Speaker 1: I'm stand as little helpers from jacob Hester and are
taking over Off the Bench, presented by All Star Toyota.
Tune in for some naughty and nice sports talk this
Christmas season live from La Studio. Here's jacob Hester and
from Christmas.
Speaker 2: All right, welcome back here Off the Bench our number three. Man,
what a show before we get this next segment started,
before we get into a little bit more recruiting, and
I I want to tell you about rejuve Me rejewven
me medical dot Com, one of our newest partners here
at Off the Bench. We are so fired up the
people over there, how that business has grown has been
incredible in this They've grown because they do things the
right way. They are Louisiana's a leader for the last
ten years in fourmone replacement therapy. It's something like it's
really uh. I think at one point people were a
little bit like nervous, bashful to talk about that back
in the day. But not anymore. Man, I think everybody
understands that things happen. There's ways to fix how your
body ages and how you're feeling. So man, if you're
feeling a little down, if you're feeling a little into dumps.
If you little lower libido, the energy that just that
go to that charisma that you used to.
Speaker 3: Have as as your younger self. Man, get it back.
Speaker 2: Just go get those free labs if you call them
book ahead twenty percent off those those free those those
labs that you get just to check underneath the hood,
see what's going on. Man's there's a fix for it
for go. So go check them out. They got so
many services for you, your wife, whoever it is. So go
check them out. Rejuven me medical dot com absolutely fat
the state too.
Speaker 4: Faright after having back they are if you're listening to
us in Louisiana, there's a location near you find the
location rejeven me medical dot com. All right, So we
have had a couple of signings come in for LSU
Safety Isaiah Washington officially became a Tiger about thirty minutes ago.
You have Safety Aiden Hall, which Elanja told us that
was about forty five minutes ago. You have Cornerback des
Ellis that was about an hour ago.
Speaker 3: And so Bradon Allen was the last one we told
you about. Receiver. You get a flip there, big get
for l s U.
Speaker 4: But and this is just me speculating you get three
dbs to sign back to back to back, some pretty
good sign maybe toward pointing towards Corey Raymond, Right.
Speaker 2: Is this is this like were these guys that were
all DB's kind of like on the fence, because I
know yesterday was kind of like turmin like so much
second for I mean, I would think most of the
defensive people would have been the ones saying, hey, we're
gonna We're just gonna wait for a second, just to
see how it all plays out.
Speaker 3: Is this any.
Speaker 5: Wall it is about Blake too?
Speaker 4: I feel like that's yeah, maybe for sure, Like I hope,
I hope for Blake again too, Like you just don't
need to hire that guy's bad guy red flags so ugly,
doesn't have no doesn't connect with the youth sleeves. This
can't hur a coach without.
Speaker 5: Sleeves trying to show up the kids.
Speaker 3: Yeah too much.
Speaker 2: Yeah, like Claire Days.
Speaker 3: True, Claire Days does be over. He always always.
Speaker 4: Always froun always always like it's not that serious, Claire.
Speaker 6: So you know how Anderson and Lamar Brown both delayed signing,
Like Aiden Hall and Richard Anderson, our teammates Edna car
So hopefully Aiden Hall is getting into his.
Speaker 5: Head like all right, man, sign already, But I don't know.
Speaker 6: It does make me feel good about Corey mostly, yeah,
me too.
Speaker 2: And look, I don't know that you're going to get
everybody to stay, do you want to?
Speaker 3: Yeah? You got relationships. And we know how important some
people are, certainly.
Speaker 4: Maybe not even on the field, but off the field
and recruiting, right, but I do know Corey Raymond on
and off the field, it's very important, Like what he
does off the field for recruits, Like you got a
recruit from California saying, yeah, I'll be there if he
he's there, right, The job he's done with Monsieur Delaine,
the job he's done. I mean, we could go through
the list, but just on this team. DJ Pickett's a
true freshman. He's out there and of course he's a
talented kid, but he's here because of Corey Raymond. Right,
he's the next in line for an All American corner
at LSU.
Speaker 3: So like that guy.
Speaker 4: Being in place is as important as anybody, Like it's
it's Blake Baker, it's Corey Raymond, Like those are the
two guys right now, and.
Speaker 2: We all know that here in Louisiana LSU people, and
I'm sure Lane knows that as well. But like, also,
he just got he just got here, like we like
you would expect a new coach, especially that's given all
the keys to the to the vehicle like he is,
like to the least, see, he still has to do
his due diligence right on Corey and Blake and and everybody.
Speaker 3: Even though we already know as.
Speaker 2: Fans, as followers of LSU, we know, like that's the
obvious choice.
Speaker 3: You got it.
