- 1:48Speaker 4: they're decommitting, but they are delaying signing. Not going to

- 2:56Speaker 3: wear a vest when you do it. Oh, well, you
- 2:57Speaker 3: know it obviously, little flannel, no doubt.
- 3:02Speaker 5: I do have a flannel. I do have some wood

- 3:13Speaker 5: My wife gave me a little kindling like splitter yeah,
- 3:16Speaker 5: like two years ago for Christmas. Get the little chunks
- 3:18Speaker 5: and it just makes it perfect. And it's not it's
- 3:21Speaker 5: not one of them fireplaces where you got a cheat
- 3:24Speaker 5: where you get like the gas strip at the bottom
- 3:26Speaker 5: and you get the gas starter. No, no, we're starting
- 3:29Speaker 5: straight from sticks, buddy.
- 3:30Speaker 3: Okay. Oh yeah, like romance. I groat when I do it,
- 3:35Speaker 3: older house, You know I didn't have to gas. Yeah.
- 3:38Speaker 4: A lot of people will have fire starting pants or
- 3:40Speaker 4: no no firewood retardant, sorry, wood chopping.
- 3:47Speaker 3: My fire retardant.
- 3:48Speaker 5: Yeah, you probably have some of those. Two you don't
- 3:50Speaker 5: have money, also have painting pants. But I don't ever paint,
- 3:56Speaker 5: but I have some just in case you ever have
- 3:59Speaker 5: that pant you like you're you're you're purging your your
- 4:02Speaker 5: closet and you're like, man, like the shirt fits I've
- 4:04Speaker 5: had a long time. I don't wear it a lot,
- 4:06Speaker 5: but like, man, if I paint one day, I can
- 4:10Speaker 5: use this. No, No, no one's ever had that thought. No,
- 4:14Speaker 5: especially if you don't paint, but you could. Like there's
- 4:17Speaker 5: so many things as a as a as an adult
- 4:20Speaker 5: that and with YouTube these days, there's so many things
- 4:23Speaker 5: that you don't currently do, but you can easily learn
- 4:25Speaker 5: to do them in a DIY situation. And I know
- 4:27Speaker 5: you know all about that. I saw you plaster in
- 4:29Speaker 5: a fireplace. Yeah, we do a lot of uh any
- 4:33Speaker 5: plastic plaster pants, Uh No, just the old ones, probably
- 4:37Speaker 5: old ones.
- 4:37Speaker 4: Probably the same thing as a paint pant, probably, so yeah,
- 4:42Speaker 4: always don't have specific ones.
- 4:44Speaker 3: That's a different tax bracket. Anyways, Alanja, how you doing
- 4:47Speaker 3: this morning?
- 4:48Speaker 6: It's just simply too cold to function. Come on, it's
- 4:52Speaker 6: not a good time. So I don't know, I'm not
- 4:55Speaker 6: doing well just because of how cold it is. Other
- 4:58Speaker 6: than that, vibes are great, all.
- 4:59Speaker 3: Right, all right, Cassie. She knew I was gonna ask her,
- 5:03Speaker 3: and she didn't like it.
- 5:05Speaker 1: I know.
- 5:06Speaker 3: I mean, it's early in the morning, so pretty bad,
- 5:12Speaker 3: pretty bad, Jake. I mean it's not terrible. I just
- 5:15Speaker 3: i'mugg going to keep my eyes away. I don't like
- 5:17Speaker 3: the cold. Early and it's cold. This is the opposite
- 5:21Speaker 3: of utopia for you. Yes, okay, alright, early the glass
- 5:25Speaker 3: back here?
- 5:27Speaker 4: Talk it's before today, am. If you're going to pull
- 5:33Speaker 4: this crap, at least you could have said you're from
- 5:34Speaker 4: the Yankees of movie.
- 5:38Speaker 3: Yes, thank you. Eland this guy over here, oh obviously
- 5:43Speaker 3: I knew it. It's an opening scene, Taylor when he
- 5:47Speaker 3: answers the phone. I know, bro, he's drunk in Mexico.
- 5:50Speaker 3: I got it. Okay, I can't say that word before.
- 5:53Speaker 3: I can't say drunk. I'm just kidding. Hell, all right,
- 5:58Speaker 3: do the weather's dr Okay, it's like that bad. It's great.
- 6:03Speaker 3: I do like it. Thirty five Yeah, why not? I
- 6:07Speaker 3: mean it's just a you get a couple of days
- 6:09Speaker 3: a year, embrace it.
- 6:10Speaker 6: It's been like three days that it's been like this. Okay,
- 6:16Speaker 6: that would be a few. We've been over this, all right,
- 6:22Speaker 6: So once we we do get to Shay.
- 6:24Speaker 4: Obviously, some of your top recruits have delayed, at least
- 6:30Speaker 4: that's the report delayed. They're signing from today until February.
- 6:35Speaker 4: There's a lot swirling out there and against she's going
- 6:37Speaker 4: to have the latest on this that some of the
- 6:40Speaker 4: recruits are just going to wait because they're wondering what
- 6:44Speaker 4: the staff is going to look like. Ye at LSU,
- 6:46Speaker 4: is Frank Wilson going to be on the staff? Is
- 6:48Speaker 4: Blake Baker going to be on the staff? And Blake Baker,
- 6:51Speaker 4: of course we told you he interviewed on Monday for
- 6:55Speaker 4: the two lane head coaching job, the place where he
- 6:57Speaker 4: played linebacker. So it makes all the sense in the world.
- 7:00Speaker 4: Now we tried to tell you all, I mean, too late.
