LSU Tigers head football coach Brian Kelly spoke with the media earlier this week previewing the Tigers' matchup with the Georgia Bulldogs in the SEC Championship in Atlanta on Saturday. He mentioned how spending this week game prepping, while twelve other teams in the SEC start hitting the recruiting trail, puts LSU at a slight disadvantage in getting one-on-one and face-to-face time with the future Tigers on their radar. But just how big of a disadvantage is it? SI.com recruiting insider John Garcia Jr. joins Caroline Fenton of Locked On LSU to break down just how important this week is for recruiting: both for teams competing for a conference championship, and those that are not. Is it an advantage to have an extra week to visit recruits? Or is LSU on the right track?
Plus, two defensive linemen in LSU's 2023 class have de-committed over the past week. Why? Was there something Brian Kelly, Brian Polian, and the rest of the recruiting staff could have done to have held on to two key components of the 2023 class? What other talented players are targeting LSU that can fill those vacant spots in next years class?
