Are we still hoping for a flip on NSD or has that ship sailed?

Auburn insiders claimed we have fallen back. Tennessee and UGA have stepped up I guess. We honestly need d-linemen. Pickens is amazing, but if we somehow managed some d-line flips I’d be fine not getting him.

Don't really need anymore receivers in this class. Its all about the DL now.

Looking like we likely won't be waiting around to see if he qualifies.

2-3 DL and Devonta Lee

I kinda think it will end up being The Sopsher brothers, Devonta Lee, and probably Jay Ward/Christian Williams.

Would be great if we could add one of those MS DL guys to go with the Sopshers.

Good. We already have 1 were waiting on plus Hampton and the "lost" Sopsher ship. That would be 3 ships burned if Parker fails to qualify, Hampton goes MLB and Rodney blows. That's quite a hit.

From what I understand as told, Parker will qualify, however if we land a bigger fish at OT before signing day, we could pass on him.

Are we in on other big OT at this point?

You mean, a transfer OT?

Would prefer a freshman. All this being said, I'll be surprised if it isn't Parker.

Interesting. Thanks. Is it because he wants to play TE or have we softened on him as an OT?

What was the thinking on the Pickens thing?
Thought they were wanting to wait a little longer on his grades, did they just decide other positions were more important?

Shouldn't they have known this a week or two ago when they were still waiting

He does still have some ambition to play TE, but would come to LSU regardless of where we play him. The real reason he didn't sign in December wasn't just about grades. It's not something I care to air publicly because it's his personal business and not mine, but he was dealing with some other issues at the time, too.

He’s going to Tennessee, watch.

He’s not going to go there. He’ll be a true Tackle. Tennessee is getting Morris, and Wright. He would also rather play at LSU than Ten.

So if Parker goes, what do we do with his spot? Another DL?

Tennessee is loading up on offensive line. They already got a top kid for the 20 class as well.
