-- Bell's Pop Warner team was featured in a documentary. He declared on camera back then that in 5 years he'll be at #LSU as a starting cornerback. "Mark my words. Mark this date right now." \

Here's the doc on his team: Login to view embedded media
-- Brian Kelly recruited Bell's older brother, Tre, to Notre Dame in 2012. So, needless to say, the family has known Kelly for about a decade now, which only helps a situation.


-- LSU's Cortez Hankton and Bobby Barham have had their eyes on Bell since they were on UGA's staff when then an 8th grader, Bell, was putting on a show at a few 7on7 tournaments on campus. UGA offered Bell after those events.


-- He grew up a fan of LSU because its DBU. He watched Derek Stingley, Tyrann Mathieu, Morris Claiborne, Tre’Davious White, Patrick Peterson to name a few. He thinks he has the chops to be in that kind of category.


-- My take on Bell: He's got a lot of growing to do as far as adding weight and obviously that'll come over time as his body matures but he's long as hell and we know how much that helps when playing CB. He's been coached all his life by his dad, Marion, and his brother. They're a football family and it always helps to have a solid football bloodline.

BRIAN KELLY

-- Kelly on Maason Smith: “He’s doing well. He’s focused on his academics and rehabilitation. He’s had no setbacks.” Added that the expectation is Smith will be ready to be involved in spring ball.

-- Kelly on Harold Perkins… “He’s very, very talented. … He is an elite and special player.”

-- Kelly on John Emery bouncing back… “He needed it for himself. Obviously he took it hard the week before not taking care of the football. … it was a really nice way to respond to some adversity.”

-- Kelly says he feels good about Josh Williams being part of the game plan for the SEC Championship.

-- Kelly says they kept Jayden Daniels in a boot today due to his ankle injury and he’s optimistic Daniels will practice Tuesday. It was not a high ankle sprain.

-- Kelly on the loss to A&M: "We've played with traits over talent all year and for some reason those traits weren't in place on Saturday. Our players know it, they took it hard after the game. We don't wanna be beat when not bringing our very best."


KIRBY SMART

-- Smart on LSU LB Harold Perkins: “He’s extremely explosive, athletic and they do a very good job of utilizing his skillset.”

-- Smart on the difference of this Brian Kelly team vs. Notre Dame in 2019… “Different makeup. They have big physical SEC players. … LSU is never going to be short on players.”

-- Smart on Jayden Daniels… “Extremely athletic. Smooth. Great release. … Very impressive, composure and demeanor.”

I don’t get it. Offensive play calling and qb play was awful pre Florida. Then for some reason for 3 games in a row we decided to take 50/50 shots down field and stress the defense. Since bama we went back to nothing over 15 yards and radio being timid and scared to throw. What gives?

One more time in the regular season...

Tigers and Aggies on ESPN at 6pm

Everyone goes by “what the card says”
And the card says when down by 21 in comeback mode, go for 2. In the event the other team knocks a field goal on following possession , it’s still a 2 possession game (assuming you Convert). That being said, a field goal drive by A&M would have chewed the clock making it a moot point. Had there been 11-12 minutes left, maybe. With 6 minutes left, I say take the 1 and know I’ve got to get a stop no matter what.

New Mexico State beating Liberty 42-7 in the 3rd. Liberty was a (-24) favorite. did Hugh Feeze not show up for the game?

discuss amongst yourselves…

Bush league

Is it a JD thing or is it route design? I watch teams all day on Sat that get guys wide open and streaking for huge plays. It gets frustrating.

Season high, career high performances. It’s been happening as long as I can remember.

coaches, players, really sad to see. TAMU has been DOA the last two months and we lay an ostrich egg. Well keep it up and Georgia will win by 35.

I usually use Chrome FWIW, but more and more lately whenever I'm clicking on any links, posts or even just trying to come into the chat I'm getting a host of errors... either the page doesn't load right or I get one of several different error messages telling me the page doesn't exist or the site is offline, to try again later, etc. Eventually I can get in, but it's starting to take several tries each time I click on something.

LSU needs to hire their ST coach. Beamer ball at its best.

1) Georgia: win so we can dethrone them
2) Ohio State: pound Michigan
3) Michigan: get pounded by Ohio State
4) TCU: lose to the cyclones
5) Tigers: pound 4&8
6) USCw: lose to Notre Dame
7) bama: lose the iron bowl to Cadillac’s boys
8) Clemson: lose to USCe

Geaux Tigers

On why he picked the Tigers:

"LSU has always been my dream school. In youth footballI, I participated in a documentary declaring I will be starting for LSU. I am excited to continue my talents with high-level, knowledgeable coaches, strong winning history and a positive culture with a defense that I am confident I can execute."

LSU must have had a hint the Darron Reed decommit was coming because LSU offered 2023 Ole Miss DL commitment Jamarious Brown.

about their nomination for Best Supporting Actor. Anybody besides me just tired of the starting QB for the Buckeyes being guaranteed a seat on the Heisman stage ceremony? I mean he looks good but not Heisman material. Had he started for Auburn no one would have any idea what his name was.

I missed this yesterday with the holiday.

Rivals won't do it; so let me step in. IMHO

This class should have at least four 5 star commitments. As far as, how they compare to national commitments, this year.

Trey Holly 5*

Zalance Heard 5*

Shelton Sampson 5*

Dashawn Womack 5*

Now, I want to throw in a TE. Not as far as his ranking, this class. But, as far as the potential to be a starter as a true frosh? Going out on the limb? Mac Markway will be a starter in two TE sets. Mr Mac will come with the same impact as Mason Taylor. Markway will be the better blocker... Taylor the better receiver. Taylor has exceptional hands and maturity. Even so, Markway has great hands and moves well in the open field. So, if 5* means contributing immediately? Mac is my pick for a guy to do so, even before the four studs mentioned above.

Three other guys to keep an eye on? Jaxon Howard, for sure... Kaleb Jackson: he might turn out better than Trey. Kaleb's film is Louisiana RB 1st class. And one of my favorite commits? Khai Prean, this kid is special.

We all know stars don't matter, when the players hit the field. But Holly, Heard, Sampson and Womack, look to me to be, the cream of this years crop. Especially Trey Holly!
