Texas A&M grad here. MissSt qb Van Buren is an excellent talent and great pickup for you guys. Congrats. VB really impressed me this 2024 season, and he was a true freshman.

[@JohnSpringer-tq3vb]

PLEASE let Perkins come back and play the STAR position!!

[@Heartwing37]

💯💯💯

[@alexmark8917]

Why would LSU not allow Perk to come back? Obviously we want him back

[@JohnSpringer-tq3vb]

@@Heartwing37think about it, both Weeks brothers return, Keys played alot the last half the year as a freshman, Singleton was very highly rated and now going into his 2nd year. Charles Ross and the 3rd Weeks brother are both Early Enrollees, they're both top prospects. Jaiden Braker & Keylan Moses will both be very good. We have really good depth and talent at LB. Major Burns played star and is gone, we're short on Safeties. Star is a tweener and Perks the ultimate tweener defensive player, he can blitz like crazy, drop back, cover TE's or play the run. He would be a gamebreaker at Star

[@Cdrop63]

@@JohnSpringer-tq3vbhe should have been at the star role the whole time anyway. But they like CJ Jimcoily there too. So we will see how it pans out

[@JohnSpringer-tq3vb]

@@Cdrop63 They do want him there eventually but hes a true freshman and not an EE, no way hes ready this year. Perk would be the ultimate X factor at Star, he should play it this year while Jimcoily learns the position and gets stronger in the offseason so he's ready in '26

[@dustinsteger1879]

Bauer Sharp isn’t a blocking TE, OU fans will tell you he was an issue for them in run blocking. His run blocking PFF grades are also bad. Not saying he can’t get better or play better in our system, but I don’t think we’ll be able to rely on him in the run game

[@edcurtis7640]

I think blocking as a whole next year will be a challenge for the run game as whole. LSU didn't run block well in any game last year. Mabye a fresh start with a fresh OL. Who knows?

[@Jamaltakii223]

Hate to be this guy...but we just wasted money...these additions are "meh" at best...jackson has the highest ceiling but he's coming off an injury...Bk still got alot of work to do

[@PineMountain981]

Bauer Sharp had a bad yr at OU. But OU had (and btw still has) a ton of offensive problems. So maybe he'll do better at OU. Otoh, Van Buren is an excellent pickup, and I'd love to have him in the A&M qb room.

[@FredPitre-o4b]

@@PineMountain981 He led them in receptions and receiving yards.

[@EricBynog-zd4rd]

Dude is trash why lsu thinks they can turn a 2 star into national championship is crazy BK has always thought he does not need talent the best talent just go back look at last 25 national champions at there roster it can not be done period when will BK realize that

[@FredPitre-o4b]

LSU has one of the most talented rosters in the country. The new '25 class is #2-#3 in blue chip ratio.
