"Sorry, but this guy screams DJ Welker". This is so typical of The Rant. There are only a few acceptable positions for white players: QB, TE, Kicking specialists and some OL others need not apply according to some on this board. How about giving them all a shot and just look at the color of the Jersey.

Emphatically, this.

A coach that can see potential and heart and can develop it can win National Championships. Also, players like this more often than not have a better team attitude and stick around longer.

Anyone can see a five- star player and it's nice to have a few, but they usually come at a price. Prima donna syndrome, island-hoppers, bad attitudes, etc.

Let's hope that Brian Kelly is that type of coach - I think he may be.

Can you link this tape


Hudl senior highlights

He’s athletic for sure. Don’t have any confirmed testing numbers tho.

Played OLB majority in high school. Played some wildcat QB and caught plenty of balls from Max his junior year. So he’s played all over the field.

Someone mentioned Jabril Cox, and I can see that.

One extreme to the other eh?

He’s probably not an all American or as bad as the last white linebacker (that got playing time) at lsu.

Looks as good as Tackett Curtis to me and He's ranked way higher nationally next year because of why? They look and play very similar on film and if he had committed this board would be ecstatic...

I haven't "watched tape" on Weeks, but consider that he was part of the 2020 class and there weren't camps that year, so a lot of guys probably got locked into a ranking and there wasn't as much opportunity to climb. I'd take 2020 recruiting rankings with block of salt.

Dude is extremely athletic.

I just don't think he has the size yet. Probably will backup this year.

Maybe he will play nickel backer to start and gain the extra size.

He didn’t jump off the tape. He did well. But there is a reason Ole Miss may have been his best offer.

I don't think so.

He is probably 212-215.

No way is he as big as mike jones jr or baskerville.

No idea

Does that mean LSU can never have a good white LB?
