Now the hunt Palmer show you are now listening to the hunt Palmer show on 1045n B Rouge locking down the middle of the day live from the Mercedes bz of Baton Rouge Studios this is hunt Bulmer welcome in Hunt Palmer coming to you for the mercedesbenz of bat studio downtown in the capital city on this Wednesday opening day of the early signing period for college football and we will have you covered from that perspective we’re working towards the weekend here we’ll talk some saints and
Hour number two what if Wednesday is coming at you in 30 minutes JD pel number on 3 usually with us on on Wednesdays however uh he’s got to do a Signing Day show basically all day long over on his YouTube channel uh so he’s
Going to jump on next week I do want to talk a little about the uh the pels and what they got into last night that’s going to come up at the end of this hour but we start with national Signing Day in college football and this is a day
That most of us got in the routine of experiencing on a Tuesday in early February for the majority of our college football lives and it’s been adjusted and we understand that now most of the hay goes into the barn in December when you’re talking about national Signing
Day for college football and as of 7 minutes ago when Jawan Johnson’s facts I don’t even know how they do it now maybe it’s still a fact it was a fact back 10 years ago when I was covering it really closely um his paperwork has been filed at LSU
27 commitments in this class 27 letters of intent have come in to LSU it is not yet 10:5 p.m. central time so as we predicted as the folks over at on three or go247 or wherever tiger wherever you find your recruiting information all predicted it was a boring day for LSU in
The best possible way there’s been chaos in Gainesville chaos in Auburn chaos in Columbus there’s been stuff going on in college station in Baton Rouge very quiet 27 letters went out 2 seven letters have come in in this signing class for the earling signing period we believe is complete now
Dominic McKinley the festar from over in Acadiana is still looking around and has told everyone that he’s going to wait to sign until February there’s a push apparently going on from maybe Texas maybe Baton Rouge to get that document signed today doesn’t sound like that’s
Going to happen so I think based on what you read from the folks over at on three that this is pretty much it for LSU and you know what that’s okay you don’t have to flip three guys at the end you don’t need the five star Splash at the end you
Go out and get 27 guys committed and those 27 guys sign on the dotted line on Signing Day that’s a job well done so let’s go into LSU’s class player by player but we’ll start by the numbers um 26 high schoolers have signed with LSU today one junior college player has
Signed with LSU and they’ll take three transfers today that they’ll announce so that’s 30 total new additions to the LSU football program of the high school signes if you look at on Three’s industry rating which takes all of the different Outlets into account you’re talking about 17 fourstar players and
Nine three star players in this class no three stars by the industry rating overall there are C five stars there are some that are ranked five star at some different places but if you look at the industry rating you’re looking at 174 stars and 93 Stars 11 of them are on
The offensive side of the ball 14 on the defensive side of the ball of these 27 commitments 17 from Louisiana five from Texas one from Georgia one from Florida one from North Carolina and one from Mississippi if you look at on three state rankings LSU has signed eight of
The top 10 players in the state of Louisiana today um Wardell Mack headed to Texas and then Dominick mckenley remains essentially uncommitted after verbally committing to Texas A&M now saying we’re going to open things up and wait until February so if your concern was that Brian Kelly would not be able
To recruit the state of Louisiana would try to go to National if you look at his second class the First full cycle he’s been able to recruit to pull eight of the top 10 in the state of Louisiana and to get 17 commitments from inside the
State I think is a really really good place to start for Brian Kelly um let’s look at the offensive commitments that LSU has secured they took one quarterback in this High School signing class that’s Colin Hurley he’s been committed to LSU for two years since he
Was a freshman in high school he skipped a year of high school and is going to be an early enroll Le you’re going to talk about a guy that comes into Campus before his 18th birthday um that’s very difficult to do um but he’s a talented kid has not necessarily grown a ton
Since his freshman sophomore year you’re looking at a a 6 foot 61 quarterback that’s 215 pounds pretty well put together um was incredibly highly rated for his class as a young high schooler has now drift back and you can look at him as a four-star three star depending
On where you look at but he is a quarterback you add in this class he moves into the quarterback room that will now include AJ Swan it will include Ricky Collins and of course Garrett NM at running back I’m thrilled with the addition ition of Kaden Durham um Kaden
Durham is a fourstar from the Dallas area Duncanville High School and I think he’s got a chance to be a star now I realize on Signing Day every three star is underrated every four star could be a star every five star is a pro Game Changer I get it that’s how this day
Works and the vast majority of the players in this class don’t even finish their time at LSU but I think kadum Durham is got star written all over him he’s a track star that has got a low center of gravity in a sturdy frame he’s been a home run hitter at the highest
Level you can play in Texas I’ve talked about this a bunch LSU in my opinion has not had the elite level NFL backs that it churned out for 20 straight years over the last few years really since Clyde left Kaden Durham as well as Cale Caleb Jackson kind of look like that to
Me I’m ecstatic about the addition of Kaden Durham three wide receivers in this class you follow up a really strong wide receiver class from last year that included Shelton Samson and Jaylen Brown and Kyle Parker and kpr and those guys that’s a really athletic talented group
Of receivers this one is as well gilany Watkins a fourstar um from the Houston area is track fast got to learn to run some routes got to catch the ball a little bit better but the raw tools and the speed are certainly there KY and Bot
Fourstar from Homer uh from H has got incredible athleticism in a good frame good size and then Michael Turner a four-star from ctis is is a really really good looking Prospect at wide receiver as well none of these guys are 656 six um they’re more midsized receivers that have really really good
Speed and athleticism so you add three more wide receivers into the class you’re losing a ton of production here with we think Brian Thomas and uh Malik neighbors moving on got to keep stocking those shelves at receivers they’ve got a lot of young Talent there they’re adding
To it try as green is the only tight end in this class and he is a monster um maybe the best player in the state of Louisiana depending on who you look at they would say that he is he’s got freakish size at 66 6 seven he can run
He can jump incredibly well the catch radius is awesome when Brian Kelly got to LSU the tight end room was empty you had to lean on a freshman in Mason Taylor who will now be a junior next year you’ve added M marway who’s gotten significant playing time camoran pimpton
Who looked really good in his uh in his workout yesterday that we got to see and then you add maybe the top tight end in the country to this class this is a a really really goodlooking group of pass catchers that you bring in and tradez
Green is maybe the best looking of them all on the offensive line there are five signes in this offensive line class and I’ll tell you this is the first place we looked when Brian Kelly took this LSU job said okay what is Brian Kelly’s M Mo
And one of them was that he’s going to sign and develop Elite level offensive linemen he talked about in his introductory press conference Le ofan asked a question about offensive line he said well without getting too deep into it there’s a profile we recruit to we
Recruit to that we stick to it and we develop it we can tell by looking at it what he did at Notre Dame and what he’s doing now at LSU that profile is long lean agile offensive linemen who grow into their frames as college players and
You look at Weston Davis who is a five-star if you look at on three is a Four Star by the others a four star in the composite that’s a guy who’s 66 285 pounds and really plays well at basketball like if you look at his highlights on the basketball floor he
Can jump he’s agile block shots like that’s the kind of athlete and kind of frame you’re pulling in with Weston Davis Ethan Callaway that LSU signs in this class another big big long lean frame 67 300 lb from North Carolina a fourstar by the on three industry ratings look at Ori Williams Orie
Williams is from Texas uh he’s another guy that fits into this profile that Brian Kelly loves to recruit to and Brad Davis has stuck to it and they’ve turned out uh really really good offensive lines ory Williams is 67 300 lb and then Kyrie Lee is an interior offensive
