LSU 2026 signing day thoughts and intel

·24 min·2 clips

Richard Anderson, a five-star defensive tackle, woke up and decided to sign with LSU after key conversations with Lane Kiffin.

This episode analyzes LSU football's early signing period under new head coach Lane Kiffin. Host Glenn West, a senior writer for Geaux247, provides immediate recruiting intel and updates. The focus is on the Tigers' initial 10 signees and the ongoing efforts to secure remaining targets. LSU signed four players previously committed to other programs: wide receivers Corey Barber (Ole Miss) and Braden Allen (Oklahoma), offensive lineman Ryan Murray (Ole Miss), and tight end J.C. Anderson (Ole Miss). Five-star defensive tackle Richard Anderson, a longtime LSU commit from Edna Karr, decided to sign after conversations with Kiffin and defensive coordinator Blake Baker. The status of five-star athlete Lamar Brown, the nation's top-ranked athlete, remains the major storyline, with LSU working to secure his signature. Other unsigned players include edge rusher Trenton Henderson and defensive lineman Deuce Geralds, who are deciding by Friday, while safety Dylan Perter flipped his commitment to Florida. A key insight is that many defensive recruits, including Brown, are seeking clarity on the future defensive coaching staff before signing. The signing of four-star cornerback Havon Finney from California is directly tied to the expected retention of coach Corey Raymond. Host Glenn West speculates, based on his reporting, that Lamar Brown ultimately signs with LSU by the Friday deadline. The episode notes that LSU will aggressively pursue multiple quarterbacks via the transfer portal, as they did not flip quarterback target Landon Duckworth from South Carolina. The program is also monitoring wide receiver Jace Matthews, an Auburn commit, as a potential late addition. West reveals that some decommitments from LSU's class were "coaches decisions," where the new staff asked certain players to look elsewhere. He emphasizes that Kiffin's vision is to build a specific offensive scheme fit, leading to roster turnover. The host projects that LSU, given its NIL resources and Kiffin's portal history at Ole Miss, will be very active in the upcoming transfer window to compete quickly. The tone is informational and conversational, blending confirmed news with sourced speculation and real-time updates. The style is that of a detailed insider briefing for dedicated fans. This episode is ideal for LSU fans seeking a thorough, behind-the-scenes look at the new coaching staff's first recruiting moves and the fluid decisions of top prospects. Listeners who prefer only finalized news or broader college football commentary might find the granular, team-specific details less engaging.
