Pretty sweet. Only thing that would make it even better is if they added all the returning seniors.

The billboards say welcome to Death Valley. So you don't think they "earned" their welcome when they picked LSU over all the other schools? Playing times is what they have to earn now but showing them appreciation and saying welcome to the family is something they deserve.

I also think that with a relatively small budget it seems pretty costly to go drop a percentage of your budget on kids that have signed

Everyone in the SEC thst makes a shite outspends us already

I think it just feeds the look at me culture that's taken over in America.


If you want to acknowledge the class fine, wait till it's all signed and then do a sign with all names and say welcome to LSU.

This individual shite is IMO dumb and typical of the narcissist society we live in.

LSU is in process of constructing billboard just outside of IMG Academy with exclusive collegiate advertising rights.

I love the idea. Alabama puts pictures of their EE right at the entrance of Walmart's.

I'm all for it. Recruiting is so competitive and so important these days that every thing you can do to separate yourselves from the competition you have to do it. And I'm guessing this is another example of Austin Thomas' doing his job.

Oregon uses it relationship with Nike to have unique uniforms for each game and they offer it as a selling point to kids. Now LSU is offering something unique without being a gimmick.

I hope they pass several with the recruits that fly in for their visits and have one on the way to their eating destinations.

What's dumb about it? Here in Atlanta, Clemson has bought space all over the city. You think that hasn't paid off from taking talent away from UGA, GT, etc?

Kind of OT but earlier today I saw a Come to LSU billboard in downtown Houston along I-45N...it had a purple color comprising the state of LA with a gold star where BR is.
