  Speaker 2: If you want to book right there on the website,
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: you can certainly get that done. You can find out
• 14:46
  Speaker 2: all the information on the website. But if you just
• 14:48
  Speaker 2: want to pick up the phone, give them a call.
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: That is two two five nine five three eight one
• 14:52
  Speaker 2: five zero kind of have a conversation with them. I mean,
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: they are going to get you hydrated for this summer heat.
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: You can proactive, reactive. I mean they kind of deal
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: obviously with both their open Monday through Thursday nine thirty
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: to six pm, Friday through Sunday nine thirty am to
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: four thirty pm. And again that is go flow iv
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: dot com. All right, Tay, I'll throw it to you
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: before I kind of give some thoughts. You were at
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: practice the full time on Saturday. I was also there
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: on Saturday. So let's see if you know, see if
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: some of the things that we saw actually line up.
• 15:29
  Speaker 5: First thing, when I highlights the secondary, because they were
• 15:32
  Speaker 5: awful last year in fall practice, like you you could
• 15:35
  Speaker 5: kind of.
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: See it cut off.
• 15:36
  Speaker 5: You could come see it coming a little bit last year.
• 15:38
  Speaker 5: Like we had talked about their flaws, Yeah, coming into
• 15:40
  Speaker 5: the year last year, and that was the big concern.
• 15:42
  Speaker 5: I think the secondary looks really good, Like there's guys
• 15:45
  Speaker 5: battling for spots, like Stamps and Delane have kind of
• 15:48
  Speaker 5: been the top two for the most part, but like
• 15:50
  Speaker 5: Keen Jackson got in there and made place. DJ Pickett
• 15:53
  Speaker 5: looks the part already. The safety rotation which I love
• 15:57
  Speaker 5: that Hawse and Cooley both got the start.
• 16:00
  Speaker 2: It was a little bit bigger than I thought he
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: was off tape. No, no, oh Cooley.
• 16:04
  Speaker 7: Yeah.
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: I mean I'm not saying he's a giant, like he's
• 16:06
  Speaker 2: probably two eight two ten. On tape, he looked like
• 16:09
  Speaker 2: he was like one ninety five, yeah, somewhere around there.
• 16:12
  Speaker 2: Like I kind of went up and he made a play,
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm like, say zero Cooley and I forget what
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: staff Moanro was talking like, yeah, I was like, okay,
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: I did not have him playing that role and playing
• 16:23
  Speaker 2: that side. So he flashed him as well.
• 16:25
  Speaker 5: Yeah he's big. If this offensive line can be average,
• 16:31
  Speaker 5: Caden Durham has a chance to be all sec. I
• 16:33
  Speaker 5: think he looks phenomenal out there. I mean, also, what
• 16:37
  Speaker 5: you notice is seven on seven, eleven on eleven, Caden
• 16:41
  Speaker 5: Durham's getting the ball very often. Like I think eleven
• 16:45
  Speaker 5: on eleven each period we saw he got the ball
• 16:48
  Speaker 5: first play and then first two plays and seven to
• 16:50
  Speaker 5: seven they threw it to him out at the backfield
• 16:52
  Speaker 5: like they love going to Caden Durham. And then people
• 16:55
  Speaker 5: are gonna be surprised how versatile Bower Sharp is Yeah,
• 16:58
  Speaker 5: people talk about trade Desgreen. You know he's gonna move inside,
• 17:00
  Speaker 5: He's gonna move outside. I saw Bower Sharp lined up
• 17:03
  Speaker 5: at tight end with his hand in the dirt. I
• 17:04
  Speaker 5: saw him line up at slot receiver, and I saw
• 17:06
  Speaker 5: him line up at running back with Caden Durham. They
• 17:09
  Speaker 5: were on either side of Garrett Nosemier. That guy's gonna
• 17:11
  Speaker 5: play a lot of footballs as well.
• 17:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I was having a conversation with the strength staff
• 17:15
  Speaker 2: and they said, probably the biggest surprise, in a positive way,
• 17:20
  Speaker 2: of all the new people, be at high school or
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: be it people that came in through the portal, Bower
• 17:24
  Speaker 2: Sharp certainly is that guy didn't didn't quite know all
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: the things that he could do. And so we actually
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: kind of line up because the defensive backs was something
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: that I was like, Okay, this is this is better.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: This looks much better than it did a year ago.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: I mean, since you already went for they were terrible
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: last year. The law and the transfers looked the part.
• 17:47
  Speaker 2: They look like veteran players. Now pick it to somebody.
• 17:51
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's right out of the gates.
