I remember thinking Clifton Garrett was going to be an All-American at linebacker. edit: Not necessarily a miss considering we landed him, but didn’t pan out.


Had a class with him my sophomore year in 2014. We had a group project together, it was around NFL draft time in the spring.

Asked him if he was going to watch the draft that night, he said “Nah, I’m not really interested in that”, then started talking about what spots in Tiger land he was going to hit up…

Cool guy… he did not give a single frick about football, & hated how hot it was down here(he played HS ball up north) he came for the clout and the southern women

Colin Simmons is pretty damn good, though I'm not sure how close we were to landing him.

I remember that whole saga with Rueben Randle and Deangelo Benton.

Not sure how hard LSU recruited them but Davonte Smith & Christian Harris ( might not be the right name but the LB from Southern Lab) were two of the ones that actually panned out. It is actually impressive how many dudes turned out to be shite though.