Lineman he’ll play guard or Center but 65307 from John eret that’s another guy that is not 345 pounds that you’ve got to got to cut some weight off of them and then Joe CER is the last the nain is Central he’s a three star by every
Single service but a guy that’s 6’4 290 lbs in profiles to play on the inside again none of these guys are three 30 340 350 360 that’s just not the way Brian Kelly likes to go about recruiting his offensive lineman so that’s your look at LSU’s 11-man offense you have
One quarterback one running back three wide receivers a tight end and five offensive linemen three of them profile on the outside two profile on the inside but all of them kind of fit what Brian Kelly likes to do so on the offensive side of the ball I don’t have really any
Question marks in terms of position positions of need and players that they took I think your quarterback situation is very healthy I think your running back situation is very healthy I think your wide receiver position while it’s very unproven and it will be a question entering the off
Season no doubt the numbers are good Kiren Lacy is there Aaron Anderson is there Kyle Parker Shelton Samson Jaylen Brown Landon ietta then you look at this group that has gany Watkins and kylin Bia and and Michael Turner and you bring in a transfer from Mississippi State
Like you’ve got plenty of guys with a lot of talent at WI receiv offensive line Looks phenomenal at this point so offensively you’ve got the continuity of Mike Den Brock you’ve got a fourth year starting quarterback and then your numbers across the board are very good now numbers don’t necessarily mean that
It’s going to be great all the time but it’s a good start if you don’t have any numbers you got no chance LSU looks healthy really across the board on offense and today was a really really good step in the right direction for them it’s the first day of the early
Signing period perod for college football we’re talking about it when we come back after this time out we’ll talk about what LSU did on defense there are a lot of needs across the board on defense what LSU get accomplished today that’s next you are now listening to the

Saints head West join us 3-6 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge you’re listening to the hunt Palmer show on 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge it’s a what if Wednesday um get your what if questions into by for chat know there are a number of you in there if you want to throw a like we’d appreciate that as well but we’ll answer
Your your good wh ifs we still have some room in the wh if Wednesday segment got some great entries via Twitter uh so get those in we’ll get to them in about 12 minutes um in that first segment I I went through the fact that I think LSU’s offensive situation is incredibly
Healthy uh it doesn’t guarantee all Americans or wins but in terms of of of depth and talent I think LSU offensively is in a really good spot moving forward um the defense we know was was terrible this year it was terrible in a number of games they could not stop Alabama they
Could not stop Arkansas in the second half they could not stop Missouri for three quarters of the game they never stopped all Miss couldn’t stop Florida State like you know defense was not great I’m not telling you anything that you don’t know and you can’t address that today but it’s it
Helps okay so let’s go through what LSU has accomplished today on the defensive side and if you’re just jumping in and didn’t hear the opening segment all 27 of LSU’s high school and Junior College signes have gotten their paperwork into LSU there is no drama left in Baton
Rouge today so let’s go to the defensive side of the ball we start up front and quite frankly up front LSU need a lot of help it starts with Mason Smith and maai wingo deciding to come back next year that’s that’s where it needs to start
But outside of that um you’re going to need to do some work and LSU uh took four defensive linemen in this class from the high school rank CJ Jackson is an edge player he’s a fourstar from Tucker Georgia um looks to be a a strong
Pass rusher a very good athlete um and a guy that all the services consensus like a lot on the edge but he’s the only guy in this class that kind of fits as the edge outside linebacker 4-3 end pass rusher type guy there are three that I would classify as defensive linemen
Whether they play on the outside or they play on the inside gain some weight we we’ll see over their time in Baton Rouge but de Marian Johnson is a three- star defensive lineman from Westgate Ahmad bro is a three star defensive lineman from Rustin and then the late flip that
LSU got which was huge in this class gave reliford the four fourar former Texas A&M commit from up in the 318 in shreport um he’s a four-star player and one of the top players in the state of Louisiana who’s got a really strong highlight tape a great frame and could
Well be a a physical strong defensive end or grow himself down into the interior of the defensive front this is a concern program wide and obviously you’ve gone into the trans uh the junior college ranks and gotten sha Washington to help here and that’s not a freshman
That’s a guy who’s got two years of college football under his belt um but this is a little bit of a modest Hall in my opinion for a real position of need now you’ve got some freshman coming in LSU wants to do this with freshman who develop they don’t want to continuously
Go to the transfer portal every single year what Lane kein is doing right now in Oxford is intoxicating what Deion Sanders and trying to do in Colorado is going to generate a lot of headlines but the healthier way to do this is to rely heavily on your high school evaluation
Recruiting and development and then supplement it with high level transfers year-over-year but you don’t want to get in the situation that LSU’s been in in defensive back three years in a row that’s not a healthy way to run a program because sometimes you’re going to hit like LSU did in 2022 sometimes
You’re going to miss like LSU did in 2023 I’d rather stockpile high school kids as opposed to bringing in Mercenaries for a year and then having them out so at defensive line I think LSU still has work to do and that may be in the later signing period it maybe in
The transfer portal and maybe they don’t but it’s it’s a spot of concern on the roster for me I’m not disparaging any of the four commitments and signes now that LSU has on the defensive front but I’m just saying they need more help on the defensive front especially if Makai
Wingo decides he’s going to leave at linebacker LSU signed four players in this class tylon Singleton is a fourstar from Manny up there in the 318 collage cins another fourstar from destan who had a very nice career over there in the 504 Xavier Atkins is a fourstar from Jonesboro Louisiana so three Louisiana
Linebackers there and then you’ve got Devon Keys who’s A fourstar from Texas that I think a lot of people are really starting to like he put on a show in the Texas High School playoffs which as we know is big- time football um Devon Keys rolled up an immense amount of tackles
In that time and this is a healthy haul for LSU and linebacker obviously you’ve got another year of Harold Perkins you’ve got you hope a couple of years of wit weeks I think Greg Pinn will be back on next year’s team but you need to continue to stock those shelves on
Linebacker and LSU’s brought in four and like let’s just be honest about this those four guys are probably not all going to finish their time at LSU but if you take four guys and two of them are Surefire starter hits 50% hit rate there that’s pretty good you got to go back
And do it again the next year and maybe you got to bring in a transfer here and there but you’re asking I think kind of for like a 50% hit rate and that goes on like a lot of your positions because if you had a 50% hit rate with your high school
Signes seven years ago trouble now that’s kind of what you’re asking and I think LSU is in a good spot there at linebacker corner H this has been a spot of bother since the change at head coaching positions because you lost Ricks and you lost mlo and they were
Supposed to be the next two guys and now you’ve had some young players transfer out that were corners for you and you’ve been relying on the transfer portal far too heavily at defensive back we know this and this year you brought in a bunch of corners and Denver Harris
Didn’t really play and JK Johnson got hurt and and you couldn’t use him and it the whole thing went ay at corner so they brought in three more in this class uh sorry four more in this class and I think that’s a good start Jawan Johnson uh setting lisiana High
School records as a quarterback as an elite athlete committed to Colorado went up there for a junior day was like ah I think I’ll come back to LSU ends up in this class from the Acadiana area PJ Woodland the Mississippi high school player of the year he’s only a three
Star recruit by the industry but an elite athlete that just rolled up a ridiculous amount of statistics on both sides of the ball in Mississippi there’s a lot of optimism around PJ Woodland Bernard Cy fourstar from the City of New Orleans you hope that that’s another one
Of those dogs that plays defensive back from down there in the 504 and there’s reason to believe that he will be then wall Foster another three star from down there at waren East I think LSU had some defections at cornerback with Andre Evans and some of those guys from
