I'm pumped for him to be looking at us again now that FSU is out. He and Curne could start day 1. I believe at one time we were #2 for him, and that he really liked Davis. Give him his NIL plus Harper's. Anybody know anything more?

LSU & UF are pushing. Florida also looks like they’re going to flip a 5*WR from Oregon.

I don’t know about “about to” but they’re pushing and his teammate just committed there.

Speaking of WRs, is Hankton EVER going to bring in a star WR? Every contributing WR this year is a transfer, thats a problem. This is his fourth class and he's brought in noone special and looks 50/50 on losing Meadows. How do you go 4 classes at LSU without a star at WR, FFS we have the best QB prospect in years committed, what else does he need?

Edit: someone said he arrived in January of 2022 so this class would be his 3rd. I don't believe it changes my point. This class he only has 3 commits, I haven't seen anyone else on the radar, and his highest commit by a good bit is Meadows and there's been alot of talk about him flipping to ND. This is with the added benefit of the best QB recruit in years, for me that's inexcusable

Hankton was not very well liked at UGA. He did bring in Pickens and Burton, but both were head cases. Burton transferred to Alabama. It seemed he could never develop any of the others he brought in.

Our receivers remind me so much of UGAs receivers during his time there. No separation and seemed to regress every year under him.

I'm counting this class cause it signs in 2 weeks. This could be his worst, if Meadows leaves he could only sign 2 WRs this year WITH the best QB in years, we have to make a change this year

I dont think Meadows is a five, im pretty sure he'd be his highest rated commit here, but it sounds like he's going to lose him to ND. Can you argue with the fact that EVERY contributing WR this year is a transfer? That's literally all I'm interested in

No. They're putting the money they had earmarked on Napier's buyout into recruiting.

It's his fourth class and he's brought in noone special and looks 50/50 on losing Meadows. How do you go 4 classes at LSU without a single legitimate star at WR, FFS we have the best QB prospect in multiple classes committed, what else does he need?
1. It's only been 3 classes (this is the 3rd).

2.Jalen Brown #79 overall player 2023
Shelton Sampson #80 overall player 2023
Kylin Billiot #101 overall player 2024
Jelani Watkins #216 overall player 2024

3. So you're full of shite. The problem is Jalen Brown ran away after a year, Sampson has not been able to break out (despite obviously having the physical talent), Watkins was a split track guy so he wasn't fully a receiver, so raw. Billiot is also a raw prospect, but has the physical talent and beating every guy in one on ones at camps. Both of them are true freshman.

In his now 3rd year recruiting for us, he's gotten at least one top 100 player at receiver every year. You have to stop stupidly thinking every freshman WR will be Jeremiah Smith or Ryan Williams. LSU got transfers for that exact reason, however Anderson should have initally been here anyway, so it's kinda hard for me to even consider him.

Where were you last year when we had potentially two Belithnekof winners who nobody imagined being that good?

Watkins hurt, 5 star who hasn't done enough to play, Hilton fragile, Lacy too busy trying to slide on the opps and dance vs catching, Thomas not a deep threat, and a QB who is a deer in headlights not able to step up in the pocket to get any WR the ball consistently.

Man Child and Phillips will surprise someone like you with a year in. We can still flip someone or get a transfer.

Why is recruiting board much more civilized, positive, and supportive like what real fans are supposed to be but the Rant is terrible. Aren't they the same people posting?

frick you, how about that. The class that signs in 2 weeks is his 4th. He has just 3 commits and is 50/50 on losing his top one with nobody to replace him if he does leave. All that bullshite you said doesn't mean shite because not ONE of his recruits plays this year, every one that's on the field is a transfer. Argue with that, like that other guy said he was a below average recruiter who's receivers underperformed because they couldn't get open. Sounds familiar to me