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's in Clemson South Carolina, but
• 17:57
  Speaker 2: at some point he has the look of some's going
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: to be hard to take off the field as a
• 18:02
  Speaker 2: true freshman. I don't know when that happens. I don't
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: know how he evolves as a player and if it's
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: later in the season. But he was in there against
• 18:12
  Speaker 2: the ones, I mean multiple multiple times. Now, he wasn't
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: running with the ones, you know specifically every single time out,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: but he was rotating in against the one offense. And
• 18:21
  Speaker 2: so that's somebody that looks like so far, he is
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: living up to all the billing we had out of
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: high school. But my biggest takeaway of the entire practice
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: that I saw from inside run to eleven on eleven
• 18:36
  Speaker 2: to whatever drill it was, is Kaden Durham is going
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: to be an all SEC running back. Ye I don't
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: know if his first team, I don't know if it's
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: the second team. And the only reason average, the only
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: reason it's going to be second team is because he
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: might not get the rushes that somebody else gets. Because
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: even last year, we're talking about somebody that had seven
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: hundred and fifty yards on the ground, averaged five and
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: a half yards per carry, and remember he had a
• 19:00
  Speaker 2: foot toe injury basically the final eight games, and he
• 19:06
  Speaker 2: was never fully healthy. I cannot tell you how many
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: times after a game we'd be getting on the team
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: plane and the coaches would be like, man, that run
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: that Cayden had if he was healthy, he hits his
• 19:17
  Speaker 2: head on the goalpost, like he would have finished that
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: in the end zone, right, I forget you know which
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: game it was, But he had a couple where he
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: broke out and look they were like sixty yard runs,
• 19:26
  Speaker 2: but he'd get caught before he got to the end zone.
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: And like he is just gritting his way through this
• 19:31
  Speaker 2: foot injury. And so being a true freshman, knowing you
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: have elite speed and you are fully healthy, that should
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: get LSU fans excited. And not only the seven hundred
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: and fifty yards on the ground, but he also added
• 19:44
  Speaker 2: twenty seven catches. That's a pretty big number that probably
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: puts him I think firmly it would put him in
• 19:51
  Speaker 2: top ten catches by a running back in a season.
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: Like it's kind of that category, like it's right there,
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: probably only on the verge of that, and and that's
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: got to be something that continues to go up as well.
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: Now it's training camp, so we didn't see a ton
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: and it was what day three or four, we didn't
• 20:10
  Speaker 2: see a ton of like blitzes and him having to
• 20:12
  Speaker 2: pick up guys off the edge or pick up a safety,
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: you know, coming on the backside of a blitz. That's
• 20:18
  Speaker 2: where he had to go up. In my opinion, that's
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: where you're gonna miss Josh Williams, because Josh Williams was
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: he was mister fixer, right, he was the guy that
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: would come and whatever the problem was, he would fix it. Now,
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: the ceiling might not be where Cadence was, but you
• 20:32
  Speaker 2: knew Josh was gonna be really good in pass protection
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: as well. That's got to go up because LSU's gonna
• 20:37
  Speaker 2: throw the football and you're gonna throw the football a lot,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and that look, you can't in today's college football, really
• 20:43
  Speaker 2: any level of football. You can't have a running back
• 20:46
  Speaker 2: that's only a two down back. He's got to be
• 20:48
  Speaker 2: a three down back, certainly with the way he can
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: catch the football. And so I want to see that.
• 20:53
  Speaker 2: And if he has that, if he's gone up a
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: couple steps in that, then I will I think I'm
• 20:57
  Speaker 2: already standing fully behind my all sees he like he'll
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: be a he'll be a first team guy if he
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: has thirty six catches, is really good in pass protection,
• 21:09
  Speaker 2: and doesn't have to come off the field, He's going
• 21:12
  Speaker 2: to be a thousand yard rusher of healthy. Oh yeah,
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: and that's gonna happen.
• 21:15
  Speaker 5: Like I'm good with him having twenty carries a game,
• 21:18
  Speaker 5: Caleb Jackson coming in and spelling him for maybe eight
• 21:21
  Speaker 5: Harlem Berry, maybe you know six or seven, Like I
• 21:24
  Speaker 5: want Kaden Durham to do the bulk of the work.
• 21:27
  Speaker 5: Last thing I noticed, anytime a player like Aaron Anderson
• 21:32
  Speaker 5: misses practice, it should stand out. It didn't. And that's
• 21:35
  Speaker 5: not a knock on Aaron Anderson. It's because the rest
• 21:38
  Speaker 5: of the receiver room's really good. Like I had heard
• 21:40
  Speaker 5: a couple of people, you know, cause like the first
• 21:42
  Speaker 5: couple of days of practice we weren't able to go
• 21:44
  Speaker 5: because it was like nine am Saturday. Was my first
• 21:46
  Speaker 5: time out there.
• 21:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I had heard so.
• 21:48
  Speaker 5: Many people say, oh, Dustin Hill, Dustin Hill, Dustin Hill.
• 21:50
  Speaker 5: And I'm like, okay. Every year, just like in the NFL,
• 21:53
  Speaker 5: there's a guy that people fall in love with. Dustin Hill.
• 21:55
  Speaker 5: Looks like he's gonna actually play and play a lot
• 21:57
  Speaker 5: of football. Nick Anderson looks like he's almost full healthy,
• 22:00
  Speaker 5: like Chris Hilden's out there catching balls like Kyle lark
• 22:03
  Speaker 5: and Anderson, Kyle Parker, Kyle.
• 22:05
  Speaker 2: Parker in the run game. And look, I know that's
• 22:08
  Speaker 2: not something that people want to hear a lot about
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: a receiver in the run game. They're asking their receivers
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: to do more on the edge. I don't know if
• 22:15
  Speaker 2: you noticed that. And again it's one practice. They got
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: some runs up where they're asking their receivers to do
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: their part, and Kyle Parker was a dog out there
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: on the edge. Now again, you've got ten receivers that
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: feel like they can go out there and find time.