Speaker 2: You gotta figure out a way to keep that guy
so but you but you also understand, like Lane's got
a he's got to at least talk with these guys
that figure out different because I'm sure this man right
here as being whoever his agent is getting a lot
of calls, right He's getting a lot of calls right
the second.
Speaker 3: So there's there's that situation.
Speaker 2: And you know, I'm sure everybody wants to improve their
contractual situation as well, just like everybody in life, improve
your standing. But we'll see, who's the kid from California
that his father said, uh.
Speaker 3: Yeah, and that one hasn't come in yet.
Speaker 2: If that's a good sign, that's that's the best side.
So yeah, yeah, say Dixon told us Sat that Hayven
finny quarterback. I guess California. Dad said, if Corey Aiman
is coaching, he will be there.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 4: Again, I've seen him do it as a GA, the
lowest you can be on the coaching depth chart. He's
done it from that point back when he was with us.
Like you said, Okay, this guy's gonna be He's gonna
be special.
Speaker 3: YEP.
Speaker 4: I remember having those conversations and then like he just
continues to elevate, elevate, elevate, he leaves, goes to Florida,
and you felt it and you're getting back and now
you feel it in the good way because you get
Monsieur de Lane, you get DJ Pickett to play it
an incredibly you know, high level and it's not just
you know, it's not just a Corns. Like we talked
about what Jake Olsen's done, the safety's coach, what he did,
like Aj Halsey playing at a high level, Marcus Cooley playing.
Speaker 3: At a high level.
Speaker 4: So yeah, man, this this defensive staff can stay intact
right now with what you have on offense, be a
special run.
Speaker 2: I got a big update, big recruiting update. Oh no,
it's disappointing.
Speaker 4: Oh I'm kind of nervous about what you think you're
about to say.
Speaker 2: Like I'm a little upset about it. All Right, we
got our first backward out picture.
Speaker 3: No with Lane, No, not with Lane.
Speaker 2: It's a recruit. They posted a picture. Look they were
with Lane was in the picture. Actually, Lane's not.
Speaker 3: Throwing up an else where's the picture?
Speaker 2: It's a shape posted it. It's it was a family
member of a signe. Because I'm gonna go with it's residual.
From the Brian Kelly, I don't want to speak for Lane,
but I think Lane should It is probably gonna he's not.
It doesn't seem like a back he looks like a
finger pistol. I don't think it's backwards out. I think
it's just residual backward ls right now from the Brian
care Mom's can do it no wrong? Yeah, I'll, but
I don't want it to be a trend. I don't
want this to continue. People recruits, families of recruits. Lane Kiffin,
you're listening. You hate this, So let's let's fire the
backward out with like, let it go with Brian Kelly,
give it a buy out if you need to.
Speaker 3: So what do you wanted to do with their left arm?
Just do it backwards? Just don't do that. Just don't
do it.
Speaker 2: But everybody's doing it. Blane's not doing it. Yeah, you
just you can go you can go backwards.
Speaker 3: Why does it bother you so bad? Though? I just
don't know why. It's always it's bothered Matt.
Speaker 4: The first time Brian Kelly did it, I'm gonna agree
chat with him. He's like, I can't get behind this guy.
Speaker 2: Because he backward held. He got on a rotating turntable
and did the pulp fiction eye. He put kids in
a toy box when they signed, like there was some
cringey things and the backwards hell just stuck and stuck,
and uh it's gross. So like, let's just can I
want everyone to agree with me? So I'm just gonna
ask you can we agree that we're gonna let's cancel it.
I know, cancel. Culture is past. We're kind of past
canceled culture. Let's cancel the backward own that.
Speaker 3: It doesn't affect me like it does you.
Speaker 4: But since you are so passionate and you have that passion,
I'll get behind it with you.
Speaker 3: Thank you.
Speaker 5: I think it's stupid, for sure, it's really dumb.
Speaker 2: Don't do it. Just don't do it again. Mothers, can
you can do it. You can't do no wrong. So
if your son's size. But it's just it's just it's
residual backward els from Brian Carrett Kelly.
Speaker 3: Here, let's get rid of it.
Speaker 5: Retire it.
Speaker 3: Yeah, buy out, it's going.
Speaker 6: I haven't seen any updates about any other recruits or
any de commitments or anything.
Speaker 2: So, by the way, when yeah, I don't know why
it's a thing where who started the L well like
which I have no idea. Usually it was the people
also the people that ran to pick up the boot
that started the L.
Speaker 3: Clean jerseys. You never go you never went and picked
up the golden.
Speaker 2: Bootb No, they'll clean jerseys. I think they started the L.
I don't know. Somebody actually was who texted us one
time when we were in the air talking about it.
Speaker 3: Was it Bonnet that texted us that.
