    This was posted on the recruiting forum but it deserves specific attention.

    https://247sports.com/college/lsu/A...g-2020-class-Arik-Gilbert-commits--137415953/

    Thought by everyone to be committing to Alabama or secondly Georgia, LSU was a forgone conclusion for the best TE in the country, the #10 overall prospect in the nation (highly unusual for a TE).

    But LSU lands him.

    No way not even a few short months ago before the season started that LSU would land a player like this.

    But here we are.

    The new and improved LSU.

    The recruiting battle for the #1 spot is officially up for grabs between LSU, Alabama, Clemson and Ohio State in 2020.

    Very rare for a TE to even get a 5th star. He must be another Gronkowski.

    We’re ahead of Bama considering we’re only 22 committed ... Great to KNOW AND BE NUMBER ONE IN SEC

    Joe M<REDACTED>ING Brady! Offense has turned around and recruits see it. Now don't we have another tightend committed that is like 6'7"... maybe we can do what the Pats did with Gronk and Gonzales, mismatches all day.

    I agree this is a watershed moment for LSU. I just hope our great players from Louisiana notice that great players from out of state want to come to LSU. The Tide has turned (downward).

    Per 247, Gilbert is:

    6’5” ~250

    Runs a 4.78 40.

    Is the #10 player and #1 TE in the nation.

    And is the highest rated TE in 247 history.

    Rumor has it that Myles Brennan is taking him to the sizzler this weekend...
