LSU Board nuggets affecting canes

[SwagUniversity]

Dad having gone to LSU, I was raised a canes/tiger fan and still keep up with their sites and recruiting from time to time.

Two things that may affect us have been all over the board lately, felt like it could be useful to share:

1) Phidarian Mathis is believed to be a heated LSU and Bama competition. Rashard Lawrence, a 5 star DT from his high school, is very close to him and appears to be locking Phidarian in. Coach O loves him and has already visited Phidarian at a game and I believe in home. Will be tough to see Coach O let go of a lineman in his own backyard. We should know its a long shot at best.

2) Many, MANY LSU fans seem to think Lane Kiffin as LSU OC is a lock, and apparently word has it that Coach O has been using that to reel in Devonta Smith. All the LSU boards see Smith's recruitment as a Bama/LSU battle with a LSU lean as of late. They're confident that he's in the bag. This is their biggest target on their WR board and it would again seem hard to see LSU not secure him.

This really worries me in our WR recruiting. Even though pete said we were quietly confident about Devonta, don't want this ending up like Holloman and us holding nothing come NSD.

Our staff is confident. So somebody is getting their feelings hurt

We are not winning battles for SEC players out of SEC country... Let's hope for Harley prey for Jeudy and juco ranks for a 4. Star WR who couldn't make it in in 2014

A lot of smoke for Kiffin as HC at Houston

 

[BeastMode]

I live in SEC country in Alabama and word is Kiffin to Houston will be announced by end of the week. If Kiffin goes to Houston, I think that puts Miami in the lead for Smith.

I hope Im wrong, but you know how this plays out.

My thing is he's the best option for Houston so why would he say no for LSU?

This staff's "quiet confidence" don't mean jack ****...

Bama has had the lead with Smith for months, only recently has LSU gained traction... Miami been in 3rd for a long time.

And before vern even attempts to troll me, check the threads, I been saying Smith to Bama for months...

No doubt that Bama was/is leading. I hope this staff pulls off some surprises at WR, OL and CB cause right now we are looking weak at our most important spots for this class. Its hard to fathom honestly knowing that Richt has always been an above average recruiter at Georgia.

They don't want to hear that!!!! **** our fans still think we have a shot at Jeudy. Lmao

 

[Squid Bumciorek]

Didn't Smith commit to Richt while he was still HC at UGA?

But what if they're right for the confidence? Not saying what's going to happen I have no idea but every year including this year everybody picks multiple guys that have no chance to here and they come. Not saying you're wrong just they can't be that dumb at wr and smart everywhere else

 

[skeeper]

Personally can't see any way in **** that Kiffin leaves OC pos for Saban to work for O. LSU fans are dreaming.

 

[CANE1775]

Swag said it best. When we are confident that we're in play for a kid but NO OTHER rival site lists the canes as bring in play, then we're just being overly optimistic. I'm having a flashback to the days of having to trot out a punter at WR.

My thing is he's the best option for Houston so why would he say no for LSU?

Why would he leave Saban to coach under Orgeron?

When it comes to WR's & CB's, I don't trust this staff's confidence about any prospect...

Look, I hope we get Smith, so I'm not saying it in a negative way... But from everything I've read, Bama has had the lead with Smith for a long time.

Just recently Smith & Moses both visited LSU together, from an LSU writer the thing that he pointed out in his article was that Smith & Moses were both being recruited by Eddy O as Bama recruits... That let me know all I needed to know.

It would be great to land the kid, but it's just unrealistic thus far... He's only visited once for the UNC game & idk if Dugans has had his in-home with him yet, but compared to how often he visits Bama, doesn't look good for us.

After what Pete said today, I don't think we're looking weak at OL but I think most of us agree about CB and WR.... Who???
