LSUDad Posted February 3, 2020 Author Share Posted February 3, 2020 Went to check, I copied and pasted, but the first report had the 19th, I thought that was odd. It is the 18th a Saturday. I will most times make the Spring Game, then make a LSU Baseball game after. That night after the game, LSU will host Arkansas. FYI Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted February 20, 2020 Author Share Posted February 20, 2020 Five LSU Football Players With the Most to Gain From Spring Practice 00:02 01:06 Glen West an hour ago When you lose the amount of starters that LSU did from its 2019 national championship squad, naturally there are going to be doubters. It comes with the territory of going 15-0 and running through most every opponent faced. LSU lost eight juniors to the 2020 NFL draft including running back Clyde Edwards-Helaire, wide receiver Justin Jefferson, outside linebacker K'Lavon Chaisson and safety Grant Delpit. Not only will those names to difficult to replace from a talent perspective but as leaders as well. So with spring practice now right around the corner, here are five players that can most benefit from a successful camp. Myles Brennan (junior quarterback) This one is a given and because of its importance can't be left off the list. Brennan has been patiently waiting for three years, first behind Danny Etling and then Joe Burrow. Now it's his time to prove he can lead this team and that starts by having a successful fall camp. Imagine if Brennan were to come in and light it up during the spring. It'd avoid an entire summer of offseason questions and be a huge weight lifted off of the coaching staff's shoulders. Brennan will be given every opportunity to win this job in the spring and coach Ed Orgeron said all he wants is for the junior to do his best. “He has sat patiently… him and his family,” Orgeron said. “They have believed in LSU. I told them we believe in Myles. Now it’s his time. We believe that he is very talented but there are some things that he has to get better at but Joe had to get better his first year too and continue to grow. Like I said before, all we want is the best Myles Brennan and that’s going to be good enough for us.” Orgeron brings up a good point. Following in Burrow's footsteps is an act very few can live up to. The pressure and expectations that come along with such a task could be overwhelming for most in his position. But that's something Brennan can control with a strong spring camp. His play will dictate what this offense under Steve Ensminger and Scott Linehan looks like and with all of the talent at the receiver position surrounding him, should have plenty of options in 2020. Trey Palmer (sophomore receiver) Palmer is in a unique spot after a freshman season that saw him appear in nine games and catch just one ball. With Jefferson now gone, there's an opening for a speedy receiver in the slot and Palmer is one of the first names that comes to mind. The sophomore will be competing in the spring alongside the likes of Racey McMath and Derrick Dillon and will want to assert himself from those guys as early as possible. This will likely be a position battle that goes into the fall as freshmen Kayshon Boutte, Koy Moore and Alex Adams will all want to prove their worth in the slot as well. But until those young guns arrive, if Palmer can distinguish himself next to Ja'Marr Chase and Terrace Marshall on the outside, it could make for a lethal combination come training camp. Chasen Hines (junior center) With not much in the way of depth on the offensive line, Hines will be asked to start the spring as the No. 1 center after the early departure of team captain Lloyd Cushenberry. Hines primarily competed for the starting left guard spot with Adrian Magee in 2019 and ultimately lost out to the senior. After that, Hines slid inside one more time to become the backup center behind Cushenberry. Hines had nearly a whole season to pick the brain of Cushenberry and it will be interesting to follow what kind of jump he makes this season. There's reason for concern at the center spot if Hines does struggle in spring. Orgeron has talked about adding a grad transfer to fill one of his remaining three spots in the 2020 recruiting class. Orgeron could opt for this option regardless as the team could use more depth on the offensive line. Another option could be to stick one of the incoming freshmen like Marlon Martinez or Xavier Hill to compete with Hines. With neither of those guys on campus at the moment the more likely route is that Orgeron finds somebody competent in the transfer portal. Siaki "Apu" Ika (sophomore nose tackle) With LSU officially making the switch to a 4-3 defense, it opens up an extra spot for a big guy on the defensive line. Tyler Shelvin will undoubtedly take one of the spots as LSU's best returning defensive lineman. Ika is someone widely believed to have the upper leg at the other nose tackle spot but needs to prove himself first. Ika played behind Shelvin a good portion of last season but is a player Orgeron is very bullish on for his size (6-foot-4, 354-pounds). LSU has a slew of freshmen coming in with the 2020 class including Jaquelin Roy, Jacobian Guillory and Eric Taylor, all four-star defensive linemen that will be jostling for playing time one on campus. A successful camp from Ika could put those freshman in a position where they're fighting for backup snaps. Todd Harris (senior safety) Harris lasted just two games into the 2019 season after suffering a season ending knee injury in a win over Northwestern State. His presence was felt most of last season as LSU had to plug Delpit at deep safety, keeping him from playing close to the line of scrimmage. ADVERTISING With Harris now back in the fold, LSU is deep with depth at safety. Maurice Hampton Jr, who spent the end of last year as a starter in Harris' role, played well and is expecting a big year two jump in his game. Sophomore Marcel Brooks is also reportedly making the move back to safety after giving outside linebacker a go in 2019. Brooks told the Athletic that his new role can best be described as a safety that rushes on third down, much like JaCoby Stevens did in 2019. Harris will have to prove in the spring that his knee injury didn't cost him a step. If he doesn't assert himself while Hampton is playing baseball and Brooks is picking up the position again, it could be a long summer of questions at the deep safety spot. