re: Should we be worried about Aaron Anderson

I can’t imagine anyone being worried about a WR in this class.
I’ll get downvoted for this but I disagree significantly. WR has become one of the most important positions on the field—look at the elite teams of the past few years: LSU and Clemson in 2019, Bama in 2020, Ohio state this coming year—and as of now, Anderson might be the only truly dangerous receiver in our class. I like AJ johnson and decoldest, but to me, those guys don’t project to be stars at the SEC level. We need stars, and imo anderson can be that. This is a position where the top programs are stacking 2, 3, 4 top 100 recruits every single cycle. Just because we have one other 4* doesn’t mean that we don’t need Anderson. A class with just AJ Johnson and decoldest would be a legitimate problem.
If we can finish this class with Preston/Anderson/johnson/Crawford, I’ll feel very good. If we finish this class off with Preston/johnson/Crawford, I’ll feel okay. If we finish this class off with johnson/Crawford, I’ll feel bad.
The fact is that WR recruiting, in this day and age, dictates the ceiling of your offense. Anderson is not a guy that we can lose and just say “ah who cares”

Justin Jefferson, DJ Chark, and Josh Reed didn’t project as stars either. You just never know until they start playing. Some guys develop late, some peak early.

There is no way they finish the class with 2 receivers. I hope you know this.

Totally agree with this. You have to have elite receivers if you want to get into the playoffs.

more kids than ever are playing WR. They are literally everywhere. Especially in Louisiana
The WR's signing P5 that LSU cannot take is staggering.
If LSU can firm up their offensive system into what it always should have been, it equalizes it even more. Les Miles isn't walking through that door.

Maybe he’s feeling a bit jealous, maybe the coaching staff is really putting it on Shazz right now and his feelings are hurt, The only thing I know is Will C & Walker H won’t flinch, the rest is a crap shoot!

1. LSU pulled in a King's ransom at WR last year and you are selling guys like Crawford and Johnson way short.
2. After Bama pulled in that 3 man WR haul in 2017, they only got one elite WR over the next 3 years. In the 2019 class they pulled in one WR, 40th ranked at his position Metchie. Metchie is about become the next Bama WR to go high in the draft. In 2018 they pulled in Waddle who went top 10. The other two guys they had in that span, which were top 25 at their position at top 150 overall recruits, have done nothing, and haven't even been needed.
3. This is LSU so we'll get at least one elite WR no matter who it is, but let's say we only get Decoldest and Johnson. That's literally one year in a 3 year cycle (used to be 4 years but everybody leaves after 3). Boutte is here for another 2 years, the freshman 3+ (5 of them, 3 in the top 13 at WR), and Decoldest and/or Johnson could turn into the next low ranked star WR at LSU (Brandon LaFell, DJ Chark, Justin Jefferson).

Somewhat true but LSU never struggles recruiting WR even when we had Les Miles. They're literally a dime a dozen so for LSU to come back and replace them with someone just as elite isn't as hard. Just look at this class so far and look at how many WRs are interested in LSU. We don't have a spot for all of them.
