Sage Ryan encouraging

If you get a hold of the videos of practice, Sage looked good and is a major player in the highlights. I know it’s “PRACTICE “ but still it’s great to see him 100% healthy and the talent he has wasn’t overrated. I believe and hope he can put it all together this year. He came in with Elite talent and high expectations but hasn’t lived up to the hype yet, I think we’ll see big things from him this year. He’s been dogged out some on the rant and rightfully so. This year I think Sage shows what was expected of him early. He was hurt freshman year and under the tutelage of O and staff, last year played good in spots and bad in others. Don’t give up on Ryan yet I believe he makes a difference this year under the Kelly Regime.

I think he'll have a solid season.

I hope he does great, he's been servicable, but you really can't tell how somebody is going to be from 1 level to the next until they are out there playing against elite competition.
Also some of these guys make strides later on in their careers, like CBK says, these guys have to come to practice, not to win their 1 on 1's but to compete and elevate their play and mindset everyday to that of an elite player.
We are really going to need him this year after the mass exodius of the DB group!

Kid was average his underclassman years and people shite on him. You think they would have learned their lesson with Damone Clark but rantards love to give up too early on a kid because of fake internet stars

Hes played nickel or dime, and like you mentioned, has been banged up. He's isn't a true cb... we've just been extremely thin at cb his first 2 years. We've been deep at safety, so he's helped fill our biggest need. Even a lot of the moss'd moments he's had against him, we're just great plays by the offense. At some point luck will turn if he continues to be in good positions. Rooting for him

I've always thought most of the criticism he received was unwarranted.
Posted on 3/14/23 at 9:32 am to Sissidog02
I hope he’s on the Ron Brooks or Dwayne Thomas trajectory. As he gets older, his play on the back end gets more valuable.
Posted on 3/14/23 at 9:32 am to Sissidog02
He was playing 1 on 1 coverage on players he shouldn’t have been on, but he wasn’t getting burnt. Was in great positions to make a play, just didn’t finish.
The hate he gets is unwarranted

hope the light turns on but he hasn't been good seems like he has the talent just needs to put it together
Posted on 3/14/23 at 9:37 am to Sissidog02
The next play he makes, will be his first
Posted on 3/14/23 at 9:41 am to Sissidog02
He just wasn’t an immediate impact guy. But he is around the hall a lot, that usually bodes well for some future success
Posted on 3/14/23 at 9:45 am to Sissidog02
Sage’s biggest issue is his size. He’s usually in the right place, but any receiver with any size at all can dominate him. God forbid he gets matched up on a TE. He’s listed at 5’11, but is probably more like 5’8-5’9”.
I appreciate that he has stuck it out through the bad times, but he was never the 5* he was rated as.

I’ll say this, Sage Ryan hasn’t been great but he has been closer to good than people give him credit for.
He’s shown he can keep up with players but he hasn’t made plays on the ball, but if he can get to the point where he’s getting his head around and breaking up passes he can be good.

I haven't seen hate.
But a lot of people have noted that he has performed nowhere near the hype. (And no, not every underclassman underperformer is a Damone Clark. )
Sage's signing was accompanied by press that he was a five star, top safety in the country and No. 2 player in La.
Everybody hopes he improves, but i cannot think of any plays so far that reflect that sort of talent / potential.

Well maybe don’t rank him a 5 star then.
Bc when you are a 5 star and see the field early, you should look a lot better than he did.
Criticism is a part of life and only make you stronger

Lol has zero to do with his size
Posted on 3/14/23 at 10:01 am to Sissidog02
I hope he can ball out this year

He gets Moss’d on a regular basis when he plays. Not sure what LSU football you’ve been watching

I think it should be applauded that the guy is still here. How many 5*s in today's college football make it to their upperclassman years when they have a 5* ranking but don't get the immediate playing time and fans start shitting on them. Well done for sticking it out, Sage! Hoping for a great year!
