Yeah, not surprising at all. Just a relief that it's actually official. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LB Webb and OT Dumervil were not verbally committed to LSU, but were generally considered "leans" to LSU and both signed. While not exactly a surprise, I consider it "very good news" that did not have to go that way. The other wild card is Burch, announcing soon, not a verbal to LSU.

LSUDad Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 LSU officially inks nation's No. 1 tight end recruit out of Georgia Keith Farner | 1 hour ago One day after he was named the Gatorade National Player of the Year, Arik Gilbert of Marietta, Georgia made it official and signed with LSU. Atlanta Falcons QB Matt Ryan surprised Gilbert with the award in front of family, friends, teammates and coaches at his school, and Gilbert was visibly shocked to see Ryan. Gilbert is the top-ranked tight end recruit in the country, and committed to LSU in October as the Tigers reportedly beat out Alabama and Georgia. 00:22 The award covers athletic, academic and character accomplishes for the high school athletes. Gilbert topped the list of 51 state winners in football, including 9 All-American Bowl Game participants, 27 All-State players, 7 SEC school committees and nearly all volunteering with at least two organizations. The 6-foot-5, 255-pounder led the Blue Devils to a 13-2 record and the Class 7A State Championship. Gilbert caught 102 passes for 1,735 yards and 14 touchdowns through 15 games. The founder of a campus-wide initiative called “Whisper,” which urges students to have device-free conversations and supports diversity and inclusion efforts, Gilbert has also volunteered on behalf of the East Atlanta Kids Club, Habitat for Humanity and March of Dimes. A parishioner at the Life Revolution Church, Gilbert has also donated more than 50 hours to Marietta elementary schools and the Marietta Youth Football program. “Arik Gilbert is one of the best players I’ve ever coached against,” said John Reid, head coach at Rome High School. “He’s huge, fast and has great hands. He’s the best player on the field at any position he lines up.” LSU Football ✔@LSUfootball Hold That Tiger Arik Gilbert, the Gatorade National Player of the Year, is Callin' Baton Rouge #GeauxTigers 1,034 11:29 AM - Dec 18, 2019 Twitter Ads info and privacy 244 people are talking about this Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted December 18, 2019 Author Share Posted December 18, 2019 OK, regarding Rak Jarrett. He's been saying his school wouldn't let him sign today, had to wait til February. Clearly that was a lie, and the LSU coaches knew it. LSU pressed him to sign today knowing he could, and he said no. When that happened, LSU coaches said "dueces", and he was left with Maryland. (Just another theory) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not good. Still holding out hope for Burton but the coaches are having to work their asses off today for a kid that last night said he was in. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burton did the same thing. And regarding the 5-5, I'm not upset about who chose to go elsewhere. That's their decision and LSU will be fine with those that choose NOT to be Tigers. But it's a little disconcerting that there are actually guys that wanted to be Tigers that were advised to look elsewhere because we had bigger fish to fry. And now we're still fishing for those bigger fish lol. No big deal I guess, but it's a real thing when a guy like Major Burns is advised to look elsewhere and we don't actually land those "bigger fish". 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So many were down when Joe McKnight went to USC, we came out good on that one also. Right now, LSU is in a spot that we have never been in, TOP DOG. When was the last time LSU Football was in this spot? How about never. When kids start playing games, odds are, you are better off without them. We are in a better spot than I can ever remember. One LSU Coach use to say, don't worry about the ones you missed, worry about the ones you got. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They wanted to be Tigers and were advised to look elsewhere. I agree about those playing games like Burton and Rak. Let em go.

LSUDad Posted December 18, 2019 Share Posted December 18, 2019 We knew this was going to be a numbers game, I get what you are saying. When 30 are more players are wanting to get in, you are at a limit with numbers, something got to give. I see an upgrade at most positions of need.
