only this time, focus on the elite of the elite, don't even care if they are committed.

get them to BR and let them see what's happening with this offense.

you currently have the next crop of superstar WRs committed already.

just needs a top of the line signal caller to cap this one off.

I was thinking the same thing this weekend.

We need another Joe. So the Coach E and B offense can be great with concepts, but you need elite talent at the QB position as well and give them the keys.

These past 2 weekends were some selling points. We already have the elite WR talent as well.

Don’t see why a QB wouldn’t want in on this. #1 overall pick potential in this offense.

You are spot on. Need to go all out for the best. After watching Finley and Johnson on film, to be nice yhey are not LSU material. With the wr’s we have , and now with Brady on board, the very best know they can come here , put up ridiculous numbers, then mske millions. A no brainer.

Is it too late to grab a big name at this point, and how loyal is the staff to the two current QB commits.

I’d get Elias in Bryce Young’s ear

I agree. But do we really need that guy for next year? No reason why Brennan can’t hold it down until 2021. If we can’t get a stud in this class, getting one for 2021 is critical

Agreed.

If the draw is a top offense we need to start appealing to the top 2-3 guys.

Brennan will play two seasons which will leave us sitting nicely for a young guy to come in and start in 2022. As soon as Joe graduates, I’d hire his Dad to scout around the part of the state they live in and find another kid similar to Joe.

Holy crap, what was so wrong with this comment? Anyone who was part of the 12 downvotes care to give some input on this? Geez.

I get why everyone is fired up but the dominoes have fallen for 20'. It is what it is, but LSU's offense will pay dividends in 21' with QB recruits. Right now is when you get on them. I look for us to land Nussmeier's kid as a high-4* and maybe eventual 5*, in addition to another elite guy.

Brady has an entire year to watch Myles work in live games and build a system to fit his strengths, which is exactly what he said his philosophy is when interviewed Saturday night, and what we've been clamoring for. Myles will likely graduate this year and be able to enroll as a grad student, meaning he gets a more relaxed course schedule to study film like Burrow and Mettenberger had when the light came on.

We are in better shape at QB than I can remember since maybe 06'. Myles is your starter for the next two years baring complete failure over the course of this season. If that happens you go get a grad transfer, and sell them on putting up video game numbers in this system. If Myles establishes himself you have a year to watch Parrish, Finley, and Johnson take practice reps and see if one of them hits. If you're not satisfied, you have a banner year with likely your pick of the litter in 21', with a full season to develop.

There's a huge thread over on 247 about this. Everyone is pretty much in agreement.

There's no reason we can't recruit the best QBs in the country year in and year out, especially if this is going to be our style of offense going forward.

The wide receiver corps is going to be loaded for years. Brady doesn't seem like he's going anywhere anytime soon. None of this works, however, if you don't have an elite guy back there making the throws and reading the defense.

Joe Brady is the difference maker here.

Double the guy's salary and make him co-Offensive Coordinator next year. Seeing what he does in year two with Myles will be even more important to attracting future top QBs.

You've got to remember that not every High School has all of the pieces to make a candidate look like a superstar coming in. That can be scheme, receivers that drop quality throws, lack of quality in developing lineman at the HS level to provide adequate protection. As such, knowing whether a HS QB "has it" is very much an inexact science. I like that Orgeron wants to be most attracted to outstanding character in what becomes leaders of your team.

This around to the 5 star transfer [now] wide receiver at Miami who doesn't seem to have that desired character. I would anticipate Orgeron sees the desired character in our current two QB recruits.

If Brady is the "mad scientist" that can take candidates and develop them into what Burrow has seemingly become, that will bring the long term success.

We are aiming for

Caleb Williams 247 (5* #1 Dual Threat)

Demetrius Davis 247

Garret Nussmeier 247 (stocks been flying upwards, will end as a top 100 recruit)

Someone we should push for - Preston Stone 247

I've been skeptical of both Finley and Johnson from the start. I'm fine with taking one of them for depth purposes, but I have a feeling if we have to rely on them to start we would come away disappointed.

Let’s have Haynes King visit for the A&M game and put on the full court press. Would be nice sitting as one of the top teams and offenses in the nation while A&M comes to town with 4 losses.

I thought you typed “ Clear the 2020 recruiting board and start over”
Then saw all the upvotes and thought WTF?

Two games against the Sunbelt and Big 12 and the board has gone crazy.

Joe Burrow was a 3star on rivals . . . just saying.

Look at that offer list!

This place has reached a whole new level of stupid. So we tell two 4 star QBs we have committed to kick rocks just because Joe Burrow, a 5th year Senior, played lights out against Texas?! Ya'll are giving this coaching staff two much of a pass. What makes Lincoln Riley such an offensive genius is he adapts his game plan to the QBs he has on the roster. If our coaching staff merely relies on talent and not focus on development of QBs we will have the same shite UGA had. We will have a log jam of talented QBs who will leave for greener pastures. We have the time to develop a few 4 star QBs while Brennan comes into his own over the next two seasons. Some of y'all mutha frickers are crazy. Get rid of two 4 star QBs that you can develop for one higher rated 2020 kid that more than likely will not beat out Brennan next year?! Yea Ok!

How good is the kid committed to TN? As shitty as they are, he'd be the easiest to flip.
