Ed Orgeron's energy making an impact on LSU's recruiting

“It really started all the first week he took over. All the commits had a group chat and we talked about this. Obviously it was tough seeing Les [Miles] and Cam [Cameron] get fired,” Brennan said. “Especially as a recruit, those were the two big guys in the LSU program. But Coach O just kind of took over and filled some really big shoes. As recruit when you see him win three straight games, two of which were in the SEC, that’s pretty big for a guy coming in and doing that. We’ve been to the games as a recruiting class and you just see the change. You can feel the energy level change. I feel like Coach O brings a lot more energy and is a lot more enthusiastic.

“He interacts more with the players in the locker room. He’s yelling and getting them fired up and I feel like that carries over on to the field. I didn’t see that before. I wouldn’t say it was quiet in the locker room, but I didn’t feel like there was much interaction between coach Les and the players. It was kind of like, they ran off the field and they just did what they did. I feel like it’s just been great the last three weeks and there’s another big test this week. I’m just excited to get down there and just be in an environment that I’ve never been in before and hopefully we’ll get the outcome we want.”

“Obviously at the beginning there was talk of Jimbo [Fisher] and Tom Herman but things have kind of died down as the weeks have progressed and as LSU kept winning. I feel like as a recruiting class and guys that have come down on visits, we’d be just fine with Coach O taking over. I just feel like having the same staff, you know, they’ve been together for many years now, so I feel like that would be a good thing. Just build from there instead of someone starting at ground level and working their way up.”
