It's not often that a wide receiver with 2 career catches to his credit is considered a huge pickup but that's exactly the magnitude that you have to take it to when talking about Dee Anderson's verbal pledge to LSU on Thursday. As a sophomore, Anderson was still developing and getting limited varsity reps. This offseason he has exploded onto the scene and dominated in every setting.

We had a chance to see Anderson at LSU's elite camp and he showed off the best ball skills in attendance, great body control and elite length and catch radius. Already ranked No. 88 nationally for the class of 2016 on 247Sports, Anderson would be even higher if he had a body of work on film to go with his body of work this offseason. If he can put the kind of season together to match his 7on7 and 1on1 production this fall, Anderson has five-star potential.

The pickup for LSU is even more impressive when you consider that he'll be paired with the 6-6, 200-pound wide receiver Stephen Sullivan in Baton Rouge. Between Sullivan and Anderson, 6-4+ height and an 80-inch wing-span is the standard for LSU's 2016 wide receiver class. That's music to the ears of top100 quarterback commit Feleipe Franks.

The passing game of the future is off to a good start for the Tigers.

“I committed to LSU because it was the perfect fit for me,” Anderson told 247Sports Recruiting Insider Justin Hopkins. “From the offense to the way they use receivers to the engineering program. It was a great fit.”

The 6-foot-4, 177-pounder from West Mesquite (Texas) Mesquite picked up an offer from the Tigers at the July Camp and he also had offers from Tennessee, UCLA, Wake Forest, Washington, and several others.

“Georgia was the biggest threat but I’m a Tiger,” said Anderson. “I love LSU.”