Speaker 2: Started started track track or I think, so, gosh, that's
a good that's a good memory there you got.
Speaker 3: I'm not really I know when it comes to names now,
it's not.
Speaker 4: The track team started the L back in the nineteen nineties. Okay,
he said it took a while to catch home with football.
Speaker 3: Got it well. Shout out to Michael Bannett.
Speaker 2: I don't like the l but but I can live
with it. Backward owt, I can't live with someone in
the chat earlier we were talking. Obviously we were talking.
We were talking is about Blake Baker directly to the
two Lite people heat to two Lane only he hates football. Yes,
he hates football so much he wears a baseball cap.
Speaker 5: Absolutely well, I've won the baseball She would rather.
Speaker 6: Be a baseball player or a baseball coach than a
football coach.
Speaker 5: Don't do it.
Speaker 3: I remember.
Speaker 4: So I started where I start wearing the same baseball
Mine was mostly because I've got a big ass head
and like those little like the one that got like
with the little tie in the back that you kind
of pulled it just like does fit, but it kind
of looks like a Yamaica on my head. So I
went with the baseball hat too, And I remember the
baseball equipment guy. Shout out to my guy Mango. He
was like, ah see, yeah, you got the baseball I
had here on the football sidelines. I was like yeah,
because Jay Johnson is a dog and when's championships. I'm
trying to bring some of that magic over here to
the grid Iron. It didn't work this year, but grit
loading like that.
Speaker 3: Thank you? Did you just come up with something? Sure?
Speaker 2: It did the grid Iron. Have you ever met a
fitted cap that fit you? I have, Yeah, like the
LSU baseball and yeah, they don't fit me. Seven and
three fourth, it's all about the snapbacks.
Speaker 3: Well, it's a snap back that's special. That's a march.
Speaker 4: Don't act like it's like just you're not going to
lids and grabbing the first hat that you see.
Speaker 3: That's a snap back, and it's fitting down.
Speaker 2: Of dollars at hat stores. People have wasted dollars, given
me free hats. I'm like, people give me free, give
it to me.
Speaker 3: I feel so bad. There's people are given to you.
Speaker 4: And then like this LSU special and I'm like, yeah,
it's going straight to the kids.
Speaker 3: And Katie, here you go. Here's a new hat.
Speaker 2: Going straight to my big plastic bin in my closet
that I hadn't opened.
Speaker 3: Years. We're throwing new hats and hoarder.
Speaker 2: Not really, it's like hats that either means something that
I actually keep.
Speaker 4: Like uh AFC West Division champs.
Speaker 3: That's as good as I've gotten everything else. I don't
have those.
Speaker 6: Some kind of sad news from basketball. Did y'all see that?
Speaker 5: Man?
Speaker 6: This makes me so sad. I feel so bad for him.
So Jalen Reid is out for the season. He tore
his achilles versus drake, but he had just came back
from a season ending knee injury last seasonal so it
just sucks, like I just feel so good or so
bad for him, And like he's really good off the bench,
and he's a red shirt junior, so he can come
back next season if he wants, But it just sucks,
like I feel bad for him.
Speaker 3: Yeah, man, you put that much time and effort into.
Speaker 5: Like coming back, yeah.
Speaker 4: Getting back on the court. And like we've all had injuries, right,
We've all had those ones that take three, five six
months to come back from. Remember having microfracture after my
rookie year, And it's just it's not fun. You want
to rehab every single day and it's all that you
really know, and you try to be yourself and you
can't be for a long time, and you got a
little hitching your get up and then you're a little
bit nervous. Man, if I'm doing this, am I gonna
do it again? And unfortunately for him that he does
and the basketball team as a whole, Like it's a
good win against Drake and you've got some good wins
and you beat the hell out of DePaul after that.
Speaker 3: But yeah, because I.
Speaker 5: Mean, I mean, he was giving you some really good
but he's.
Speaker 3: Given you like eighteen to twenty two minutes off the bench.
Speaker 6: Yeah, you know it is averaging fifty seven percent from
the field, twenty to thirty five, nine and a half
points per game, five and five point seven rebounds, So
it's a lot of production coming off the bench that
you're missing.
Speaker 2: I can't even begin to understand what, like emotionally, what
he's doing one with right now, because of course we've
dealt with injuries, but certainly I don't I mean, a
season and an injury then you're coming back, Like how
much emotions that takes just to get back right in
the work and the effort and the time and not
only your time, but people, trainer's time, everything, and then
to do it again. I can I can't understand, but
I can certainly sympathize and uh, you know, Park goes.
Speaker 3: Out to him.
Speaker 5: Also just hit tight end.
Speaker 6: J C. Anderson flipped from Ole Miss and signed with LSU, So.
