They WEREN'T his recruits. Are you slow? It's very simple, after 3 classes he hasn't gotten 1 guy on the field. He only has 3 guys in this class and it looks like the best ones going to flip. His WRs get absolutely no separation, he's not doing his job

frick you, how about that. This class signs in 2 weeks. He has 3 commits and is 50/50 on losing his top one. All that bullshite you said doesn't mean shite because not ONE of his recruits plays this year, every one that's on the field is a transfer. Argue with that
2. What a dumbass response considering Aaron Anderson has needed 3 years (2 at LSU, 1 at Bama), to show how good he really is, and LSU brought in 2 WRs from the portal and already had a 5th year in Lacy and 3rd year in Zavion Thomas.
3. You have 3 seasoned vets and a 3rd year first time starter in Anderson, and you are expecting true freshman who needed development, to start over them? Did you not fricking understand when I said Jalen Brown left and the only other top receiver is Shelton Sampson? As a matter of fact, Kyle Parker was about to break out this year and got hurt for the rest of the season. It's clearly in your got damn face, but you want to blame the coach. I want you to name me the last time a top WR that didnt come from Louisiana, that was productive at LSU? Where the hell do you think Anderson, Hilton, BTJ, Nabers Chase, Marshall, Boutte, Palmer, Landry, and Beckham came from? Those are just the ones with the higher ratings. We also had Chark and Jefferson.
Francis and Wright are just more in a long list of underrated receivers. You know Hankton produced under recruited and underrated WRs before in guys like Ladd McConkey and Adonai Mitchell, right? You can whine all you want, but even if we lose Meadows LSU will be well more than fine. Counting out Louisiana born and raised receivers is something only the ill-informed would do

Aint reading all that, shortbus. Are any of our WRs this year his guys? Yes or no? Does he have only 3 commits this year and is there not alot of smoke that that the highest rated kid ends up at ND? YES OR NO. I hope the kid signs cause 2 commits aren't near enough, we will see. He hasnt proved that he can recruit stars or can get his recruits onto the field. That's literally the only points I care about bc that's all I said. Like always, GFY

It’s still his 3rd, Sampson was in his first class. It’s BK’s 4 class, Hankton came after the early signing period because of him being in the playoffs and winning a natty

Speaking of WRs, is Hankton EVER going to bring in a star WR? Every contributing WR this year is a transfer, thats a problem. This is his fourth class and he's brought in noone special and looks 50/50 on losing Meadows. How do you go 4 classes at LSU without a star at WR, FFS we have the best QB prospect in years committed, what else does he need?
I've been saying this.

TL;DR You're a dumbass for shitting on Hankton. It's obvious we are not offering the money the top WRs want, and they are choosing places who have not shown to develop NFL receivers over the top WR developing program in the nation.
HANKTON HAS ONLY TWO frickING CLASSES ON CAMPUS!
He brought in a total of 5 WRs, one had a big TD, then got hurt. One left after one year (this is after 2 guys got drafted first round and a 3rd posted nearly 600 yards and 7 TDs). That leaves you with 3.
2 of those 3 are fricking true freshman who have to develop. One was more track guy than receiver and the other was raw but shows great physical talent and ball skills.
That leaves you with one guy who should be doing something in Sampson. However like i said, not all guys develop at the same time. LSU already had Lacy, Anderson, and Hilton on campus. Before we got ANYBODY out of the portal, those 3 were projected to be the starting 3. Hilton being hurt automatically made CJ Daniels a starter.
You're shitting on a guy who Nabers and BTJ gave all the props to developing them. Even Jayden Daniels gave him props for helping him out. Mitchell and McConkey have Hankton to thank for their development and recruitment (well he didn't recruit McConkey, but did develop him his first two years at UGA). Anderson too has Hankton to thank. He might not get there, but Anderson has a legit shot to be a 1000 yard receiver in his first year starting. Kyren Lacy had zero big offers out of high school, yet he is projected to hit 1000 receiving in 13 games.

I don’t think you realize how much you are contradicting yourself. 2 years is enough time to give him all the credit for any success, yet it’s not enough time to blame him for any shortcomings…

The Wrs this year have under whelmed.
A is getting better but very small..Would ba great slot but not WR1.
Lacy has regressed, no separation , no speed and stupid penaltoes to kill momentum/drives.
Sampson is MIA
Watkins MIA
Billiott MIA
Hilton may as well portal now, no ability to run and jump
Hilton and Daniels when healthy are good WR 2/3 but not SEC 1.
Any way besides that whats he done this year? Got a big raise/paper title CO OC.

Check in on this thread to read about ST; end up seeing 80% of it is an argument over Hankton.

FIVE-STAR OL SOLOMON THOMAS WILL NOT SIGN WITH FLORIDA STATE.

JACKSONVILLE , FL
CLASS OF 2025
The social media post heard around the recruiting world is about a week old and it is still sitting with me. Solomon Thomas was never 100-percent rock-solid to Florida State despite his longstanding commitment, but Alex Atkins was one of the primary reasons he stuck on board so very long. While still there, Thomas is now fresh off of a visit to Florida where the Gators are looking to capitalize on head-turning momentum on the field and certainly on the recruiting trail. It could end up flipping multiple FSU commitments in the end, especially after Tramell Jones made the move on Sunday.
But there is another program very much at play here – LSU. Sources in the Sunshine State and well beyond agree that the Tigers have been involved as much as any program has over the last year, and now that FSU has opened the door with its staff movement, it could be Florida's opponent from Saturday that sits in the best position to complete the flip. Thomas has been rumored to elect to stay closer to home for college, so South Carolina is not to be overlooked in this type of race, but as a source in Tallahassee told Rivals over the weekend Thomas' departure from FSU seems "like a matter of time." Rivals forecasts Thomas in the SEC at the next level.

Dude has a legit chance to start day 1 here with Dellinger/Frazier gone and beating out Mubenga if it came to it should almost be a given

He needs to improve. I don’t think anyone is saying the WRs shouldn’t be better this year than they have been. But after the improvement we saw from our top producers last year (even Lacy down the stretch), you give him another season to see if he can get Sampson to turn the corner and Billiot and Watkins on the field and contributing. Parker was already there and looking good as a true freshman, and that shouldn’t be completely discounted just because he got hurt.
As with everything on tRant (and we all know that shite bleeds over to the RB), it’s all black and white. You’re amazing or you suck and need to be fired immediately. Nothing in-between exists.