• 22:31
  Speaker 2: And I don't know how that's going to work itself out,
• 22:33
  Speaker 2: but that feels like something that they're looking for is
• 22:36
  Speaker 2: receivers they can also do their part on the edges.
• 22:39
  Speaker 5: Well, Kelly's opening press conference that I had to go
• 22:42
  Speaker 5: to on Wednesday unsolicited mention Kyle Parker by name when
• 22:46
  Speaker 5: I asked about the receivers. Like anytime a coacher does
• 22:49
  Speaker 5: that when not being specifically asked about a player, that's
• 22:51
  Speaker 5: something I take notes.
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: I'll say this too. I had an offensive coach did
• 22:54
  Speaker 2: the same thing after practice. Well, yeah, he was really.
• 22:57
  Speaker 5: Good the first three or four games of the year,
• 22:59
  Speaker 5: maybe called the deep ball into UCLA and was kind
• 23:02
  Speaker 5: of hurt. The rest of the year, he looks good.
• 23:04
  Speaker 5: But Juwan Johnson is a guy that like he got
• 23:08
  Speaker 5: carries in the backfield, a ton of them on Saturday.
• 23:12
  Speaker 5: Like I left Saturday practice being like, Okay, if the
• 23:15
  Speaker 5: season started today, Jawan Johnson's your number two running back.
• 23:18
  Speaker 5: And you know when the two's were out there in
• 23:20
  Speaker 5: seven on seven he rotated in with with Michael van
• 23:23
  Speaker 5: Buren at quarterback. He didn't have the red jersey on,
• 23:25
  Speaker 5: but yeah, he lined up out wide, he lined up
• 23:28
  Speaker 5: there's a plan for you.
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: He lined up at.
• 23:30
  Speaker 5: Running back like he's gonna play.
• 23:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't think there's any question it. I'm be honest, Like,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: backup running back is a little bit of a worry
• 23:37
  Speaker 2: for me because you have two true freshmen. Now, I
• 23:43
  Speaker 2: I can't sit up here and act like I don't
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: always say it, because I do. Like, if you can
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: transition from high school to college fast, it's going to
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: be at running back. But still that might take four
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: five games, Like doesn't matter how good you are, Like,
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: think about all this stud running back like Leonard Fournetes
• 23:58
  Speaker 2: freshman year, was a grown man. But it took him
• 24:00
  Speaker 2: like three or four games. Because you've always been able
• 24:04
  Speaker 2: to get the football and hit a home run like
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: your head's on the goalpost. You got to learn how
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: to read it a little bit right. It's faster. You
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: got to take a seven yard run and not always
• 24:13
  Speaker 2: look for the seventy yard run. And Leonard did that
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: incredibly fast. But are these backs like J. T. Lindsay's
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: long man. His frame is going to be able to
• 24:22
  Speaker 2: add a ton more to it, Maybe not this year,
• 24:25
  Speaker 2: but certainly next year. And those young guys are going
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: to play. Caleb Jackson's got to be effective for this team.
• 24:32
  Speaker 2: He just has to be. There's no question about it.
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: Like as much as I think Cayden Dorman can be Superman,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: He's going to need a breather. He's gonna there's gonna
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: be a time in a big game where he hits
• 24:44
  Speaker 2: a long run and he taps the top of his helmet,
• 24:46
  Speaker 2: ask him to come out and when Caleb Jackson rolls
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: out there, they have to get production. He is one
• 24:53
  Speaker 2: of the most important players I think on this football team.
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: Certainly non starters because of what they have to have
• 25:00
  Speaker 2: him do, not what they would like for him to do.
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: They have to have him be successful when he's out there.
• 25:06
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean, at least just like you don't. You
• 25:08
  Speaker 5: don't have that short yardage back. And I understand Josh
• 25:12
  Speaker 5: Williams wasn't built like a short yardage back, but he
• 25:14
  Speaker 5: was damn good.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: He came back.
• 25:16
  Speaker 5: He was by by sixty year. Yeah, but he was
• 25:20
  Speaker 5: really good at it. Like kid En Durham could maybe
• 25:22
  Speaker 5: be that guy. But look, we talked about Jawan Johnson.
• 25:25
  Speaker 5: He's not really a short yardage guy. He's more of
• 25:28
  Speaker 5: a finesse guy. Kind of the same thing with Harlan
• 25:30
  Speaker 5: Berry and JT.
• 25:31
  Speaker 2: Lindsay.
• 25:31
  Speaker 5: There's gonna be a role for Caleb Jackson at least
• 25:33
  Speaker 5: in short yardaget at least early.
• 25:35
  Speaker 2: In the year.
• 25:35
  Speaker 5: Happen to be because you talked about it like it
• 25:37
  Speaker 5: might be easy to adjust as at a running back
• 25:40
  Speaker 5: as freshman. But they physically look like freshmen right now,
• 25:43
  Speaker 5: like they're they're a little on the lighter side. I
• 25:45
  Speaker 5: think they need to gain a little bit, so Calyb's
• 25:47
  Speaker 5: gonna have to play early.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: That's all I was saying. With with j T. You
• 25:51
  Speaker 2: can tell, like, so he just got here. I believe
• 25:53
  Speaker 2: in the summer he wasn't an earlier. You can tell,
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: like you can look at him and say, oh, that
• 25:58
  Speaker 2: guy can add fifteen pounds to frame with ease and
• 26:01
  Speaker 2: not lose anything. But he's not gonna do it right now,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: Like that's gonna take some time. Like Caleb Jackson is
• 26:09
  Speaker 2: going to be as important as any non starter on
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: this team offense or defense, because he's going to have
• 26:18
  Speaker 2: to give you something, like there has to be something there.