Speaker 4: That one is offishaw, not that he committed. Okay, that's
a going man. It's a you know, top ten sar
tight end. And let me tell you the tight end
is a position that Lane Kiffin is going to utilize.
And so you pair that with Trade eds Green obviously,
and you've got you know, pretty good tight in room.
Now you fell short there you get bat or Sharp
from Oklahoma. I think you were looking for more production
from him blocking and certainly as a receiver. So you know,
I would assume maybe even get an older player out
of the p You paid that with some young talent
and kind of a cheeko with trade is Green, and God,
I just giddy thinking about what they can do with.
Speaker 3: Him compared to how he was utilized over the last
couple of months. I ain't never had anybody like him.
Speaker 5: I can think of like Tradas, Yeah, not off the
top of my many.
Speaker 2: Human in the earth, right, your only good play has
been the oop to you. It was popularized by Varsity Blues.
Speaker 4: Where you put four receivers to one side and you
single up the other receiver and everybody kind of knows
the ball is going there.
Speaker 3: And it hadn't matter because every point games Valistan. That's
what I said.
Speaker 2: You know your varsity Blues b with the This was
posted five minutes ago. But our guy Shay go check
him out on Twitter with the additions. So this was
this was before the This was before I don't know,
you guys are the pros with the handles.
Speaker 3: Uh, this is before the tight Ends came out.
Speaker 2: The addition of four star receiver Corey Barber's LSU just
moved into the top ten on rivals.
Speaker 3: Let's go on the recruiting class. Let's go, let's go.
So now we just got another four star added.
Speaker 5: To it, right, Yeah, we flipped him earlier.
Speaker 3: Okay, that's what's up. So to kind of tell you, like,
so if we're tight end J. C.
Speaker 4: Anderson, if you go and you look at all the
other people that have signed, well they took you know,
the official visits, and they dressed in the uniform, and
so they've got the video with all the different looks
in the LSU uniform and this is just him and
like a mock up because like this was an Old
Miss commit like this he was going to Old Miss
and he follows this staff to LSU. So this was
somebody that he is coming to baton rouge because of
how much he enjoyed that staff there at Old Miss.
Speaker 2: And we and we talked about this at the beginning
of the show. But like when you're when you were
a player out of high school or in a transfer
portal for that matter, and you were deciding to go
to a university to play football, like and you look
at all the reasons coaches, tradition, opponents, opportunity, depth chart,
the system that you're going into. Usually if you put
all that into a pie chart, the biggest slice of
pie is going to be coaches. Like you are going
there because you have a personal relationship with a coach,
you like the system that he runs. So the biggest
determining factor for most of these people is coaches. So
it is no surprise that there are flips that were
committed to Ole Miss and Lane Kiffin would flip to LSU.
And again in the same breath, there's no surprise that
people that were committed to LSU would be wait and
see for a little bit and that's why a little
bit of turmoil yesterday. But like this is these are
human beings making decisions, and they're gonna make the decision.
Like most the biggest slice of that pie, the biggest
reason people go somewhere is because of the coach. Like
you fall in love with the university like a little
bit afterwards, but the reason why you go through the
beginning is usually because of the coach.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and there's more ole Miss coaches that have been
added to this staff over the last twenty four hours,
well officially, like Louis Spanos defensive analysts. I saw him
in the building yesterday. Dane Stevens going to be the
quarterback coach for the Tigers moving forward, and so not
a lot of defensive staff movement here now. Spanos was
a long time NFL coach coach for Washington when la
Ron Landry was there, Perry Riley was there for a
long time, so a lot of NFL experience, certainly a
lot of college experience too, but that's somebody who's been
on the coaching world for a very very long time.
And then Stevens comes over as a quarterbacks coach. So
the offensive staff yeah pretty much right is kind of
finalize you're looking obviously running back, but you've got inside
a receivers coach, you got a receivers coach, you got
a quarterback coach. So we'll see what it looks like
to kind of finalize the offensive staff. But really defense,
it's probably in the wait and see process for sure.
Speaker 3: And understandably and right, yeah.
Speaker 2: So but before right before you go back, I just
want to bring up one more thing. There's someone in
the chat saying national rankings are going to be different
rankings on different sites. So this guy says LSU's twelfth nationally.
He said, that's mid if we're being honest with ourselves.
But go back and listen to what Shaye Dixon told
us earlier in the show, Like the numbers are not there,
so the quantity of players aren't necessarily gonna be there.
I think he said, we're looking at about fifteen signings potentially,
but if you look at the average ranking of every player,
I think he said four star was like ninety percent,
ninety to ninety six or something like five stars or
ninety six or seven and above. If you look at
the average ranking, I believe he said LSU like per
signing is I think second in the country behind Organ.
