I'll just go ahead & say it Reggie Todd will take over some of this burden being the big deep threat.

Has he put on any weight and gotten stronger?Quote:

We've got 3 of them right now but no idea how good they are. No clue how good guidry would be either and him getting out in May would hurt his ability to impact much next year. But he would have been another body and was faster that Couch.
Now we'll see if we can find another WR somewhere.
I'm surprised Guidry is announcing before Dupre declares
To beat Bama you need the type of receiver(s) being described here. But then against them you need virtually zero weak areas.
Against everyone else ... we're probably ok IF we can block.
To beat Bama you need an exceptional mobile quarterback that can make a whole bunch out of nothing. There aren't many people that have beaten Saban at all at bama, but most that have done it have that characteristic.
True. We have that don't we? It helps if CBs are 30-40 yds down field when things break down too.Quote:

We'll be ok.
It also helps if your defense is not complete garbage and you don't play like a scared 5 year old.Quote:

We will be fine at WR.
How quickly we forget can't miss targets Jonathan Rump, Corey Smith, the guy a few years ago who went to Florida out of Hinds and the one last year that went to LSU.
News flash, they haven't done crap.
Go get Ralph out of EMCC.
Guidry always had a spot..... he was simply waiting on the new coaching staff. LSU has had something like 5 receivers transfer over the last year. I think Trey Quinn was their biggest departure. But LSU has a slew of Redshirt Freshmen and True Freshmen ready to step up. But Guidry has a real opportunity to start next year for LSU, especially if Dupre declares.Quote:

Easiest job in the world.
I believe Dupre has already declared. I thought I saw Ross Dellenger tweet that the other day.
ETA: I'm wrong he hasn't and has until 1/16 to declare.
What was the deal with this kid out of high school? Did he have grade issues?
Signed with McNeese St out of HS. RS his freshman year then transferred to Hinds where he played this season.Quote:

He couldn't beat a 5'10 JUCO corner ALL NIGHT. He is not physical at all. He reminded me of a less physical(if that's possible) Joe Morrow.
