RECRUITING! RECRUITING! RECRUITING!: ARCH MANNING, SHAZZ ON CAMPUS NOWWWW?!?!?, THE 18TH GETTING HOT

by LONN PHILLIPS SULLIVAN

-We've marked Friday June 18th as a high caliber day for the Tigers' recruiting push for some time, though it looks to be getting more crowded by the day....even as LSU continues to host major visits throughout the week:

-2023 QB Arch Manning and his father Cooper were in Baton Rouge on Tuesday, hanging out with Coach Ed Orgeron and Offensive Coordinator Jake Peetz among others.

Among the information I've been permitted to share?

Cooper Manning wants a guarantee that Jake Peetz will still be at LSU by 2023 and beyond....considering Arch and his family have grown cozy next to Peetz.

LSU's Offensive Coordinator has both the personality & offensive philosophy to draw the Mannings to LSU, and it appears his likeable nature / aggressive offensive mindset are among the biggest reasons for the Mannings' purple & gold flirtation.

-#1 Louisiana WR Shazz Preston is on campus today, hanging out with WRs Coach Mickey Joseph and getting used to the sights and sounds of LSU.

Though his brother went to Mississippi State and many are projecting Shazz to leave Louisiana too, likely either for USC or Alabama....

Still.....I have a strong vibe that Shazz is staying.

We'll just have to see, but we know how Mickey Joseph works...and if he's only needing to seal up two guys from this class, DeColdest and Shazz, then I back Mickey to get both of his guys.

-2022 ATH Sam McCall will no longer be visiting LSU. McCall is one of the most in-demand players in the class, although he's already holding a Florida State commit.
