Johns an expected hire? What's everyone's thoughts?

No, the biggest thing here is Jr can recruit and he gets his wrs ready. And thats the bottom line.

Lebby's offense blends Air Raid passing principles with a robust run game and play-action.

Whittemore never got to play under Leach nor Jr. To use him as an example of a bust is disingenuous. The reason he is mentioned is that Jr got him from Florida gators.

Z. Thomas likewise did not play under Jr or Leach. He was a true freshman. But he was productive at LSU.

Rara was consistent. His first year he had 18 catches while Polk set records. His 2nd year he took in 45 catches. Then UGA paid him.

Harmon, goes back to the same issue as Zavion. Who coached him? Barbay's people.

Again, not saying that Jr is the guy. I am saying it could be. And no, I would not be mad about it.

It'll be the same as Bumphis. Lebby will have to do the heavy lifting with recruiting anyone worth a damn and Spurrier will recruit a bunch of projects that you hope pan out. My guess? They won't.

We need someone who can recruit at that position and develop. Spurrier, and Bumphis too(I'm not absolving him), couldn't recruit and couldn't develop. Leach's offense was the reasons guys like Polk looked good. Same with Austin Williams, Scooby Ford, Justin Robinson, etc. RaRa had some physical abilities but his route running was crap. It didn't get better.

Also, Zavion did play under Leach and Spurrier(see 2022).