Speaker 4: Yeah, he said, average rating of player that signed with
you or is going to sign with you is second
in the country. So which quality over quantity like you
mentioned when we had Shay on there.
Speaker 2: So that's going to affect the overall rankings that you're seeing.
So like for LSU to be in a top ten
with not that many signings is pretty substantial.
Speaker 4: Yes, and then you're gonna leave some spots open the
air for the transfer portal as we all know. Yeah,
there's gonna be some real movement in the portal four LSU,
probably more than it's ever had before. Because look, that's
what you know, Lane Kiven's been really good at is
identifying talent.
Speaker 3: And then you got twenty five million yep, got a.
Speaker 4: Lot of money to play with there in the portal,
and like I want to see, like please, uh the
retention of your roster too, Like of players like Lane's
played Lshue every year he's been at ole Miss. He
knows these guys. He knows the ones that gave him
headaches when they were planning to play LSU. He knows
the ones that they were like, hey, we're gonna pick
on this guy. We're being honest with ourselves. Hey, we
were picking on this guy and we played LSU right,
he doesn't fit what we want to do.
Speaker 3: Like, there's gonna be some of that too.
Speaker 4: Right, wrong or indifferent. So there's gonna be a lot
of movement on the roster. There's no doubt about that.
Speaker 2: Yeah, I mean there's certainly gonna be those guys. I mean,
he got five losses this year, so that there's gonna
be gonna be changes made.
Speaker 4: All right, we'll take a break. More OTB women. Come
back here live from the Raisin Gains studio.
Speaker 3: Off the bench, all right, Go to get.

it's off the bench with Jacob Hester and Matt Flynn.
Speaker 4: Okay, little sixth grade Ridgewood Raiders Middle School dance. I
almost got out there to dance to this one. Almost
mm hmm.
Speaker 3: Guys on one side of the basketball court or on
the other side, that's right, that's right.
Speaker 2: I had been out there, moved my shoulders a little
bit had a couple of people that hit puberty early.
Speaker 3: You know that I almost got out there.
Speaker 4: Uh huh.
Speaker 3: I'm not sure. Why are all the only the kids
in eighth grade with mustaches out there?
Speaker 4: That was pre evangel We didn't have mustache? That was
Ridgiiddle school. Shout out to the Raiders. I'm not even
sure if that's still school anymore, but if it isn't,
it should be shout out, great Colors, Charge of Colors.
Speaker 6: Did y'all see this Diego Pavia stuff that he asked
Trump to sign an executive order to expand the playoff
to sixteen teams per real?
Speaker 5: Yeah?
Speaker 3: Oh wow, I love it. I think they could pull
that in two weeks. I want Vandy to get in
so bad, but right now they're not. I know they're
going to need some help.
Speaker 5: They're the first four out.
Speaker 3: I know, it's Texas.
Speaker 5: Texas is first four out.
Speaker 6: It's Texas, Vandy, Utah, and USC Miami is in.
Speaker 2: So like runner ups, if any team gets sick or anything,
they can fill in.
Speaker 4: The quarterback gets hurt, like we've seen that before, head
coach leaves.
Speaker 7: M hm.
Speaker 5: Well they actually weren't affected by that at all. They're
still six yeah.
Speaker 4: Uh, because our head coach, in the goodness of his heart,
cinema offensive coordinator to save him.
Speaker 6: Ye Carters petty ass was like, yeah, come on, like
he got on the plane too.
Speaker 3: Oh miss yellowist one, Like Lane is so good, he's
so charitable.
Speaker 2: Yeah, he's given you our offensive coordinator.
Speaker 3: Who you want the tight ends coach calling plays you want? Wise? Yes? Wow,
yellows one, old man.
Speaker 4: I don't know the Titans coach, but I'm just like
Matt said earlier, it's usually who we attack.
Speaker 2: Didn't you imagine that guy walking back in the building
though awkward?
Speaker 4: Yeah, and now his dad's been a head coach for
a long time, like he probably like.
Speaker 2: And now you got like he knows the game players
from old MI now saying like, now what Lane said
is a lie. We actually didn't say we wanted him
to keep coaching.
Speaker 3: Yeah, I don't really care. I care about three lets
one school Wise were cool.
Speaker 4: Uh, We're good. So A and M's offense coordinator. Reports
are he's going to go coach at Kansas State. Ohio
State's offense coordinator reports are he's going to go coach
at South Florida.
Speaker 3: So like this coaching carousel is not over. That's Brian Hartline.
Speaker 4: By the way, we played against him in the National
Championship Game. Do you remember that? Oh yeah, him and
Marcus Freeman. What position in Brian Hartline play receiver? Okay,
just making sure he played a long time in the NFL.
