2018 LSU Recruiting Thread

The hottest free agent on the college football market may not be without a home for long. Former Ohio State quarterback Joe Burrow lined up his first two visits, according to Sports Illustrated’s Bruce Feldman.
Burrow could stay in state to finish his career with an official visit beginning tomorrow at Cincinnati. He follows a trip to the Bearcats with a weekend visit to LSU, Feldman reports. Both schools are considered top options for Burrow.

The 6-foot-3, 215-pound Burrow was ranked as the No. 8 dual-threat QB and the No. 280 overall prospect nationally in the 2015 class, per the 247Sports Composite. As a senior in 2014, Burrow won the Ohio Mr. Football Award, and led his team to the D-III state championship game.

Would be a very nice add, but I think at least 1 QB would transfer.

As things tend to do with the LSU fan base, the Burrow thing has escalated. Despite the fact he cant start for Ohio state, he is now the savior for LSU football. It sounds like Cincy has the lead, no one seems to know for sure. It will be a major meltdown amomg LSU fans if he doesn't come now.

The sad thing about the whole deal is that an Ohio State backup qb is probably a better option than any of our three scholarship qbs. I had high hopes for Brennan, he didn't impress in the Spring. Its sounds like McMillan is the starter now and he wasn't all that impressive either.

It wont be a good look for Orgeron or LSU if Burrows picks Cincy over LSU. And the staff will have made their scholarship qbs mad for naught.
