I'd rather offer money to Moore from Oregon, Legree from Oregon State, or stick with developing the WR depth we already have.

We are still in need of O-Linemen so that would be a great place to start rather than pony up even more money just to land Royal...who may end up being a bust.
Heck, Keys flipped from LSU to Tennessee as the top rated WR from 2026 and hasn't done hardly anything.

You are correct but that goes for most freshmen..Lane is known as the portal king based on not being able consistently stack top recruiting classes to Ole Miss. He's stated he rather be in the position to recruit well and fill in with tranfer portal players.Like I said I might not brake a record on NIL on him but you gonna have to spend top dollar on multiple positions to accomplish this

FYI, LSU has not topped out. They still have room to bargin if necessary.


This is good to hear. I was surprised to hear they were topped out on royal. I always felt like he would be at lsu at the end of the day.

He is that elite. You just don't want to miss on that kind of prospect. Very advanced for his age. He trains like a much older prospect.

Speaking of, how did things turn out for old Jaden? Players who make their choices based on the highest payout rarely earn their money

All of the top recruits are searching for a payday. Sam Levitt went on an all expense paid barnstorming tour to get his number as high as possible.

Florida would be committing a lot of money to 3 WRS. Brown, Wilson, and Royal.

Really? This is our worst WR core in awhile. How many TDs have we dropped through 5 games? One of our top transfers, Brown, is close to getting benched. Missing on a DK moore or lockett is fine but cant miss on #1 WR from right here imo

Yes it is. He has all the physical traits, the intangibles, and the mentality.
Plus he has the tape to back it up.

But I know quite a few making a good living off their LSU brand from years past. Just think there’s more to it than just immediate dollars if you want to live here long term.



Fiest name i thought of was Malachi Dupree. 5* WR from.NO, went to LSU but only made a couple hundred thousand playing pro ball

Where he is now? Just looked him up and he owns 3 Sushi restaurants in and around NO.

Take note Easton, there is life after football

I for one hope that we don't pursue players like this during the LK era. Have faith in your staff's ability to develop talent and build a deep roster instead.

See Bryce Underwood.

Lane CAME to lsu to recruit & be able to land players like this.

Goddamn I cannot take some of the dumb shite posted here lol. Easton Royal is legitimately one of the best players to ever come out of Louisiana.

If the money is there sure, but if money IS an object, you're actually a frickin clown if you think a top wide receiver is better than getting multiple really good players. A wide receiver no matter how good does not carry an entire team in college.

If there is no spending limit sure, but your statement is simply not true for all scenarios.

Jamar Chase also sounded like he didn't want to play for us when he took his visits to UF
