New: #LSU OL coach Jeff Grimes is headed to New York City. Why? JUCO guys, including the No. 1 OT in America.

Other than being from Missouri, how on earth is Thompson CB'd 100% to mizzou?

It is the home state school
Immediate playing time
Stay close to home
Can still reach the NFL from a bad SEC team

Traore would be huge, I'll be extremely content with this class solely if we add him along with the other few highly ranked guys we're supposed to get

I think Wire from EA is going to be a good one, kind of been under the radar, he was pancaking Catholic all night Fri.

EA had another short and stocky lineman that was mauling people too, too small for big college programs.

We need more than Traore. He would only be our third OL commit in this class. We need at least 5.

We have Hines, Wire, and Cole Smith. I think adding Traore would make 4 and yes I think we need 5.

Hines

He's switched to DL recruit.

I think that Hines and Rosenthal will be given the opportunity to start on defense, but the option to switch to O line for earlier playing time.

I would consider them both "line" recruits.

Wire was holding the whole game. He is extremely raw and is going to be a project. It's going to be very hard in the Sec for him unless some miracle happens. In the Sec the De's are quicker and stronger.

Certainly has the size to be a NG in a 3-4, but from clips I've seen of him playing Dline this year he is very, very raw. Needs a lot of technique work and will need to drop some weight.

Just get him here and then figure out if he's Oline/Dline material.

I think Rosenthal can be either a Marquise Hill type DE or a LT. Great feet, athleticism, and frame.

Again...get him here and then figure it out.

LSU needs 2 true OT in this class. They can't wiff on finding one who can step in next year imo.

Yeah a defensive lineman. Not sure if he will be a nose guard or play DE for us.
