All of this is spot on. They actually won the tournament in Oregon against some pretty good teams. Beat St Mary’s out of Arizona who had a Duke commit. Hudson played great all week.

Don’t believe all the Nebraska rumors about money and jobs for family.

More physical and more dominant player than TG. TG is faster. Both great players and both could be weapons.

He was all LSU up until they hire LK. Nothing against LK, but he was one of the few coaches who didn’t go for AH playing both sports at Ole Miss. That could certainly change now that he’s at LSU, but as it stands today he won’t be at LSU. He has his mind set on playing both sports in college.

While he can dominate in basketball, his future is in football if he doesn’t grow another 2-3 inches.

I actually thought this was you making a case to hire Blake Baker. That would have made more sense from your post.

He was always a QB prior to moving positions due to being young with a junior/senior the last 2 years. Will they take a look at him there again or keep him at WR/TE?

Its not likely. They have a QB who is better than people realize. He's played a lot of snaps the last two years. I expect him to remain at TE and catch a lot of balls this year.

I realize that Kyle has no experience coaching college ball, and I know that college and the NFL aren’t the same, but consider this expert from an article about NFL coaching hires over the last 10 years.

But many NFL owners are still inclined to search for The Next Sean McVay -- the rising young coach who could solidify the pivotal franchise role for a decade or more. In the seven cycles since the Rams hired McVay in 2017, nearly half of all head-coaching hires leaguewide (24 of 50, 48%) have come from the same demographic -- under age 45 with no previous NFL head-coaching experience -- including Brian Callahan (Titans), Dave Canales (Panthers), Mike Macdonald (Seahawks) and Jerod Mayo (Patriots) this past offseason. (A fifth, Raiders coach Antonio Pierce, had just turned 45 when he took over on an interim basis during the 2023 season.)

Since 2013, 49/72 head coaches hired were rookie head coaches with no NFL head coach experience. Of those, 3 were hired with ZERO NFL coaching experience.

So why do people assume that he will fail without college experience? Coaching is coaching, and the ones who have it, have it. Kyle Williams has it. If the NFL doesn’t have a problem hiring a HC with no experience, then I have no problem hiring a DL coach with no college experience. If the man can coach, that’s all that matters.

I’ve known Kyle for a long time. I’ve seen what he has helped build at Ruston. I’ve seen him coach and communicate with his players. I’ve seen him counsel them, coach them, and mentor them. He does a tremendous job building relationships. He’s as down to earth as they come. He will be very successful in everything he decides to do in life because of his work ethic.

So let’s pumped the brakes on the fact that he’s going to suck because he doesn’t have experience, and just see how it plays out. BK isn’t in the business of trying to get worse, he’s trying to get better.

The next QB is a better passer than the current QB. Hudson will put up some big numbers the next two years playing with him.

I had a chance to see this kid play against Ruston last week. He was unbelievable. He gave Ruston fits all night long. He played both inside and outside along the DL. He looked great at both spots. I figured he would get tired by the end of the game. He was still going strong in the fourth quarter. He is going to be a really good player of he continues to improve the next year and a half. They even ran a fake punt with him.

They forced Ruston to beat them through that air. It almost worked. Ruston escaped with a 22-21 win.

Who attends Ruston that used to go to West Monroe?

Aidan is such a great kid. Just a natural leader. He was very close to committing to Texas a few months ago. Many people still felt like Texas was the school to beat. He really liked it in Austin. Great job by LSU in staying on him until the very end.

As many have said, he’s going to be a big riser this year in the rankings. He will get more opportunities at returning kicks, and he will see snaps on offense at receiver. This will demonstrate his athleticism and will help his ranking.

Also, Lester is 100% correct. His little brother is a sophomore and will start at FS for Ruston. He will be a high level recruit as well. Don’t be surprised if he is better than Aidan.

Judge Clement is the stepmother of former LSU DE Chase Clement. She is married to his father. Just a side note to all of this.
