Summary:

Team has been doing well. He believes this is the "most fit team" coming back from summer break in his time here at LSU.

The 2014 Recruiting Class had great GPA's coming in. Shows they are great kids overall - in good shape, but realizes they aren't perfect. Recognizes there is a learning curve that comes with the transition from high school to college.

Leonard Fournette: It's sad he has so much pressure coming in. However, he is smart, clean-cut, works hard, trains hard everyday and will be a great tiger.

Highlights how they prevent overheating/cramping by encouraging the players to (at minimum) drink a gallon of water per day, eat well, sleep, and just take care of your body in general.

DT Rundown: Gilmore is in great shape but needs to keep "pads low." Defensive Front is one of the most focused groups we have on the team. Further explains that football is a game of leverage & how he focuses on "force production" and aligning joints therefore they can apply greater force. Moffitt conducts drills that try to teach the players how to most effectively and efficiently apply the most force per play.

D. Hunter vertical jump 38.5-39 inches. Shows he can explode and gain ground on offensive lineman. Ran 21.5 mph this morning (for comparsion the fastest Odell ran in a game was ~21 mph).

He believes this team is one of the best he's ever coached in terms of leadership. They're not just "talkers" but more importantly "do-ers" Recognizes the linebacker core in their leadership efforts.

Malachi Dupre: Vertical 42 inches.
Trey Quinn: Ran 22mph in sprints. Said that Quinn is VERY polished

I would not assume that he is just a slot receiver, he is more than capable of stretching the field vertically. I can see him threatening some safeties deep and clearing things out for others. Our tight ends will be the beneficiaries!

Hunter is a freak and a future high NFL draft pick waiting to happen if he can have a great season. All the measureables, lowest body fat on the team and looks like he could win the Mr. Olympia contest right now!

Very interesting. I've never heard anybody talk about how many mph a person can run, so I dont know how to interpret that.

I'm assuming that 22mph is hella fast.

D. Hunter- 39 inch vertical yesterday. Ran 21.5 mph today using gps tech.

Holy shite.


For perspective, Odell's fastest time was around 22 last year in practice, 21 in a game.

I've seen LF in person very recently and let me just say that his calves are approaching Keiland levels already.

Dupree vertical 42 yest. Quinn running 22 mph and is very very polished.



Those stats on Hunter are freaking scary. I had no idea he was that beastly. Hoping for great season out of him.
Good to hear Quinns name from the coaches too. Seems that he's been overlooked a bit due to the insane talent coming in this year. I get the feeling Quinn is going to be a Jacob Hester type of player, but with much better play making capabilities. Just referring to the leadership, motor, and heart he played with.

If he bags 20+ combined sacks/tfl this year he will be drafted in the top 10 picks in 2015. Won't even need an evaluation. Flip side…if he does this LSU defense will likely be dominant.

Add the fact that he is 6'6 250. He is posed for a hell of a year.

Back in the day, when they ran the 100 yard dash instead of the 100 meters they do now, I believe 9.0 was the world record. That's averaging 11.1 yards/sec or 22.7mph.

Great interview with Moffitt and Booger McFarland who is gonna be on the SEC network seemed very informed. Really enjoyed the new drive in morning show. Jordy Culotta and the Prince are very informed and have some good guests. Great Show.

Where does Mills fit in to all of this? Assuming he doesn't miss any time because his charges are dropped, it will be interesting to see if he's been able to stay in shape without working out with the team.

This is the kind of talk that gets me feeling all rumbly down low

Considering he talked about how focused this year's Dline is, it's not a reach to say Anthony Johnson was a total waste of potential
