There are many questions surrounding the LSU Football program this spring. After a few loses in the 2018 recruiting cycle, I believe the Tigers are in better shape than many people believe. The Tigers have to replace three potential first rounders and many other pieces from the 2017 squad. Luckily, Coach O played and rotated a lot of young guys last season.
Six bold predictions:
- At least 8 signees from the 2018 signing class will complete for playing time.
- Kristian Fulton will START on the opposite side of Greedy.
- Kary Vincent and Kelvin Joseph will rotate at Nickel.
- JaMarr Chase will be stout on special teams.
- Chris Curry will get reps week 1.
- There will be two 1,000 yard receivers for the first time since 2013 (Odell Beckham Jr and Jarvis Landry)