- 7:01Speaker 4: I think you really need to stay away from this guy.
- 7:03Speaker 4: Ye red flags everywhere too, like don't hire Blake Baker
- 7:07Speaker 4: didn't even like children. So I guess it's like I
- 7:13Speaker 4: do understand, like, if you've had this relationship with this person,
- 7:17Speaker 4: you do want to step back and you want to
- 7:18Speaker 4: take a look at it and see what is what
- 7:20Speaker 4: because you know, obviously these guys weren't going to be
- 7:23Speaker 4: early enrollees. I know Lamar Brown wasn't going to be
- 7:26Speaker 4: and so you want to kind of look at the situation.
- 7:30Speaker 4: But they I mean, we always talk about you want
- 7:33Speaker 4: to commit to a coach and sign with a coach.
- 7:35Speaker 4: You do, I understand that, Like we've talked about that,
- 7:39Speaker 4: but at the end of the day, like the school
- 7:41Speaker 4: is the one thing that's going to be there, Like coaching,
- 7:44Speaker 4: you just never know. Like I thought when I signed
- 7:47Speaker 4: with coach Saban he'd be there all four years. He
- 7:50Speaker 4: was there for about eight months.
- 7:52Speaker 5: I think when whether you're a high school kid signing
- 7:58Speaker 5: you're a letter of intent to a college you know,
- 8:00Speaker 5: directly out of high school, or in this day and age,
- 8:03Speaker 5: if you're someone in the transfer portal, I think, and
- 8:09Speaker 5: this is going to change from person to person, situation
- 8:11Speaker 5: a situation, But I think the the highest, the biggest
- 8:16Speaker 5: reason why you do make that decision is for a coach. Now,
- 8:20Speaker 5: there's certainly a system, there's a plan for you. There's
- 8:26Speaker 5: an opportunity that you like at that certain school within
- 8:29Speaker 5: the within an offense or a defense or you know,
- 8:32Speaker 5: a depth chart that you think is going to be
- 8:33Speaker 5: there for yourself. Certainly you respect the school and the
- 8:38Speaker 5: conference and everything about that, but I think like, if
- 8:41Speaker 5: you're putting a pie chart together, the biggest slice of
- 8:44Speaker 5: that pie is going to be coach. Of all, Like,
- 8:47Speaker 5: if you're looking at the attributes and the positive reasons
- 8:50Speaker 5: why I'm going there, and usually I think that's going
- 8:53Speaker 5: to be the biggest slice of that pie is going
- 8:56Speaker 5: to be the coach. So when a coach there's some
- 8:59Speaker 5: fluxual now the kid from you high, it might not be,
- 9:03Speaker 5: but I think the majority of people, the biggest slice
- 9:06Speaker 5: is going to be the coach. So when that changes,
- 9:09Speaker 5: of course, there's gonna be there's gonna be speople and
- 9:12Speaker 5: let's put our shoes, Like, let's put ourselves in their
- 9:14Speaker 5: shoes right now. Like if if I'm sitting in high
- 9:17Speaker 5: school right now, and I'm been committed to LSU or
- 9:21Speaker 5: whoever wherever, Yeah, and two days before a new head
- 9:26Speaker 5: coach gets hired, and all of a sudden, the guy
- 9:28Speaker 5: that was recruiting me, Like, let's just say, like when
- 9:30Speaker 5: Jimbo Fisher was recruited me, if I didn't know Jimbo
- 9:32Speaker 5: was going to be there, I'd be like, hold up, yeah,
- 9:35Speaker 5: I don't have to sign now. Yeah, So let's just
- 9:38Speaker 5: go ahead and wait. Let's see how it all up.
- 9:40Speaker 5: Let's see how it plays out. Let's see how it
- 9:41Speaker 5: all unfolds. Now, I'm gonna have to be educated and
- 9:46Speaker 5: I'm assuming a lot of our listeners might have to
- 9:48Speaker 5: be educated throughout this show on different things. It's like, okay, well,
- 9:52Speaker 5: if you wait, does that mean you can't enroll early?
- 9:56Speaker 1: Is?
- 9:56Speaker 3: Yes? I mean.
- 10:00Speaker 4: Basically there there is a there is a way to
- 10:03Speaker 4: get around it. But no, I mean you need to
- 10:05Speaker 4: if you're early, you need to signify. This signing period
- 10:08Speaker 4: is three days. Yes, so it's three days. So you
- 10:11Speaker 4: got three days.
- 10:12Speaker 3: So I mean nothing to say that some of these
- 10:14Speaker 3: guys that say they're going to be waiting can't sign.
- 10:16Speaker 5: Yeah, if there's more clarity in the staff, which you
- 10:21Speaker 5: would think two lane's going to probably try to move
- 10:25Speaker 5: fairly quickly. Oh yeah, so I think from the Blake
- 10:30Speaker 5: Baker standpoint, that would that would certainly happen.
- 10:33Speaker 4: And then like right now, if you're a defensive player,
- 10:37Speaker 4: there's no defensive staff. Like offensively, you have pieces in
- 10:42Speaker 4: place now, not in the totality, there's still some position.
- 10:45Speaker 3: Groups right now.
- 10:46Speaker 4: As a running back, there's there's not a for sure
- 10:49Speaker 4: direction in the running back situation is it going to
- 10:51Speaker 4: be Frank Wilson or you're retaining him?
- 10:53Speaker 3: Is it going to be Kevin Smith who we talked about.
