That was from the horse’s mouth on the LSU Coach’s radio show last night (answer to Ragoo).

The day/period is not over, but certainly a failure from his own expectation.


Positive spin:
-we still have Feb, transfer portal, and 2021 for ‘extra’ spots

And take a look at the list of commits. If the rest of them sign today, that would put us at 22. So, what's your point?

What? Burton and Rakim are already gone.

O said he expected 23 TODAY

We might not get to 23 total

No the expected remaining signings put us at 19. He clearly expected Burch, Burton, and Jarrett to be signing. All didn’t.

Are the 6 committed not expected to sign in the early signing period? If they all do, that puts us at 22.

Of the 6 left CamRon & possibly Burton and Lorando are not likely in this early period.

The kids lie to the coaches. It's hard to tell them no sometimes.

Well hopefully Evans is one of the 22-23 and we’ll find out soon enough

We need a stud rb badly. Jimbo has a ton of booster money to spend. It will be hard to overcome.

We don’t NEED to fill all 25. Just pointing out it certainly looks like O got played from his own expectations if there are no other huge surprises in this period.

And why would that be a big deal? I recall in 2018 we signed 22 and it allowed us to bring in a transfer named Joe Burrow.

I'm not concerned with undersigning. Losing Jarrett and possibly Burton together sucks tho.

I agree. Losing Burton (still in play) and Rak would hurt from what they could bring to the table. But LSU will be fine at that position.

I'm not worried about the talent we'll have at WR. Burch would've been a difference maker, but he was never at any point a sure thing for us. Plus the last time we had space left in a signing class we filled it later with a Heisman QB.

Yeah it's never cool missing out on highly rated guys, but at least they are WRs.

Time to recheck your math...

17 signed. Only 4 remain ‘committed.’ And
we are NOT signing all 4. Likely 2, maybe 3.

So what was once an OVERFLOWING class that required ‘processing’ has 4-6 ‘extra’ spots.

If Taylor and White are in that’s 19.

You’re the same guy who counts a loss after the third quarter aren’t you?
