Predicting LSU 2024 Target Ranking {A lot of mouths to feed}
Posted on 8/18/24 at 6:35 pm
Posted on 8/18/24 at 6:35 pm
2023 Rough Recap : 280 rec. And 3800 yards 40 TDs 4 INTS
2024 Projections : 300 rec. And 3500 yards 34 TDs 10 INTs (3-1 TD/INT)
1A. Lacy WR #2. 6’2 215 (Obviously, a long strong dominate explosive receiver, dealt with drops early last year but seemed to have improved as the year progress. Dominant this fall by all accounts. Clear #1 and comfortable with Nuss…
Projected : 60 rec, 1000 yards, 8 TDs
1B. CJ Daniels WR #4. 6’2 205 (going to surprise the casual fan) Strong, physical; 1000 yard, 10 TD receiver at (run-heavy) Liberty with skill that translates. Really good route runner and tough after the catch! Highly coveted transfer portal guy. Capable WR1, role WR2 key contributor
Projected : 50 rec, 800 yards, 5 TDs
3. Mason Taylor TE #86 (6-6 255lbs, Versatile and he is going to be featured in the offense). Projected : 50 Rec, 500 yards, 7 TDs
4. RB J. Williams#27 / J. Emery#22, K. Jackson #28 (Lots of check down, screens, and angle routes) Projected : 45 Rec, 300 yards, 3 Rec TDs
5. Hilton WR #3 6’ 190lbs (Deep threat, elite speed and improved route running and healthy) going to be limited by his role (NOT TALENT) Projected : 25 Rec, 400 yards, 4 TDs
6. Z. Thomas WR/ Returner #0. 5’10 195lbs. ( another guy that on any other team would be a top 2 target. Will probably house a punt at some point this season. And a better receiver than the casual fan understands.
Projected : (if any of the above missed time, triple his projection) 15 Rec. 200 yards, 3 TDs
7. Pimpton #88 (6-6 w/ 7ft. wingspan, 240lbs.) freakish athlete; 12 and 13 personel
8. Green TE#14 (6-7 245lbs) true freshman phenom; Basketball player with all the skills and tons of upside. Combined Projections (Pimpton/ Green) 30 Rec. 250 yards 4 TDs
9. Aaron Anderson WR #1 the alternative to Z. Thomas (2 year removed from major injury… looking much more explosive this season) may get some gadget plays, screens!
10. Sophomore Futures (K. Parker, Sampson) No shortage of talent here but buried by more experienced guys. They will likely both be featured next season.
============
Rushing attack
2023 :
375 rushing attempts, 2659 yards, 36 TDs
34 TDs (including 1134 yards for 10 TDs from QB position)
2024 Projection :
375 Rushes, 2400 yards, 27 TDs from RBs
Josh Williams 5.2 ypa (Not the fastest; balance, vision, blitz pick-up, grinder) and likely 3rd down option) Projected : 90 attempts 25 rec. 450 rushing, 700 total yards 9 TDs
Kaleb Jackson 5.3 ypa (power and speed; Will be a household name in three weeks; SEC is on notice) Projected : 175 attempts 1200+ yards 12 TDs
John Emery 5.3 ypa (Versatile, experienced)
Uber talented; hasn’t stayed healthy. 3-5 touches a game. If healthy, 60 carries 20-25 rec. 400+ yards 4TDs
Caden Durham : True Freshman : speed and agility (5-9 205lbs) 10.25 100 Meter Dash one of the fastest players in Texas Projected: 50 carries, 10 rec. 400 yards) 2 TDs
** Watkins, came in first place with a time of 10.22, while Durham placed 2nd with a 10.48 time. Texas State Track
>>> The most important question on this side of the ball is Nuss’ efficiency. Can he make good decisions and limit turnovers!

I think Hilton's (if healthy) numbers will look closer to Jaylin Hyatt in '22 on a per catch basis.
Hyatt went for 67/1267/15.
Hilton likely won't have that high of a target share, but Nuss LOVES to take deep shots and Hilton is our best deep route guy. Something like 30/570/10 is my expectation for him. Someone who can realistically lead the country in ypc. I genuinely wouldn't be surprised if he has a Randy Moss type game where he goes 3/150/3. He's that fast. There isn't a corner in the country that is keeping up with him if Nuss lets it fly.
Again, that's if he's healthy.
I'm really hoping Pimpton and Green get a decent share of red zone targets. I know the ole goal line fade isn't as effective as crossers/pick plays, but I see a new clip of them high pointing a ball in the end zone every day.

Who would you take TDs from? Or do you think Nuss throws for more than 34 ??

Do not underestimate these two things
1. Nuss loves the deep ball more than just about anything
2. Hilton can fly
Those two things will likely produce a lot more yards for Hilton than anticipated, solely from the high YPC

tl:dr. Why don't we just wait until the games are actually played and then we'll all know.
All of these preseason predictions are so tiresome.
Just watch and enjoy the season.

It's also a fricking message board. This is what gets discussed on message boards. For the future, I hope the mods ban you from any off season discussion, regardless of sport. If the games haven't been played, you don't get any input.

I think Hilton if he stays healthy, he will
be a day two draft pick, however with the emergence of the 3 TEs and Lacy and Daniels the target share may be 3-4 shots per game and connecting on 1-2 deep plays.
If we get the running game going and force single high. You will probably be right.

He could be, but I think it would behoove him to come back and put more on tape. However, as somebody who’s battled injuries most of his career, if he has a nice season and finishes it healthy, I can see him not wanting to risk coming back and getting hurt again.
Sucks he rolled his ankle yesterday. I hope he gets over it quick and it doesn’t linger.

Do you mean dominant?