- 10:55Speaker 4: I don't remember if that was on or off air
- 10:57Speaker 4: the other day because he's our draft class. We were
- 10:58Speaker 4: talking about it he gonna come over from Old Miss,
- 11:01Speaker 4: Like if I'm a running back, Like, I'm not saying
- 11:03Speaker 4: I'm signing with the coach, but I'd like to know
- 11:05Speaker 4: who that is before I signed, if I am in
- 11:08Speaker 4: fact going to be somebody that enrolls in the summertime.
- 11:11Speaker 4: So you've got a couple of days to get some
- 11:14Speaker 4: clarity here. And I'm not speaking in absolute saying they're
- 11:16Speaker 4: not going to sign in the early signing period, but
- 11:18Speaker 4: it doesn't he like you're going to sign today.
- 11:19Speaker 5: And that's the thing, Like for like you said, the offense,
- 11:22Speaker 5: there's pieces in place. You know it's going to be
- 11:25Speaker 5: a solidified, good offense. You know, like a recruit's going
- 11:28Speaker 5: to know exactly what that offense is going to look like.
- 11:31Speaker 5: I'm sure if you're a recruit at LSU, you were
- 11:33Speaker 5: probably already talking to Lane at some point about about
- 11:35Speaker 5: Old Well, he's.
- 11:36Speaker 4: Got what three people that have flipped from Old Miss
- 11:40Speaker 4: LSU from a if you're on a defensive side too,
- 11:43Speaker 4: it's like, all right, Blake Baker is like the main
- 11:46Speaker 4: like the keystone and all this decision making, Like that's
- 11:49Speaker 4: the piece.
- 11:49Speaker 3: I need to know. And I still.
- 11:53Speaker 5: I love LSU, still want to go, but I still
- 11:55Speaker 5: need to know. Like even if it's not Blake, who
- 11:57Speaker 5: is it might love that guy too. Yeah, you know
- 11:59Speaker 5: it's already have a relationship with that guy recruiting. Yeah,
- 12:01Speaker 5: I think that's the biggest thing for LSU fans And
- 12:03Speaker 5: just kind of like, remember is just because they're not
- 12:06Speaker 5: signing now doesn't mean they're necessarily de committing. So we'll
- 12:11Speaker 5: see and then they have, of course have the big
- 12:12Speaker 5: situation is going to be you know, Frank and everything.
- 12:14Speaker 5: So rumors are a swirling that they are and that's
- 12:20Speaker 5: why we're bringing in the big guns.
- 12:22Speaker 4: In the next segment, Shaye Dixon on three Sports is
- 12:25Speaker 4: going to join us when we come back here.

- 14:01Speaker 4: Welcome back in OTV here live from the Raising Cage Studio.
- 14:05Speaker 4: Let's go to our guy now, Shaye Dixon on three
- 14:08Speaker 4: Sports Bengal Tiger on three is the handle to follow
- 14:12Speaker 4: along all day long. Shae, what's going on, brother?
- 14:15Speaker 3: How we doing.
- 14:17Speaker 4: Doing well?
- 14:17Speaker 2: I'm actually I was having some breakfast with my parents.
- 14:20Speaker 2: I'm sitting in their living room. They got the big
- 14:22Speaker 2: screen on you guys, and we paused it and now
- 14:26Speaker 2: we're here.
- 14:27Speaker 4: Absolutely shout out to the parentals there. We appreciate it. Well,
- 14:31Speaker 4: we're about to see a beautiful picture of you.
- 14:33Speaker 3: Yeah, baby boy, they sure are. We appreciate the time, Shay.
- 14:37Speaker 4: Obviously today incredibly busy day for you, So a lot
- 14:41Speaker 4: to get into, but just kind of overall thoughts with
- 14:44Speaker 4: a coaching change with a Lane Kiffin higher with a
- 14:47Speaker 4: class that was really still held together and looked really
- 14:51Speaker 4: really strong. I know here at the finish line there's
- 14:53Speaker 4: a couple of things to get to, which we will,
- 14:54Speaker 4: but just overall thoughts right now where LSU is on
- 14:57Speaker 4: this class.
- 15:00Speaker 2: It was one of the more hectic Tuesdays, or I
- 15:02Speaker 2: guess the eve more hectic eve before a signing period
- 15:07Speaker 2: or signing day that we've seen. And it's just I
- 15:10Speaker 2: think in large part because a the calendar, I mean,
- 15:14Speaker 2: you into regular season you sign a head coach and
- 15:17Speaker 2: a few days later you have to put together a
- 15:19Speaker 2: recruiting class, and on top of that, the oars are
- 15:24Speaker 2: on era that shift. You know, there wasn't a lot
- 15:26Speaker 2: of wholesale change when Brian Kelly got here. It was
- 15:28Speaker 2: a small class and it was almost all Louisiana guys.
- 15:32Speaker 2: And remember it was in mid December, so there was
- 15:35Speaker 2: three weeks for guys to either you know, part ways
- 15:39Speaker 2: or ad or stick. And really all we talked about
- 15:42Speaker 2: was Bryce Underwood through that stretch and how he had
- 15:45Speaker 2: gone to Michigan. So this felt a bit different because
- 15:49Speaker 2: Lane came in and said, hey, look, these guys don't
- 15:53Speaker 2: fit kind of what we're doing. Parted ways, he took
- 15:56Speaker 2: some commits, he added two commits from Ole Miss. He's
- 15:59Speaker 2: going to have a third today, I believe. And really
- 16:03Speaker 2: the heavy set part of it was the wide receivers,
- 16:05Speaker 2: and I think that when you look at it, they'll
- 16:09Speaker 2: ultimately probably end up with the same range of receivers total,
- 16:13Speaker 2: probably four of them. But it seems that he said, hey, look,
- 16:17Speaker 2: I think these two guys fit my scheme a little
- 16:20Speaker 2: better and made the move. And really that's kind of
- 16:23Speaker 2: the cost of doing business at kind of crunch time here.
