Logan Diggs in Columbia

Ah, ok. Maybe that's the case. I guess if she was on both visits, then that doesn't concern me so much.
Like @Prestonyte, I'd take Beamer any day. But the hometown school getting the last shot at wooing him is always concerning. I still gotta think that playing time wins out and he knows he's RB1 here the moment he commits. Of course, you know Kelly is telling him he's got a chance to compete for the RB1 spot there as well. If he looks at the RB rooms though, it's a clear difference between the two.
This is a super tough one to call. He's RB1 here, no doubt. But LSU is an hour from home and they do have a more complete RB room, but it's not exactly stacked. If they were returning a clear #1, I'd say it's us. But they were more RB by committee last year. '
All that to say, I have no idea.
I don't think next man up is really applicable here since we're not losing anything if he chooses LSU.
I agree. The fact he didn't announce on his visit and hasn't yet, is a positive for us.
As he looks at it it's: be a feature back on a mid-tier SEC team or split caries for an upper tier SEC school that's an hour from home.
In simplest terms, though it's a choice between being a feature back or playing close to home. Head vs Heart. Not an easy decision. Both schools offer him something the other cannot.
Yeah, you would think if he was already an LSU lean and they blew his socks off that he would have announced fairly quickly. Doesn't mean he won't still go there, but I believe it means he's still thinking through the decision.
Absolutely. A big one at that. It's honestly pretty huge that he's even considering us and that we landed him for an official. That is attributed to Beamer. Like most folks, when Diggs went in the portal, it was just assumed he was an instant lock for LSU, given all the connections.
Not sure if it means anything, but Sumo just committed to UK. He was the backup plan to Diggs. So, he either got tired of waiting or we felt good enough about our position with Diggs to tell him he should look for other options. If we miss on Diggs, we could be in trouble.
Poster on TBS says he spoke to Diggs' HS coach. He's really conflicted. He hasn't committed to anyone, which is good that he was able to hold out while on the visit. Kelly told him he wanted him to be a part of a 3 man rotation to keep everyone fresh, and didn't promise him a starting role or any particular PT. Said he feels like Loggains' offense would help him be a more versatile back, and the NIL deals are about the same.
I think there's this preconception that LSU is a CFP contender. I don't know where that comes from. The West was down last year. They got blasted by UT and lost by double digits to A&M. They were a solid, 9-3 team. We were a solid 8-4 team....who played a tougher schedule. Yeah, they made the SECCG, but it was over at halftime.
Anyway, if we lose him we lose him. But you have to tip the cap to Beamer for even putting up this fight given all he's had to overcome.

IMO, we lost out when Tank bailed. He turned out to be better than the one we got and the Aubbies did not use him enough at critical times like our game.
