Got to get them the ball in space, I understand the talent we have on the outside, but these two proved last year what they can do. Jets Sweeps, Shallow crossers, or even line them up in the backfield and do some of the routes Clyde used to run. Make our opponents defend the whole field and be able to get the ball out quick with our unproven Oline.

You may have forgotten but I promise you the coaches have not.

Who has forgotten Aaron Anderson? Isn’t he the WR1?

It appears Brown may be just as fast or faster. Anderson caught twice as many balls as Zay last year

Zavion is so underrated. Ridiculous agility and actually a physically strong runner.

No one has forgotten AA. I think it’s more that Barion is on another level. Nic has the potential to be as well

I think Thomas was underused last year. But then again, who was he supposed to take targets from? Lacy? Taylor? Anderson? While I guess you could have said Daniels, it's not like he was bad at LSU either.

He should have played rb. Coaches should have moved him to rb. He has better instincts than Kaleb Jackson.

I just hope Hill, Parker and Francis are patient in the transfer portal era because they may not see as much time as they want but LSU will lose several WR's after this season

If Hill has a big year, he can go pro. LSU will lose a ton at wr after the season. Francis will get plenty of reps. I think he cements himself as the number 1 wr going into 26.

Where is Watkins ? Will he be just another track guy who didn't pan out ? One could surmise if BK saw something in him last season, he wouldn't have felt the need to load up on wr.

Aaron is your WR1, plain and simple. As of right now, your wide out spots are

X: Barion Brown & Chris Hilton

Z: Nic Anderson, Zavion Thomas, & Destyn Hill

Slot: Aaron Anderson & Kyle Parker

Barion & Chris have your deep routes and will give each other breathers afterwards from the sound of it. Aaron is going to be the beneficiary of safeties having to respect the other guys deep so he have less traffic to contest intermediate routes. Win-win all the way around.

Kyle Parker got in a few times last year. Had a sweet go ahead TD vs UCLA.

I'm looking forward to the return game from these two.

I wonder if Barion Brown will beat any on these guys out for punt or kick off return duties?

I especially don't want to lose TaRon Francis to the portal. He going to be a stud IMO. TaRon is a bigger and stronger Malik Nabers IMO. It's going to be very difficult to keep him off the field.

LSU is so deep at WR.

Read that Aaron wasn’t at practice today.
I’m sure all is fine, but wonder if he has to attend an intercession class or something.

Nobody is "forgetting" about anybody. But every other day there is a new thread about a receiver that is going to breakout this year. A. Anderson, Zavion Thomas, Destyn Hill, Chris Hilton, N. Anderson, Barion Brown, Kyle Parker, Jelani Watkins... That's 8 WR that a bunch of people think are all going to have great years. Throw in Trey'Dez and Baur Sharp that will get targets, it's simply too many guys. In reality only 4 of those WR are going to have a significant amount of stats.