- 16:27Speaker 2: When you hire a head coaching a few days later,
- 16:29Speaker 2: you expect him to identify the roster needs, look at
- 16:32Speaker 2: the class, and decide from there kind of how to build.
- 16:36Speaker 5: Yeah, she So, what's so intriguing to me is like,
- 16:39Speaker 5: so LSU has a commitment list that they have they've
- 16:42Speaker 5: been working on for I'm sure years on a lot
- 16:45Speaker 5: of the guys that are committed and were ready to
- 16:47Speaker 5: sign with LSU. Of course that's not Lane Kiffin's guys.
- 16:52Speaker 5: That's not his list that he's been working on. But
- 16:54Speaker 5: I assume that there's a lot of like crossover guys
- 16:56Speaker 5: that Lane was committing and trying to get committed to
- 16:58Speaker 5: Ole miss this whole time. What kind of are you saying?
- 17:02Speaker 5: A lot of guys that are committed to LSU that
- 17:05Speaker 5: are expected to potentially sign that do you know probably
- 17:10Speaker 5: have a relationship from the recruiting process with Lane.
- 17:14Speaker 2: Yeah, there's a handful. And really, you know, the head coaches,
- 17:18Speaker 2: it's tough to be the person who recruits everywhere. So
- 17:21Speaker 2: Pete Golding was the guy who really was all over
- 17:24Speaker 2: Louisiana and had a relationship with a lot of these
- 17:26Speaker 2: guys and it's obviously now the permanent head coach at
- 17:29Speaker 2: all Miss. But I thought the notable thing there was
- 17:31Speaker 2: that a lot of the top guys in the state,
- 17:35Speaker 2: beyond Blaine Bradford who's going to Ohio State, didn't leave,
- 17:40Speaker 2: and you went through a whole coaching change and didn't
- 17:42Speaker 2: really have any turnover. I mean, I think they had
- 17:45Speaker 2: one d commit maybe two in that whole stretch of
- 17:48Speaker 2: a month plus and then you land on Lane and
- 17:51Speaker 2: here we are where beyond kind of the attrition that
- 17:55Speaker 2: happened yesterday with the new coaching staff going over how
- 17:58Speaker 2: they felt like today should go, there hasn't been any movement. So, yeah,
- 18:03Speaker 2: there's flips, Yeah there's guys thinking about waiting, but there
- 18:07Speaker 2: wasn't this wholesale kind of drop off of the class.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Which is most notably of all the firings was Penn State.
- 18:16Speaker 2: Almost all of their class got gutted and they still
- 18:19Speaker 2: don't have a head coach. So if you're LSU, you're
- 18:22Speaker 2: sitting pretty right now. If you consider Laying to have
- 18:25Speaker 2: been target number one. You got them, you didn't have
- 18:29Speaker 2: to wait past the early signing period, you didn't have
- 18:31Speaker 2: to do any of the playoff debate, do we go
- 18:34Speaker 2: into the portal era and not of a head coach
- 18:37Speaker 2: And now you're kind of grooving right through, which is
- 18:40Speaker 2: an easy class to manage, I think with fifteen guys
- 18:43Speaker 2: in it right now?
- 18:44Speaker 4: All right, so Chay you briefly mentioned it. There you
- 18:47Speaker 4: two big five star defensive tackles. They are going to
- 18:51Speaker 4: delay their signing at least that is the report it
- 18:54Speaker 4: And maybe if there's clarity over the next day day
- 18:57Speaker 4: and a half with the staff, maybe that changes. But
- 18:59Speaker 4: what is the lay is with your two prize deepensive tackles.
- 19:05Speaker 2: Yes, so here last night, I guess it was and
- 19:08Speaker 2: it had sort of been brewing both of them through
- 19:11Speaker 2: their representation, both Lamar Brown and Richard Anderson. And Anderson
- 19:15Speaker 2: is the number one d lineman in America coming out
- 19:18Speaker 2: of car and Lamar Brown here at you High on campus,
- 19:22Speaker 2: I mean at LSU is the number one athlete and
- 19:25Speaker 2: not often as a you know whatever. He is six'
- 19:28Speaker 2: five two eighty, five the number one athlete in the.
- 19:31Speaker 2: Country he's also the number one overall prospect of the.
- 19:33Speaker 2: Country and we haven't talked about that, enough but they
- 19:37Speaker 2: both said they were going to delay things just to feel. Out,
- 19:42Speaker 2: hey who's on this, staff, Right and they're both you,
- 19:45Speaker 2: Linemen so there's a lot going on With Blake. Baker
- 19:48Speaker 2: they're both close With Frank, wilson so there's questions. There
- 19:52Speaker 2: but from kind of digging through the, NIGHT i can
- 19:56Speaker 2: tell you all that late last, Night Blane, Kevin Blake,
- 20:00Speaker 2: baker a number of other, People Bryce, brown the head,
- 20:03Speaker 2: Coach vanna Carr all had discussions AND i believe the
- 20:08Speaker 2: exact QUOTE i can give you is through his agent
- 20:13Speaker 2: that they feel a lot better about the, situation a
- 20:15Speaker 2: lot more, clarity and now there is a chance he does.
- 20:19Speaker 2: Sign SO i had a little bit more skepticism About
- 20:24Speaker 2: anderson and maybe when he would sign Than i'd do
- 20:27Speaker 2: With Lamar. Brown BUT i thought that both would end
- 20:30Speaker 2: up AT. Lsu and this is a three day window,
- 20:33Speaker 2: here So wednesday To friday you could sign any of those.
