Is he fast enough to play linebacker. Why are we going after these small dlinemen. We need guys big enough to set the edge. This is the reason BJ was washed out of runs a lot.

Matt House likes versatility, as you also saw Ojulari breaking out in coverage a lot as well.

Slight concerns about frame but has length. Carries 235 like it is 220. Elite burst and speed off the edge. Changes direction well. Excellent body control. Shows flexibility to dip shoulder and turn corner. Disruptive edge rusher. Uses hands well. Re-directs down line of scrimmage. Has varied move set and polished swim move. Plays with power and suddenness. Has athleticism to drop into coverage. Has to add upper body strength. Does not have elite size. Must improve at point of attack in run game. Multi-year starter at Top 20 program. Day 3 NFL draft potential.

Coastal’s weight program is a little different than ours. Boy can add 25lbs easy and play the edge. I think BK and House have an idea of how to evaluate players.

They have no clue who they’re offering, he’s right. Kelly and company can’t evaluate! Lmao, keyboard scouting at its finest. This could be a nice grab for LSU in all seriousness and at LSU and under this Kelly regime, the nutritional program will have him larger and still lean.

Shut up dummy. Brian Polian isn’t handing out offers to transfers without the blessings of like 3 other people.

Now these are the type guys we need. NFL potential player. Starter. Has potential to be a big time SEC player.

You really think this isn't ran through BK first or even LSU's scouting department? Who do you think presents these guys to BK and staff and then who do you think approves the offers based on their evaluations?

Just going out and offering without approval from HC is a fast way for fat boy to end up unemployed.

One of my biggest fears is this staff will try to find/settle for diamonds in the rough instead of playing at the big boys table for big name prospects

What's wrong with that? You can find plenty of top talent from smaller schools. Guys who fell through the cracks but are NFL players. There's nothing wrong with that. Fell through cracks. Lots of drive to prove themselves at the next level since it's harder for NFL teams to get it while they're at smaller college. You rely on LSU's scouting here and LSU has elite scouting.
