re: Who has the tools to keep this WRU train rolling?

Someone has to step up. I have little faith in Lacy. He has a ton of physical tools but has too many drops. If he wants to be successful at LSU he better fall in love with the jugs machine. God bless you, KL, now prove me wrong.

Could be argued that the 2nd half of the season he was almost as productive as Brian Thomas. Not quite on the same level but here are the numbers for the final 6 games from Auburn through A&M (complements of SEC Statcat. Lacy missed Florida so his numbers are over 5 games.

Brian Thomas Jr: 22 catches on 30 targets (73.3%), 435 yards, 6TDs, 19.77 ypc, 2 drops (6.67%). 14.5 yards per target.

Lacy: 15 catches on 20 targets (75%), 294 yards, 5 TDs, 19.6 ypc, 3 drops (15%). Team high (among WRs) 14.7 yards per target.

Clear that Lacy still needs to clean up the drops (15% drop rate). But I'm confident that he will continue to be a solid contributor next year.
