Fong whiparound he says he likes where LSU is and the visits blew him away. Believes LSU has the edge over Ohio State and Alabama this was from this morning.

Who is last Midwest guy who signed out of high school that stuck and did well? Not Jaxson Howard, not Clifton, not Gunner.

not Clifton


I remember being so excited about getting Clifton. A 5 star LB. I guess high-school football in the Midwest is a little different than down here. He didn't pan out once he got to college.

The right question is who was the last defensive player we landed that made an impact in the SEC

Midwest produces great OLs, TEs etc

He didn't take football serious enough and the heat, from what i remember. Also, he was very stiff. He was a straight line rush the passer. He couldn't play horizontally.

Perkins started less than a year and a half and has produced 26 TFL 13 sacks 7 forced fumbles 2 interceptions and 7 pass deflections. He's one of the greatest LSU defensive players we've had in modern history. With 7 sacks next year he will be top 5 all time in sacks at LSU.

Ethan Pocic and Spencer Ware were pretty good. Joseph Barksdale too.

Joe Burrow didn’t sign out of high school, but he was obviously a fantastic player for us after transferring in.
