He could be Lanes first 1st Rd WR in 2028

But is a top 2 rd pick at this pace in the 27’ draft.

I saw at least one. Trey’Dez is also an outlier to tackle. I’m not sure it was intentional, but it is damgerous nonetheless.

+ Amari Rodgers, 3rd rd pick

The talent faced is not even really comparable.

Teams are completing 76% of their passes vs Pickett in zone & they the best 3 teams in passing efficiency they have faced are (Kentucky 42, Ole Miss 68, Auburn 97th). :lol:

I love Pickett, but he’s more of an A tier guy than S tier. An elite Jr season could change that of course.

Greedy Williams’ 2017 season was elite & goes toe to toe with any singular season in school history.

He was just ‘good’ in 18’ and had a little regression, which was natural cause his RS Fr season in 17’ was so good.
I watched the extended highlights.

Dent looks like your Tremont Waters type player. I'd be surprised if he didnt lead the team in scoring.

Clark looks like a viable 2nd option. Was surprised how chubby Clark is but he moves well.

Bashir can really shoot.

Ruzic looks to be the 4th guy. Really impressed with his movement and skill.

Diobate and Niang were not impressive at all in this game.

Tre White and Delane were better simply because they were more experienced and better coached.


Nope. Delane was awesome last year, but again, benefited from an even worse passing league than we are seeing this year in the SEC.


Tre White was good, even great at times, but it is not difficult to find better corners. Greedy Williams, for example, had a better year in 2017 after White left. He was awesome. Kristian Fulton, in 2019, was at least as good.
You go find the movie board :ahh:

That’s fine. And you’re wrong.

You also made up that Stingley wasn’t good in zone earlier in the week. I’m not discrediting Pickett at all. Posting facts is not discrediting. Making up things is.

Pickett is good, maybe even great by the time he leaves here. He isn’t Derek Stingley

No need to tear Stingley down

don’t get the need to tear him down.


Me saying he isn’t better than the most talented CB in lsu history and a future HOF’er isn’t tearing him down. I like Pickett a lot. He just isn’t in that tier

Delane wasn’t a slouch.


Neither compare to Stingley & the competition he faced in 19-20’. Stingley’s ball skills are incredible and we’ve seen Pickett drop 2-3 this year.

The SEC has seen an overcorrection with the dual threat QBs. The passing games in the SEC are absolutely atrocious to what Stingley saw in 2019.

LSU has faced the two bottom ranked QBs in the SEC by QB rating (Reed & Brown), and got a layup with Kamario Taylor’s backup. Minchey is dink & dunk machine ranking last in average depth or target.

Especially if you think most of them were just supposed to be practice depth.


Out of 9, they needed to find 4-5 solid regulars and they got about 2.5

It’s fine, esp when TreyDez is on the field too.
quote:

So did you think all 9 were going to be studs right away?



Nope. I think most people assumed they'd play 4-6 regularly and the most were practice depth.




quote:

It’s not a normal year. We're replacing Kelly's and Hankton's and Sloan's misses. And they've been pretty good all around.



My post wasn't meant to be hateful or an indictment of the future. I just think you shouldnt assume it will always be turnkey.

Had you told anyone in August that Jayce Brown couldnt get on the field and Watkins and Wilson were t3rd in the SEC in drops, you probably would have been laughed at.
quote:

Tbh, this board used to give Wilson an annual blowjob



Yep. Very very recently, too.

not sure, i havent went through it. A lot of big names throw 'likes' though

Our top four WR by far are portal guys--five if you count Mothershed as a WR.


They took 9; so by default, the top WR's on team statistically are going to be from the portal.

If this were a normal year at WR, only Jackson Harris and Watkins would see the field.
This would have been the 3rd hardest hit ball in the MLB this season :lol:

We'll just reload in the off-season. There's a few positions that LSU will always be okay at. WR is one of them,


The hit rate on portal WRs this year has been poor.
