Hard to describe the feeling I have now since Saban is gone, but this comes close:

NFL All Pro Justin Jefferson had offers from Nicholls State, Northwestern and Tulane I think?

All Pro DE Khalil Mack had 1 scholarship offer from the University of New York(Buffalo)out of HS.

Foster Moreau was offered by Tulane, La Tech & ULL.

NY Giants All Pro DT Damon Harrison received 0 scholarship offers out of HS.

5x All Pro Antonio Brown had 1 scholarship offer out of HS.

Arizona Cardinals All-Pro running back David Johnson only had offers from Illinois State & Northern Iowa out of HS

Josh Williams was offered by CSU-Pueblo & Drake.

Aaron Rodgers & Philip Rivers each had 1 offer out of HS.

Lane Johnson, All Pro OT for the Eagles, went to Kilgore C.C. with one offer out of HS.

Super Bowl Champion Carson Wentz had 1 offer from N. Dakota St. out of HS.

Stetson Bennett was offered by Columbia, Georgia Southern, & Mercer.

Demarcus Lawrence, Dallas Cowboy 3x Pro Bowl DE, didn't have a single offer out of High School.

I could go on & on.. You never know for certain. Let's wait and see before we judge..

We got Blake Baker! Gonna be a good coach!

I'm sure their locker attitudes will be a thing of beauty.

That'll be baker and staffs biggest hurdle.

I don't really call this a hurdle. It's his primary job and I think he'll do it well.

I caught on to Burns being soft and slow at processing the game several years ago. I’m not trying to crap on the kid, but he is NOT LSU starter level and never has been. He should be nothing but a backup. And it’s disconcerting the trend we see of coaches in recent years elevating players that we’ve seen do nothing but be a liability on the field for years, to crowing about them being “leaders” and the best of our players. Just because of their seniority on the team, not because of talent or ability. I understand how coaches want to portray senior players as pillars of the team to help their draft status as much as possible… but it’s disingenuous.

Truth is, Burns is not light enough on his feet to recover and make a solid tackle after he overcommits and gets put on skates. When he does make contact, it isn’t solid most of the time, he has trouble diagnosing plays and knowing where he needs to be, he sucks in coverage and tries to compensate by keeping space between him and receivers - all that does is create easy completions. RARELY do we see him being confident enough to jump a route. When he does, his instincts are usually wrong and he ends up getting burned. Also he’s not fast, violent, or maneuverable enough to cause QBs to hesitate to throw into tight windows or RBs to stutter step and lose momentum. They just run right through him.

Again, Im just making an honest assessment of what I’ve seen. Got nothing against him. Just know he doesn’t belong as a starter or especially a star player. And if he’s the best we got, our D is TRULY trash (it is).
