re: Keshun Reed Commits to LSU (Track)

Do you think it would be "Program changing"? I don't see him running at the collegiate level more than 1 year.
Although that 1 year would basically guarantee a top 3 finish given that Cherry, Bruton, and Acy stay around.

It would be a fleeting but big moment for LSU's recruiting efforts.

From Ashley Owens and Ebony Collins on the women's side to Parson's injury bug and dismissals on the men, it'd be great publicity for LSU to land a guy like him for future classes. It just feels like LSU track has been the brick haley of track and field lately. We're always in the top 5 for elite talent but not the victor.

As a big track fan it just gets frustrating seeing Florida, A&M, and Oregon seemingly get first dibs these days. Even Arkansas has been taking international sprinters/hurdlers that would previously had gone to LSU first (Mcleod comes to mind)

I feel like we're well coached, but we're not getting "first pick" like we used to. Great to see a guy like Keshun Reed join the good guys though.
