re: 2022 In-State Recruits (LA)

100% agree with you, SlidellTiger.

And the good news is that 2022 is just the year for us to make it happen. Based on the following highlights from the 2022 OL class, I hope Coach O sets a goal of 5 signees (4 HS & 1 txfr.) because this is attainable and would help bolster lighter hauls from previous two classes. Anyway, here’s my primary takeaways from an initial review of prospects offered.

1. We already have a verbal commitment from Lucas Taylor, a 4* OG from Alabama,

2. Hopefully, we keep Will Campbell and Emery Jones in-state for college.

3. Sign one of the eight 4* OTs from southern states where you’ve had recent recruiting success (TX = 5; FL = 3), and

4. Identify & sign the best instant impact lineman you can find, because we will need an instant contributor to assist our young and inexperienced OL in 2022 (b/c, we probably lose Dare, Ingram, Shanahan, &/or Hines from 2021 OL).

If we can accomplish these four things, it would be a home run hall of OL (likely two 4* OTs, two 4* OGs, and high-end txfr.)
