Let’s get some fruitful discussion brewing about our top 3 portal wants in the comments.

This board will only get more active as the commits start to roll in, let’s capitalize on our time being in the dark by discussing some recruits we want in the purple and gold.

I’ll start:
1. Koi Perich (Minnesota Safety)
2. Chaz Coleman (Penn State EDGE)
3. Bo Mascoe (Rutgers CB)

QB will work itself out and I think either Sorsby or Leavitt will excel here.

We need about seven OL, so putting one on this list wouldn't fix the issue. Would love Lance Heard back from Tennessee though.

He visited Texas Tech yesterday and has not committed to this point.

LSU expects to have him on campus this weekend.

I really really want Chaz Coleman so I’ll put him at number 1
I’d prefer Sorsby over all the other QBs
so he’ll be my 2
Koi Perich would really just complete our secondary which I feel like is already complete but I think he would be an incredible addition
My 2 cents

1. Considering we need qb, I’d say Sorsby.
2. Bring Heard back home.
3 Chaz Coleman

Agree, except we can’t really count on Chambliss until his eligibility is sorted out. So that makes me push Leavitt ahead of him for now.

On Leavitt, if the money is the same, I’ve gotta give LSU a huge advantage in terms of environment, facilities, development, etc. I discount the personal connections to TT. For what this dude will be making, he can afford plenty of travel and pads at both places.

My actual #1 & 2 we’re securing HB and Green, glad Lane got that done first.

Ole Miss winning had to delay some moving parts I’m thinking. Hopefully Sorsby makes it to BR this morning/afternoon!

In order, manly because of need:
1 - QB - Brendan Sorsby
2 - OT - Lance Heard
3 - Edge - Chaz Coleman

HM - S - Koi Perich

Do not want: WR Cam Coleman. Not because he isn’t good, he’s easily top 3 WR in college. But his skill set is similar to Trey’Dez and we have needs elsewhere and Cam will cost $2+Mil

I’ll be on the computer all day today just hanging around so checking Texas Tech board for the most part.

So we want either Chambliss or Sorsby to start. Waiting game with NCAA is bleh. Ole Piss side thinks he doesn’t get the waiver. But then again their insiders suck.

Lance Heard
Andrew Sprague
Chaz Coleman

Give me the trenches. Everything else will work itself out. LSU recruits itself at the skill positions.
