Less than a month ago, LSU entered its game against Texas A&M with a chance to claim the top spot in the SEC but, a second half disaster cost LSU the game. The Tigers then faced Alabama in a game that was even worse than the loss to Texas A&M as 300 recruits including Bryce Underwood were on the sidelines as the Tide ran away with the game. This past weekend felt like a new level of rock bottom as Brian Kelly lost to Billy Napier but, the biggest disaster comes as Bryce Underwood flips to Michigan just two weeks from Signing Day.
Like a bad Hurricane season, it has been disaster after disaster for LSU this year as the Tigers have officially reached rock bottom of the Brian Kelly era.
The play on the field was bad but, you kept looking forward to the prospects of getting one of the best signing classes in the Nation to Baton Rouge. Now as Bryce Underwood exits the class and as other players are expected to leave this is the official rock bottom.
Brian Kelly and his staff now have two weeks to regroup and figure out how to keep this recruiting class intact before the Tigers mess gets even worse.
The Tigers have seen top recruits like Bryce Underwood, Dakorien Moore, Devin Miller, and Jaboree Antoine this cycle. Kelly and his staff will have a ton of evaluating to do as this class started off well but, the Tigers now are on pace to lose a massive chunk of this recruiting class.
The changes fans have been asking for may come now
As LSU has suffered loss after loss, members of the fanbase have asked for changes to be made with coaches like Joe Sloan and Cortez Hankton. As Sloan loses the Nation's top quarterback and Hankton is on the verge of losing his top recruits again, the Co-Offensive Coordinators may not be able to recruit their way out of the bad season they've had on offense.
