Possibly one of the biggest recruits the Tigers have ever got.
I'm excited for the kid too but pump your brakes. He'd be like the 3rd highest rated recruit in this class.

That was pre-NIL. Promising a Charger doesn't have the same impact as it once did.


This will also be their 2nd season in a row without a title and 2nd out of the last 4 seasons not in the playoffs. I know most programs would still kill for that track record, but the fact is other programs have gained on them and even passed them up. There is absolutely no doubt that UGA has the edge on Bama today.

No, it’s gigantic

If we beat Alabama for a top DB, that’s huge. If we beat Napier and Raymond for a top DB, that’s huge. A guy based in Florida too.

It’s huge for the narrative around LSU and Brian Kelly.

The difference now is you can get a Charger anywhere. But only in Baton Rouge can you shut down the interstate and do burnouts for street cred, or get that fade or them braids touched up on the Horace Wilkinson, overlooking both the mighty Mississipp' and Tiger Stadium.

*** Linking, not liking. And it’s tongue in cheek.

And trust me on this, mad respect for everyone who put in Ricks picks after the Bama win. I suffer from serious 5-for-5 PTSD. Very tough thing to overcome!

Hope everyone has a fun Signing Day week!

Man not this again. There’s no sense in getting excited over the kid until he signs the paper. We’ve seen this year after year after year where some “insider” says “LSU LOCK! BOOK IT!” and some 5* signs somewhere else.

On3 has Heard, Womack and Sampson all above him
247 has Heard and Womack above him
Rivals would have him as the top player


So I guess it depends on where you want to look. Not really comparable to Patrick Peterson, Leonard Fournette, Derek Stingley or Harold Perkins

If the kid goes on to be a 2 time all American and Thorpe winner I will gladly say I was wrong

Lol with or without Ricks the narrative doesn't change. Harold Perkins was such a bigger recruit it's not even close.

I hope Ricks kills it but one of the biggest in lsu history? Lol ok Johnny come lately

That's probably a bit much when you consider LSU signed guys like Fournette, Stingley, Peterson. Hell, even Perkins. ALL of whom were much higher rated. It would be a great get at a position of extreme need. But one of the biggest every? Probably not.


"One of the biggest"

Nothing you posted contradicts this.

His .9889 rating puts him at No. 28 all-time, just below Kayshon Boutte.

I believe Top 30 all-time (which really means in the last 30 years) qualifies as "one of the biggest recruits ever"


Edit: Looks like the ratings go back to 2001, so the last 22 years.

He said that? Was it an article?


Twatts had a thread on BOL last night with his update which included his update on Desmond ricks and further down in the comments t Watts stated that he didn't feel and bama didn't feel that Rick's should have been considered elite and that he was overrated. That's what the other poster is referring to. And I tend to agree that once the bama staff starts poo pooing a recruits it's so that there's subscribers are let down a little easier. Because they are so emotional over there

Player doesn't sign with bama, player sucks and can't play there

Player signs or commits to bama, bump him to a 5* or high 4*.

Tale as old as time. Just another reason everyone despises those arrogant bastards.
