CEO has said he wants 2 QBs in this class. This thread is intended for those who may not be familiar with where we are at on the 2nd QB. Let's take a look at the most mentioned ones on this board & by recruiting guys.

Peter Parrish - DUAL QB. 6'1, Florida, Miss St, and Arizona St have offered him. #12 Dual QB on 247 Composite. Committed to LSU.

4.61, 40 yard dash. 4.32, 20 yard shuttle. (Fastest if you compare the top 5 Dual QB's with available 40 yard dash times).

Peter at LSU Camp

-Works through his progressions (with no pressure)
-Looks off the safety (and his receiver) multiple times
-Has nice touch on the deep ball. Timing is off with receivers who he isn't used to which is normal I would say.

Junior Year Highlights

-Nice touch on the deep ball with his receivers. Very accurate on the deep ball.
-Elite QB Breakaway speed on runs
-Can throw on the run / roll out
-My favorite part: Looks comfortable in the pocket & under pressure
-May lack a little accuracy from these 2 videos. (not a lot of accuracy)
-Could rely on his feet too much.

NOW WHAT ABOUT THE 2ND QUARTERBACK?

Coach O did say "I'm looking at a great one, I promise you that" (referring to a 2nd 2019 QB.

Options:

Lance LeGendre - 6'2 - DUAL QB. no LSU offer. Alabama, Florida St, Texas A&M & Georgia have offered. #5 Dual QB on 247 Composite. I can see why LSU has not offered but would rather add him if we don't land the others.

Junior Highlights

-Hits on the deep ball a lot. Definitely has the arm strength.
-His HS coaches give him an easy route a lot - screen & underneath crossing routes.
-His offensive route trees are either designed for him or not complex in nature. This is a concern. It appears the route tree combinations are not college level. It's 3-4 verticals & 1 underneath 80% of the time.
-Does not work through his progressions at all. Not sure if he can with that route tree in his highlights.
-Did not see his speed in the highlights.
-Definitely comfortable in the pocket & never under pressure in his highlights.

-I think the staff will offer if we miss out on Taulia.

Taulia - PRO QB. #8 at Elite 11 Final Rankings - Alabama commit. Offered by LSU, Florida & Michigan. #6 Pro QB on 247 Composite

Rumor of a flip coming to LSU for a while now. Some think Kardell Thomas was referring to him 2 months ago & recently chatter on here thinks he is flipping.

7 on 7 at The Opening Finals

-Playing elite level talent & making incredible throws.
-Looks through his progressions very quickly.
-Incredibly accurate
-Ball comes out fast
-Nice touch on his balls. Knows when to loft it & knows when to throw it hard in there.

Junior Highlights

-Gets happy feet & leaves the pocket too quickly to me
-When under pressure, he can extend plays with his feet & arm (keeps his eyes downfield)
-When he stays in the pocket, he sees the field SO WELL.

Would be a HUGE get if we flip. I see why CEO is spending time with him.

Knox Kadum - 6'2 - PRO QB. Offers from Akron, Charlotte, Coastal Carolina. No offer from LSU. #55 PRO QB -- lowest ranking that LSU is recruiting of the QBs.

Knox at LSU

-Looks to me like he has a long release. Take a second for the ball to get out. I would expect a lot of batted balls.
-The other highlights are on Hudl; not much that I could find on Knox. Unsure if he's worth a scholarship offer. Some on here don't think he is.

Grant Gunnell - 6'6 #15 PRO QB. Has LSU offer. Offers from Alabama, Texas A&M, Ohio St. Committed to Arizona.

Game Highlights
The Opening

-Strong arm with a nice touch.
-Comfortable in the pocket.
-Great mobility in the pocket (Big Ben esque)
-Great timing on his throws
-Very accurate
-Happy feet sometimes in the pocket

Ryan Hilinski - 6'4 #2 PRO QB. Offers from LSU, Ohio St, and Georgia. Committed to South Carolina. #3 at Elite 11 Rankings.

The Opening
Junior Year

-Makes very quick decisions
-Scary accurate on long balls. Like REALLY accurate.
-I don't really see him work through any progressions though
-Does make good decisions when it comes to who is in single coverage. He avoids double coverage & the safeties over the top.

Let me know what you guys think about these QBs.

TLDR:

Thoughts: I really feel like Peter's film looks better than Taulia's (I could be wrong). But man does he look good. Fast; works through progressions & looks defenders off. Taulia looks good WHEN he's in the pocket; he is often forced out / runs out too soon. I think both will be great college QBs. I think Gunnell is better than his "rating;" Hilinksi is incredible as we all know.

I tend to think the 2nd QB would be Taulia or Helinski since O is that confident to say it to the media. Maybe I'm just an overly optimistic LSU fan. I do think Gunnell is worth an offer if Hilinski or Taulia don't work out.

What to look for:

Which of these QBs are coming visit this weekend?