- 20:35Speaker 2: DAYS i wouldn't be shocked at all both of those
- 20:39Speaker 2: guys tying.
- 20:40Speaker 3: Today so have you seen the MOST i guess? Indecision what?
- 20:46Speaker 5: Rightfully So eline comes in and he solidifies the offensive, side,
- 20:50Speaker 5: Right so is the most indecision coming on the defensive
- 20:53Speaker 5: side of the.
- 20:53Speaker 2: Ball it, is and that's where you're most. NOTABLE i,
- 20:57Speaker 2: mean your two highest ranked. Players you're two five stars
- 21:00Speaker 2: that are delignemen on that side of the, Ball so
- 21:02Speaker 2: obviously it takes a lot of the. Focus but the
- 21:06Speaker 2: only other guy who is saying That i'm not sure
- 21:08Speaker 2: If i'm signing today or not Is Haven. Finney he's
- 21:12Speaker 2: their highest ranked corner coming out Of, california and his
- 21:16Speaker 2: dad's been very straightforward four months long Before Brian kelly was,
- 21:21Speaker 2: fired and through it it was If Corey raymond's, there
- 21:25Speaker 2: my son's going there because he wants to be developed
- 21:27Speaker 2: By Corey. Raymond If Corey raymond is not, there we
- 21:30Speaker 2: are going to need to rethink. Things but he's remained,
- 21:34Speaker 2: committed and they said they may take a day or
- 21:37Speaker 2: two to kind of go over. Things BUT i get
- 21:40Speaker 2: the sense That lane and the staff behind closed doors
- 21:43Speaker 2: are having to come up with some answers or at
- 21:46Speaker 2: least to make, guys you, know, parents feel a little
- 21:49Speaker 2: bit better about where things. Stand and he's another who
- 21:52Speaker 2: says he may wait till. LATER i won't be surprised
- 21:56Speaker 2: at all if he just goes goes ahead and does
- 21:58Speaker 2: it this, week given he's a forty kid who's remained
- 22:01Speaker 2: COMMITTED lsu for a year almost and that doesn't. Happen
- 22:05Speaker 2: often say.
- 22:07Speaker 5: Educate, me BECAUSE i don't follow a lot of the.
- 22:09Speaker 5: Recruiting so if they decide not to sign in this
- 22:14Speaker 5: early signing period and they wait until the, second does
- 22:18Speaker 5: that mean they cannot enroll early at the?
- 22:20Speaker 3: University that is.
- 22:22Speaker 2: Correct so guys who are early in rollies are obviously
- 22:28Speaker 2: a bit more pressed to go ahead and make that decision.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Now and if you're not an early in, rolie meaning
- 22:33Speaker 2: you're going to stay in high school through the spring,
- 22:35Speaker 2: semester it's not that big of a. Deal you could
- 22:38Speaker 2: wait Till february if you knew that you had a.
- 22:40Speaker 2: Spot you knew that from redshirt, nil everything to, pitch
- 22:46Speaker 2: the playing, time if it was all the, same it
- 22:48Speaker 2: wouldn't be that big of a. Deal you're not going
- 22:50Speaker 2: to lose your. Spot BUT i think they'll get the
- 22:54Speaker 2: bulk of it done here and then they'll fill up
- 22:58Speaker 2: in the. Portal and that's obviously laying bread and, butter and,
- 23:01Speaker 2: then as upset as it makes, me the value bash
- 23:05Speaker 2: and drinking beer at four am is no longer and
- 23:09Speaker 2: not MANY i wouldn't be surprised if they didn't sign
- 23:11Speaker 2: anybody In. FEBRUARY i think the last kid he signed
- 23:15Speaker 2: In february might have Been dominic, McKinley and it was
- 23:17Speaker 2: only because The katie and it does like the whole
- 23:20Speaker 2: school together there with multiple sports and SO i think
- 23:24Speaker 2: he did like a de Factor december one and then
- 23:27Speaker 2: did a real one with the school In. February but,
- 23:30Speaker 2: yes for the guys who want to be early, enrollies
- 23:33Speaker 2: you would have to sign in these next three.
- 23:35Speaker 4: Days catching up with our, Guys Shay dixon here ON Otb.
- 23:38Speaker 4: Shaw you Mentioned Corey raymond, there and you, know obviously
- 23:42Speaker 4: we think the world Of Corey. RAYMOND i mean he
- 23:44Speaker 4: was A ga When flynn AND i were playing FOR.
- 23:46Speaker 4: LSUO i mean he IS lsu threw and three played For.
- 23:48Speaker 4: Lshoe we know all that founder OF, dbu the whole.
- 23:50Speaker 4: DEAL i know he put out a tweet yesterday kind
- 23:53Speaker 4: of like the resume speaks for, itself and it certainly.
- 23:55Speaker 4: DOES i, Mean Monsieur delaying goes from third Team ALL
- 23:58Speaker 4: adc to potentially winning The Thorpe award just in a
- 24:01Speaker 4: couple of months With Corey, Raymond, like what's the latest?
- 24:05Speaker 4: There BECAUSE i think as much as anybody it's Like
- 24:08Speaker 4: Blake baker, obviously And Corey raymond's right there with. Him
- 24:12Speaker 4: as far as guys you would try to, RETAIN i would, think, YEAH.