So if you didn't know from the NFL, not from
Ohio State, did you.
Speaker 3: Know we played against him? I mean you're the quarterbacks.
I guess I did not know.
Speaker 2: Okay, I knew it, like it was never a connecting
point when I saw him playing in the NFL.
Speaker 3: Okay, when you think of that Ohio State team, first
name he thought of two? Laron Eis yeah and uh
Goldstan guy five pick. I don't know if he ever
had a career sack in the NFL top five like
off the bus team? Are you kidding?
Speaker 2: No doubt Cardinal Stewart worked him relatively.
Speaker 3: There's a couple of chips that I remember that game
we won. Uh yeah, Larry Nice was a dog.
Speaker 6: How did Kentucky, who fired their coach after everybody else
did get a coach before Penn State Wild?
Speaker 4: No one wants to dance talk like we talked about
like he's like, no, I played I played full back
at b y U.
Speaker 3: I'm staying here.
Speaker 6: That's wild because every like the reports were coming out
that they were closing in on a deal with him,
and then Byu is like.
Speaker 4: So I know, look, b Yus been consistent. So it's
not like I'm hating on b YU, but like you're
Penn State and you can't convince the b YU coach to.
Speaker 3: Come where are you doing? Where you going?
Speaker 7: Well?
Speaker 3: Is this in with Brian Kelly going to Penn State?
Speaker 5: WILLI Fritz is being floated around?
Speaker 3: Will he just got to Houston?
Speaker 2: Yeah, I'm still confused about this day Ball situation because
he was like the lock as soon as he got fired.
Speaker 3: Bless your Cassie.
Speaker 4: What they really need you to fight down over there, Cassie,
real loud all day long.
Speaker 6: Anyway, this is really funny, Like this Penn State stuff
is cracking me up.
Speaker 3: Sucks.
Speaker 5: It's like they were a big game hunting.
Speaker 6: They went like after Signetti and Freeman they thought they were, and.
Speaker 3: Then I kind of lost in this all too.
Speaker 2: It's like, who's all miss King of sign Like are
they gonna just stick with Goldings?
Speaker 6: It? Is? It?
Speaker 3: Like, yeah, he's not on it? No, there's no.
Speaker 5: He's the guy that feels like a panic bro.
Speaker 3: I mean, come on, penny loafers, we'll see.
Speaker 7: Wow.
Speaker 3: It feels like there's not going to be any in between.
Speaker 4: It's either going to be it's either going to be
successful or it's going to be Zach Arnett two point
zero at Mississippi State.
Speaker 2: Yeah, but you talked about it all getting off the
bus team yep.
Speaker 3: How about with this new signing for LSU.
Speaker 4: Did you check the stats on this?
Speaker 2: This is from Shay. I'm just asking. I did not
check the stats on those. Yeah, for trusting Shay. Right,
we're checking the number eleven tight end in America who's
been committed all miss since July one has signed with
LSU and six foot seven, two hundred and forty pounds.
Speaker 3: So yeah, you heard it right.
Speaker 2: That means there's in the tight end room between two
guys the total of thirteen feet two inches.
Speaker 3: There's two six foot seven guys. Yeah. You can do
this with your hands if you want.
Speaker 5: I'm not doing it.
Speaker 3: I'm not doing it now.
Speaker 2: I did not fact check Shay on his measurables because
he wouldn't put it out there. But that's two guys
that I mean you're just looking at the size.
Speaker 4: Good good lord, and again like he's got a great
plan with tight ends. Tight end was was an issue
in our game and that's how they closed out the game.
If you remember throwing the throwback to the tight end
coming across the formation there.
Speaker 3: So that is that's a big deal. Literally, he's six
to seven is a very tall deal.
Speaker 2: I'll drink of water drinking my high these guys. Can
you believe that these are cruit are about to get
their ants on? Like all you can drink my high?
Do you think that's that's probably part.
Speaker 3: Of the cell.
Speaker 6: Yeah, like you get my high if you come and
they're like sold as much as you want.
Speaker 4: I mean, let me tell you something. The Texas A
and M linebacker was like he was a good interview,
but once he found out I had free my high
for him, it was his best friend. He loved me. Yeah,
I mean what I gave. I gave him a hat
and he's like he thought that was gold. And I'm like, man,
I don't know how much you make an nil and
this has making you really excited as.
Speaker 3: Good as gold, buddy.
Speaker 2: Perfect hydration performance enhancing Wait what yeah? Great hydration enhances
your performance. Oh okay, not a ped right.
Speaker 3: There.
