Wiltfong thinks we'll lose Waller

If coach Napier can't hold on to every single one of our top recruits then he needs to go.
His only value right now is recruiting.
He isn't good at anything else.

If we lose out we're probably going to lose a couple more.
We need to keep Lagway and Fletcher on offense and pray that the linebackers stick.
I am worried about Filsaime the most.

That is a little over the top, don't you think? Now if he dropped out of the top 6 or 7, I could understand your angst.
I feel he needs to be top 5 minimum. And it was a bit over the top but he wasn’t really wrong. In game coaching and development haven’t been good and his portal recruiting is a bit sketchy. He needs this class to largely stay together or what is he bringing to the table?
We're probably going to lose 2 or 3 of our highest rated recruits that are committed to us.
Development hasn't been good?
Wasn't O'Cyrus Torrence something like a two star recruit who ended up being an All-American?
The inverse is how many highly rated kids haven’t gotten better? Overall team development has been poor. You can find exceptions to the rule.
I'm not sure what you think the "rule" is?
I find it disturbing when statements that have no foundation are made that are based on emotion or for the purpose of trying to advance some narrative or agenda.
I am not sure how one judges the development of "highly rated kids" on one recruiting class that BN staff recruited?
One can only use his time at Louisiana, but even that has a small sample size.
A quick look at the number of "highly rated kids" that BN signed there between 2020-2022 shows a grand total of TWO four star prospects!
Yet, in the same time period, there were SIX players drafted from Louisiana.
Recruit & Develop: Napier Made Believers Out of Ragin' Cajuns
I still think the sample size is rather small, but I don't think one can definitely say BN does NOT develop players.
Let's see in about three or four years.
The rule being 2 stars (I think Torrence was one) not making the nfl. It’s a generalization but most aren’t second round picks.
Napier took over a 6 win team, won 6 year 1 and is on pace for 5 (let’s hope the second half goes our way against lsu) and we look like we’re regressing. LSU game looks better currently. But our defense gave up 39 points minimum 3 straight games against South Carolina, Georgia and Arkansas. We simply don’t look like we’re improving and our young players don’t look like they’re making huge leaps. It’s not emotion nor an agenda, we’re not looking like a football team that is improving throughout the year.
