re: Jalen Lee reaffirms commitment to LSU

Right. Guillory, Roy, and one of Lee/Taylor. Both of them with what LSU needs at basically every other position is redundant in the class IMHO.

People not realizing how badly the Kelvin, K Jones, McCallum, Provens, etc transfers have screwed with the numbers in this class compared to what it looked like 9 months ago. They have needs at every position, so the class needs to be balanced by position.

In some cases they are stronger sure, but they only have a year or two of eligibility. And in a tight class like this I would hope we don’t cut either of our 4 star highschool DL for Juco DL.

Jalen Lee reaffirms commitment to LSU by VolTiger13I will say this though... There aren't any kids going to be willing to leave this class... So just because someone is "110% committed to LSU" doesn't mean it gets reciprocated.

I suspect one might act like this is they are in fact on the Mendoza line

They really like Gaye and expect him to contribute next season

Gaye is weird way to spell Burch

He was talking about Jalen Lee yesterday, right? so it looks like we are trading burch for Lee at this point if Vol's source holds true

But then we still have Evans, dumervil, and Webb that we’re taking. At least 3 more need to drop

Gaye would be both the tallest and most athletic DL on LSU's roster. It's pure star-gazing to think he wouldn't be in this class, save for a last-minute commit of a guy who plays the same position like Burch.

It's like people don't watch LSU and see how unathletic our front 3 is.

Just as important, you can't damage relationships with Louisiana high school coaches and communities within the state. It's a tough balancing act when you have to make the numbers work. That also applies to some key out of state areas as well.
