Should be very good. Lots of depth and return 3 starters out of the 5 starters last year. Will have to replace tight ends and two offensive linemen, but there are a ton of capable players with size and ability. I do not expect them to have as much trouble as they had last year early on.

What they need this year is some skill players outside Bolden and Henry. Coleman and Foust were huge losses along with Young. Hopefully some sophomores will step up (Hunter?) and be a big time threat to score.

Return pretty much everyone plus add Breen who most consider the best OL prior to injury before the season last year.

From reading the tea leaves, and just common sense.....Bolden is gonna sit back and see how the LSU offense will fit him. If Canada can show that he'll use his talents, I think odds are the kid ends up at LSU. I think he wants to be a Tiger, but he has to make a smart decision for himself.

I was just told that Canada did not know who Bolden was at the spring game, apparently. That's not true is it JJ?

Which is it? LSU let him slip through the cracks or he is slow playing LSU?
Can't be both.

I didn't say LSU would let him slip through the cracks

I just think he's an LSU fan that wants to make sure the new offense fits him before making the biggest decision of his life.

I really look forward to seeing this guy play in the Fall. I've watched him play baseball and he looks like a heck of an athlete. Obviously he must be if he's receiving offers from LSU and Bama.

JJ. What teams have offered Slade to play both football and baseball? Will that play a role in his decision?

I heard (from a pretty unreliable source) that only one of the smaller Arkansas schools have offered him to play both. Arkansas St or something like that. Again, it wasn't from someone 'in the know' with Slade personally, but someone that is connected to WM sports.


I will be out there tonight though watching them put an arse whipping on Sulphur.

I've heard different stories. Haven't had a chance to ask Slade about those two.

The way that bama baseball looks right now, saban can call the shots on getting the kid a baseball offer if that's what it takes to get him. Goff can't tell him no.

They definitely know each other. I took Slade to a couple Tech games last year when Goff was still here.