Outside the state I like four and five stars I’ll tell you that um but there’s a pretty good track record of three and four star defensive backs from south Louisiana showing up in Baton Rouge and playing really good football and hopefully that’s the case with this group Jawan Johnson PJ Woodland Bernard
Cy and Wallace Foster your four corners in this class and you brought in two safeties both from the Baton Rouge area both that are big physical and look to be really highlevel prospects um not unlike kyl and Jackson last year same neck of the Woods same Big Frame and
Build and hopefully really good safeties LSU safety play not great this year that goes without saying way too many big plays busted assignments missed tackles bad run fits it was it was a lot this year and so you’re going to bring up you know young crop of safeties and hope
That there’s some improvement there um but Shawn McBride and Joel Rogers from um from Denim Springs and West feliciana respectively are the two safeties that you brought in in this class that’s 14 on the defensive side of the ball to go with with 11 offensive signs from high
School and you got Aaron Burell the number one kicker number two Kicker depending on where you look in the country from Boer up there at Parkway Parkway sending some good players down here uh to LSU course Terrace Marshall a Parkway um product of course Michaela Williams with Kim moy’s lady Tigers a
Parkway project and here is Aaron Burell a kicker from Parkway so that is your 26 High School signes you also include Shawn Washington on the defensive line from the junior college ranks as a s today that is a look at your 27 signes for LSU if you look at on three and how
LSU ranks in terms of the team rankings at this point which I do take seriously it’s not the gospel but I do take it seriously and on three thinks the most highly of LSU’s class of any of the services they’ve got LSU sitting right now at number 11 in the country that
Sounds all fine and good at number 11 and you Oklahoma’s N9 Auburn’s seven Texas is four Alabama’s 2 and Georgia is one that puts you sixth in the Southeastern Conference if you sit there at number 11 and that slots you just in front of Tennessee at 12 Florida at 14
We’ll talk about them a little bit later A&M at 15 so if you look at the SEC in terms of the top 15 that is 1 2 3 4 five 6 78 nine of the top 15 in the Southeastern Conference that’s comes as fairly little surprised because A&M uh
Sorry Texas and Oklahoma are not in the Big 12 anymore and the Pack 12 doesn’t exist so you’re looking at at this the deck being stacked towards the Southeastern Conference LSU’s hay is in the barn today they’ll wait word um potentially UND dominate McKinley today but it doesn’t sound like that’s going
To happen and I think most eyes focus into the February signing period on Terry busy a five-star safety from uh from South Texas who is looking at LSU as well as Dominic McKinley who’s yet to make up his mind after the coaching change over at Texas A&M those are the
Two that we’ve heard the most about from LSU will somebody crop up here in the uh in the late signing period probably because your staff that’s been going nuts for the last month trying to get this hay in the barn can now relax I saw Ryan Day from Ohio State um they got
Their top rated recruit he was a huge wide receiver uh sign the paper came in and he almost fainted at the uh at the podium and they said can we get your feeling on how you feel today and he said that first beer is going to taste
Really really good so crack it open coach day I I will allow that at this point in the afternoon coach Kelly can do the same thing because LSU is done for the day 27 names in and as well as uh three transfers at LSU bring in a
Total of 30 new players to the football program on this first day of the early signing period so that’s your look at LSU’s class in its entirety if you miss some of this and want to go back and listen to it we’d love you to do that
You can catch it hunt on LSU our YouTube channel that gives you all your LSU football um you can find 10 12 minute segments that come right to your homepage if you subscribe and like to like it Casey does a great job of getting those up every single day so we

Spending a little bit of time with us I got to talk about the pels at the end of this hour because we did watch it last night over at plucker and uh I have some thoughts on the end of that game um we’ll get to some saints and rams in
Hour number two as well JD beel not with us today um in his normal spot because they’ve got a lot of Signing Day obligations they got to get to here on this Wednesday so we’ll catch up with JD next week but right now whatwe if Wednesday time space
Reality it’s more than a linear path where a single Choice can Branch out into Infinite reality follow me and Ponder the Question what if all right we’ve got a little bit of a two-parter here we’ll start off with the first part what if Brian Kelly makes six playoff appearances and never wins a national championship um that would prove he did a really good job uh I think continuing
To go 10 and two um 11-1 12-0 over the course of a decade which we think is how long Brian Kelly will be here and getting to the playoffs six times even though it is an expanded playoff I think would be a good job but I think if
That’s the way that it ended and the dust settled um he would say that he didn’t get the job done because people that come to be the head coach at LSU do so with a chance to win a National Championship the reason you take this job it’s one of the few in college
Football or a national championship is a a realistic expectation and the last three guys have done it so I think that’s why he took the job and I think I would suggest when the dust settled that he did a good job getting LSU to that point consistently um because despite
What’s going on in Tuscaloosa over the years and what davo had going at Clemson for a while and what Kirby’s got at Georgia like it is hard to continue to turn out winners especially in what this SEC is going to be but there is an ultimate goal there at the end and
That’s that’s something you you’d like to accomplish if you’re Brian Kelly all right and the second part is what if Brian Kelly makes only one playoff appearance but wins the national championship I think he would sleep better at night I would suggest if Brian Kelly over the next eight seasons if we
Think that’s how long he gets here misses the top 12 in seven of eight years um that would be that would be disappointing in a way however I will tell you this if you gave me the option of yes one National Championship over the next eight years or
Well I shouldn’t say we’re not well like I would take it I would take the one National Championship because I think there’s probably a big faction of LSU fans that would say well I mean we’ll get to the playoffs like we’re going to win another National Champion it’s
Really hard to do like I think Jay Johnson it’s gotten easier though with the expanded playoff with the expanded playoffs to get him but you got to win more playoff games when you get there you might have to go on the road to the north where LSU’s never been before true
Um like there are some obstacles that are going to be presented there for sure and look Georgia’s really good and Alabama’s really good and Ohio State’s really good and so it that it’s it’s tough but like man these football championships I don’t want to take them for granted they’re just so difficult I
Think based on the way the system is set up right now that you can count on getting to Omaha a lot in baseball and Jay’s going to win a few more of these couple more of these like I’m not saying he’s going to win six but I’d be
Surprised if he didn’t win three like I think that the the deck is so stacked in college baseball that that’s that I feel relatively confident in talking about football man this is hard like it is really hard to do to beat some of these teams and and to navigate through this
Thing so I know we’ve played for four of them in the last 20 years I know we’ve won three in the last 20 but it’s really hard to do so I would I would take Brian Kelly’s one Championship if I was guaranteed that um over a a guarantee of
X amount of playoff births I would say that it’s disappointing that he would only get there once but if you get the national championship I would I would take it I mean that’s that’s a lot of nine and threes eight and fours and seven and fives yeah to get the one
National Championship but I would I would take it I guess that’s the way I should frame it I shouldn’t have said obviously you want to win one if not winning one if you realize if you only make the playoffs once the next seven years that eight years you’ve gone eight
And four a lot so that’s and that’s a lot to get through all right we got some from Twitter now uh so the first one here is since it’s Signing Day what if five for Five played out and revers 10 years ago and instead of getting Jamal
Adams and Leonard forette they went to Florida and Alabama respectfully and LSU signed hoody Jones speedy noyle and Gerald Willis so that was a crazy day and I think Beck you said you weren’t familiar with it um that was in January of 20 you said 13 13 is that right because
It was Jeremy Hill and them’s last game which was 13 yes okay so it was January of of 14 and it was a signing class of 14 that Leonard Fett and Jamal Adams were a part of and that morning everyone thought LSU was getting five for five they thought
