Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ray Parker is IN We'll see where it goes from here, but physically and from a needs and talent standpoint, we need this dude. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Fish, does this indicate we have missed on other guys we wanted more? It looked like Parker had slipped out of the class. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 No, I mean, realistically, we still have 3 more open spots, and they are there for Ish, Lee, and Ward. Randolph went to Baylor and Williams went with Miami. I guess you could say we missed on him, since until Monday night, I had him in this class for sure.

dachsie Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 When will we know who the last 3 are? I got notification on my phone the InbredGumps has lost 2 this morning. LOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 No, they lost one. The other was Christian Williams who was expected to sign with LSU (although committed to Alabama). He signed with Miami. We lost him, not InbredGumps. NOBODY expected him to sign with InbredGumps today. They did lose Bogle, but not like he came here, so unsure of the celebration lol. InbredGumps will still likely wind up with the #1 class, if not a close #2. If we get Ish, sure, celebrate. That's a huge battle win, but the war? Long way to go... Oh, and Bogle went to a team we face every year regardless, so there's that fun too...he's a Gator. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Ish and Lee announce at 12:45, I believe. Not sure how many Amite have announcing, so obviously exact timing depends on that. They'll be the final two announcements at Amite. Ward, I'm hearing, is LSU. Unsure of his announcement time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Jay Ward is a TIGER! Good get. He's a true corner unlike Christian Williams, who was really a safety that wanted to play CB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 What, y'all thought we were done? https://247sports.com/Player/Desmond-Little-46043182/ Desmond Little is a TIGER! 3* DL. Make of it what you will....but we need DL, so hey. Looking at the numbers, a redshirt candidate that needs to gain 25+ lbs, at least. But he'll have a shot at being a contributor in 2020 when we REALLY need guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 https://247sports.com/Season/2019-Football/CompositeTeamRankings/ LSU finishes 5th on 247, amazingly that results in 4th in the SEC lol. I won't say anything about who the HCs are for #3 and #4 lol. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Fonua Hampton Parker Ward Lee Little This along with the 19 signed in December is a very solid class, star power mixed with needs and a couple projects. My main complaint is obviously not enough done regarding elite DL and OL, but it is what it is. If y'all see a way we change the way things go against InbredGumps and in the pursuit of SEC Championships recruiting like this, I'd love to hear it. My main concerns with today would be Fonua being JUCO and only being able to help 2 years, Parker and whatever his issues are/were that led EVERYONE to think he was not a take in ANYONE'S class, and Little needing at least a RS year to get to edge rusher weight to go along with his edge rusher height. Right now he's safety weight. Reminds me a little of Mingo back when. Hope he turns out as good in the end, and it's not an issue THIS year with Chaisson coming back and Fonua providing depth. Overall, this class is EERILY reminiscent of a Les Miles class late in his tenure here, and now a lot of people complain that it's due to him we are lacking in depth and talent in the trenches. We still are lacking in depth and talent in the trenches, so status quo it is. Gotta hope the offense improves drastically to have a chance to win the SEC and hang with InbredGumps.

LSUDad Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 From my friend Shea Dixion: 3-star edge rusher Desmond Little becomes the late addition for #LSU. Others who landed the final spot in the class when they had an extra scholarship? 2017: Justin Jefferson 2016: Lloyd Cushenberry 2015: Foster Moreau 2014: Darrel Williams 2013: Deion Jones 2012: Duke Riley Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fishhead Posted February 6, 2019 Author Share Posted February 6, 2019 Yep, nice track record. I got no problem taking this kid. Looks like the only reason he was rated a 3* was size. He had offers from other SEC programs, including InbredGumps, although that was likely not a commitable offer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted February 6, 2019 Share Posted February 6, 2019 Understand your take Fish. But I too look at 3* players in a different light. You can look over the years, with LSU and a top 5 finish, everyone gets the same opportunity. Get them in, see where they end up. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm more concerned with what O said was the most pressing issue, and especially with it being his forte...DL. I don't like seeing InbredGumps taking EIGHT DL, all elite, while LSU is struggling to get 4...when we need more DL than they do. It's like Bear Bryant is at InbredGumps again taking guys just to keep them away from his competition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted February 7, 2019 Share Posted February 7, 2019 I got really excited when I saw this headline on the Advocate (which is still up), but unfortunately the online editor just isn't doing their job: (He actually signed with Georgia and not LSU.)
