Has Shelton Sampson become the most important player in this class?

I understand there are obviously bigger needs at Corner, Oline and LBer than WR but could we possibly get swept and not sign one top 5 player in state? Even worse if Ausberry leaves you'll have 6 instate top 100 players that don't play for you.

Seems like Shelton is a must land.

That’s the thing. It’s sounding like a broken record now. All of the LA guys in the top ten are must lands. We were told guys like Williams and Curtis were going to be focused on by BK’s staff. That we were “making up ground” in their recruitment. Same thing with Jordan Matthews right now.

I still think Shelton absolutely comes to LSU but, what if A&M decides they want him? What if UGA’s boosters decided to drop 7-figures on the kid? Are we really saving up our NIL money for him? I have dwindling confidence about LSU signing top-100 guys. They just don’t have the money to throw around like these other programs to get a top-5 class

No reason to panic yet. This is year one of Kelly. This tends to happen with coaching changes.

Both.... Sampson and Heard are the top guys to recruit for the class, imo.

You guys better quickly realize in the current state of college football with NIL, kids give two shits about playing for their home team. That ship has sailed. Oh you might get one or two that playing for their home team matters, but that’s about it.

I repeat what many have said, NIL has ruined college athletics. It is what it is. Either get on board or get off until the rules are changed. This is a major cluster frick with this pandoras box that was opened. Good luck getting this under control.

Remember when LSU fans melted because Hootie Jones went to Bama and LSU had to settle for a guy named Jamal Adams?

No a WR will not be the most important player in any class unless he is Randy Moss clone. DL or OL or QB that is the positions we struggle to keep up with the big dogs.