LSU was getting Speedy Noy getting Jerry Willis was it hoody Jones I thought it was Tony Brown but either way it was one of those two guys and then obviously L forette and Jamal Adams if you flipped it LSU ends up with Gerald Willis who got kicked out of school end up with
Speedy noyle who got kicked out of school and was not very productive at A&M and then hoody Jones was not a very good player at Alabama and Tony Brown did play a lot ended up playing a little bit in the NFL but Adams and forette became Stars so LSU got what it needed
Out of that day wildly enough I was in I didn’t really cover recruiting very hard at the time I was with BBI Derek ponamsky handled the recruiting side of it I did the team coverage but I was in Tampa for the Outback Bowl when LSU beat
Iowa and we just stayed the next day and went to the Under Armour game and I was in the Press Box at Tropicana Field and things got so wild that morning with rumors that at that point someone walked over to me at the computer and said sabin’s going
To Texas and taking forette with him like that’s the level of absurdity that we got to in the Press Box that day it was a wild wild day but lonard Fett and Jamal Adams ended up in Baton Rouge and those guys became pretty good players so
All right next one here what if the Saints do end up parting ways with Dennis Allen who would you like to see them hire can I use alter of ulterior motives sure why not Lane kein you destroy all miss and then you you bring a young exciting offensive coach to to
New Orleans I think for me the Saints are going to move on from Dennis Allen and we’ll see what happens over the next month um it feels like the best way to go is that Mike McDaniel Shawn McVey Kyle Shanahan young offensive guy I mean yeah Andy Reid’s awesome but you’re not
Gonna you’re not going to get him I don’t think John Harbaugh is coming on down from from Baltimore so like if you’re going to going to shoot your shot I like the young innovative offens guy it just seems like that’s kind of the trend in the NFL right now um it’s never
A guarantee and a lot of NFL coaching hires don’t work but if they’re going to do one I think that’s where I would go but if it’s me and I get to pick I’m putting Lane kein over Lane kein yeah it went it went really well for him at the
Uh in the NFL it’s it’s the Raiders man and nobody can win there that’s true I guess all right last one here what if nus struggles in the Bull game do we see Ricky Collins get in and it is an open competition with AJ Swan Collins and and
Uh Hurley as well going into the spring no you’re not going to see Ricky Collins come in for nus in the bll game this is Garrett nus Meers game here’s what I can guarantee he may come in if they blow him out you know well yes you will see
That but my deal with this bowl game there is almost 100% guarantee of massive overreactions by the LSI fan base based on this game I’m trying to guard against it already because I know it’s coming if he throws two picks people are going to lose their minds if
He looks phenomenal people are going to lose their minds I guess if he goes 21 for 31 for 241 yards two touchdowns in a pick maybe everyone will chill probably just be okay okay but like I I feel like if this game goes one way or another
People are going to lose it and I’m not like I’m just going to watch it for what it is understand that this is not the exact same offense we’re going to see next year and certainly doesn’t have the same guys on the outside and Garrett’s got another spring and fall Camp of one
Reps that he’s never really gotten so this is just an exhibition game that’s all it it is it is and like I I understand the vital that I’ve gotten from that where people were like what are you talking about you don’t care who wins this is a football game this is LSU
They take like I get it and I wish I was feeling more like that because that’s more fun honestly but Wisconsin’s best few running backs are or not playing and it’s just doesn’t feel like it used to feel so I’m just going to take this game
In for what it is and I’ll I’ll evaluate Garrett and I’ll give you my candid thoughts on it but I promise you I’m not going to be running to the Heisman Trophy ceremony or to the transfer portal based on four quarters of action on New Year’s Day against Wisconsin
That’s that’s not going to happen here so that’s it for uh take it or leave it back appreciate you for uh getting those questions read when we come back I don’t do this a lot um but I am going to talk about what we saw from the Pelicans last

And Tech to keep you connected supported by a five-star sales service and finance team and backed by the one star you know so go the extra mile it’s never crowded this Sunday as we bring you three different NFL games we start off with Colts Falcons immediately following that
It is Cowboys and dolphins and then finally the Patriots at Broncos tune in this Sunday to hear all three of those games here on 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge This is the hunt Palmer show on 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge so last night I’m at Pluckers and we’re doing sports trivia had a great time out there um and we’re watching the pels and Grizzlies and Jaden Daniels and Malik neighbors are right there Courtside and man the pels are cooking
They go on a 28-2 run R everything is clicking and you’re up 19 at halftime before the three that that Williams hits to cut it to to 16 but you go to the break feeling like the pells are in great shape and Memphis starts chipping away and they chipped
Away and they chipped away and they chipped away and they finally got that thing into to Striking Distance and the Pelicans last two offensive possessions weren’t bad in fact their last offensive possession CJ McCollum got a wide open three and he bricked it I mean that’s a good shooter clutch
Player open look and he clanks it so Memphis gets the ball and they can they can finish the game it’s tied there’s 9.5 seconds left and Memphis calls timeout now at that point I have no earthly idea what gie green told his team no clue but I’ve never coached a basketball
Game in my life and I’ve got a reasonable expectation that johnar is going to get the basketball with nine and a half seconds to go in a tied NBA game and I’d love it if the Pelicans looked like they had any idea of a plan to stop him from scoring he was
Hot I realize he’s just set out for 25 games but he was feeling it and he was going to get the ball and best I can tell Willie Green’s plan was hey herb you’re really good at defense they’re probably going to give it to johnar guard
Him well Willie that’s not a very good plan because johnar took the basketball with 9.5 seconds to go back in the back court was in very little hurry to get across the half court line then he didn’t start his drive with a between the legs dribble and go from
The three-point line until there were 3.5 seconds to go in the game none of the other four Grizzlies ever moved they all stood on the three-point line and spread the floor and let ja go and the Pelicans inexplicably did not help yes there was a token look by the two wings but help
Means stop him from driving and the most explosive player on the planet got a free run right to the rim and put it in it was mind-numbing to watch the Pelicans defense make somebody anybody else score the basketball not johnar this is a team without him that was 6 and
19 6 and 19 they had not won a game away from Memphis they’re terrible outside of johnar make one of those guys shoot it make him pass the ball no they didn’t do that let johnar Coast up the floor get into his drive at the three-point line
Go right by curve Jones to the rim and put it up from three feet and this isn’t an isolated incident the the it was the whole second half well yeah and also the season the P the pels are third in the league in most losses after leading by
10 plus points they have six this season so far the the help on the right wing was was almost cussed there was uh halfhearted we’ll say there was no help from the right Baseline and then the left wing is where you had to cut off the drive because
That’s where he was headed you have to get all the way in front of him so that he’s got to give it up or pull up and shoot a fade away from 15t they let him go right to the rim that is fifth grade stuff and I don’t often like go crazy on
Coaching it’s not really my thing I don’t ever know what’s said in the locker room I don’t know what the game plan was but this is obvious somebody has got to get the ball out of jaran’s hands and to let him go unimpeded basically and not force him to give the
Ball up was awful and I don’t think he would have given it up which means he would have had to take a ridiculous contested shot if you would have just sold out with a second Defender especially from the wing I’m okay giving up a late clock three that would have
Come with inside two seconds to go by one of their off players if he makes that well you’ve got a guy that we’ve got to deal with so I’m going to have to give you that shot I’m not giving jaw a three-footer awful coaching by Willie Green and an
Awful loss by the Hornets who were playing a bad Memphis team with their star player just coming back off a suspension in front of a really good crowd on National TV you had a 20-point lead and you gagged it up and the last possession was inexplicably awful you’re
