But in the meantime, it has been Orgeron’s ability to lure players from junior colleges and other four-year colleges that has helped prevent LSU from falling off dramatically.


quote:

The Tigers needed an influx of playmakers on offense and defense, so they turned to Texas Tech and brought in a standout wide receiver and a standout defensive lineman, both of whom are eligible this season after sitting out a season.

The offensive line suddenly became youthful and thin last season, so Orgeron went to junior colleges to grab a couple of players who appear to be SEC-ready right away.


quote:

The place-kickers were unreliable last season, so in comes a super-accurate graduate transfer for this season.

The quarterbacks weren’t consistent enough during spring practice, so here comes another graduate transfer.

quote:


All in all, the LSU depth chart features nine players who came to LSU from other colleges and most of them are expected to be key contributors.

Here’s a closer look at the more mature recruits Orgeron has landed:

Sounds like the roster is being stockpiled full of players with NO CHEST that were too afraid to compete at their previous schools.

Despite the "ace recruiter" having sarcastic vibes, I will give him a nod on this one. Whether anyone likes it or not, his ability to recruit transfers is a positive for our program.

If you’re an ace recruiter, why do you need to scramble for that many transfers?

It was a big need and hope he continues to do so! This will allow freshmen not being thrown to the wolves day 1 and let them develop.

I'm happy with O's great work this off-season, Ree, and unlike many others, I'm filled with great hope; I'm willing to give O and E this coming season to see if they know what the hell they are doing in terms of X's and O's.

Fehoko has stated that he came to LSU to learn from the best in all of football. I don't think it really had anything to do with his former school or teammates.

Burrow and Tracy are both grad transfers.

Are you crying about the players leaving LSU? Or are you miserable over the ones that came in?

I just wonder how long it'll take you and the Pomansky bots to start trashing Burrow.
