Any news on Aggie visitors thoughts on the game?

Rickey Seals-Jones is a very high priority for our offense. Having a big wr would be great for the red zone and fade routes.

I wonder which offense he saw himself fitting into more

There was a commitment from LSU's side to throw the ball a lot - because the execution was not there doesn't negate the fact that they did make those playcalls.
There is also the question of
1. Which offense would make him the primary receiver because they need him more.
2. Which team is playing with better supporting cast.
3. Which team plays for titles(rings and blings do matter for young men)

what you should really ask is which team will put him on display often enough to make him a 1st round draft choice in the nfl. and if he doesn't switch over to running back, it won't be lsu.

Great input. Glad it's cleared up. I'll let all of the scouting services know.

Its not like the aggies put out top tier WR's. They had tannehill and still couldnt get 6'5 reciever Fuller enough touches.

ESPN Insider -RSJ on A&M Visit
quote:
"They're always going to come to fight," he said. "LSU got Johnny [Manziel] out of his game and instead of rushing the [defensive] ends, they kind of sat them. They made that adjustment after the first quarter, and it showed that their coaching staff was on top of everything and that their coaching staff is watching out for everything. Each team played a great game."
And while Sumlin and McKinney had their chance to chat with the four-star receiver on Saturday, LSU made sure to follow up on Monday. Tigers special teams coordinator Thomas McGaughey, who has been recruiting Seals-Jones for the Tigers, made a stop by Sealy to chat with the No. 10 player in the 2013 class.
"It was great," Seals-Jones said. "We chatted it up with our head coach [Sealy head coach Jimmie Mitchell] and we just talked about coming to Baton Rouge and checking out their game against Alabama. He said it's something like Kyle Field but maybe a little bit better. So I want to go out there and see how it is."
Seals-Jones still plans on visiting Death Valley for the LSU-Alabama showdown on Nov. 3 so he can compare the experience to the one he had at Kyle Field on Saturday. "I just want to go out there and check it out for myself," he said. "[McGaughey] said they're kind of missing a go-to-guy and they really want me and are recruiting me hard so I just want to go see how I like their atmosphere and their stadium and see how it goes."
Did this weekend's trip to Texas A&M affect his feelings on the two schools? "Maybe a little bit, yeah," Seals-Jones said. "Each team has me thinking a little bit harder about where I want to go."
After his trip to LSU, Seals-Jones said he'll talk with his family about making a decision.
"After I make that trip, I'll sit down, talk to my parents and I'll probably make a decision, probably after football season," he said.

never underestimate what a death valley experience on a saturday night can do to a recruit

Story sounds positive for us.

Can't help but feel good about it. Tiger Stadium will be rocking, obviously, so that's in our favor. The coaches are selling him on how badly we need a go-to reciever, so if the offense comes out flat he just gets to see first hand how much he can help. If we win, even better.

Mac won't let LSU lose RSJ

I'd honestly say he's our biggest need currently. Can't tell you how many times I've seen our WRs get bitched on routes this year. Not only do their hands suck but contact in the secondary is something you can easily get away with in NCAA. If the ball isn't in the air and you're not tackling the WR, you can make contact all day.
Our WRs look slow and never open because they can't run crisp routes. It's not their speed, they just keep getting knocked off whatever route they run.
We need RSJ bad. We have Leslie and possibly Avery Johnson but I'm not sure they're the "big" WR we're looking for. We have no idea how they'll turn out. Quite honestly, I wish LSU would stop recruiting the smaller WRs unless they plan to use them in the slow more. We've never had success with smaller guys and traditionally, we've always had big WRs who could go up for the ball or help a QB with accuracy problems with his long arms/body. Must've been Billy Gonzales infatuation with small, fast WRs is why we're seeing too many on the roster currently...thanks Billy G. for trying to make this Florida's offense under Miles.
We're a power offense but we lack a big WR. Doesn't make sense. Same goes for blocking on the perimeter. Although, Landry is a very good blocking WR.

I hear what you are saying about small wrs. which one of our wrs would you not have recruited coming out of h.s. shep, obj, landry, (boone, wright last minute replacements for hunter, davis). we have to take the best players in the state. so in 2014 we will ABSOLUTELY take Noil, Quinn. can't stop taking small wrs.

This is the only part I can't agree with. Odell's sucess last year was mostly due to Randle taking the heat off him. The speedy guys are great as long as we have that one last piece to the puzzle. Someone brought it up on the rant, none of these guys where supposed to be #1 recievers, we've just missed on those big primaries lately as a consequence of our running game being the feature over the last few years.

If I am RSJ, I see an LSU team that I can start for immediately, since I will pretty much be the best big WR the minute I step foot on campus.
I also see an LSU team that is bringing in two top 100 QB's in my class.

I think it was Billy G's infatuation with not recruiting for shite
