So you listened to Ruffino…

And do some of you realize there are 5 months until kickoff? Cooley had like what…3 months of learning a new system? I don’t know how some of you make it through the day with constant worrying

Guess LSU really did need that playoff Safety everyone was hollering about a few months ago

Looks solid, I think we should go for it.

I think Cooley will be fine. Sometimes it takes guys time to adjust to a new system and environment.

I still think it's a no-brainer to go after Haulcy.

I haven't seen anything from Cooley to suggest he's a sec level safety. Great nickel, but not a traditional safety.

The Houston area is a hot bed, they are building a 6A school every year!

You’re so tough if you would’ve listened to any practice report you’d know. Toviano looked bad, Cooley didn’t look terrible but not really noteworthy, Rogers was okay. Spears is the only one people were saying had a good spring. You’d have to be an idiot (which I wouldn’t be shocked at) to think they’re fine at safety right now.


I agree with this. Cooley looks tiny and just ok. Plus he isn't a deep safety.

Haha listen to a practice report by who Ruffino, Doucet, or another media member that has no clue? Imagine thinking the media has more knowledge than the coaches. Dumbass.

LSU really should pursue this guy. They need another legit S and another legit OL somewhere. Personally not convinced C is going to get it done. Don't know if we have anything big in the portal there. Neither S or OL looked good in spring.

So the top Center in the portal from VT ain’t cutting it?


I’m losing more and more confidence in the portal by the day. Hell even the top ranked portal players aren’t even any good apparently.

How does Houston have better DBs than LSU
Kelly not immediately retaining Raymond was a huge mistake and honestly may have cost him a national title in 2023

Im okay with them not getting a DT if they land this guy. But I have a strong feeling Kelly might actually think this roster is set & there isn’t anybody worth the money bringing in.

Safety and DT are our biggest needs. Go get this kid.

6' 215 is pretty stout for a safety

It's hard to tell from the practice clips but I think they will be good at center between him and Chester.

Moore is much shorter and stouter than Chester. If he can hold up physically he will probably win the job.
I get the feeling they like Chester too though.