- 24:16Speaker 2: I think, so and look they're. Both While lane has
- 24:21Speaker 2: not come out and said, anything he didn't fly down
- 24:23Speaker 2: a bunch of defensive. Coaches it was all offensive coaches
- 24:27Speaker 2: and that's clearly where else you needed a pretty much total,
- 24:30Speaker 2: overhaul and that's why you go out and get a
- 24:32Speaker 2: guy Like. Lane, defensively we haven't heard really. ANYTHING i,
- 24:37Speaker 2: mean there's been some buzz out there About Kyle williams
- 24:40Speaker 2: and just how long does he want to do this
- 24:42Speaker 2: after kind of doing it for his first. Year but beyond,
- 24:45Speaker 2: that the only talk is If Blake baker gets a
- 24:49Speaker 2: job Like kulane Is alma, mater would he take man he,
- 24:53Speaker 2: Leaves but Then Kevin peeples And Jake, golsen like the
- 24:57Speaker 2: guys that came with him From missouri when he was,
- 24:59Speaker 2: decent and return TO, lsu and with that you would
- 25:03Speaker 2: have a NEW. Dc and then what does THAT dc
- 25:07Speaker 2: view of the cornerback spot or Of Queer? Raymond so
- 25:11Speaker 2: right NOW i would consider those spots safe and the
- 25:14Speaker 2: only time to start monitoring it is if you hear
- 25:17Speaker 2: That Blake baker is named Tou lane's head.
- 25:19Speaker 5: Coach all, Right, SHAY i can't talk to you and
- 25:24Speaker 5: ask you questions without asking like the most important question
- 25:27Speaker 5: on any football, team like what are we doing at?
- 25:29Speaker 3: Quarterback?
- 25:30Speaker 5: Here i'm looking at this committed list AND i don't
- 25:32Speaker 5: see any name with A q and A b next to.
- 25:36Speaker 4: Now Ole Miss Reese wise was committed To Ole, Miss,
- 25:39Speaker 4: shay And matt's, right there's no quarterback on THE lsu,
- 25:42Speaker 4: List but could there?
- 25:43Speaker 3: Be we have one scholarship quarterback right now with pads.
- 25:47Speaker 2: On, YEAH i will first in. Form i'll give you
- 25:52Speaker 2: an answer the Answers, Yes lane And. Duckworth they have
- 25:55Speaker 2: made a late push for this is a guy who
- 25:57Speaker 2: is committed To South, carolina is From. Bamdily he's the
- 26:00Speaker 2: top ten, quarterback dual threat and multi. SPORT i, mean
- 26:04Speaker 2: he's a really good, basketball, baseball. Track he does it
- 26:07Speaker 2: all so pretty highly sought after, prospect and they had
- 26:11Speaker 2: tried to flip him And South carolina sort of doubled,
- 26:14Speaker 2: down and then over the past forty eight hours they've
- 26:16Speaker 2: gone after it again and He South carolina expects him
- 26:20Speaker 2: to sign today if he, doesn't then it becomes something
- 26:23Speaker 2: to obviously pay attention. To but when we think about
- 26:27Speaker 2: immediate needs and what's going to happen next, YEAR i
- 26:30Speaker 2: don't think that the quarterback is on the, roster AND
- 26:33Speaker 2: i would doubt That lane is starting a true freshman
- 26:35Speaker 2: even if they landed someone Like Landon. Duckworths so given
- 26:39Speaker 2: that he found his starting quarterback In Trinidad chambliss On
- 26:44Speaker 2: twitter and managed to go eleven and, ONE i can
- 26:47Speaker 2: imagine that when they get to the. Portal As lane
- 26:51Speaker 2: said the other, day IF i could get guys like
- 26:53Speaker 2: that To ole miss imagine with THE nil backing and
- 26:56Speaker 2: that logo on my, Chest so that can do in the.
- 26:58Speaker 2: Portal you know this, cycle so that Starts january, second fourteen,
- 27:03Speaker 2: days and remember there is no spring. Portal so what
- 27:08Speaker 2: you do now in these next three days of high,
- 27:09Speaker 2: school what you do in between now in Mid january
- 27:14Speaker 2: with retention for the draft or for, transfers and then
- 27:17Speaker 2: what you add Between january second and. Sixteenth none of
- 27:22Speaker 2: us are good at. MATH i don't know how many
- 27:23Speaker 2: days that, is forty or. Something your whole roster has
- 27:27Speaker 2: to be put together in that. Time SO i Think
- 27:30Speaker 2: that's why it was so paramount That birge was and
- 27:34Speaker 2: everyone involved was able to not only get lay but
- 27:36Speaker 2: get it done now to where you're not wasting any
- 27:40Speaker 2: of those days that obviously are pretty precious when it
- 27:43Speaker 2: comes to what you're going to look like next year
- 27:45Speaker 2: as a.
- 27:46Speaker 4: Team all, Right, shaye last one before we let you. Go,
- 27:50Speaker 4: Obviously i'm sure you're going to be on the phone
- 27:51Speaker 4: a lot, today kind of watching and. Waiting give us
- 27:55Speaker 4: maybe one or two of your biggest things that you'll
- 27:58Speaker 4: be watching today waiting on trying to find out information.
- 28:01Speaker 2: On, yeah there'll be one FLIP i think more From Ole.
