Yeah fair enough. I know it's early

Yep.

We're only beginning.

I do like that Chester has started some games at center and tackle though. He could be useful.

I have no idea about the kid from Houston Christian. I honestly thought he was from Houston. I've never heard of Houston Christian. Maybe he is a stud. I just don't have any data point to actually rely on. They competed against East Texas A&M and a school with the initials UTRGV. Are you pranking me about being excited about this kid - but not excited about an OL that was a ALL SEC Freshman at LSU in 2024 and started 13 games for LSU in 2024?

I feel like you are messing with me.

If you're expecting us to get guys that are "top portal guys" you might as well not pay attention. We won't be in the conversation for those guys. You have to be in the hunt on guys in order to "kill" them.

I'm not high on Chester. His PFF grades are awful this year and my eyes showed me the same thing. Maybe LSU was just that inept offensively this year and he just got caught up in that though.

On the Houston Christian kid, I'm excited if he's the 3rd CB. If he's a starter then I'm pissed. He's better than the NAIA kid we brought in last year. He's at least FCS

Tunmise Adeleye from UNLV is visiting.

Tunmise Adeleye(UNLV EDGE) visiting Monday and Tuesday of next week. Had a great year at UNLV. Former top 100 guy that finally popped this year. Started at A&M with Sylla but we would be his 5th school in 5 years.

Then we will not get better. That simple. If they do not want to come here nothing we can do about that but we need to start cutting checks just to get them to visit and give us a chance. Do we have the money to do that? Maybe. Half this board thinks it doesn?t matter and it?s all coaching but that will not get it done.

You are 100% correct. Take last night for example, I thought Weis called a pretty good game offensively but Chambliss won that game with some of the improv and extending the play. You don't coach that and you can't teach it. Kamario has some of that. I go back to the scramble drill TD against OM. He has instincts that you can't teach.

Quentin Taylor, Iowa St CB, will be visiting sometime next week. He'd be a massive pickup. He's a plug and play starter across from Kelley.

Robbie Faulk reporting that Ahmad Breaux, LSU DL, will be visiting on Sunday.

This kind of uninformed thinking would be the same as confederates who said last year, why would be bringing in the D-II quarterback?

This feels a lot like the posters who would always say McKinney was a two star QB and now he is an ALL SEC LB. You can't build a competitive roster using the exception instead of the rule.

I love the Breaux news, perfect type player for us. He had a really solid freshman season, they recruited through the portal over him, and he didn't play much this year, but he has shown that he can handle this level.

He was LSU's defensive freshman of the year after the 24 season. He's a guy you have to win a battle for. You're getting a guy who has produced at a name program. Did they recruit over him? Yes. But the perception is that you got a kid from LSU. That's the type of perception wins you need early on.

Take your red herring argument elsewhere man. If you want to use the exception to the rule as a standard, go for it. You won't be happy with the results.

Beat me to it. Would be crazy to point at Ole Miss and say look they have the #4 Transfer class with 10 4 stars, but ignore all that look at the d2 QB that is a once in a generation find as the model we need to follow. head in the sand.

Marquis Johnson, WR from Mizzou, is visiting either Sunday or Monday.

Lucas Simmons, FSU OL, is expected to visit soon. Will also visit Ga Tech, Wisconsin, UGA, and James Madison.

He's 6'8 308

You called the list underwhelming, there’s no red herring. I can’t fix willful ignorance. We have that in bulk. This day and age, with our situation every stone has to be turned over, all avenues must be examined.
