Fishhead Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 NEED OL HELP lol. Moore is a great pickup and hard to turn down a commitment like that in state. I agree he's a take. But now 4 WRs with a ton of young WRs on the team and we really need OL help. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
houtiger Posted August 18, 2019 Share Posted August 18, 2019 2 hours ago, LSUDad said: He joins an LSU class that now has four wide receiver commitments, which can be argued as the best haul at the position in the country. The four-star prospect joins three other commitments who all rank inside the top seven nationally at the position. The 247Sports Composite ranks Rakim Jarrett as the No. 3 wide receiver in the country, Jermaine Burton the No. 6 wide receiver and Kayshon Boutte the No. 7 wide receiver. That's incredible! I don't remember this ever happening at LSU. If the passing game looks good this year, top QB's need to be looking at LSU as the place to bring their talents. We look strong for 3 years at WR. As FH said, now we gotta get the OL. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted August 26, 2019 Share Posted August 26, 2019 WATCH: Rakim Jarrett notches two touchdowns in season opener ByBILLY EMBODY 23 hours ago Share14 Comments LSU wide receiver commit Rakim Jarrettstarted his senior season off with two touchdowns in Washington (D.C.) St. John's 48-0 win over Miami (Fla.) Southridge on Saturday. You can watch both touchdowns below. The five-star wideout on the industry-generated 247Sports Composite committed to the Tigers in late April and showed why he's one of the top playmakers in the country. "Coming into the game, we knew they played a lot of 1-high press so that were a lot of go routes we planned on doing," Jarrett told Chad Ricardo. "Coach called the played and I had to go and get it. (On the second one), no safety. They were coming with an all-out blitz so middle of the field was open. I had to take advantage of it." The 6-0, 208-pound wide receiver comes in on the 247Sports Composite as the No. 19 overall prospect in the country, No. 3 wide receiver nationally and No. 2 prospect in the District of Columbia. 247Sports ranks him as the No. 32 overall prospect in the nation and no. 6 wide receiver nationally. Jarrett committed to the Tigers over Alabama, Auburn, Clemson, Florida, Georgia, Miami, Michigan, Ohio State, Texas A&M, USC and plenty of others. The Vols hosted him on an official visit in late June and do seem to be the top challenger, having 30 percent of the 247Sports Crystal Ball picks when Jarrett pledged to Ed Orgeron & Co. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hatchertiger Posted September 21, 2019 Share Posted September 21, 2019 T J Finely playing on CST right now. Ponchatoula vs. Brother Martin. Oh by the way, I heard Brother Martin is a better HS than Jesuit and John Curtis combined. Is that true? Asking for a friend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I grew up in a very small town. Lived in Hatcher Hall my freshman year. There was a big group of guys in the dorm who went to Brother Martin. They were appalled at 2 things: A. I had never heard of Brother Martin; and B. I had never drank a Dixie beer. Got to be good friends with them and we drank many Dixie beers out in front of Hatcher on game day. I have since learned how much pride people from New Orleans have regarding where they went to high school. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

LSUDad Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 I was told a large number of kids were in for the Florida game. We are have another big number of kids in for the Auburn game, the commitments are going to be fluid from now on. May lose a few, pick up higher rated kids. Yep, the #1 TE in the nation. Breaking: 5-star Arik Gilbert commits to LSU By Shea Dixon 17 mins ago • 2 min read (Photo: Rusty Mansell, 247Sports) The shocker of the 2020 recruiting cycle has arrived. On Wednesday, Georgia five-star prospect and the No. 1 tight end in the country Arik Gilbert committed to LSU over a final group that included both Alabama and Georgia, which is where the majority of the 247Sports Crystal Ball predictions resided for the Top 10 overall prospect. Gilbert announced the decision at Marietta High on Wednesday evening, and he caught up with 247Sports recruiting analyst Rusty Mansell to break down the decision. "I think on my official visit when I was sitting down talking to Coach O," Gilbert said of when he knew the decision. "The way he was talking to me sounded so genuine. I was going to be part of a true family." After shocking the recruiting world with his decision, Gilbert said he is no longer planning to take any more visits. He made his official visit to LSU the weekend of the Florida game earlier this month. "I am completely done," Gilbert said. How did the Tigers wind up pulling it off? "Honestly, it’s always been one of my top choices with Coach O there and the program he runs," Gilbert said. "It just, it seems like it really fits me. 'One Team, One Heartbeat’, and I’m the same way. It’s all about team and values. Also, with the new offense they are running with (Joe Brady) down there, that really interested me a lot. They were already one of my top teams, but that put them over the top." PAID CONTENT BY IZODYour Fall Weekend Must-Haves LSU tight ends coach John Decoster led the charge for the Tigers, and Gilbert knew his announcement would surprise both teammates at Marietta and coaches around the country. "I just feel ready to go," Gilbert said. "I knew (it was a shocker). I just thought ‘here it goes. They are going to find out.’ I picked up the hat and nobody said nothing, and they thought I was joking." What's the message to LSU fans? "I am here to work," Gilbert said. "That’s it. I am here to win a (National Championship)." As for targets left on LSU's board, Gilbert said he plans to go to work recruiting others to join him in Baton Rouge." “I got a few (names) on the low," he said. Here's the 247Sports evaluation on the nation's top tight end prospect: Long-limbed, muscular, v-shaped athlete with a frame that can continue to add lean mass naturally. Rare body. Has played both sides of the ball for his high school and brings consistent effort in each role. Brings mismatch ability to the tight end position with both size and athleticism. Can play attached, split out as a wide receiver or as a 'move' tight end . Adequate hands and ball skills that have improved steadily over HS career. Can sink hips and change directions as a route-runner with receiver proficiency. Catches in traffic effectively. Highly competitive. Has elite verified combine athleticism. Once looked like a higher upside prospect at defensive end but has honed his offensive skill-set to become one of the most unique tight end prospects in years. Best tight end prospect we've seen since OJ Howard. Power five impact player on either side of the ball with first-round NFL Draft upside. Stay tuned to Geaux247 for more on this breaking news.

LSUDad Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 A little more, LSU has done well in Ga. Marietta, Buford (Deep Snapper’s haven), Lassiter High (Mo Isom), etc. So many kids of all LSU sports have come from there. Philip Lutzenkirchen, the Auburn TE, killed a few years back in an automobile accident. Having family over there, I’ve gotten to see some of these kids play.