• 26:22
  Speaker 2: It doesn't matter what year you look at for LSU,
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: Like the most historic seasons that LSU's ever had, they've
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: had a bell cow, but they've also had players underneath
• 26:36
  Speaker 2: that bell coal that helped them win national championships. I mean,
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: you can look at it in three like there's five
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: backs and seven. There's five backs and eleven when they
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: got there and didn't win it, but does a damn
• 26:50
  Speaker 2: good football team there was five backs. Clyde's kind of
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: the outlier now because Clyd's kind of in the similar
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: situation that Barry finds himself in, or sorry, Durham finds
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: himself in. Because Barry, it's kind of like Emory and
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: you had TDP. He was a young player as well,
• 27:05
  Speaker 2: and but for the most part, and still those guys
• 27:08
  Speaker 2: made plays that year in nineteen, you're going to have
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: to have somebody step up, and it's got to be
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: Caleb Jackson because you've got two true freshmen behind him,
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: So certainly going to be somebody we continue to watch,
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: and he's going to have to continue to develop, continue
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: He looks apart and we know he's got a skill set,
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: but he's got to put all that together to help
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: LSU move the football. All right, let's talk a little recruiting.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: LSU had another big week and another big commit and
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: we'll do that when we come back here on OTB
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: off the bench, all right, Good to All Star toylet
• 27:45
  Speaker 2: baton rouge dot com. Like I know that summertime, it's
• 27:51
  Speaker 2: basically over, a lot of people go back to school
• 27:54
  Speaker 2: this week, and I'm sorry for that. I'm sorry that
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: that moment has come right somber vacation and being toes
• 28:01
  Speaker 2: in the sand. All that's gonna end. But it does
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: not mean that you still can't rent a Toyota from
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: All Star because you're gonna have a trip. Maybe it's
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: a trip to go watch the Tigers player. Maybe you
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: want to go watch the Saints play a road game
• 28:13
  Speaker 2: like whatever it might or maybe I mean, maybe you're
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: a high school football parent and you're playing, you know,
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: up in North Louisiana, and you're like, we need something
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: a little bit bigger. We got to drive up three
• 28:23
  Speaker 2: half four hours. Go rent a Toyota. Everything is available,
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: So if you need something bigger, they've got you. But
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: always remember you're buying new, if you're leasing, if you're renting,
• 28:33
  Speaker 2: everything they offer is always available in all three processes.

• 28:39
  Speaker 1: All Star Toyota, ft roos thatcom, Tiger's turntalkre's this is
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: off the bench.
• 29:10
  Speaker 2: All right, Welcome back in OTB one O four to five, ESPN,
• 29:14
  Speaker 2: Baton Rouge talk a little LSU football, LSU recruiting. Bryce
• 29:19
  Speaker 2: Kuon is going to join us to do so over
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: there now at on three Sports. Bryce, We appreciate the time, man,
• 29:25
  Speaker 2: congrats on the new gig.
• 29:27
  Speaker 7: Yeah, man, no better time to start. Right in the
• 29:31
  Speaker 7: midst of the beginning of fall camp, and obviously with
• 29:34
  Speaker 7: what the recruiting run LSU's been on. It's been quite
• 29:37
  Speaker 7: the run there too, So no better time to start
• 29:39
  Speaker 7: than right now.
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: They are absolutely on a heater. And it feels like
• 29:44
  Speaker 2: every time that we talk LSU recruiting this cycle, it's like,
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: all right, well, where did we leave off? Like who's
• 29:50
  Speaker 2: the last guy that they got that we talked about?
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: And you try to like kind of play catch up
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: a little bit, so for our listeners, like, what has
• 29:56
  Speaker 2: the last ten days or so been like for LSU
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: on the train?
• 30:01
  Speaker 7: Yeah, I mean I think you kind of hit the
• 30:02
  Speaker 7: nail on the head. And just in terms of if
• 30:04
  Speaker 7: you're a fan, you're a subscriber to one of the
• 30:06
  Speaker 7: many message boards on this beat, it's like, you know,
• 30:09
  Speaker 7: did you turn your head and you miss the commitment
• 30:11
  Speaker 7: or you turn your head and you miss kind of
• 30:13
  Speaker 7: the latest tidbit or nuggets. So it's really has been
• 30:15
  Speaker 7: a whirlwind, and you know, you kind of go back
• 30:17
  Speaker 7: to I guess Darius McKinley, which feels like it was
• 30:21
  Speaker 7: you know, five, six, seven days ago. It was just
• 30:23
  Speaker 7: a couple of days ago. Obviously had of a Kadian
• 30:26
  Speaker 7: over there, brother of Don McKinley, and a guy that
• 30:30
  Speaker 7: you know made his decision and really and truthfully, you know,
• 30:33
  Speaker 7: I didn't, I didn't. Nobody wanted to spoil it for him,
• 30:35
  Speaker 7: But this was a race that LSU was really kind
• 30:38
  Speaker 7: of leading the whole way. I mean, you go back
• 30:40
  Speaker 7: to the race for Dom and how LSU flips him
• 30:43
  Speaker 7: on New Year's a couple of week years ago, and
• 30:46
  Speaker 7: you know, just Darius and what he brings to the table.
