Do we really have a shot at him? He is a really good athlete and is going to be hard to get away from Mizzou Arky

I know it's a very small chance, but he is talking about FL an awful lot. That's not too close to home, and in that same interview he said distance wasn't that big of a concern as long as the school is easy to get to from his home. He talked about a direct flight to Gainsville from his hometown.

1st LSU needs a passing game. It is going to be tough to get a top out of state WR (who doesn't have ties to LSU) without proving they can throw the ball effectively.

The passing game or lack thereof hasn't been as important to recruits as i thought it would be.If you read or hear the things that most wr recruits we're on are saying they all talk about how we throw the ball around.Obviously these kids don't pay that much attention to things like that.I really thought it would be more of a detterence han it's been.Most wr recruits are worried about 2 things.Depth chart and the NFL.

You don't think our struggle in the passing game has turned away WR prospects these past couple of years?

Good point about the NFL and if you are like Toliver and recent guys that can't put up good numbers because of the complete lack of passing effectiveness then their draft stock falls big time.

LSU will struggle to get Elite out of state WR if the passing game doesn't improve. (which I am pretty confident it will).

This guy is a freak of an athlete. Wherever he goes is going to get a hell of a game changer.

Any chance of him going to FL or anywhere like that is gone now. His brother was diagnosed with Cancer last week.

Ultimately, I think he considers us late, but will stay near home.

We will have a much better passing game this year (if only for the mere fact that it can't get any worse), but a Mett-led consistent offense and a championship caliber defense will catch his attention, and he will give us a serious look, no doubt, especially if we win the West.

At best, I see a Ryan Shazier kinda ending to this scenario where we are considered late, but lose out.

Personally, No i don't believe that our pitrid passing game has turned wrs off the last 2 years.We had Hunter and Davis commited and both were top OOS wrs.They didn't decommit because of our passing game.Davis got the offer he wanted in Texas and Hunter was going to Tennessee a long time before he decommited.That had to do with his coach pushing him and his want to be closer to home.That year we landed Kadron Boone who in many of the best FL guys minds was the best wr in FL that year.Lateness in the game was the reason we weren't able to really push more OOS kids.Fobbs and Williams were good gets regardless.This past year our top wr targets were all instate.Sure there were some OOS kids we offered but Landry(the best wr in the country),Beckham and Sylve were our tp guys from the beginning.Sylve decided to go to Bama early and we took Turner in the summer.Alonzo lewis also got offered very early in the process(actually the summer before his process really started)and he was a wr to most everyone and still could be but likely plays S.I honestly don't see who our putrid passing game cost us.We even turned down Trey metoyer early last year so it's pretty clear we felt good about our chances with the instate kids.The kids so far this year haven't mentioned anything about our passing game being bad that i've seen or heard and i am very tuned in to recruiting.It just hasn't been a factor to this point.Suprises me but i think it's affecting QB recruiting more than WR recruiting.We haven't exactly been knocking down the door with top QB recruits lately.We got fortunate that we were the 1st school that really pushed Mettenberger.We had great chances with Bridgewater and Brissett but Brisset never would've ended up here and for some reason we chose not to push Bridgewater at the end.