So mad you just call the Hornets yeah Hornets same thing same deal like I don’t even have an emotional attachment to the Pelicans but that as a basketball fan I do love basketball that was I’m sitting there watching I could not believe it I could not believe they did
That so there’s your pel’s talk uh for the afternoon we’ll now take it to the Saints on the other side of the hour we got to talk about Sun Belt Billy because things are not awesome uh in in swampland over there in Gainesville so we’ll talk about that a little bit later

Rouge live from the mercedesbenz B new Studios this is hunt [Applause] Balmer hour number two Wednesday edition of The Hunt Palmer show 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge thanks for hanging with us got Jacob Beck and Casey Gaines back there on the ones and TW just dawned on me
It’s a guest free show today no guess but that’s okay we’ll just rock and roll right on through it it is the first day of the early signing period for college football and LSU has got 100% of its committed he in the barn that is 27 high school and Junior College signes
All of those uh papers were sent in prior to 1:00 and us going on the air so kind of a boring signing day but that’s a very very good thing don’t want any crises on a day like today and LSU certainly did not we’ll talk about some
Of those coming up uh in the next segment so um stick with us here we’ll talk a little saints and rams Thursday Night Football from La Saints you know get finished up with a nice performance on Sunday come back in for your treatment get a little bit of film done
On Monday a walk through on Tuesday they’ll travel today uh and then they will play the Los Angeles Rams coming up tomorrow inside Sofi um in a huge game for both of these teams and for the Saints you know you you played two very poor teams over the last two weeks but
You’ve played a little bit better and for the Rams they’re playing their best ball of the season they started three and six on the year they have won four of five since and the only loss in that five game stretch for the Rams was a 3731 loss at Baltimore and they may be
The one seeds in the AFC so the Rams have been very very good the Rams offense averaging 33 points per game over its last four contests and Matt Stafford who is past his Prime and he did get his Super Bowl that he was so uh so yearning for had to get out of
Detroit to do it but he got it he’s battled injuries and age and he’s still playing pretty well if you look at the last four games for Los Angeles he’s completing 66% of his throws for about 265 yards per game he’s thrown 12 touchdowns over those four games and
Only one interception he’s been very good on the outside we think of the Rams as the Cooper cup show and he’s been good since missing the first month um had a touchdown catch in each of the last three games for the Rams um but puka nakua has kind of become their
Number one guy he’s their leading receiver they took him in the fifth round out of BYU this year gone over 100 yards five different times and so Stafford kind of uses those two guys as his go-tos on the outside we know the Saints have been excellent in terms of
Pass defense this year they’re sixth um in the NFL in passing yards per game allowed that’s allowed them to be six in the NFL in points allowed per game and while Marshon Latimore is a huge piece to that honestly the other guys have done a good job Paul senad Divo has been
A hit for them as far as draft picks go I like elante Taylor and the speed that he has and the physicality that he’s playing with right now while Tyron Matthew is not the player he was he’s still opportunistic he had a couple of picks a couple of weeks ago and you can
Generally count on him to be in the right place as he explosive as he once was no but this group as a whole has played very well this however will be their biggest test in a while since Trevor Lawrence came to town and we know that the Jaguars kind of went up and
Down the field early in that game so in a year where you’ve gotten so many breaks in terms of the quarterbacks that you’ve played you did not see Anthony Richardson you saw Jordan love early first time I’ve not said bright love you saw Jordan love early when he was still
Trying to figure some things out um and you played pretty well in that game until you gagged it away at the end but you’ve seen Bryce young who’s not been good you saw Matt Jones who’s been benched um you saw Tyson B who’s a backup and Josh dos had backup and
Desmond Ritter who’s been benched and you’ve you have have really played some poor quarterbacks but you played Trevor Lawrence and gave up 31 points and you played Jared G and gave up 33 so while I do think the Saints have a quality pass defense it does lend itself to a
Discussion of hey is this really more a product of the quarterback play or is this a unit that is is toward the top of the NFL we’ll probably get that answer pretty quickly with Matt Stafford and pukaa and Cooper Cup in this game if the Rams go up and down the
Field my my confidence level in the Saints matching that is not good for me when I look at this game I think the Saints need to win it 2117 2420 they probably don’t need to win at 3531 right that recipe doesn’t sound sustainable look at the wins that the
Saints have posted this year against the Giants 24-6 against Carolina 20-6 against the Bears 20 417 now things got moving against Indianapolis 38-27 and I don’t need to talk too much about the Patriots game because I don’t count that when we’re talking about teams that can really play and the Rams
Can really play the Patriots can’t but then you go back to early in the season they beat the Panthers 20 to 17 they beat the Titans 1615 they need to win low-scoring games now full this like transparency here like I like the way the Saints played on offense on Sunday
I thought that was very good it was the best I thought theyd looked all year outside of maybe the Patriots game and so maybe they’re starting to find a rhythm and that’d be great you look at the injury report and Chris is starting to give it a go we’ll see if we see
Him he’s you know banged up and didn’t play last week you’ve got Jimmy Graham in the Red Zone who’s become a little bit of a threat shahid’s backing as healthy as he’s been in a while and Derek Carr managed to hit nine 10 guys last last week and spread the ball
Around so maybe they’re finding something but I’m not going to bet on that if I have to bet on something clicking for the Saints and winning this game on the road on a short week against a team that is a quality opponent with a good quarterback it needs to be closer to 20
Than 30 I’m just not ready to bet on Carr and this team going out there and winning a fourth quarter shootout and the Rams are capable like I just mentioned 33 points per game in their last four Saints need to pair that down by two touchdowns in my opinion to have
This thing feel comfortable does the pass rush get home we talked about that yesterday the Rams have been pretty good about that because their quarterback knows how to get rid of it not because he can he can move does that allow you to play some more press coverage does that allow you
To be more opportunity that was the the tener yesterday either way you can do it with turnovers which the Saints have done you can do it with just good oldfashioned stops or being tough in the Red Zone there are a lot of different ways to hold this Rams team closer to 20
Than 30 the Saints have got to find that out one way or another come Sunday we’ll talk more tomorrow about what the Saints need to do offensively and what went well over the weekend but to me the strength on strength piece is of this is is the Rams offense with with C cup
Healthy healthy now and Stafford healthier against the Saints defense that for this point in the year is pretty healthy I’d love to have Latimore out there trust me that’d be great um I’d love to have Marcus May out there that that’d be great I’d love it if pton
Turner was available he hasn’t been all year but Cam Jordan is is playing Carl Granderson’s been limited this week you expect him to play and the rest of your group is fairly healthy de Mario’s fine tyron’s out there adbo I mentioned and lante Taylor are good to go you’ve got your interior
Players for late for Christmas time that’s about as good as I can ask this is the point of the calendar where things get to be a war of attrition and the Saints are holding up okay they got to find a way to get this win though a win on Thursday for the Saints
Drastically Alters the way you look at this entire thing so does a loss if it’s massive not quite as massive as your divisional game next week but if you lose this one you could set yourself up to turn out the lights next week on the road against a division
Team that came into your house and throttled you early in the year you could be done this time next week two weeks but you could put yourself in a great position if you can find a way to get this done so next uh tomorrow I’ll give some more thoughts on the Saints
Offense I’ll give you my final pick for this game it’s uh it’s an interesting one I I don’t know that the Saints have been super interesting this year they’ve kind of been frustrating more than interesting tomorrow’s interesting short week trip out veteran quarterbacks stars on defense potential