• 30:48
  Speaker 7: That with the way that family feels about the LSU staff,
• 30:51
  Speaker 7: even you know, into transition from from Bo Davis to
• 30:54
  Speaker 7: to Kyle Williams, man, it's just just continued to stay silent.
• 30:57
  Speaker 7: So Darius McKinley obviously going to Hu's LSU was there,
• 31:01
  Speaker 7: and he's been on sow campus so many times, just
• 31:04
  Speaker 7: on family Day when the families allowed to practice. It's
• 31:07
  Speaker 7: it's the amount of unofficial visits he's taken, probably rivals
• 31:10
  Speaker 7: a guy like Lamar Brown, you know, who's right there
• 31:13
  Speaker 7: on campus. So that was a big pick up. And
• 31:17
  Speaker 7: then obviously Menust Geralds I mean good Grier, I mean Jacob,
• 31:21
  Speaker 7: I mean, I'm a guy that's from the state of Georgia.
• 31:23
  Speaker 7: Originally I watched Gerald's play up at Colin until multiple
• 31:27
  Speaker 7: troops for making the move, you know, down to Louisiana
• 31:30
  Speaker 7: and would you get a guy who and maybe I'm
• 31:33
  Speaker 7: a little biased here, but when you get a guy
• 31:35
  Speaker 7: here is from Louisiana, understands the culture, understands what LSU's about,
• 31:40
  Speaker 7: the relationship between his dad and Frank Wilson, and he
• 31:44
  Speaker 7: still gets to go play some really really great high
• 31:47
  Speaker 7: school balls six, A, seven, eight all over there in
• 31:50
  Speaker 7: the state of Georgia, which is really really good at
• 31:52
  Speaker 7: that level. I mean, it's just that's the kind of
• 31:55
  Speaker 7: development piece you look at and you say, Okay, he's
• 31:57
  Speaker 7: doing it against guys that are going to play D one,
• 32:00
  Speaker 7: and we know he's going to be able to make
• 32:01
  Speaker 7: the transition as long as the head's on straight. And
• 32:03
  Speaker 7: that was something they just had to bet in terms of,
• 32:06
  Speaker 7: you know, making sure that he understood that this wasn't,
• 32:09
  Speaker 7: you know, another six day high school football game. This
• 32:11
  Speaker 7: is this is the big Boy League. And so, you know,
• 32:14
  Speaker 7: LSU did a great job, I can say in terms
• 32:16
  Speaker 7: of making sure everything was right in this recruitment. This
• 32:19
  Speaker 7: was kind of an organ lean for a while, but
• 32:22
  Speaker 7: we had kept telling our subscribers, you know, hey, don't
• 32:25
  Speaker 7: count him out here. That relationship with his dad and
• 32:27
  Speaker 7: Frank Wilson who recruited him to Whole Miss and then
• 32:29
  Speaker 7: obviously with what he had going on in terms of
• 32:32
  Speaker 7: the amount of times he's been on campus, it just
• 32:35
  Speaker 7: never felt like LSU was out of it. And I
• 32:37
  Speaker 7: guess for Tiger fans it feels pretty good because if
• 32:39
  Speaker 7: we're telling you LSU's not out of it oftentimes and
• 32:41
  Speaker 7: not Austin Thomas and the crew are getting it done
• 32:43
  Speaker 7: and able to kind of, you know, put the nail
• 32:46
  Speaker 7: in the coffin with a lot of these recruitments.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and it really does bright seem like it's a
• 32:50
  Speaker 2: point of emphasis to shore up the defensive line and
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: kind of get it back to we all used to
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: know the LSU defensive line. That's not to say that
• 32:59
  Speaker 2: they haven't had in the past, but I mean you
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: would look up and there would be four pros in
• 33:04
  Speaker 2: front of you, and I know, like I like I
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: can speak on on our team, like our best player
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: on our championship team was a defensive tackle. It was
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: Glenn Dorsey. And it does feel like Kyle Williams now
• 33:14
  Speaker 2: coming in as a defensive line coach, he's got kind
• 33:17
  Speaker 2: of a prototype that he's looking at, like some of
• 33:20
  Speaker 2: these guys. They're not your three hundred and fifty pound
• 33:23
  Speaker 2: defensive tackles, like you have some of that, but it
• 33:25
  Speaker 2: looks like it's like the two hundred and seventy two
• 33:27
  Speaker 2: hundred and eighty five pound defensive tackles, and they really
• 33:30
  Speaker 2: kind of got, you know, a certain body type that
• 33:33
  Speaker 2: they're looking for at that position.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Yeah, i'd agree. And even being at a a you know,
• 33:37
  Speaker 7: fall practice on you're seeing type of drills to Kyle
• 33:41
  Speaker 7: Williams is running these guys through and they want to
• 33:43
  Speaker 7: be athletics stein Stett, I mean, yeah, you still have
• 33:47
  Speaker 7: to have, you know, your big run stuffers. You got
• 33:49
  Speaker 7: to have guys that can you know, take on a
• 33:50
  Speaker 7: double team and not be moved off the line. But
• 33:53
  Speaker 7: you got to have guys that are disruptors of this league,
• 33:55
  Speaker 7: right and you have to have guys that understand how
• 33:58
  Speaker 7: to use and utilize their hands. Have you know this
• 34:01
  Speaker 7: this ability to shed a block and then make a
• 34:03
  Speaker 7: play in the bankfield. They're not just you know, stalling
• 34:05
  Speaker 7: the offensive line. They're pushing them back and making some plays.
