houtiger Posted April 6, 2020 Share Posted April 6, 2020 (edited) Rules, you can only pick one. He may have played a little last year, or be an incoming freshman. I'll pick one I don't think most of you would pick, but I hope to see Kardell Thomas at offensive guard out there a lot and contribute a lot. He came in pretty heralded but got hurt and didn't play much last year. I guess he's a sophomore, or could he get a medical redshirt? Who ya got? Please let's play football next year!

I can’t ever remember a TE this good, at LSU. Trying to think of in the SEC. A TE that plays like a WR. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted April 11, 2020 Author Share Posted April 11, 2020 gotta change the rule so you can pick 2. Not enough action on this topic. I go with John Emery for my second pick. He didn't play that much as a freshman, but when he did, occasionally you would see a glimpse of what could be. He has cutting ability, agility, and outright speed is he gets an opening. Maybe he just needed a year to learn a few things like picking up the blitz. We saw him catch the ball which is necessary in this offense. Someone posted he had an operation on his eye to improve his vision, hopefully that helps. I think he can emerge this year. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSU Football Players Most Likely to Breakout in 2020: No. 6 Arik Gilbert, Tight End 00:08 03:07 Harrison Valentine Apr 12, 2020 Every recruiting cycle, there’s always one prospect that feels different from the rest. In LSU’s 2020 signing class, Arik Gilbert could be that guy, stepping on campus as the highest-rated tight end that 247Sports has ever scouted. And even though he hasn’t played a single snap yet in a Tiger uniform, Gilbert has the ability to ‘break out’ because of the instant impact he’s expected to make as a freshman. Gilbert’s commitment to Ed Orgeron and the Tigers was one that shocked the recruiting world when he announced on Oct. 23 at Marietta High School. The 6-foot-5, 253-pound five-star was expected to choose his hometown Georgia Bulldogs, or even the Alabama Crimson Tide, but after his visit to Baton Rouge for the Florida game on Oct. 14, Gilbert had made up his mind. “With the culture of the school, the atmosphere of the games, and now with the offense that they’re running, I think I’ll fit into it perfectly,” Gilbert told DawgNation after his commitment. What separated LSU from the rest, Gilbert says, was the school as a whole. Even if he wasn’t playing football, he would still want to go to LSU for the university it is. And with the offense they run now, that put it over the top for him to ultimately pull the trigger. With Thaddeus Moss deciding to forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the NFL Draft, that gives Gilbert the opportunity to slide in and make plays right away. Finishing his high school career with 243 catches for 3,540 yards and 35 TDs, while also being named Gatorade Player of the Year in the state of Georgia, the expectations surrounding Gilbert are sky-high.

The importance of the TE in Ensminger's offense does not go away because Moss moves on to the NFL. At the Peach Bowl, Orgeron mentioned Gilbert’s commitment ceremony took place during one of LSU’s practices in October. When Gilbert committed, he specifically remembers seeing his recruiting guys running out of the football operations building in pure jubilation. “I thought there was a fire,” Orgeron said with a smile. “They were jumping and hollering. I’m going [to myself] ‘What’s going on?,’ and halfway I figured out that Arik must have committed. At practice I’m always serious, but we were all high fiving, the whole team was high fiving.” Gilbert was one of eight early enrollees in January before campus was forced to close in response to COVID-19. With Ja’Marr Chase, Terrace Marshall, and a stable of running backs returning, Gilbert provides quarterback Myles Brennan with a set of weapons unlike any offense in the country. “A big thing throughout the process that I valued was family,” Gilbert said. “I feel like Coach O has a good thing going there. I fell in love with it from the moment I stepped on the campus.” Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geauxtigs Posted April 14, 2020 Share Posted April 14, 2020 Hey folks. Long time no see. I think I’d have to go with Jabril Cox. He’s very likely a plug in starter at a position of extreme need and has the potential to make a huge impact in Bo’s D. Having said that, Arik Gilbert is right behind Cox in stepping into a position of extreme need with a chance to really shine. Hoping both can make it happen. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
