Leonard Fournettes was wild. 4 years. Thank god for Frank Wilson’s.

Jamal Adams was fun. I remember watching Jamal cover Malachi Dupre at a camp and I told a buddy he was going to be a pain in the arse. Joke Phillips is either Jamal’s godfather or uncle but at the time he was on Florida’s staff and everyone thought Jamal was UF bound. Then Hootie spurned LSU and it felt like LSU was losing Monroe completely and out of left field Les goes and lands Jamal Adams (with a ton of help from Ed Paris).

Another fun one was Klavon. Kid started playing football at an LSU camp between his sophomore and junior year. He was on a visit with Eric Monroe in basketball shoes and O asked him to run some drills. Before you know if he had 4 sacks in the army game, he was ranked #11 in the country and it was down to us and Texas. With a lot of help from Kary Vincent we landed him.

Devin White was fun to watch on the outside knowing that he was going to LSU. I remember him tweeting about Ole Miss when he was on a visit and dudes on here were complaining about how he should just commit to Ole Miss already and get it over with so we stopped wasting time on him. Grown men melting over a tweet.

For all the good there’s always bad ones. Gunner Kiel, Surtain, Moses, Joe McKnight and Landon Collins stick out to me.

5 for 5 never really bothered me. Going into it i told everyone I was watching with that I only cared about 1 player and that was Leonard. Obviously Jamal was an animal foo but Jamal developed. I knew what Leonard was. Tony always looked like a track star trying to play football and I had heard some stories about Speedy and Gerald that led me to believe they weren’t gonna finish college wherever they started.

There is a curious knock at the Chaisson house shortly before 3am. Coach O arrives in time to follow the family to the airport before K’lC and fam head out on an official visit (to USC?).

Coach O to the Chaisson fam: “I didn’t come out to your home at 3am to speak to you for 15 minutes before your trip just to have you sit the bench at LSU.”