Hall of Famers it’s all there Saints have got to get it done against the Rams in Sofi coming up on Thursday Night Football all right still plenty to get to here in hour number two there’s been a lot of drama outside of baton rou today not really much inside but outside
And a lot of it focuses on Old Sun Belt Billy down there in Gainesville we’ll talk about that coming up next the hunt Palmer show Jersey miks Highway 30 in Gonzalez for your catering needs try our friends over at Jersey miks they can do their catering a number of ways they can

Kelly Recaps the class and we’ll take a closer look at the Rams as the Saints head West join us 3-6 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge you’re listening to the hunt pulmer show on 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge as you just heard there from Matt it is national Signing Day if you missed this at the top of the show or hadn’t been paying attention been working and just kind of got out of the out of the
Wilderness there LSU had 27 kids uh commit and sign all the paperwork was in before 1:00 today so no drama here in Baton Rouge and I want to be clear before we get into this segment here where we poke a little bit of fun and
You know it’s this is all fun and games we don’t know if any of these kids are going to be good the three stars might be all Americans the five stars might be bus half of them are going to transfer from the school they signed with today
So take it with a grain of salt I’m not trying to predict the future here I’m just having a little bit of fun as we look at this but you know Billy Napier is is feeling it in Gainesville right now um I have had said last when they
Were El she was hiring a coach I thought they should hire Bill and apier I’m upfront about that I wanted Billy Napier to go from UL to here I thought he would be a really good fit in Baton Rouge okay I said that at the time I also
Think he has almost no chance of coaching against Florida state in the finale next year one they’ve been terrible the last two years two their schedule is obscenely hard next year with Miami and Florida State and Georgia and ol Miss and LSU and Missouri and it’s just ridiculously hard and the
Really one thing that he was kind of hanging his hat on not him personally but those that were analyzing the job he was doing at Florida was yeah they’re losing this game yeah they’re losing that game yeah they but have you seen this signing class he’s putting together
I said it I said it look at this class he’s a really good recruiter he’s always been that if you look at the guys who transferred out of Louisiana Lafayette when he left Makai Garner came here and was a good player kyen Lacy’s been a good player here he brought the name
Slipping me but the the offensive guard that he brought there that became an All-American at Florida Trevor aten was a guy uh Montell Johnson was a guy that he had at Louisiana Lafayette like he had some really good players at ul and that was like the galvanizing cause
Behind Billy nap like this guy can really recruit and as of earlier this week he had the number three class in the country however yesterday Xavier Phil Sami five-star safety commit flipped from Florida to Texas today fourstar defensive lineman Morris Williams flipped from Florida to Auburn today five-star defensive lineman LT McCrae
Said H I’m not going to sign today we’ll wait all of a sudden the bottom has fallen out and Florida’s class went from number three earlier this week back to number 14 not not exactly a disaster but when you consider what Billy Napier and his program needs right now it’s a shot
Of Life they’re not getting it for wins and losses they’re not playing in a bowl game this year the signing class and the transfer portal are the Lynch pin to a little bit of momentum and positivity and right now it’s not there and while you might say well who cares
How positive the fan base is right now and why does it matter what people are saying on message boards well it doesn’t matter what people are saying on message boards it doesn’t but the name of the game in college football football now and this is not a
Secret and it’s not an old thing but it is a real thing it’s not a new thing but it is a real thing is donor’s pocketbooks and if you’ve got a donor base that thinks you’re a dead man walking they’re not going to sink a bunch of cash into your players they’re
Going to sink their cash into your Walkin papers we have seen coach after coach come to the podium today day some wearing nil Gear with their Collective sweatshirt Marcus Freeman talking about how great a job the collective did in terms of organizing and recruiting student athletes now when they made this
Name image and likeness thing legal they said and this is the NCAA you can’t use it as a recruiting inducement and we all knew that was a joke because yes while Jaden Daniels winning the Heisman Trophy and immediately tweeting out a picture of him holding the trophy with a a box
Combo saying my Winner’s meal is canes that’s cash in his pocket and that is a part of this the biggest part of this is how much can we pay high school kids to show up and the coaches know it and you’ve got Marcus Freeman at Notre Dame praising his Collective and you’ve got
The new head coach at Mississippi State Jeff Levy coming to the podium in his Mississippi State Collective sweatshirt today that ain’t an accident you need all the people that donate the money on your side and if Billy Napier can’t get them on his side with wins and losses and now the
Recruiting class crumbles they’re not going to be able to get this thing together next year either and the fact of the matter is he’s toast he’s not going to make it because if you can’t get the boosters to Pony up because they know they need to save their checkbook for your buyout it’s
Over I don’t know quite how vital that was 10 years ago because the money was under the table and it wasn’t as traceable and it wasn’t necessarily maybe as important now that it’s above board it’s wildly important and it would shock me if Lane kein didn’t have a
Grove Collective hat or shirt on today because it’s very obvious now they’ve got everything in front of them with this transfer portal and they’re just making it happen and that’s supposed to be against the rules but I ain’t blaming Old Miss for it trust me you’re not supposed to use it as recruiting
Inducement fact is that’s what it all that’s all it is and I’m not in back rooms and dealing with sources and understanding just how much money player X or player y are getting but Florida right now is a sinking ship and I just don’t think there’s any way that napers got enough
Shovels to get the water out we had heard in the last three weeks we I in a conversation that I had with a source very randomly associated with Florida football that things are not in a good spot over there in the last 48 hours 72 hours have just been disastrous
They did manage to to hold on to DJ lagway their five-star quarterback commitment and it looks like he’s going to sign with them within the hour but a lot of the rest of this class is being picked away and I promise you prying a recruit from Arkansas which they did
Earlier today ain’t going to fix anything so if you look around the rest of the Southeastern Conference should come as no surprise that Georgia has the number one ranked class in the country by on three Sports 28 commitments three of them are five stars Alabama right behind
Them with 25 commitments three of them are five stars Beck do you think that these players those three five stars assign with Alabama those 25 players that will commit to Alabama will have another coach by the time they’re finished at Alabama I will say yes if
They stay there for four years is that the first time you would have said that yes I would agree with that I I would I would agree I don’t think Nick Sabin there are some of some of these 25 will play four years at Alabama two or three
Five of them will play four years I think they’ll have a different coach which I’ve never said before either but that’s that’s what it feels like at this point so that’s Georg and Alabama at the Top Texas continues to roll um only 21 commits in their class in their uh High
School signing class three of those are five stars Oregon doing a nice job with Dan Lanning they come in at 5ifth Mike norell in Florida State they’ve upgraded the facilities there and while people think that they’re you know kind of little brother at this point because
They ran the table and didn’t get a chance to sit at the real big boy table they come in at six Hugh freze should come as no surprise he’s going to recruit and he’s going to organize and they’re going to do a good job of getting players in Kosh them they come
In with a number seventh ranked class Oklahoma coming into the SEC they’re ninth right now LSU coming in at 11th and on three Sports Tennessee at 12 I mentioned Florida at 14 Texas A&M with Mike Elco only 15 commitments on the high school side of this thing we know
That a lot of their players have left via the transfer portal as well they’re trying to reel some of those guys back in Shamar Stewart is a guy they’re trying to reel back in they’re trying to get Don McKinley uh to to sign his papers today Terry busy is a guy that’s
Looking around as well so A&M’s probably not done but this is that transition class for Texas A&M and I’ll tell you like candidly I’m not terrified of& M over the next 20 months I’m just I’m just not um that could change Mike Elco could could really you know do a great
