How on gods green earth could the previous staff have been recruiting that high school for the last 3 years and not have identified and recruited Weeks?

This is a huge indictment on the last staff. So glad we got him now. And super excited we got Arcement as well. I’m over the mind set of recruiting basic five stars. I want the talent that jumps off the tape.

He had an offer from only two top 25 teams. (Ole Miss & Kentucky)

I think you need to relax.

He’s a good pick up. It’s a huge position of need.

Glad lsu got him but how good is he? Stats? What star receiver? How many games played? They really needed help, needed some back up and experience.

I’m no expert but the reason the guys are 5 stars is because… they.. jump off the tape

Sometimes, yes it’s obvious. Jamar chase wasn’t a 5-star but you watched his tape and you could tell.

Other times, Ishmael sophser and Kardell Thomas don’t look great in camp videos. But, they have huge frames and dominate smaller players so they maintain their five star status.

You retards watch 6:00 of highlights with shitty rap music and think you’re some sort of Payton Manning when it comes to ‘watching film’



That’s always cracked me up about this place, not just referring to this specific player or the OP

Because he is white. Weeks is a speed guy and welter well wasn’t. Congrats on showing ignorance.

Not at all. Weeks doesn’t lack athleticism. He’s just raw and needs coaching.

Weeks runs a 4.4. The sky is the limit.

Ryan Baker is a good comparison.

DJ welter would have been the best linebacker on the team the last two years. Time to give him a break… good ball player and guy.

DJ Welter was better than 2021 Damone Clark? Hot take!

5 stars jump off the tape pretty consistently. That's why they are 5 stars.

You can't win recruiting like you are suggesting. Just at the NC game last week.

As much as I agree with you much of the top talent has been bought and paid for this cycle? LSU has to try to field a team that will be somewhat competitive to be able to sell recruits on LSU ! Then you need money to buy some of the bigger names!

Because they physically mature earlier. The issue with top talent in HS, they may have peaked.

Never give up on a tweener who has heart.
