Good read from 247 poster.. Non VIP so I'll post.. SIAP.. Hope this is allowed

This guy is extremely excited. He has not always been. Not your typical "sunshine pumper". He is not a big Miles fan, but he absolutely think Miles did everything he could do to make this a great team with his hiring of the new coaches. He thinks this group of coaches has great chemistry. So much hands on teaching compared to prior years...

(1) He can't get over how much bigger Harris is compared to when he first showed up. He says he has a lower body like a SEC RB. He says he looks good. Not great, but good. He says he is perfect QB with talent we got. He won't lose a game for us. This guy was not a Harris fan before this year. He is now. He has the weapons around to be a good SEC QB.

(2) LF7 will be back. Pure precaution. He says others look good. He thinks Guice/Williams are good back-ups, but not on same plain as LF7. Before LF7 got hurt, he looked better than last.

(3) Chark is best looking WR on team and it is not close. He says the freshman ALL look great. He can't get over the size of ALL our receivers. Craig apparently likes big WRs in this offense. Not saying TD or MD aren't doing well, but he just says Chark has "it". He says the TE from Isodore Newman is a beast. Put on a bunch of good weight. He is looking great. Great hands as well. Lots of plays in practice with TE catching the ball.

(4) He says if T Valentine does not start, it will not be because a lack of talent. They can't block him. Nobody. He, in just a few practices, is unblockable. He says very strong with great first step. His only fear is that Miles may hold him back, but he says O and Arranda are making it obvious that TV is who they want.

(5) Key looks great as well. He feels Key will thrive with Arranda and his new D. He says Big Frank H is not someone to sleep on. He says while O has done a good job, the talent is unbelievable. Particularly in middle (Beckwith, Fresman from North Webster, Valentine, and Godchaux. He thinks LSU O has already faced their best D. That D being LSU.

(6) Speaking of Arranda, players absolutely love him. They love him and O, but they are both very different, but both very hands on in there own way. Very hands on. D will be very aggressive. He says no weak like link in this D. Yes we are DBU, but if we stay healthy (No more injuries) we will be great with 11 on field.

(7) OL taking shape, but he says MT will be needed. Still not 100%. He says OL will be a lot better than last year. I was suprised to hear him say this as losing Hawkins and Vadal. He really likes Grimes. He says this is the most important area for team to stay healthy going forward.

(8) He says multiple Freshman will "start" on D this year. He says the front 7-8 will be more like a front 11-12 with multiple rotations. Don't know who, but he says it is not because of lack of players, but 2-3 Freshman are just that good.

(9) He says that Adams is without a doubt the defensive leader on this team. He think Raymond has 8 DBs that would start tomorrow on most teams.
I don't think this helps as it sounds like a lot of what has been said already, but at least adds some credibility to support.

I got pumped hearing this from him. He says the only one who will beat LSU is LSU and that would be injury bug.

This will definitely be the most physically impressive looking team we have had in awhile.

I know that the author of that article does not post here under the td handle Lacour.

I like how his friend referred to the freshmen by their schools and not names

Great stuff!

Dandy Don stated when media got kicked out, TEs were going deep. They were also working on crossing routes passing from under center...