Job in the portal and Coach him up on defense and maybe Colin Klein’s that dude on offense and they they find it somewhere around the corner but I’ve I’ve been intimidated by the talent level on that team for the last couple of years I don’t feel that way today
We’ll see how things move forward uh in the future Lincoln Riley’s class kind of average 11 four stars and 10 three stars 21 commitments for for Southern Cal and then the interesting thing that Old Miss um on the high school front 21 commitments for Old Miss eight of them
Four star 13 three star that lines up with what Old Miss usually does in recruiting they had that one class that had kimichi and Treadwell and um uh laramy tunel and that t fre put together and they they signed a monster class but usually they’re looking around 15 to 25
With a good number of three stars and a few fours sprinkled in it’s funny to me not funny that’s the wrong word interesting to me that lane kein it appears to me is very much prioritizing going to get the best transfer players like they’re going to spend their money
On Walter Nolan for a year as opposed to a potential four or five star High School kit and this is make no mistake this is like a salary cap thing like you’ve got a finite amount of money to spend like that’s where they’re going to spend it they’re going to get the camon
Richardson to play cornerback probably for one year Walter Nolan probably to play one year and I don’t know how the ni deals work with high schoolers you’re going to get this over three years you’d rather cut the the length of that contract and just pay the guy one up
Front and have him come in like but it’s obvious now that we can talk about money out in the open and you don’t have to be the the scorned lover who a a recruit picks another school you go oh they just paid him well now we we know they’re
Paying them that’s that’s obvious and Miss is prioritizing the payments to the portal kids and their High School class is is pretty pedestrian at this point um Arkansas is another school I wanted to talk about briefly um Sam Pitman feels like a guy that’s on his last leg we
Talked about it um yesterday with their class and how they had four four five four stars in Arkansas which doesn’t happen very often and two of them are already committed to Missouri and won to Auburn and Arkansas’s class if we look at it today is ranked 31st in the
Country right there with Purdue and NC State in Central Florida they’ve got 11 three stars and uh five four stars and then um a a two star committed that’s not going to move the needle for Sam Pitman and it feels like he and Billy Napier will both be out this time next
Year I have a lot of confidence in saying that when those bouts go down and the last school I wanted to mention with no SEC ties this is strange to me y’all I’ll be very honest Colorado’s signing class has nine players in it nine one five star three four stars and
Five three stars now they got Quincy Wiggins and they went and got a bunch of linemen from the portal including um you know one that was was an allc conference player and maybe that works but wasn’t the thought that Dion would just open the gates and five stars would be
Running to Boulder like isn’t that what we thought I don’t think anybody thought man Dion’s going to coach the heck out of the DBS they’re going to be awesome at that and they’ll just be awesome on defense because he’s a defensive guy like your thought when Dion got hired
Was he’ll bring the juice he’ll bring the publicity he’ll bring the bring the eyeballs and the players and then they’ll go coach him up where are the players their their class is ranked with Stanford and Minnesota there’s nine dudes in it huh how does this work 100% well not 100% 82%
Portal that seems like a very very difficult way to make a living I have no massively positive things to say about Dion or negative things to say about Dion I liked watching him play and I think he’s a reasonably interesting sound bite three minutes ago 20 247 Sports uh the festar offensive tackle
That Colorado had committed is apparently uh going to be flipping to Maryland that’s their crystal ball for 247 there you go so now you’ve got eight guys three four stars and five three stars not official but that’s their that’s their projection well they never
Miss on those so like I this is I the portal is important you got to do it you got to get in I but if you’re signing nine high school kids a year you have no chance in my opinion maybe he proves me wrong WR I think he’s got no chance at
This point so that’s my thought on some national Signing Day a Scuttle butt around the country we got 30 minutes left to go here we’ll come back with more on the hunt Palmer show you are now listening to the hunt Palmer show our listeners fire off their opinions on the

Munchies and it’s game day for the Saints against the Rams Off the Bench 7: to 10: a.m. 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge this is the hunt Palmer show on 1045 ESPN Baton Rouge bear with me here for the next 10 minutes this segment is probably better suited for like August 14th than December 20th um but it’s just something that dawned on me and I’ll I’ll toss it out there to you the uh
Football crazed LSU fan we know that LSU’s offense this year was highflying it was the best in the country they were stretching the field they were making can things happen on the edges your quarterback could run for 140 yards if he needed to like it it had an identity
And it was awesome and I think we’re all in agreement that that identity has got to shift next year based on Personnel right you don’t have a quarterback with the running acument of Jaden Daniels you don’t that you know of right now have two All-American wide receivers who
Might go in the first round of the following draft you might but you don’t know that and so as I start to think about how the offense could come together next year I look and I go well I like your tackles you’ve got Will Campbell and and Emory
Jones I think Lance herd could could win a spot there as as a really really talented player you may lose some of the interior of offensive line but you may get some of that back as well which kind of depends but it’s reasonable to think that Brad Davis’s offensive line is
Going to be a good one for LSU next year and then I think about the fact that maybe Logan Diggs is back I love Caleb Jackson Trey Holly looked good at practice yesterday you’re bringing in Kaden Durham okay well I’ve got a a big physical offensive line and some talented
Backs and I’m a little unproven at wide receiver I like Kiren Lacy I think Aaron Anderson still got a chapter to write in his story I love the speed of Jaylen Brown the Polish of Kyle Parker the the talent and athleticism of Shelton Samson but that may take some
Time so it would lend itself to hey maybe this is a team that runs the ball a little bit more and a little bit more effectively in a traditional sense not the Jaden Daniels play breaks down outrun defensive lineman get the corner and get me 25 yards no traditional read
Option stuff and handle off stuff with some talented backs and you know what pairs really nicely with that good tight ends Mason Taylor going into his Junior season really really productive player all of a sudden Matt marway and camoran pimpton are sophomores you’ve got the ridiculous frame and catch radius that pimpton
Offers we saw it in Fall Ball I’m telling you in Fall camp we saw camoran pimpton go up and make catches at the high point yesterday he looked good running routes didn’t have a drop marque’s big physical dude he can help with this running game that we’re
Talking about and he he can catch the ball too and oh by the way today you got a signature from trade as green the number one tight end in the country who can run and jump and he’s 6’7 and while there is some talent and depth ahead of him like we saw Eric
Gilbert come in here as the number one tight end in the country and be really productive before whatever happens off the field bring brought him away from the program that’s a guy that I think could come in and play well all of a sudden I’m starting to develop what may
Be the identity of this team it might be being physical and running the football on first downs it might be that on Third and threes and third and fives there’s some play action and some throws around the line of scrimmage that Garrett NM is very comfortable with to Big
Targets it’s a little bit more fun to watch Malik neighbors Moss guys in Starkville it’s a little more fun to watch those last three ridiculous wide receiver catches against Texas A&M I like Brian Thomas over the toop deep ball against Florida and maybe Shelton Samson is that dude maybe Shelton Samson looks just
Like Brian Thomas next year I don’t know but as I start to think about letting those receivers mature and grow up around Kiren Lacy I kind of like the idea of hey we’re going to give it to Logan Diggs if he’s back and he’s going to be a guy
That’s toward the top of the SEC in rushing yards we love the fact that when Diggs is kind of pounded away that oh those fresh legs of big strong sophomore Caleb Jackson are coming at you and you’ve got Kaden Durham who’s a home run hitter waiting in the wings as well
And oh by the way as I think about that tight end passing game around the line of scrimmage and I think about running the football and and being really physical behind a a veteran offensive line that’s been cultivated over three years of really strong recruiting you
