-Very unfortunate for Myles. He had a great spring and summer and he's getting our prayers this morning. hasn't talked to him yet.

-Myles is such a competitor and what's the timeline to finish his career at LSU

-Max is the starter and has to have a great camp. Garrett has to step up and has to learn the offense and take care of the football. Bad picks in the spring game.

-Have to keep Max healthy. Max makes plays with his feet. have to be careful of how they use him moving forward.

-Conversation with Nuss is that he is the next man up. You never know when your time is going to come. Injuries and things happen

-Two days from players reporting. Camp starts on the 6th. Now with no QB battle it's the LT position that's up for grabs

-Cam Wire will start but who is going to be the next one going in? Anthony Bradford or Garrett Dellenger?

-Boutte is WR #1 but who is the next guy? Jaray Jenkins and Jontre Kirklin, Devonta Lee and Trey Palmer returning.

-Young guys like Brian Thomas Jr and Chris Hilton, Malik Nabors and Jack Bech have the opportunity to play right away

-Hester talked to Mike Jones Jr and he wants to prove that he can play MLB in the SEC. O emphatically says "Hell yeah" he's 6'0 220

-Looking at LB board Damone Clark, Micah Baskerville, Bugg Strong, Josh White lots of talented linebackers

-O is really ready to get to camp. Time to build a championship team

-Looking at the defensive line. Looking for depth and development. Mason Smith and Bryce Langston are ready to compete. Joe Evans was the best interior guy coming out of the spring. Roy is in the best shape that he's been in

-Ali Gaye is set for a great year

-RB room needs to step up. Believes that the upper classman are ready for a breakout year. The young backs are in great shape. We have to run the ball and be physical.

-Camp schedule is to grind grind grind. Fundamentals. Not worried about the first game. Execution is the key for camp.

-When Hester visits he always sees guys on the field practicing. Everyone coming back shows that the team is committed.

-Peetz and Daronte Jones on the 3rd back from vacation are ready for competition. Different attitude with the defense and they have something to prove and they're embarrassed from last season. More zone and more attacking.

-Invited the guys to camp. All the ex players everyone is welcome and love to have them.

Are we expecting nothing from Koy Moore this year? I thought he finished strong last year and he seems to have a good working relationship with Max. I remember him and Max talking a lot after possessions on the sideline vs Florida.

Bryce Langston


O keeps mentioning Langston's name. When he committed I said at the time if recruiting were the NFL draft Langston would be the steal of the draft. He was a high four star but dropped due to grades. Happy he got is grades in order. Good for him and good for us. He is a physical specimen. He is big boned athlete. The guy has natural genetic strength and size.

Than you sir!

We have a good group of Seniors and 18 starters returning.

A talented Sophomore class and a great looking group of Freshmen coming in.

This should be an exciting season!!

COACH O, READY TO GO!
READY FOR SOME ENERGY DRINKS AND OFFENSIVE EXPLOSIONS!
READY FOR SOME DISRUPTIVE DEFENSE AND TAKEAWAYS!

Devonta Lee


So he is going to be a WR? I've also seen him mentioned in the TE role like Jack Bech?

No Deion Smith mentioned. Interesting. I think he was involved in the spring game offense wasn't he?

Zone? Wasn’t it the zone that had the secondary so confused last season?

I think Maason Smith comes in early on 3rd downs in UCLA game. He needs to be on the field.

I appreciate this. I usually get to listen on Tuesdays, but wasn't able to do so today.

Damn I just hate it for Brennan. Max is certainly more than capable but I was looking forward to the competition
