He was honorable mention All Big 10, basically #4. That's a solid player.

Once again, I never take recruiting services player ratings as gospel. Having said that, it is at least a big encouraging to see the transfer rating go UP from the high school rating as his did by a lot. And it is easier to believe ratings of guys who have competed at the college level than guys who competed in the "lower level of play"/aka HS football.

Moore will be a Tiger. Will be great to add 1 OT. Could be either one of the Northwestern or Wazzu kid. Don't see both in BR.

Why not you have two tackle positions?

We are gonna finish strong for sure. Just look at all the talent they're bringing in for visits. Helps with signing them too bc if u leave campus without committing, u know that there's a good chance that u won't have an offer soon. That's very aggressive. I like it.

At some point if you have to develop ur own guys. You don’t need to grab 2 tackles, likely just one.
We have 4-5 other tackles on the roster that were highly recruited - you don’t think 1 can start next season?

We are. We need guys who can come in and compete right now though too bc we can make a run at the title next season. That's a real possibility. Competing against the best and seeing how they prepare and play is going to do nothing but get all of our younger players better anyway. Geaux Tigers.

Who is to say not one of the 5 can compete next season? You can’t grab every player in the portal lol, it’s roster management

They may...but what if they're not ready yet? Are we supposed to just take our chances that they are? If they're truly better then they will beat out whoever we bring in anyway right?

LSU will be fortunate to get one of them. Other teams also want these kids you know.

Nobody is saying "grab every player in the portal". We are addressing needs at the positions/position groups that the COACHING STAFF sees we need help at.

I doubt we grab 2 offensive tackles in the portal. Also other teams are competing for the same guys. You should definitely grab one

If we take 2 tackles that tells me we have a development or talent eval issue. We have guys we have signed in past recruiting cycles which should be able to be ready to step in by now if that’s the case.

WE ARENT TAKING 2 TACKLES. That's the whole point. We have both on visits and we are going to take 1 I'm sure. Who said anything about getting 2 tackles? U thought that up yourself bc we have 2 of them visiting. The staff knows more than we do about who's visiting, why, and what their plans are for them.

You have two 5 star OTs in Davis and Thomas and a 4 star in Adams who’s looked good in limited experience. Let’s not run them all off at once. If the staff believes in any other them, you bring in 1 from the portal and let the others battle it out for the RT spot.

ETA: A guy who can legit play Guard or Tackle is different. We currently have more young talent outside than inside.
