LSU football coach Ed Orgeron is a happy camper

LSU football coach Ed Orgeron said summer camps are the most vital evaluation element in recruiting.
A few tidbits from the article:
LSU football coach Ed Orgeron is a happy camper
A few tidbits from the article:
quote:
Orgeron is having a blast, patting the behemoths on the helmet or rear end and simultaneously offering congrats and motivation.
One minute, he's watching Kardell Thomas and Anthony Bradford, two of his prized Class of 2019 offensive line commitments, drive pass rushers into the ground.
"Let's go, Kardell, nice job, Anthony!" Orgeron growled above the whistle blowing a play dead
Then in a blink, he's huddled with two defensive linemen, successfully designing a twist to confuse Thomas and Bradford.
quote:
Yet, he still walks to every position station, both on the outdoor and indoor practice fields. He shakes hands with parents and high school coaches, whether they are involved with legit prospects that the Tigers are recruiting or not.
There are some head coaches who will admit privately that camps are necessary evils in recruiting.
Orgeron is a recruiting fanatic who can't get enough of camps, because it's the biggest piece of the recruiting puzzle.
quote:
"I love camps, I've always loved camps, coaching kids and teaching them new things that they haven't been taught before," Orgeron said. "Having a kid standing in front of me is different than watching him on tape. This is the most important evaluation to me."
Coaches know by watching videotape whether a player is a legit prospect. But inviting him to camp and getting him to attend (for which the prospect pays a registration fee) is vital.
"I tell our coaches," Orgeron said, "that 'if you can't recruit a kid to come to our camp, how are you going to sign him?' I've very rarely signed someone who I haven't put my eyes on in person."
Most of the time, tape doesn't lie about a prospect. But camps take recruiting evaluations several steps further.
quote:
"I had a 7 o'clock (coaches) meeting this morning to go over all the guys here who have committed," Orgeron said. "This camp is like a Super Bowl for us. This sets our recruiting board going into the season."

Laugh all you want, he may not be the best coach but he sure as hell can recruit. Have you been blind the last 20 years following recruiting? And now he has the 6 class with two kickers too boot and some of our top dogs left to land. You must be a miserable f’er watching all this talent he is bringing in

Not to mention taking the campers money to attend, so he can pay his secretary, Derek’s salary.

O absolutely can and does recruit well. As of now this is a top ten class and is only supposed to get better. There'll be a few pieces of shite in this thread badmouthing O's recruiting methods or whiffing on a recruit or some other excuse to bitch but other posters are starting to see them as general shitstains.

It was a joke, you imbecile. Jesus, you blowhards have no sense of humor.

What is even more impressive about this class is that he is even getting it done after the Troy/State debacle. The man can sell, give him that
