I'll continue updating as we get more reactions, but here's the first responses I got back or saw from former players on Twitter.
LSU pass rusher Andre Anthony: "Great hire, especially for recruiting. It's always good seeing family coming home. Coach frank and Coach O are the main reasons I came to LSU. You just love to see it."
LSU 2022 CB commit Laterrance Welch: "That's big! I had a relationship with Coach Frank when he was at McNeese. He has a great personality and for Coach Kelly to make that hire: 'Shooters shoot.'"
LSU 2022 DL target Quency Wiggins: "It's a great move!"
LSU 2022 DL commit Tygee Hill: "National Championship coming soon!"
LSU 2022 OT commit Will Campbell: "Very excited. Lots of history being a great recruiter and he knows the importance of in-state kids so that’s huge."
LSU 2022 OL commit Emery Jones: "Really excited and happy about the hire. He's a great recruiter and is going to find the right guys for out championship program."

Former LSU LB Duke Riley: "I Love It!!!!!"
Former LSU DE Marcus Spears: "Big move"
Former LSU RB Clyde Edwards-Helaire: "That boy went got frank? Lawd."

Former LSU LB Kwon Alexander: "This lit!"
Former LSU RB Leonard Fournette: "Wait this is probably the most important key to LSU, when I tell you the best running back coach I’ve had on all levels, I’ll be back in Death Valley more…"
Former LSU DB Tyrann Mathieu: "I’m happy for coach and his family!! Also I am happy for our fans and the great state of Louisiana because I know he will not let some of this state best talents leave! He will also find a few diamonds in the rough that you may have never heard of. He’s one of the best!"
Many coach Jess Curtis: "Frank Wilson definitely has a great relationship with the coaches within the state. That's a good hire for LSU."
McDonogh 35 coach Frank Daggs: "Very huge. You got to have people that know this area in and out. ... It's a good deal. I'm excited!"
