I know there are higher rated 5-star WRs and RBs but of all the film I've watched this year, I don't think there are 2 more dynamic play-makers than these two. Crazy they are both in LA. Even though I'm an MSU fan, I'm excited to see these guys together at LSU in a few years. Gonna be sick. Only question is: Is LSU recruiting Merritt as a RB, slot, or just a utility guy? I think he could do it all

I think we're recruiting Merritt as a slot WR with the potential to also get carries. Not 100% on that though. He can do a lot of things though.

Merrit will get Derek Dillons spot, IMO. Slot WR all the way.

Merritt would run circles around Dillon. Would be super pumped to have them both!

With Merritts size, I am pretty sure he easily has the higher ceiling.

Merritt plays against much better competition and is currently a more complete football player. Dillon has blazing speed and reminds me a lot of mo Claiborne

I wonder if Merritt could be like that WR Antwan Goodley. He's 5'10 220lbs and looks like a RB, but catches everything. I really like that kid.

I think Tyron is the best WR this year regardless of where he ranks. He looks just like Marqise Lee on tape. My next best would have to be Christian Kirk, and my 2nd personal favorite is Carlos Strickland. Love Strickland's speed and height combo, and he has some moves in the open field. Since we didn't go after MHJr last year, please lets recruit this sleeping giant hard.

Merritt lines up 75% if the time at wr. Destrehan's starting rb is will matthews and he's a beast. We want Merritt and Dillon, believe that.

Tyron is becoming that can't miss prospect that people said didn't exist in this class.

I must say to take what I say fwiw b/c I'm an MSU fan that follows the Dogs the closest but from what I've read and what my Tigah cousins say, he's all LSU but A&M is trying. Take all that fwiw b/c I'm no LSU crootin expert. I just watch a lot of film and love his game
