didn't intend to commit to LSU previously, but now he is actually open to it and considering us. Also, I took the spring game comment as to mean if he wasn't committed to TCU by then, he would like to attend it.

I'm not sure at the moment if Rogers is the only QB tcu is recruiting but,
Hill will be a sr. = odds on favorite.
Muehlstein will be a jr. = Hasn't played a lick.
Wooten will be a soph. = not much count
Kitna will be a soph. = son of John
Hope LSU can sign Rogers but, it appears it may be an easier road to being a starter at tcu.
IMHO

Plus TCU has been better in developing QBs prior to Canada's arrival. We all hope it's a new day in Baton Rouge.

If he commits to us or not, it's good to hear how the offense has changed. If he was impressed, hopefully a lot of other guys we want will feel the same way!!!