Speaker 4: I mean you said performance enhancing, and I started thinking
like jose Cansenko, I wish you want you want jose
Can Sinko on the team. Oh yeah, you're a big
Rangers fans bombs.
Speaker 3: Yeah, he was the.
Speaker 2: Rangers all, you know, slow pitch softball team.
Speaker 3: When we don't have Today's not the day. Today's not
the day, and we have to go.
Speaker 4: But if you ever have a chance, go back and
listen to hanging with Hester the OG days like twenty eighteen,
we put together are starting nine slow pit so offtball
team and it.
Speaker 3: Was elite, very I'm intrigued anyway.
Speaker 2: From recruit standpoint, guys, LSU fans, when you think of
our tight end rim you can say it six seven.
Speaker 5: I hate this so much.
Speaker 3: I hate it, sorry, hate so much. I'm gonna go

Speaker 4: Well, if they're sick, yeah, yeah, Well they're watching the Yeah.
Speaker 2: I mean, if teachers actually want their kids to learn
something in school, maybe turn on new TV.
Speaker 4: Uh So, one of the names to watch throughout the
day for a flip watch is going to be Landon Duckworth,
quarterback who's committed to South Carolina. Certainly one that Shay
put on everyone's radar this morning when he joined us,
And if you miss that, you can go back and
listen to it. Shaye Dixon joined us at seven point
fifteen this morning to give you.
Speaker 3: All the latest and greatest.
Speaker 4: When it comes to all the rumors and whispers in
the fong bombs as they call him over there on
on three Duckworth, you say, yeah, quite quick, quiet, there's
a lot of possibilities and apparently like he goes by Duck,
which I don't m.
Speaker 3: For a quarterback.
Speaker 5: I like it, like Duck Hodges. I mean, I guess
he wasn't right, but.
Speaker 3: Like you don't want to throw ducks, but it could work.
Speaker 2: It could work, okay, because like there's some names that
just go yeah like Duck.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: Well, yeah for sure. And I'm saying, like, but you
don't want to throw a duck. Yeah, that's true. Like
Quentin Jammer being a corner that was elite. That's pretty good.
Speaker 4: Like the new strength coach Nick Savage being a strength coach.
Yeah pretty good.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You see you can see him walking around going like
like this, right, a little duck back.
Speaker 5: He runs for a touchdown and he's in the ends and.
Speaker 3: Like this, okay, all right, all right, you're selling me.
Get ducked up, quack quack, get ducked up, get ducked up. Okay,
yeah kind of like that.
Speaker 5: All right, I like it, know you this bomb, don't duck.
Speaker 3: Okay, Yeah, I'm reaching.
Speaker 2: Yeah, we're hey, all these Cassie, great idea, All these
ideas are great ideas. Giled it carefull, we put it
up like all the fine v I think I don't
want to put words in his mouth, but I'm sure
he would do that. And then we were looking it
up the antagonist and the Mighty Ducks. His name was
do you remember his name Duckworth, Mister Duckworth, Gerald Duckworth.
Speaker 3: Yeah, who created the team sponsored the thing.
Speaker 4: Inside the game Cocks, which obviously covered South Carolina. It
just put out a tweet a minute ago. Landen Duckworth,
four star quarterback, who has been committed to South Carolina
twice in the process, is set to flip to LSU
Accord two sources.
Speaker 3: He's been committed twice to them. Didn't sound like a
very good commitment, soft launch. That's fair, right.
Speaker 4: The relationship never went official. It was never a social
media official.
Speaker 5: They were in the talking stage.
Speaker 4: They were and then South Carolina thought they were there.
Speaker 5: Yeah, but they never DTRD.
Speaker 3: Yeah.
Speaker 2: You know what, I got a question for you, you can
answer this, okay. So I've always like people. There's conversations
in life that you have to have with people, whether
it's like a breakup or you have to fire somebody
or like there's hard conversations with all dread having right
making that pull, seeing that person face to face, whatever
it is like in your nervous about your palms are sweaty, Like.
Speaker 3: When you d commit.
Speaker 2: To somebody, I get a oh when you commit, you
de commit somewhere. It's one of those conversations. So you
were committed to Texas long time to prove it? What
was that conversation like when you called Texas who did
you call? What did that conversation like? Was it like
pretty matter of fact? Like how did he go?
Speaker 4: Yeah, I mean, my parents are gonna make me do
what you should, Like they're not calling and starting intro
and you're like, yeah, yeah, hey, hey, we got Jacob
on the phone. Yeah no, uh yeah. Talked to Mack Brown.
He was fantastic. He understood. It was not a hard thought. Now,
was I, as a eighteen year old nervous?
Speaker 3: Is you know what? Absolutely? I'm calling the head coach
of Texas.
