These are freak show numbers. Pay what you need to pay are we truly comfortable waiving the white flag and not matching what FL is offering ?

5'10 WRs grow on trees. Ask Dakorien Moore.

Jackson Harris came from Hawaii. Before that he was at Stanford. He was a small time recruit. He didn't get many passes his way before Green went down, but over the last 5 SEC games he has 32 receptions 646 yards and 7 TDs. If you take what he did there and stretch it over the last 3 games, he is on pace for 70 receptions 1187 yards (16.9 ypr) and 11 TDs in 12 games.

Tre Harris was a small time recruit and was at Louisiana Tech before Ole Miss. In his first year at Ole Miss he had 985 yards and 8 TDs averaging 18.2 ypr. In his second year in 8 games he had 1030 yards and 7 TDs averaging 17.2 ypr.

That same year Harris had that 1000 yard season, the #2 WR had over 900 yards at 18.5 ypr and 9 TDs

That same year Cayden Lee (now at Mizzou with 835 and 5 TDs in 9 games) had 875 yards at 15.3 ypr, and the #4 WR had 550 yards at 19.75 ypr with 6 TDs.


What I'm getting at is that as long as Kiffin is here, we don't need to worry about wide receivers. If Royal wants more than LSU is offering, then so long. Remember, LSU upped the price significantly. Florida has just decided to break the bank.

Get over this Royal thing. Florida? Florida? Royal is going to the highest bidder and probably wants to leave his crime ridden neighborhood too. Lane and Weiss will find other WR.

Simien is who we should REWLLY be going after.
OL is the hardest to properly evaluate when it comes to portal guys. That and OL needs time to play together and gel.
This is the one position you have to recruit well.
We also can’t let in state kids like this go to notre dame. We already have Alabama and Ohio state constantly picking our pockets. Now Florida and Notre dame?

We are holding our powder for the portal.

We can get 3 sure quality SEC starters for Royal’s deal and 2 starters for Simien (who is isn’t likely to play much next season at ND or LSU).

How much did LSU offer Royal and how much did he settle on?

Besides Harris, what about the other 9 WRs he brought in this year? They haven’t been good

The further we get into the season, the more I think Harris is gone next year. He will be Kiffin’s first 1st round WR.

I don’t think Kiffin’s track record is bad, but you came to lsu to land the best, not to put together a budget room of players every year.

Les is right here. 1 out of 9 isn't good. So, we need to keep the gold and toss the bronze guys. Replenish the WR room for the most part.

For his price tag, we can get a quality OL, quality WR, and quality LB from the portal.

I want Royal, I think he's a beast, but you have to run college football programs like NFL teams now. You blow your salary cap on a WR and leave holes throughout the roster, you aren't going to succeed.

He already has. Move on to someone else. Kiffin isnt paying that much for a freshman WR.

I just don’t think you can reliably get starting sec linemen in the portal. You have to develop those guys.
The best lineman in cfb don’t go into the portal because the schools they’re at do everything they can to retain them.

Problem is, we aren’t getting them through recruiting either

Exactly. That is a huge problem.
Don’t say that too loud though, people on here have this outlandish idea that you can just rebuild your entire team every year through the portal and contend for championships when nobody that is at the top on cfb consistently is rebuilding their entire o line every year.

Yeah someone needs to remind him that he’s not at ole miss anymore. This is one of the top programs in the country. We can get the best.