• 34:08
  Speaker 7: And you know, I think maybe the prototype of what
• 34:11
  Speaker 7: we're seeing currently on that D line is a guy
• 34:14
  Speaker 7: like a mod bro who put on too much weight
• 34:16
  Speaker 7: to even play defensive tackle. And now you're looking at
• 34:19
  Speaker 7: who they're recruiting in that kind of well to say
• 34:21
  Speaker 7: two seventy to two ninety range, Well they're looking at Okay,
• 34:24
  Speaker 7: how are they utilizing bros. The guy who can move
• 34:27
  Speaker 7: side to side? You know when he played along that
• 34:29
  Speaker 7: entire defensive line and rustling a couple of years ago
• 34:31
  Speaker 7: and that's what he was known for, and even playing
• 34:33
  Speaker 7: on the edge a little bit. So yeah, I just
• 34:35
  Speaker 7: think where they're moving in terms of how they want
• 34:38
  Speaker 7: to recruit this defensive line. Maybe you know, old school
• 34:41
  Speaker 7: fans are saying, hey, where's the big three hundred and
• 34:43
  Speaker 7: thirty pounder, right, I mean one those guys don't grow
• 34:46
  Speaker 7: on trees, and you got to make sure they can
• 34:47
  Speaker 7: move a little bit too. And the guy got like
• 34:49
  Speaker 7: Saverir Mitchell, who's you know, kid can be that for them.
• 34:52
  Speaker 7: But just in terms of how they're recruiting men you
• 34:54
  Speaker 7: look along that defensive line, I mean, uh, it's it
• 34:57
  Speaker 7: has the potential to be one of the better ones
• 34:59
  Speaker 7: when you go back to the recruiting rankings, just based
• 35:02
  Speaker 7: off of that potential, it's gonna be the chance to
• 35:04
  Speaker 7: be one of the better ones in LSU recruiting history.
• 35:08
  Speaker 2: Talking recruiting with Bryce Koon here on OTB and you
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: mentioned Lamar Brown there and we all know, I mean,
• 35:15
  Speaker 2: how highly touted he is. And it's so obviously like
• 35:17
  Speaker 2: him coming and committing and all that's like it's going
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: to be a big get. But even more importantly, like
• 35:23
  Speaker 2: from him being from U High being on campus then't
• 35:26
  Speaker 2: look full disclosure, our listener, that's where my kids go.
• 35:29
  Speaker 2: Our listeners know that way, talk about it all the
• 35:31
  Speaker 2: time and like that that look, that's even one of
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: my worries all the times, like, man, are they really
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: gonna want to go, you know, to school at LSU.
• 35:37
  Speaker 2: I sure hope, so that they've been on campus their
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: entire lives, Like it's always a concern. But so like
• 35:42
  Speaker 2: to get him from where he was at school and
• 35:44
  Speaker 2: now you've kind of got this little nice pipeline you've created.
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: But like last year you get Moses, now you get Brown,
• 35:50
  Speaker 2: and a guy that's here in the city can kind
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: of be that lead recruiter. So as much as like
• 35:55
  Speaker 2: on the field certainly helps, Like what Lamar Brown seems
• 35:58
  Speaker 2: like he's doing off the field for this class is
• 36:00
  Speaker 2: also helping as much or you know, maybe it seems
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: like right now because he's already locked in you know more.
• 36:07
  Speaker 7: Yeah, And I mean I've kind of taken a step
• 36:09
  Speaker 7: further here with you. The leader that Lamar Brown is
• 36:12
  Speaker 7: in the recruiting room is goes well beyond just the
• 36:15
  Speaker 7: tweet that he put out you know yesterday, right. I mean,
• 36:18
  Speaker 7: this is a guy who you know, has done the
• 36:20
  Speaker 7: camp circuit, has built relationships, you know, in terms of
• 36:24
  Speaker 7: whether it was on the under under camp circuit or
• 36:25
  Speaker 7: wherever it was. I mean, he's building those relationships in
• 36:29
  Speaker 7: terms of saying, hey, you know, come play with us.
• 36:32
  Speaker 7: You know, Richard Anderson was a guy who I think
• 36:35
  Speaker 7: is going to be an absolute monster out of vnic Car.
