LSU Bookie News August 31 – In Need of Wide Receiver
The LSU Tigers are expected to be very good this year with around the 7th shortest odds of winning the NCAA College Football Championship game at 22/1. The one area of concern: Wide receiver.
From NOLA:
LSU was hoping to sign five wide receivers, with some in the office even wanting to add six, as they try to rebuild a depleted group of wide receivers. Over the past couple of recruiting cycles, LSU has signed smaller receiver classes, while absorbing a plethora of transfers during that span. Many expect redshirt junior D.J. Chark to test the NFL Draft waters following this season, putting them in dire straights to find the stars of tomorrow to assist the development of its young quarterbacks.
As it stands now, LSU has two commitments at the position in Berwick's Kenan Jones and Tara's Jaray Jenkins. Both prospects appear firm in their commitments, allowing LSU to divert most of its attention on the remaining names. As you will soon find out, there are still a lot of possibilities on the board.
LSU takes on BYU as a -15.5 favorite in Week 1.
