re: O-Line board heading into summer...

Good work, also a little bird told me that a 5* we have committed talks to Malik almost daily, and is close w/ Kam & Devone

Agreed, chalky

I don't see Agbo ending up at LSU. I think LSU has a better shot with Banks than the Aggie and Horns writers think..

It gives me Tristan Leigh vibes personally.

100% agree with you on all of this Capt.

Agbo just seems ‘interested’ in everyone end it really is a long distance from Washington state to Louisiana.

We NEED Banks, Armella, Dewberry, Greene, &/or Neto, and potentially Moreau depending on how he his evaluation goes from June 5 camp.

Give me...
1. Will Campbell
2. Emery Jones
3. Bo Bordelon
4. Lucas Taylor OR Kaden Moreau, &
5. Banks, Armella, Dewberry, Greene, or Neto

And I will be a happy camper!!

1. Kelvin Banks (LT, 6'5", 300-lbs., #25, 5*)

I don't follow recruiting that close year-round. Do we have a realistic shot with this guy? Would be pretty badass to get him and Campbell.

Agree with GeauxLSU4

Amen, Chalky. 100% agree. Below is a copy of a post I made several weeks ago regarding Armella’s recruitment.

Yeah, RedStick2020, I have been beating the “Julian Armella” drum for a little bit - and it’s just because the things I’ve been reading consistently point to LSU having a legitimate shot with him.

A quick overview of the points I’m referring too are as follows:

1. First thing, J. Armella reported that James Cregg has made a ‘big impression’ on him early on in the process, & they been building solid relationship for 6-8 months now,

2. Armella has been quick to point out how he’s close friends with Marcus & Marlon, and that he’s received positive reports about LSU from them. Also, he points to the these guys being able to see the field quickly (albeit, in limited capacities) and always mentions being interested in early PT himself,

3. Then, learned that the word coming from Armella’s camp was that he wants to head OOS for college, and that LSU & Bama we’re starting to stand out the most to him, and

4. Lastly, Armella has been adamant about wanting to visit LSU. He recently stated that visiting his top schools is essential to him, b/c he believes spending some time on each campus will provide the opportunity for him to determine which program he is most comfortable with and makes him feel at home.

EDIT for Newest Tidbits most recently discovered:

5. Armella’s father, Enzo, was recruited by ‘O’ to Miami when he was the D-Line coach for the Hurricanes. Despite choosing FSU, Enzo knows/respects ‘O’ and his coaching style. This connection sounds like it has real potential to benefit LSU

6. Armella recently reported that he is visiting Bama the week after LSU, but the OV hasn’t showed up yet on Bama TOS site. If he doesn’t end up visiting Bama after us, would take it as a positive sign for the good guys

Do you think Bordelon by another name would have been on LSU"s board?

---

He would. Bordelon is going to be a player. Don't worry too much about that weight. It's "well managed" and good mass is/will be put on as his body matures. He might top out at 290 lbs, but that's just fine with good athleticism and great strength. Between Bo and his Mom (and Dad) you won't have to worry about going off-plan (always a concern with linemen).

I've said it before and I'll say it again: I'll take good feet and mass to put on everyday over bad weight and even worse feet.

Bordelon's name put him on the radar for sure. But his name didn't earn him a scholarship. If he wasn't worth a scholarship he would have received a PWO offer. But he's worth one.
