Chase is big and physical with good speed.
Better body for the next level.

Watkins wow. Those highlights were phenomenal.
Great field vision, great cut ability and his break away speed just wow.

I was leaning Chase but now either one and I would be stoked to get Watkins.

They don’t throw the ball enough to warrart need for Chase another 5 Star WR coming from the same mold. He will transfer like T. Johnson, Diarse

A guy who's committed 4 times and went to 3 high schools is pretty likely to transfer too.

LSU has Landry and Beckham on the team with Hill

They all had 1k yards in the same season

Watkins. Can’t teach that. More than just speed.

LSU has six or so blue chips on their list with only four spots avaialable. If you leave any one of the six out, you could make a case he might be better than the one you take.

No matter what four they take, there will be threads lamenting the ones left off. Goes with the territory.

I tried to tell y'all, but....

As I said earlier Chase is the better WR right now because he is a pure WR that catches well, runs routes well and is technically sound. But Watkins is a much better playmaker with the ball in his hands, and he can become a WR because his hands are that good. He would be in the slot all the way because you just want to get the ball to him whether it's from the halfback position or in the slot because he makes plays and runs away from people. If LSU has a way to take both they def should.

shite, someone made a comment about the level of competition that Watkins was playing against to stupidly try and downplay the kid's talent, hell, I would argue that Florida is the one state where the football level is much better than LA .

First to choose. Both are all over the place with their commitments. People dismissing Watkins immediately are idiots.

Maybe Watkins made the mistake by de-committing?

That was me stupidly questioning Watkins level of competition... my qualifier. I guess it's stupid to ask a question around here... you know, because I'm unfamiliar with his competition while I'm not Rummel. I'll venture it's stupid not to question, but hey... this tigerdroppings.

Were losing So much on offense i say take Watkins & Chase. Unless you know both DJax & KT2 are declaring. Watkins is special, keep him away from bama or he'll hurt us starting next year.

As it pertains to receiver Chase and Marshall can compliment each other. Watkins is your prototypical slot,return man and jet sweeps. So it's depends on what OC we'll get if Canada leave.

Happy New Years all! I appreciate all of you who have responded to this thread rationally without cutting me down. There is a slight misunderstand which I did not communicate well enough. I am not arguing that Watkins is better than Chase, I am just saying if it is true that he wants in the we take him on Jan 4th and do not risk coming up empty handed on both Chase and Watkins. I just feel it is the less risky proposition considering he few spots available and waiting for all 4 slots on Feb 7 is sort of risky. Yes both Chase and Watkins have had flaky recruitments and gone back and fourth, so I feel that if one is willing to come full circle and get back
In let’s take him and call it a day at WR.
It is still possible we could fit
chase I’m on Feb 7 as well depending on how other chips fall and chances are between one of the 3 DBs LSU is going after, one of hem could fall through in which case we bring on Chase for sure. It’s just a game of odds and chess here and my personal move would be to let Watkins in on Jan 4th and then go from there as I do not feel Chase is a sure thing. That said, if given the choice I definitely think Chase is better option. It’s just not that simple.

bet Jamarr loves getting on TD to see if there's any threads about him and he sees one saying that we should take Watkins over him and that if he does come here he will end up transferring. Bold move.


You clowns really really need to get a grip if you think recruits come here and give any fricks about what you say....my God

I agree with almost everything you mentioned OP. It sucks bc he is going to kill it at Bama. Watkins can flat out ball. Taking the kicker really hurt us with the hard limit of 25. Watkins was all LSU until we got into the number crunch. I just trust the staff and hope this means that they feel really good about Chase. If we miss out on both, that would be terrible!

Serious question and you may know for sure but how do you know for sure.

Is this coming from the staff or rumor
