**Easton Royal or Jalen Brewster?**

I'm sitting here hoping **both** Easton Royal and Jalen Brewster flip to LSU! ????

But let's play a "what if."

**What if we could only land one of them? Which one are you taking?**

I think most people would choose **Easton Royal**. He's a Louisiana kid, and we'd all love to keep another elite prospect home in the Boot.

As tempting as that is, **I'd take Jalen Brewster.**

Here's why...

I want LSU's defense to become elite again.

I have complete confidence in Coach Kiffin and the offensive staff. They've consistently developed explosive offenses, and I trust them to turn a 3- or 4-star wide receiver into a star.

What we've been missing lately is an elite defense to complement an elite offense.

We've had some outstanding offenses in recent years, but too often the defense has kept us from competing for championships. If we can keep Blake Baker around for a few more years and continue giving him elite defensive talent, I think LSU has a chance to become dominant on both sides of the ball.

**So if you could only choose one...**

?? **Easton Royal?**
or
?? **Jalen Brewster?**

Who are you taking, and why?

Games are won and lost at the line of scrimmage.

I wouldn’t count on that. If our defense has a good showing this season, my bet is he takes a head coaching gig somewhere. He will be wanted by many.

Royal. Have to keep the Texas schools from coming in state and getting our elite kids.

If only one then give me the stud DL. We have never had problems getting very good receivers

Either one would be great.

Give me Brewster though. An elite DT is an underrated asset.

There is no scenario or money issue where LSU would either choose one or the other so irrelevant post

Unlike some of the posters here, I do think this is a fair question.

I think these two, with Pop Houston are the three most important pieces to this recruiting class.

If we can secure both of these kids and keep our current class intact, I think this will be one of the best recruiting classes we’ve ever had, (when accounting for the portal.)

Easton is by far the most important five star offensive player in this class. If money is an issue, take it from any other five star offensive player you were offering.

In my opinion, the difference is, Easton and his family really like Austin. So it’s not just meeting the financial offer. He loves LSU, too. So we’ll see.

With Brewster, I think you just have to be able to meet the finances. I think he really wants to play at LSU.