Speaker 4: You know, I've been committed here for a long time,
but you know that offer, like I was really kind
of like banking on and hoping to get I got it.
And Coach Saban is my primary recruiter, I see. The
only person I talked to like Kirk Dall because he
had the territory and Kirk was great, still live in
batter Rouche, but like it was Coach Saban and like
as soon as he like laid out the plan and
told me what he thought I was going to be,
Like I called Mac Brown, I'm my hey, coach. I
appreciate y'all. Y'all were one of the first teams to
offer me a scholarship. I know a lot of guys
from my high school have gone to Texas. There's a
pipeline there, and I appreciate you thinking I'm good enough
to play there, but I got my dream team to
offer me and LSU just offered and Coach saban pretty much.
I mean, look, it was late in the praise, like, hey,
are you coming or not? Right, like we need we
need to know. Don't have a lot of clout right,
so like, I mean, he wanted me, but he's like, hey,
like we got to move on. If not, it's like
I've been saving the scholarship with you in mine. So
I called him and said, hey, they offered, and I
said I cannot not go to LSU.
Speaker 3: It's like I've been, you know, dreaming of going LSU.
And he was rate. He goes man, he said, I
hope they wouldn't. I knew they would.
Speaker 4: It was like the thing he said, and he's like,
I knew that we had you over everybody but l
s U. And uh, he said, I knew if they happened. Yeah,
He's like, I knew if that happened that it would
be tough to hold on to you.
Speaker 3: But he's like, we appreciate you.
Speaker 4: If for whatever reason in the future something doesn't work out,
call me now. Every time I interviewed Matt Brown on
Serious XM, he starts with you let me down right, But.
Speaker 3: He was surprised me about him. Yeah, he was great.
If it was another guy with situation.
Speaker 2: Is probably like the easiest situation because it wasn't you
were an out of state guy like the ind state
guy did it.
Speaker 3: And I'm sure it's a little bit harder too because they.
Speaker 4: Honestly, he probably thought Adrian Peterson was coming there too,
if I'm being honest and so, like, look, I've got
a lot of confidence in myself.
Speaker 3: I was a good player.
Speaker 4: I wasn't a distant cousin relative to what Adrian Peterson was, right,
so he probably thought that.
Speaker 2: And I thought it was I thought it was a
little bit hard too, because like and this is I know,
we make fun of it a lot and make fun
of you a lot on this but as like a
two star guy, like I'm sure they were the first,
like big, big school blue blood to believe in you
and reach out to make that make that I mean,
you writ.
Speaker 4: Anybody's a risk, but like maybe the Texas offer because
my offer list didn't match up.
Speaker 2: I didn't get a Texas offer, a just sign Vince Young.
That was a big one growing up in Texas. Like, yeah,
they offered you, like everybody was.
Speaker 4: Yeah, and it's a little different now, but like my
offer list didn't match my stars. But once I got
the Texas offer, then here came Notre Dame, here came,
and here came you know whoever started to come in.
Yeah for sure. So yeah it was Texas for sure.
They kind of got the process started.
Speaker 2: So when we talked about this kid, Duckworth Land and
Duckworth was committed two commitments to South Carolina. That second
one probably a little tough break up with the same
girl twice. Yeah, but I'm sure some are like harder
than others, right, like say, like yours is probably the
easiest type conversation, like out of state guide the in
state school offered. They understand that, but some of them,
I'm sure some of these coaches make it tough. Like
I remember the Baylor coach at the time, like telling
my death and my dad played a Baylor.
Speaker 3: My family went to Baylor. I grew up at Baylor.
Gays like Guy Morris, he has just been hired. Oh yeah, yeah.
Speaker 2: He was like in our house, our home, basically telling
my dad like I don't see why you're gonna let
your son go to LSU, Like why wouldn't.
Speaker 3: You send them to Baylor? Oh? It was like that.
Speaker 2: It was like that, oh wow, yeah, I'm glad to
have Mac to call on that guy. Like, and I
was never committed to Baylor. It was like, why would
you sound like you're gonna let him go to Baton
Rouge the debauchery.
Speaker 3: My dad was like, uh, yeah, you can go ahead.
Speaker 2: And like I'm like a booster at LSU, like I
do everything for the alumni, like lay there, but you
can Baylor. Yeah, I'm a big like do anything to
support Baylor. But like you can go ahead and see
yourself on out of here. Yeah, you put those ribs.
I can't play that Ruth prepared for you and you
get the hell out of my house.
Speaker 3: Save my wife's name, right. Yeah. And I think Cose
was so good at recruiting.
Speaker 4: I could I could tell a coach saving recruiting stories
and how basically he was like, yeah, you're not going
to Texas, You're going to LSU, Yes, sir, Okay, that's
