1) Been committed for a while so knew he had to get his grades up

2) Position is already stocked, then have 3 others committed at his position with similar height and build

3) Not enough room to play the risk game when other positions need to be stocked up as well


In the end this is good for LSU.
- We had one WR too many, but all of them were too good to just turn down
- We needed another spot for depth in the trenches


I doubt we'd snag him as a JUCO recruit in a year or two unless it is just meant to be for him to come to LSU. He's going to be a big time prospect out of JUCO though.

ETA: Just saw the UTSA tweet, that would be a great alternative.

No it's not hindsight. Every site said the same thing. We made Ben Davis' final 5. How much of a chance do you think we have? I understand we love LSU but some of us are blind. I pissed a bunch of people off last year when I said we're not getting Leo Lewis or CeCe Jefferson. But there can be surprises. Everything shows Christmas-Giles to Texas. It sucks. Some people see predictions to other schools as being anti-LSU or negative.

I understand where you're coming from - I just think we have a shot at DCG. Although it is tracked religiously by us and the media, you and I both know it's not an exact science. I can still have hope if i want dammit!!

Hester was a 3*.

Is there a rich philanthropist that likes LSU that could help pay his way.

The kid dreamed to go to LSU. It could be grades,
But I feel for the kid.

We already have 3 big time WRs in this class in Sullivan, Davis, and Anderson. Don't know why people are so heartbroken over his decommittment. Good luck to the kid wherever he goes.

Because despite having 3 others, we may not get big time commits like this next year. 4 stars don't grow on trees so to speak.

I guess we'll hear this refrain from a lot of you posters from now on. While I concede that Frank Wilson was a great recruiter, he was not canned by LSU. He left for a head coaching job. LSU did not destroy any goodwill he may have created with the recruits.

If everyone that he recruited suddenly decide to follow him to his new school, well, that would be a story.

I know, we already have a great class. It is all about the rankings at this point.
