If you stop and think about it ,lsu isnt loaded with proven talent at wr. We dont have racey or gilbert . We have boutte ,kirklin, mooore, jenkins ,and palmer. The hope is that the guys coming in will be good enough to contribute this year.

We just signed 4 receivers, why in the world would we take another one?


We really signed 3 ,they recruited and signed bech as a tight end with a gilbert playing style.

It seems to be know that coach o saved a spot for him.not sure where that originated . Its true I'm sure,because of how highly rated he is.

Thomas is a 4 star and borderline 5 star that 247 has as the number 2 reciever in the country and the 3rd best prospect in Louisiana. Weve got the top 2 signed.

Its important that we get him because hes probably good enough to start or play a lot as a freshman. Were not as stacked at wr as one would think . We cant let bama or Aggie get him. He can go anywhere he wants ,that's the type player he is .

Besides boutte we have Jenkins koy Moore palmer and kirklin. That group without boutte isnt even In the top half of the sec.
With boutee were still behind a few teams in the sec at reciever talent

It'll be us or A&M. I hope he chooses us but if he picks A&M, we'll be just fine, especially with the WRs we have. Thomas would thrive in A&M. Guess we'll find out soon enough.

I agree our receiver room could use a talent like BTj, but it’s just not as important as OL for us and it’s definitely not worth an NCAA investigation.

He’s a very good player, but I’m not losing sleep over it. Hopefully we can make it work though.

Jenkins is going to be a beast next year. And you want a true freshman that hasn’t played a down of college level ball to come in and start immediately over him lol

I think Alabama is sitting third as well. Devonta Smith had to compete with Ruggs, Jeudy and Waddle most of his career. It worked out fine in the end but playing time would be easier at A&M for Brian.

Another factor favoring LSU is the amount of friends Brian has at LSU.

Landon Collins mom is a con. She knew he was picking Bama and she even got him a Bama birthday cake earlier that day. She posted that video on YouTube and when people started calling her out for her acting on tv she hurried and deleted it.

Deion Smith and Chris Hilton play over BTJ IMO

Thank you for saying that.

The only proven elite talent is boutte.

I think hilton and deion smith both have a chance to be elite.
I love nabers as a true number 2 receiver. Bech can be the same.

Thing is you take brian thomas jr.
Too good of a talent to pass up.

We aren't loaded at receiver like we were

You take BTJ over a random 3 star olineman any day dude. I’m glad you aren’t the one making personnel decisions.

Devonta Smith was a Freshman when he caught the game winning TD in the National Championship.

Looks like quite a few people have a handle on what Thomas is looking for.

Same. And I’m only counting on the 2 commits. I won’t be upset if we don’t get any others on NSD, and have 3 spots for portal transfers later or 2022.