Know what that opens up the Deep ball you know who like to throw the Deep ball Garrett nus that kind of feels like where this is headed right and I hadn’t given that a lot of thought because we’re worried about winning a Heisman Trophy and then you’re worried more about the recruiting
Aspect of it and then we start to look at Wisconsin but when I was going through the class today and I saw I started thinking about how they’re going to utilize guys in the program that are in this class and I I came across trade as green and I started thinking about
The tight end room and marway and pimpon Mason Taylor that’s where this whole thing kind of kind of showed up and we saw LSU kind of revamp the offense identity wise in the offseason last year we saw Mike Den Brock say out loud in press conferences we caught the ball
With our backs to the end zone too much last year we were good at it but we need to change that and get our receivers moving a little bit and they worked on that and with a phenomenal talented quarterback and phenomenal talents on the edge you saw the transformation of the offense it
Feels like in that internal study of what you’ve got what you do well and what you need to do with this group of players with that group on the offensive line that talent in the backfield unproven on the outside but really really strong at tight end that this
Makes a lot of sense to me now can they Implement that in February March and April and then get it roll on in August so that that’s what they look like when they take the field against USC I’ll be quite honest I don’t really want to lose a fifth straight season
Opener that really takes the wind out of the sales in a 12 team playoff area it’s a little bit better but I’d like it to hit the ground running and that kind of to me seems like where this thing is headed next year again I hope I’m wrong
And Shelton Samson and is is just mosson dudes and Jaylen Brown’s a deep threat and Aaron Anderson’s healthy and running jet sweeps and drag routes and nobody can can catch up to him and that hold that kyen lac’s great and like I hope all that’s the case but if I’m trying to
Be realistic about where position groups are with his LSU offense that’s kind of where I think it is but if you go back to the top of the show I I I said this I think the program in terms of the offense is in great great
Shape we’ll see just my thoughts on some LSU offense here we’ll get a little deeper into LSU and Wisconsin starting tomorrow because we’re off on Monday and Tuesday of next week Monday’s Christmas Tuesday we’re off we come back Wednesday Thursday Friday and then all of a sudden

But I do have news from Dennis Allen says Chris will play tomorrow night against the Rams so that’s good news uh for the black and gold back I think you’ve got some news maybe on Ryan Ramic who did not practice today is that what it sounds like yeah Mike triplet about
An hour ago I think uh said he said Ryan Ram will be out for the game tomorrow that’s a bummer obviously the Rams have a pretty salty pass rush a lot of that comes from the interior but um you want to have Ryan ramik available although
The Saints did do a pretty good job in protection last week uh with Landon young out there at right tackle so um bummer there but good news on a that that does help you if you’re the New Orleans Saints and certainly Derek Carr so we’ll get you all things saints and
Rams tomorrow uh is a big game day for both of them let’s do one more thing today it’s play take it or leave it all right first one here the Pelicans skeletons uniforms from last night uniform are take it or leave it I I I don’t really know how there can be
Another side to this this is a leave it all day long you there’s no way anyone can like those right I I don’t like them I you’re just going to have to do a little bit of explaining to me as to where we we started to get into different uniforms that aren’t anywhere
Remotely close to the color scheme of the team like if you want to wear the Marty gr uniforms for a couple of weeks because that’s unique to the city and in the fabric of the city okay that’s fine if LSU wants to go out there in all
Whites but they’re in purple and gold like I don’t like it but like I get it the Pelicans are red white and blue they’re out there in black and neon and I guess we have to do this because eight-year-olds will see this on TV and demand these jerseys for Christmas and
It drives revenue is this I how does anyone like this I I’m an old man I know like I know I’m self-aware but it’s the wrong color again though I think this is also part of the NBA trying to emulate soccer somewhat because in a lot a lot
Of a lot of times like the the bigger European teams they almost have a different Jersey every year and their third their third Jersey that they wear kind of like the alternate like for the Pelicans it is is always some offshoot of like a color that really has nothing
To do with the team so the teams have colors like the Saints are the black and gold they don’t need to go out there in green I like I I don’t I agree the purple and gold LSU doesn’t need to go out there we’re in we’re in Orange like
It’s so bizarre to me that the NBA has gone to this model where I can turn on TNT and have no idea what two teams are playing like no clue and for some reason I guess people it’s like people that want to wear LSU camouflage stuff like
They’re pink it’s just like that I’m all you want to wear camouflage like that’s great but LSU’s purple and gold get I don’t I just I don’t get it I don’t understand and I I guess it’s it’s here to stay I I I got do it back and forth
With my buddies in my group Tech yesterday because I’m not going this is not like a boycotting of the Cubs this is for my personal enjoyment the next time I go to Chicago which is usually a Friday Saturday Sunday I’m going to go to the Saturday game because on Fridays
They wear the navy blue softball uniforms and I hate them and I went last time and it took away from not all of my enjoyment but a portion of my enjoyment was taken away from the Cubs not wearing their pinstrip so I will go on Saturday when they’re guaranteed to wear the pen
Stripes and I will enjoy that and the Cubs won’t lose any money on it have to say that that is just I mean I understand you don’t like I’m never going to go but I don’t want to go on Friday I’ll go on Saturday usually on
Saturday we do what she wants to do it on Friday we do the Cubs game on Friday Jersey but I I want to see the Cubs and the pen Stripes it’s it’s Wrigley Field it’s the Green Ivy it’s the blue and white Pinstripes it’s not Navy with
Wrigglyville r on the it’s just it sucks all right all right let’s move on Steelers wide receiver George Pickins was asked about not blocking on a Red Zone run last week he said he didn’t want to get rolled up on so he bailed
Take it or it I got to leave it like I understand but at that point we just got to go sell insurance or we got to go you know be a plumber like we can’t it’s part of your job to block yeah you need to block the guy like that’s what we
Need to do it’s it’s tough on the offensive lineman we have to do on every play I I I I got to have you throw it this is a Red Zone run and he’s like yeah I can’t get hurt on that well no that’s not we can’t we can’t do that
Yeah all right hot chocolate take it or leave it take it there so many foods and drinks that I have not outgrown I have not outgrown Capri I don’t think anyone outs hot CH I’ve not outgrown hot chocolate I’ve not outgrown quesadillas or chicken fingers like and I I now have
Myers in the house who eats almost nothing but chicken fingers and french fries so I get like a few chicken fingers and fries like twice a week and it’s quite a perk I love making a quesadilla I feel like hot chocolate gets the ra of being a kids’s drink but
I’m I’m probably going to have some tonight cuz I’m watching wonderful I don’t yeah I don’t think so I I think hot chocolate is a universal drink and and everybody drinks coffee on Christmas morning and I have hot chocolate cuz I don’t drink coffee so that’s it’s it’s a
Good compromise all right last one here the Falcons have gone back to Taylor hinei Desmond Ritter has started his last game as a falcon take it or leave it I don’t know how they’re going to offload him he’s a draft pick they’re going to have him on the team next year
And if he’s on the team there’s a pretty good chance he’s going to at least start one game based on injury or unless well they could that’s that’s true um so I’ll leave it because I think he’s going to play for the Falcons next year um do I
Think his ship has sailed as their fr franchise quarterback I I think they’ve gotten enough of a look at it to look at this and go this is not the direction that the franchise needs to go I think there’s going to be a new coach there
Next year that’s going to have to make that decision because I think Arthur Smith is uh is toast but I think that the the Ritter experiment is done and they they’ll probably have to dip in and and find something else out I the Saints have got Carr it seems like the Bucs are
Going to go with Mayfield and the 49ers at least have another year in change of of Bryce young Falcons are the one that may have to make a move there and I think they probably will that’ll do it for a Signing Day edition of The Hunt
