I feel like the staff is doing a good job of targeting the athletes and types of players we want to build with and doing a good job of getting them to believe in what we are trying to do here.

After 2 more years this kid is gonna be a beast…he’s kind of a beast already. Great pick up!

Great pickup!

Does this weekend mean LSU is officially in the NIL game?

I haven't watched a High School game in decades but I'll watch that Jonesboro-Hodge vs Many if streaming somewhere.

I'm gonna guess that with this run of commitments, that is probably the beginning to the LSU NIL system
Notice it's just a few weeks after JBE signed the law

He lead the nation in tackles last year. I have seen him practicing and play. Kid is cat quick! If he continues to develop he will be a beast. He plays at a small 2A school who’s last big deal football player was Charles Scott. As a freshman he was fastest guy on team.

Looks like Demone Clark. Possibly quicker than him but just as physical. Been saying LSU was fine. We don’t and never had a problem recruiting the state. It’s simply timing and the nonsense about O is just chatter too. O didn’t have the confidence of our boosters anymore but Louisiana HS still likes the man.

Anyway congrats Mr. Atkins! Welcome to LSU nation!

Are we still in mourning over Tacky Curtains?

Burned some tape on Atkins this morning.

Deebo is a fitting nickname, as he reminds me a lot of former Jesuit standout Deion Jones. Range-athletic-thump.

Except Soph Atkins looks like Senior Deion Jones.

Can’t wait to see what this kid looks like as a Sr. Coming in at around 215-220. Will be a monster

Wow and I mean I'm sure there's more complex and legit way to answer that question although it is rhetorical but the easiest way I could think of it is they told him "see ball-get ball"
