Saw it in person today but re-watching the game on the app right now and this man is going to be unstoppable. The way he plays reminds me of a nose tackle version of Arden Key. He can lose some weight and get quicker but he's already quick at 350 with excellent hand placement and technique while being strong as a bull.

He's going to be better than Sopsher.

inb4 don't start a thread for every thought blah blah blah

Dude is going to be starting at NT as a freshman and dominating. Believe it.

Everybody loved the Ika pickup when it happened, but you can rightfully complain about the lack of DL in our 2019 class. People only complained about the Sopsher deal because we lost another highly talented guy from Louisiana at a position of need.

I didn't say that they didn't like Ika. I'm saying that posters on this board used sophser to beat O over the head with. I would imagine that O wasn't blindsided by sophser choosing bama.

2020 is shaping up to be DL heavy. People thinking that O is somehow neglecting the DL are fooling themselves. He's also not above getting a grad transfer or juco guy. People were just looking for a reason to bash O.

He definitely looked better than Shelvin who got zero push all game.

...1st off he wasn’t coming to LSU..he played the coaching staff and 2nd I’m not impressed with him..he pretty much plays 1 quarter out of 4 ... he went to Bama and got a Dodge Charger... that’s going to probably be his highlight of his football career....

Shelvin was going against the 1s and was definitely eating up blockers

If accurate, this is really good news.
We’ve failed with Valentine ( two years), Livingston, Sophsher and, until now, Shelvin.
This is a big deal
Let’s hope Shelvin continues to improve, too.
