I had the chance to be on the field pregame and it was interesting to watch the recruits on the field. One player in particular stood out to me. Several LSU players (including Avery Johnson) were hugging him and talking to him as they walked back into the locker room after warm-ups.

He had dreads that were bleached red on the tips. Looked like a running back maybe? Les Miles also talked to him for the longest by far as he walked by all of the recruits.

ATH Derrick Dillion was there, UF commit, doesnt have an LSU offer

2016 QB Shea Patterson, 2016 DT Ed Alexander and 2016 OT Adrian Ealy were all there

We also had a bunch of commitments there in ATH Dylan Moses, OT Maea Teuhema, RB Derrius Guice, WR Jazz Ferguson, CB Xavier Lewis OG Adrian Magee and WR Stephen Sullivan

South Carolina DT commit Jozie Milton was also there

Notre Dame OT commit Jerry Tillery made his 2nd unofficial to a game this year at LSU, decked out in LSU gear. This one will go down to the wire as Grimes has made him his top priority and parents are on our side.

Probably Dylan Moses.

They're busting their arse trying. And it looks like they've made progress too. At least JT is considering us and it sounds like heavily.

He's a backburner option, hence no offer yet

That's awesome. Told the old man he was probably a huge recruit judging by how he was being treated. Yeah... #1 in the nation.

Good stuff swag, how was the experience at the field level?

Obviously not a quality opponent but ive never been field level, so yeah. I imagine it was a little subdued.

It was a lame environment, before, during, emptied out at Halftime/early 3rd, etc..

Tigerstadium hasn't come alive in 2014 just yet..SEC games will bring the crowds and noise.

It was actually my second time on the field. Funny thing is that my dad gets to go on the field about once a year because he gives a ton of money to the school, but I actually managed to get on the field and into the game without a ticket for Auburn a few years ago, so I like to give him a hard time.

We saw the new locker room, which was awesome. Funny thing is that it really wasn't high security or anything. It was definitely possible to have a Michael Jordan situation, where a jersey is taken from the locker room.

On the field, I was really impressed by the zip that Jennings gets on the ball with very little effort. He was throwing with Kragthorpe, and the talent gap is more than obvious. Another thing I noticed was that White has terrible hands (at least what I saw). Dude dropped at least two easy catches in warm-ups. I'm surprised that he returns punts.

Les Miles was wearing his NC ring. I wonder if he always wears that or just for the recruits. I also had no idea that both Justin Vincent and Rahim Alem are on the staff. I grew up a huge LSU fan, so I still remember/recognize just about anyone.

We saw the football operations building, and I was pretty underwhelmed by the building itself. Les Miles has tons of really cool stuff posted on walls. Cool charts, quotes, etc. And the position rooms are really cool with achievements of past players of the same position on the walls.

The player's lounge was pathetic though. Guy said that "a previous coach" was all business and didn't want a big lounge when the building was built nine years ago. Hmmm...

They did say that they are going to blow out the walls of the building soon, and that there will be a big player lounge.

Last thing. They showed us the video that they show recruits. Holy shite. It was fricking awesome. I was ready to play for LSU after watching that thing. They were very clear not to record while it played. I think they like the element of surprise for the players.

He wears it every time you see him on TV for sure. He has it on every game and you will always see it if he is on ESPN or something.