• 36:37
  Speaker 7: I mean that guy you talk about he's big and
• 36:39
  Speaker 7: can move that That's exactly what he is. You know,
• 36:41
  Speaker 7: he and Lamar are super tight. I've talked with Richard
• 36:43
  Speaker 7: multiple times about that and just in terms of they
• 36:46
  Speaker 7: want to build it. Deuce Gerald is the guy that
• 36:48
  Speaker 7: every single time Duce came to campus, whether it was
• 36:51
  Speaker 7: official or unofficial, Lamar Brown was around. And so you know,
• 36:54
  Speaker 7: I always say that that the love from Texas A
• 36:57
  Speaker 7: and them and even some of the appreciation that was real,
• 36:59
  Speaker 7: that was never fake. And I think they did a
• 37:02
  Speaker 7: great job of recruiting him. But else she was always
• 37:04
  Speaker 7: going to be hard to beat. And you know, here's
• 37:06
  Speaker 7: the last part of it that you were kind of
• 37:07
  Speaker 7: hinting at here. I mean, you know there's a safety
• 37:11
  Speaker 7: over there at Catholic that's looking to head up north,
• 37:13
  Speaker 7: and you're already trying to see in some of the
• 37:15
  Speaker 7: push with you know, a move Lsu made in terms
• 37:18
  Speaker 7: of bringing you know, a staffer from Ohio State down,
• 37:21
  Speaker 7: and you know, the big question is can you do
• 37:23
  Speaker 7: enough to flip Blaine Bradford right and Lamar Brown? If
• 37:27
  Speaker 7: I have to have a guy, a player, or a
• 37:29
  Speaker 7: recruit helping me in that room, Lamar is one of those.
• 37:33
  Speaker 7: He and Blaine have a good relationship, and you know,
• 37:36
  Speaker 7: I don't know if it's something that else she's going
• 37:38
  Speaker 7: to be able to do. Ohio States had a pretty
• 37:40
  Speaker 7: good track record developing some safeties and they got a
• 37:42
  Speaker 7: pretty dangle one good one up there right now that
• 37:45
  Speaker 7: they're trying to pattern Blaine afterwards. But it's just one
• 37:48
  Speaker 7: of those things. Man, We're having guys like that who
• 37:50
  Speaker 7: are vocal leaders and build offensive relationships helps you so much,
• 37:54
  Speaker 7: and it often goes I guess unseen because we just think, oh,
• 37:57
  Speaker 7: well they had more money here, they had this. No,
• 38:00
  Speaker 7: those relationships still do matter and they still play it
• 38:02
  Speaker 7: for a pivotal role.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: All right, Bryce, last one before we let you go,
• 38:07
  Speaker 2: and we certainly appreciate the time. What's next, Like what's
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: next for LSU? What are some names to be out
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: looking forward to see where they're going to end up?
• 38:17
  Speaker 2: And you know, kind of the next couple of guys
• 38:20
  Speaker 2: at LSU fans need to really kind of hone in on.
• 38:24
  Speaker 7: Yep, I'm gonna tell you Green County, Mississippi Ride receiver
• 38:27
  Speaker 7: Chase Matthews is announcing on August eighth. Talked with him yesterday.
• 38:31
  Speaker 7: You can check out that full interview over at the
• 38:34
  Speaker 7: Bingle Tiger. But just kind of a synopsis. Cortet Tankton
• 38:37
  Speaker 7: has really done a great job here. This is the
• 38:40
  Speaker 7: kind of a race right now for me, just talking
• 38:42
  Speaker 7: with some people on both sides and in both programs.
• 38:44
  Speaker 7: Really it's Auburn and LSU. Derek Nicks over there on
• 38:48
  Speaker 7: Auburn's staff, he's a Mississippi guy. I believe he's in
• 38:51
  Speaker 7: the Southern miss Hall of Fame there as well in
• 38:53
  Speaker 7: terms of his playing career. So he's got really good
• 38:56
  Speaker 7: roots in that state. Auburn's done a good job here man.
• 39:00
  Speaker 7: LSU's really pushing and kind of putting a hard selling him,
• 39:04
  Speaker 7: and his mom is a is a pivotal piece of this,
• 39:07
  Speaker 7: and so his mom has played a big role in
• 39:09
  Speaker 7: his recruitment. She's gone on all the visits. She loved LSU.
• 39:12
  Speaker 7: So that's what I'm watching On August eighth, he'll be
• 39:16
  Speaker 7: making that decision and then the end of the month,
• 39:17
  Speaker 7: just kind of another one. Darius Gray, the big offensive
• 39:20
  Speaker 7: lineman that you know from up there kind of in
• 39:23
  Speaker 7: the Maryland area. I mean, this is a kid start
• 39:26
  Speaker 7: of the Virginia area. It's one of those things where
• 39:29
  Speaker 7: he loves Brad days and a lot of questions is
• 39:32
  Speaker 7: would he be willing to, you know, move that far
• 39:36
  Speaker 7: away and just talking with him. The amount of times
• 39:38
  Speaker 7: he's been to campus, the amount of times that Brad
• 39:40
  Speaker 7: Davis has reached out. I mean, look, you don't have
• 39:43
  Speaker 7: to be a diehard LSU fandom to look up what
• 39:45
  Speaker 7: Davis has done in terms of recruiting good talent that
• 39:48
  Speaker 7: maybe he's not even sincessarily in the LSU region. I mean,
• 39:51
  Speaker 7: he's got a national reach with how he recruits, so
• 39:55
  Speaker 7: great is the guy that I believe announcements on August
• 39:57
  Speaker 7: of twenty second Right now, I would probably put it
• 40:01
  Speaker 7: as a South Carolina LSU race, which might you know,
• 40:03
  Speaker 7: peak some of the interests of LSU fans saying South
• 40:06
  Speaker 7: Carolina really the game talk with him, man, it's his
• 40:10
  Speaker 7: longest standing relationship. It's one that started very early on
• 40:13
  Speaker 7: in his high school career Tennessee Ohio State or in
• 40:17
  Speaker 7: that race too. But you know, the Tigers have a
• 40:19
  Speaker 7: really good chance. It's really snagged, you know, some really
• 40:22
  Speaker 7: good players before the season officially starts. And that's what
• 40:26
  Speaker 7: you want, right before these kids really get to the
• 40:28
  Speaker 7: meet and statas of their senior year, get that commitment,
• 40:31
  Speaker 7: maybe get them for one last visit so they can
• 40:33
  Speaker 7: experience that game day atmosphere and know that's something that
• 40:35
  Speaker 7: Gray is excited to do, regardless of where he commenced
• 40:39
  Speaker 7: on the twenty second. So, man, it's there's some potential
• 40:42
  Speaker 7: for some spils fireworks before LSU kicks off against Clemson.
