re: The LSU has too many WR's misnomer...

3 in the top ~200

2 other 3*

Will be huge if Kardell fully recovers and plays to potential.

Any team at most is going to use 4 WRs consistently with a fifth as change up. Usually a TE or RB, or both is including in the top 5 pass catchers for the vast majority of teams yearly outside of a Leach air raid.

10 WRs is a lot of WRs man. We have 9 pass catchers with 9 or more catches, and everybody else has 5 or less. Of those 9, 5 are WRs. Do you see where I'm going with this?

LSU will sign two more O-lineman in my opinion. Dumervil and Xavier Hill, OG/C.

This is true - if you are gonna pass every single down. LSU will always try to run the ball as well. CEH’s success in the ground has helped us win big games. And it is the improved OL play that makes that happen.

We can not just forsake our running game - thinking that any old mediocre lineman is good enough to hold a block for 2 seconds

Add in another 1 or 2 top out of state WR's that are going to want in. WE don't need 4 WR's in this years class.

you don't just recruit for next year. you factor 2 and 3 year cycles. This includes graduation, early NFL departure, transfers and development. Assuming they lose Sullivan and Dillon to graduation, Jefferson to the NFL and possibly one or two transfers, they could be down to 5 or 6 returning. Only Marsahll and Chase are prven, possibly MCmath.

If you wait and sign 5 or 6 next year , you hope they will be as highly decorated as this year's group, but these are the birds in the hand who will likely pan out . Otherwise you will have a repeat of the 2018 where 80% of your receivers are adjusting to the college game.

This staff knows what they want and what they need so lets just trust them and stop giving your recruiting advice on how they should manage the process. If tehy under recruit a position ther will be enough firpower to just out score the other team on skill position alone.

Still hear rumblings they have not given up on Van Pran. Might be that signing day surprise.

Yeah, but quite a few are developing, and some just don’t pan out. Look at it this way, there are 85 scholarships, with maybe four going to specialists, So 81 for 22 positions, or 3.68 per position. If we average three WR per play, multiplied by 3,68, we get the correct number of wideouts on the team is 11. If anything, 10 is too few,

just for next season, as it stands now, we will have Chase, Marshall, Palmer, Moss, and adding in Burton, Jarret, Moore, Boutte, and Gilbert; also McMath, Jenkins, and Kirklin. That is 12 right there. Then there are at least 3 in state in 2021 that are just way to good to pass up, plus no telling what other very highly rated out of state WR's that are going to want to be part of the 2021 class. We are going to have a glut of WR's (and pass catching TE's)

---

You need to stop worrying about the 2021 class. Chase and Marshall will likely go pro, Moss will be out of eligibility, and there will likely be other attrition along the way.

To put it into perspective, we signed 4 WRs in 2017 and we signed 4 again in 2018. Those numbers do not include the TEs or RBs we split out at times. That’s why we have the luxury, today, of a receiving corps that includes Jefferson, Chase, and Marshall on the field at the same time. If you want to go 4- and 5-wide with elite talent at multiple spots, you have to keep the numbers up.

if you sign 25 recruits per year and with 22 starters on O and D then you should average 5 OL per class. We signed 3 in last years class not counting Turner and Parker who dont look like they will ever contibute on the OL. Right now we have zero OL's committed who arent longshot prospects.
