No. I think prima donnas assume LSU will fawn all over them if they are 'available'. When he withdrew his committment to UGA, my impression is that he thought that LSU would be begging for him to sign and come play in Baton Rouge. Having said that, I would not assume Evans winds up at TAMU. This is the kind of splash Joey Freshwater was famous for making a last minute play for when he was at Rocky Top.

LSUDad Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 Bingo... BREAKING: Texas RB Kevontre Bradford commits to LSU By Mike Scarborough January 26, 2020 3.5k 10 Tweet Share (1.5k) Ed Orgeron and staff have their class of 2020 running back and Kevontre Bradford of Lancaster has given his verbal commitment. The 5-foot-11, 195-pound Bradford committed to LSU over offers from Wisconsin, Ohio State, Florida, Texas and others. He announced his commitment to LSU via Twitter at the conclusion of of his official visit weekend in Baton Rouge. In an interview with TigerBait.com last week, Lancaster head football coach Chris Gilbert had this to say about Bradford. “He’s a very versatile player. He’s in the 4.3 range for the 40. He’s a track kid, is a 100m guy, 4x100, 4x200, and has been on varsity since he was a freshman. Runs the 100m in 10.5. There’s a lot he can do,” Gilbert said. “He can catch the ball and he runs really strong and has breakaway speed. He is so fast on long touchdowns it looks like he is jogging cause he’s so far ahead of everybody. “He’s physical when it needs to be and fast when he needs to be. He has good enough talent and ball skills that you don’t have to change the personnel if you want to go to an empty set and use him as a wide out. He’s a special talent, and the type of guy the big guys recruit. ” LSU’s class of 2020 now has 19 signees and four unsigned commitments for a total of 23. ²@tredasprinter Committed....#HoldThatTiger 753 6:57 PM - Jan 26, 2020 Twitter Ads info and privacy 179 people are talking about this Kevontre Bradford senior season highlight film 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Herb Posted January 27, 2020 Author Share Posted January 27, 2020 Kevantre Bradford was down to LSU and Wisconsin. I was worried that he'd pick Wisconsin over LSU simply because their offense features the run game 1st whereas our 'new' offense does not. We' close enough for his family to come watch...Whiskey might have been harder for his family. So glad we got him. We needed at least one quality RB in this class.

houtiger Posted January 27, 2020 Share Posted January 27, 2020 From what I was reading around, Kevontre Bradford is the best back available to LSU now. Given Evans appears to be a head case, I am very happy to see LSU get the guy they wanted. Reading the info Dad posted just above, he sounds terrific. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I would guess McMath would start at the third WR, taking Jefferson’s place. But this one could come in and get major minutes. We are bringing in two major TE’s, one is better than anything we have ever had at LSU. They along with whats left at the position, gives us a number of options with formations. Something Steve enjoys. Spring game will be fun to see the early entries to the roster. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted January 28, 2020 Share Posted January 28, 2020 *5 defensive lineman Jordan Burch and his mom visited LSU on an unofficial visit this past Saturday through Monday. Here is what he had to say following the visit. Good luck deciphering what he is going to do on NSD. Some are saying LSU leads because he and his mom paid their own way to come back for a visit. I'd say its 50-50 what he is going to do which of course means we at least have a chance. My gut is that he sticks with his commitment to USCe Quote When asked the reasoning behind the order of his finalists, and decision to pick South Carolina, Burch circled conversations with his mother about where they felt he was most-needed. "Me and my mom we discussed -- I wanted to go somewhere where I can be a priority and not another option," he said. "I feel like different places I could play and make a big impact if I just wanted to be like a guy on the team that people need." Burch said his decision to not sign with the Gamecocks in December was a result of his plans to join his teammates at Hammond High during February's National Signing Day ceremony. "Teammates," he responded. "They're signing in February so I'm going to sign in February." https://247sports.com/college/lsu/Article/Jordan-Burch-takes-in-an-LSU-visit-before-NSD-142674042 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burch’s mom has a good job there and may want him to stay close. The son, seems to want him mom to visit, just to let her see why he is liking LSU. The son looks to be trying to convince Mom, this is the place he wants to be. Yes he gave them a verbal, but didn’t sign, LSU kept on him. Until someone signs, they are still recruitable. How this one ends? But I like our chances. Better than they were in the early signing period. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Herb Posted January 28, 2020 Author Share Posted January 28, 2020 I like it when a coach's kid plays for a different school than the one his dad coaches. They get out from under the shadow of their dad and escape any claims of favortism, etc.,. Given the choice of going to school in Fort Collins, CO or Columbia, SC I'd pick Fort Collins eleven times out of ten...just saying. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

houtiger Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 I watched some film on Arik Gilbert and was very impressed. He is quick, fluid, his footwork running routes is excellent, and he appears to have good hands. I don't recall any TE at LSU having his kind of athleticism, or course that was not what Les Miles wanted when he was recruiting. He looks much smoother than Thad Moss. Gilbert will keep the TE as a weapon in the offense, and keep us hard to defend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LSUDad Posted January 29, 2020 Share Posted January 29, 2020 Having watched film on Gilbert, we have never had a TE like him ever at LSU, never. He is enrolled at LSU and will participate in the Spring. This is one guy that can change a defense, big time. The thing is, right now, with Marshall and Chase, add this guy to the mix, you spread out the defense. Taylor, the other TE coming in with Gilbert, is no slouch either. As Spring gets closer, we will go over the offense. This season will be more of reload, not as much of a rebuild. The OL will be one to keep an eye on. 57, Ingram and Deculus return, they have all return as guys that have started a number of games. Rose has started games also. His starts with having Charles out, will add to his experience and in game study. We keep adding to depth along this line. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hatchertiger Posted January 30, 2020 Share Posted January 30, 2020 RE McKinnley Jackson from DandyDon: Quote Jackson, who was once committed to LSU before reopening his recruitment last February, says he will announce his decision on National Signing Day (Wednesday, February 5) at about 9:30 a.m. CT from George County High School. He’s expected to choose between LSU, Alabama, and Texas A&M. He’s scheduled to visit with the Aggies this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
