The Fence is Still Up

Posted by kingsdokingthings on 7/30/18 at 8:07 am

Even with the pipeline to Tuscaloosa, the fence is still up around Louisiana. With John Emery's commitment, I thought about in-state players, WHO LSU RECRUITED, that committed to other SEC schools in recent history. While Alabama has consistently pulled top talent from the state, I could only ...

re: Does anybody else believe in our LB core?

Posted by kingsdokingthings on 7/19/18 at 11:05 am

Our LB strength is an indictment on Chavis. As good as of an in-game coach as he was, he was a sub-par recruiter especially at the LB position. He thought Kenny Young was too fat, didn't offer Debo until the 11th hour, and targeted guys like Ronnie Feist. DA took over a depleted LB position a...

A couple of interesting tidbits: - WW noticed early on in the season that the three guard lineup wasn't going to fly and that they needed a 6'6, athletic, "SEC" wing player. Coaches identified Marlon Taylor early on and had been recruiting him for some time. Said it was convenient, with him bei...

Agreed, for the most part. Sims will get minutes next year. He's relatively versatile and can switch on ball screens. He's also continued to improve. Hopefully he can develop a mid-range jump shot this offseason. Sampson, on the other hand, I don't see where he can find minutes next year....