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted March 3, 2020 Author Share Posted March 3, 2020 Things to watch for in the Spring... LSU Football Moving Joseph Evans to Center, Coach Ed Orgeron Talks Spring Practice Multiple players already asserting themselves as leaders on the field By Glen West , UPDATED: Mar 3, 2020 | ORIGINAL: Mar 3, 2020 It's March which means that for LSU, spring football is right around the corner for the defending national champs. On Wednesday, coach Ed Orgeron joined Baton Rouge radio show "Off the Bench"to talk all things LSU football as the Tigers will officially hit the field for the first time in the 2020 season on Saturday Spring ball is meant for tinkering with different positions and Orgeron dropped a few nuggets on one particular player that will be switching positions for the 2020 season. One of the decisions Orgeron said the Tigers decide to make was move defensive lineman Joseph Evans to center. Evans, a 6-foot-2, 288-pound lineman, played both offensive and defensive line at a high level in high school and hopes it can be a smooth transition for the sophomore. Evans provides more depth to a center position that lost veteran leader Lloyd Cushenberry to the NFL draft. "When we recruited him out of Haynesville, he was a very good two way player, he could explode out of his hips so we moved him to center," Orgeron said. "We have Chasen at center but Joe's right behind him ad is going to compete with him." Along with Evans, Chasen Hines and Anthony Bradford will be competing for snaps in the spring with Hines having the clear advantage after spending most of the 2019 season as a backup to Cushenberry. The running back position is another one that's up in the air as the Tigers currently have three guys--John Emery, Tyrion Davis-Price and Chris Curry--competing for snaps. At the moment, Orgeron said he considers all three backs starters and will use the spring to see if any can separate themselves above the rest. One of the elements of the offense the Tigers want to continue to do is throw the ball out of the backfield and Orgeron believes that's an area all three backs could improve on this spring. "All three of those guys are a little bit different, we're going to play all three of them and we're excited about them," Orgeron said. "Chris Curry really showed me a lot about his tenacity and perseverance when he played against Oklahoma. He's becoming the running back we know he can be, Tyrion Davis is a force and John Emery has improved on the things he needed to work on. It'll be a great spring for those guys." The new man leading that group, Kevin Faulk, was promoted to running backs coach just over a week ago and Orgeron gave his thoughts on the move and how Faulk has done in his new role. "Homerun hire," Orgeron said. "From his first day, we have a list of guys we invited for junior day and he was 100% on his guys attending junior day. He'll do a tremendous job for us in recruiting, the team gave him a standing ovation when we named him running backs coach. It's great for the state of Louisiana, great for LSU. Kevin's a force." LSU also wrapped up its "Fourth Quarter" program recently, a string of preliminary workouts that sets the table for what spring ball will look like. Orgeron said one of the biggest revelations that came out of that series of workouts was the emergence of different players from a leadership standpoint. "Guys like Myles Brennan, Andre Anthony, JaCoby Stevens, Damone Clark, Tyler Shelvin is doing a fantastic job and then the offensive line because those guys have got to come together," Orgeron said. "Ja'Marr Chase is doing some leadership, he's looked fantastic out there. We've got a good group but we've got to have guys step up and continue to lead throughout the spring." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted March 3, 2020 Share Posted March 3, 2020 Leadership is HUGE. Myles Brennan needs to be a leader because the QB always needs to be a leader. When he calls a play, people need to believe he can execute it. JaCoby Stevens is pretty easy to see he will be a leader. His play speaks for itself, and he'll be a senior who came back. Damone Clark has lots of experience since he played when Divinity was out (which was a lot). Tyler Shelvin, the d-line needs a leader and they lost theirs in Rashard Lawrence. Tyler is the logical choice, if he has the personality to do it, and I hope he does. Chase, yea, that's obvious, he's the Biletnikoff winner, he has credibility. Andre Anthony, I don't know well. There is a legend about Vince Young at TX going into their championship year, they played Ohio St. the second week of the season, away game. During the summer, VY said in the locker room, "everyone that wants to beat Ohio St., meet me on the practice field at 7 PM". Everyone showed up, every time VY said he was having practice. They said nobody could deny VY, he was that highly thought of. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted March 5, 2020 Author Share Posted March 5, 2020 LSU grows stronger at QB with incoming freshman Max Johnson in the fold Crissy Froyd March 3, 2020 ADVERTISEMENT We already know that Myles Brennan is the frontrunner at quarterback for LSU with Joe Burrow’s departure, but what about incoming freshman Max Johnson? Things didn’t exactly go as planned when Brennan was expected to be the starter last season, and as coach Ed Orgeron said, there will be a competition between the two, T.J. Finley and Peter Parrish. Max is the son of former Super Bowl winning quarterback Brad Johnson and nephew of Miami Hurricanes and Georgia Bulldogs coach Mark Richt. This strong NFL background has shown in the four-star recruit’s career 5,140 passing yards and 47 touchdowns, along with 14 touchdowns on the ground. As the stats sheet reflects, the 6-foot-4, 216-pounder presents a threat to opposing defenses both in the air and on the ground. He’s also shown an ability to escape pressure and extend plays to move the chains in unlikely situations — much like we saw Burrow do in his two seasons with the Tigers. He’s not the only exciting LSU player to come out of Oconee, as former LSU quarterback Zach Mettenberger also played there before starting his college career at Georgia. Mettenberger told us last week that he wasn’t involved in pushing Johnson to LSU, and hasn’t been in contact with the prospect or his father. It could be years before Johnson sees the field for the Tigers, or it could come sooner than we think, but he’s certainly one to keep an eye on as LSU continues to recruit at a high level at the position. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