- 28:05Speaker 2: Miss lane's already flipped two, Guys Corey, barber another receiver
- 28:09Speaker 2: who is the top one fifty, guy you, know top
- 28:12Speaker 2: twenty receiver in the, country so very highly thought of
- 28:14Speaker 2: by the rankings, teams and Obviously lane had him. Committed Old,
- 28:18Speaker 2: miss he's already, decommitted so that one's lining. Up BUT
- 28:21Speaker 2: i will tell you that my Man SAM. S fiegelman
- 28:25Speaker 2: With rivals just said that he kind of reiterated WHAT
- 28:30Speaker 2: i had already said About Richard anderson potentially signing WITH
- 28:32Speaker 2: lsu this, week and after talking With lane and the
- 28:36Speaker 2: staff last, night but added That Lamar brown's, camp we'll
- 28:40Speaker 2: be meeting with or talking WITH lsu this morning and
- 28:44Speaker 2: there's a very good likelihood both get signed by the
- 28:47Speaker 2: end of the. Week so press a little panic button
- 28:50Speaker 2: yesterday and maybe today we can cool down a, bit all, Right.
- 28:53Speaker 5: Jake led to, you who got one more? Question that's
- 28:55Speaker 5: a little Game i've been like like to play this,
- 28:58Speaker 5: WEEK a little fill in the blank for. You when
- 29:00Speaker 5: the dust settles on THIS lsu recruiting, class THE Lsu
- 29:04Speaker 5: tigers are going to have a top blank class in the.
- 29:08Speaker 2: Country, well they only have fifteen, commits so right now they're.
- 29:12Speaker 2: ELEVEN i think the only narrative they are because you
- 29:15Speaker 2: get into the top. Ten here's the better. One that
- 29:18Speaker 2: is that blue chip or excuse, me average. Rating so
- 29:21Speaker 2: like for the fifteen guys with their average rating is
- 29:25Speaker 2: you know like they. Get if you're above a ninety
- 29:27Speaker 2: you're a four. Star if you're into the ninety six,
- 29:29Speaker 2: sevens you've become a five. Star they're number two in
- 29:32Speaker 2: the country behind An, oregon And oregon's got one of
- 29:34Speaker 2: the best classes in the. Country so it may not
- 29:37Speaker 2: be your typical twenty five to thirty man. Class but
- 29:40Speaker 2: for the fifteen guys they, HAVE i mean they punch
- 29:44Speaker 2: at a highway. CLASS i, mean pound for, pound these
- 29:46Speaker 2: guys are are pretty legit if they can get them
- 29:50Speaker 2: across the finish. Line so that's a little BIT i, have,
- 29:54Speaker 2: Right i'll played a little of your, Game. Flynn i'm
- 29:56Speaker 2: Sure i've got to get a. BREAK i had a

- 36:58Speaker 3: That it was just running backs.
- 37:00Speaker 4: Cowards some big news From shay, though that it's trending
- 37:05Speaker 4: in a good direction For Lamar brown And Richard. ANDERSON
- 37:07Speaker 4: i thought that was big, news almost saying that they
- 37:11Speaker 4: could sign in this early signing. Period we're talking about
- 37:17Speaker 4: two true five stars and guys THAT lsu needs pretty.
- 37:23Speaker 4: Bad Kyle williams did a hell of a job with
- 37:27Speaker 4: the defensive tackles that he had that he. Inherited like
- 37:31Speaker 4: anytime you get a guy In jacob And guillory who
- 37:35Speaker 4: had been here for five years before you got, here
- 37:37Speaker 4: and then he plays his best, football, right you're doing
- 37:41Speaker 4: the right things and developing that player and teaching that
- 37:44Speaker 4: player the things that you knew as a player and
- 37:48Speaker 4: now you know as a. Coach, Right And jacobean played
- 37:51Speaker 4: he played really well this, year like when you go
- 37:53Speaker 4: watch and you look at the Grow Football focus grades
- 37:56Speaker 4: and he gave you something different and you saw us
- 37:59Speaker 4: playing time, increase, increase, increase and.
- 38:01Speaker 3: By the end of, IT i, mean he was your.
- 38:02Speaker 4: Guy but when you look at the totality of the,
- 38:07Speaker 4: group there might be like high ranking star guys in,
- 38:11Speaker 4: there but it wasn't what THIS lsu defense. Needed, sure
- 38:14Speaker 4: like obouantastic it, Is AND i don't look at what
- 38:18Speaker 4: we'll see what happens With. Kyle obviously we're rooting for.
- 38:21Speaker 4: Him because we're, biased AND i think he's one of
- 38:23Speaker 4: the best and one of the Best i've ever played.
- 38:26Speaker 4: With but these two, guys i've seen them both Now
- 38:29Speaker 4: lamar obviously a ton in person my son plays for you,
- 38:32Speaker 4: high but also Seeing anderson at car watch some of
- 38:37Speaker 4: their tape last week they played against evangel watching some of, That,
- 38:41Speaker 4: like he's the real, deal and he's the body type
- 38:43Speaker 4: that this defense is looking.
- 38:44Speaker 3: For that's another, thing like you got to, recruit you
- 38:48Speaker 3: what your scheme.
- 38:49Speaker 4: Is LIKE i Love Bo, Diddley Bo, davis but he
- 38:53Speaker 4: was recruiting three hundred and thirty, five three hundred and
- 38:56Speaker 4: forty five pounds defensive.
- 38:57Speaker 3: Tackles that's not what this scheme. Is there's schemes for,
- 39:01Speaker 3: that but it's not this.
- 39:03Speaker 4: One and so you get there and you're, like, well
- 39:06Speaker 4: the scheme calls for, this but the talent is giving
- 39:09Speaker 4: that that has to match. Up and that's WHY i
- 39:12Speaker 4: think it was such a work in progress For, kyle
- 39:14Speaker 4: And kyle did a really good job of trying to
- 39:16Speaker 4: figure out exactly the best case scenario for what he.
