No problem at all man. We love to see great success come to people like you who give a d*mn about education and raising a young man. Keep doing what you're doing and I'm sure some good things will come out of you reaching out to LSU, Tiger Droppings, and the fan base.

He could be a very good WR

Good luck to your son

Just my opinion. He has the frame and hands to be very talented, would just like to see more break away speed.
Good coaching and evals aren't only positive reporting. Still excellent tools to work with, just not the finished product

Feels like he's a huge sleeper pickup

I live in Northern VA and Holland is well thought of in these parts. The word people use to describe him is "physical". That's different than most high school athletes in his position who you often hear have the potential to be physical. He already is. And Briar Woods is one of the best high school in the state academically.
I have to believe that our offensive coaches are going to show him a lot of love. Holland seems like a perfect fit for the NFL style offense we run and hes going to continue to improve as he hasn't been at the position long. Imagine him after a year under Adam Henry.

I think someone will be happy with him. I imagine his name will start popping up more over the next few weeks.

Hate to think he blows up and LSU didn't pull the trigger when they could have

Best of luck to your son. I hope we can put him in the class - he pops on tape.
You both seem like people quality people I'd really like to have in and around the program. I think you trying to get your son noticed is commendable.
Hope he's a Tiger!

I saw the other thread. Is there anything to suggest that LSU has any interest or that he is on LSU's radar?
Has he gone to any camps or visited or anything like that? What's his connection to LSU?
TIA

Good on you.

Write up in a NOLA articles a few days back stating we had interest. As far as anything else, I have nothing more

In five postseason games he hauled in 31 receptions for 542 receiving yards and seven touchdowns.

They really need to get him. 547 yards 7 TDs in 5 playoff games, that is sick.
Love that he is physically ready (strong WR) and has incredible speed and soft hands. We need to go full torpedoes

If he doesn't end up at LSU, I hope he takes the USNA offer.