• 40:46
  Speaker 2: Are there? He is Bryce Coon good enough to join
• 40:48
  Speaker 2: us at Bryce underscore Coon is to handle on social media.
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: Game a follow there at Bengal Tiger on three also
• 40:55
  Speaker 2: always throwing up LSU articles. Give them a follow as well. Bryce.
• 40:58
  Speaker 2: We appreciate the time man, look forward to our next conversation.
• 41:02
  Speaker 2: Thanks though, all right, we will step away and when
• 41:06
  Speaker 2: we come back to end our number one, Taylor's top three.
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: I like that alliteration there. It was Taylor's top five.
• 41:13
  Speaker 2: I think Taylor's top three sounds better. We can talk
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: about it during the break alliteration triple t. I don't know,
• 41:20
  Speaker 2: we'll figure it out. Taylor's going to give you a
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: list when we come back here on O TV. Off
• 41:24

  Speaker 5: There's a lot of top prospects that are gonna be
• 43:15
  Speaker 5: in the mix with the time BN. I think LSU
• 43:17
  Speaker 5: has done a great job. Like we were talking transfer
• 43:19
  Speaker 5: port a little bit earlier. LSU could start eighteen transfer
• 43:22
  Speaker 5: players potentially on this year's team, like whether it's high school,
• 43:25
  Speaker 5: whether it's transfer. I think Kelly has done an excellent job.
• 43:30
  Speaker 5: Number two for me, we're actually top two. We're gonna
• 43:32
  Speaker 5: be baseball, big, big stitch out over here. Julio Rodriguez,
• 43:38
  Speaker 5: I should say he homered over the weekend as the
• 43:41
  Speaker 5: Rangers beat As the Mariners beat the Rangers. He became
• 43:45
  Speaker 5: the first player in Major League history to have twenty
• 43:47
  Speaker 5: home runs and twenty stolen bases in each of his
• 43:51
  Speaker 5: first four seasons. Our guy made history over the weekend.
• 43:55
  Speaker 5: And then Number one for me, it's it's Bristol Motor Speedway.
• 43:58
  Speaker 5: We were talking about it, Darren, like the NASCAR sounds
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: the game like you were talking. Game one actually got postponed,
• 44:05
  Speaker 5: which would have been a really big pictures duel. But
• 44:09
  Speaker 5: the sounds of that the NASCAR like ninety one thousand
• 44:13
  Speaker 5: people in that stadium, right, yes, that is that is
• 44:16
  Speaker 5: the biggest ever for a Major League baseball game. It
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: was phenomenal. Like you saw Tennessee do this against Virginia
• 44:23
  Speaker 5: Tech a few years ago. They were at I think
• 44:27
  Speaker 5: they were at Talladego where they played that game, and
• 44:30
  Speaker 5: it was awesome. They played the football game. The baseball
• 44:33
  Speaker 5: game in Bristol was excellent. Like that's that. That's number
• 44:36
  Speaker 5: one over the weekend by a long shot.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Where would y'all like to see a baseball game be played?
• 44:43
  Speaker 2: Because they've actually branched out, we've had to field of dreams.
• 44:46
  Speaker 4: I want them to bring that back, Okay, I want
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: them to do that at least once a year.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree. That was awesome.
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: It's awesome.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah. I mean even like you know the memes that
• 44:56
  Speaker 2: came out with Kevin Costner looking around stuff, it was
• 44:58
  Speaker 2: still really really cool. Yeah, because baseball needs some juice, right,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: they need something.
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: Just let them start doing steroids again.
• 45:06
  Speaker 5: The conversation over the weekend, I heard a lot of
• 45:09
  Speaker 5: people bring up does this help baseball more? Nascar? And more?
• 45:13
  Speaker 5: I say it helps baseball more because like NASCAR is
• 45:15
  Speaker 5: such a niche market like, sure, but those fans are hardcore. Yeah,
• 45:21
  Speaker 5: those NASCAR fans are going to go to that baseball
• 45:23
  Speaker 5: game for sure. Like we talked about the sites, that
• 45:25
  Speaker 5: sounds it sounded like you were adding NASCAR race. I
• 45:27
  Speaker 5: think this is huge for baseball.
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, and you know, it's really smart having the Braids there.
• 45:31
  Speaker 2: I would say of the NASCAR community, the Braids are
• 45:35
  Speaker 2: probably the team that people root for the most. And
• 45:38
  Speaker 2: so well done. It was very, very cool. Hopefully baseball
• 45:42
  Speaker 2: does some more of that. Hey, the Braids actually won
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: a game on Sunday. It lost I think ten straight
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: on Sunday, So there you go. There's that as well.
• 45:49