- 39:20Speaker 4: Had these two, guys they're going to thrive if in
- 39:24Speaker 4: fact it Is Blake baker system, NOW i think they
- 39:26Speaker 4: can thrive in multiple. Systems but for What blake wants
- 39:28Speaker 4: to do going north south on the defensive, Line.
- 39:31Speaker 5: Yeah for a defensive lineman to be the number one
- 39:33Speaker 5: rank prospect in the country.
- 39:34Speaker 4: And then the number one, Athlete, yeah that's never can
- 39:39Speaker 4: you remember ever seeing. That it's always a receiver or
- 39:41Speaker 4: maybe maybe a, linebacker maybe a quarterback in high school
- 39:45Speaker 4: who's going to play something different in.
- 39:46Speaker 5: College usually the big line THAT i think they're good,
- 39:48Speaker 5: athletes but they're just you, know. Big they might be
- 39:51Speaker 5: able to like shoot a basketball a little, bit but
- 39:54Speaker 5: that's about the extent of their.
- 39:55Speaker 3: Athleticism exactly what you.
- 40:00Speaker 5: Said With Kyle, williams he certainly not probably what he
- 40:04Speaker 5: was looking for in the defensive lineman like coming, in
- 40:06Speaker 5: but that's it was his first year and he did
- 40:09Speaker 5: an excellent.
- 40:10Speaker 3: JOB i, mean just one year being in.
- 40:12Speaker 5: College, FOOTBALL i can tell, you and this is a
- 40:14Speaker 5: biased bias opinion and not knowing who many defensive line
- 40:19Speaker 5: coaches are in the, Country kyle's got to be one
- 40:21Speaker 5: of the top defensive line coaches interior defensive line coaches
- 40:25Speaker 5: in the country just from his, experience the way he
- 40:28Speaker 5: can communicate and relate to men.
- 40:32Speaker 4: The.
- 40:32Speaker 5: Way i'm sure he can speak to recruits in their
- 40:36Speaker 5: families and tell him the. Plan Like kyle's a nobs. Guy,
- 40:39Speaker 5: like he's not gonna he's going to tell you exactly
- 40:41Speaker 5: how it. Is he's not going to, say, oh you're doing, great,
- 40:44Speaker 5: man you're doing so. Good just keep, on keep keep
- 40:46Speaker 5: up the good. Work, no he's going to tell you
- 40:48Speaker 5: like it, is this isn't good, enough this is what
- 40:49Speaker 5: you got to work, on and here's how you do.
- 40:51Speaker 5: It because you know, why BECAUSE i had to do it,
- 40:53Speaker 5: too AND i did it for a long. Time and
- 40:56Speaker 5: if he wanted to AND i don't, know like we'll all,
- 40:58Speaker 5: see well that's that's a huge piece of the puzzle to,
- 41:01Speaker 5: me defensively Is, kyle BECAUSE i know how good he
- 41:06Speaker 5: is and how important he could be and how much
- 41:08Speaker 5: of an asset he could, be especially when you got
- 41:10Speaker 5: these type recruits coming just where his hit where his mindset,
- 41:16Speaker 5: is like does like if he wanted to go down
- 41:18Speaker 5: to coaching drain and just be, like you, Know i'm
- 41:20Speaker 5: gonna be an awesome d line, coach then, Yeah i'll
- 41:22Speaker 5: get a coordinator. Job YEAH i can be a head
- 41:24Speaker 5: coach like he could do any of. It he could
- 41:25Speaker 5: do is he could go as far as he wanted.
- 41:27Speaker 5: To just where does what does he want to? Do
- 41:30Speaker 5: So i'll i'll be. Excited BUT i mean when you
- 41:32Speaker 5: got to when you got the number one recruit or
- 41:34Speaker 5: prospect in the country at the defensive line position and
- 41:38Speaker 5: saying that he wants to be the Greatest tiger of all,
- 41:39Speaker 5: time that's a pretty, good, uh it's pretty good cornerstone
- 41:42Speaker 5: piece to your recruiting, class.
- 41:44Speaker 3: No question about.
- 41:45Speaker 4: IT i, mean number one defensive, lineman somebody that's from
- 41:48Speaker 4: right down the road In New. Orleans he's dominating FIVE
- 41:51Speaker 4: a and not just FIVE A louisiana. Talent But carr
- 41:55Speaker 4: had a schedule where they played teams from all over dominant.
- 41:58Speaker 4: There Lamar brown at You high the number one athlete,
- 42:02Speaker 4: AGAIN i can't really. Remember i'm sure there. Is there's
- 42:04Speaker 4: a lot of people that have a deep dive into
- 42:07Speaker 4: recruiting in half for twenty five thirty five, YEARS i
- 42:09Speaker 4: can't remember a defensive lineing being the number one overall
- 42:12Speaker 4: athlete in the. Country now because like for mostly uh You,
- 42:18Speaker 4: High Lamar brown plays offensive. Line now he comes in
- 42:21Speaker 4: and play some defensive line as. WELL i think he
- 42:23Speaker 4: projects more as a defensive lineman at the next, level
- 42:26Speaker 4: but that's still pretty. Impressive the fact that he can
- 42:29Speaker 4: be the number one overall athlete being you, know somebody
- 42:32Speaker 4: that's in the front seven on, defense always on the offensive.
- 42:35Speaker 4: Line like, again that's just not something you ever see
- 42:38Speaker 4: at a high. School it's typically like we laid out
- 42:40Speaker 4: a skill. Position what's his hand, says definitely bigger than
- 42:45Speaker 4: nine ease, bench definitely bigger than nine.
