Recruiting Update: As the World Turns...

You take the good, you take the bad, you take ‘em both and there you have...recruiting.

LSU received some unexpected bad news on the 2019 recruiting cycle Sunday night when five-star tailback John Emery Jr. committed to Georgia following a visit to Athens for a major recruiting event.

Emery, the No. 2 back in the 247 Sports composite, and the next back on the Tigers’ board after commit Tyrion Davis, had long been rumored to be looking out of state — a month ago, rumors had him strongly linked to Mississippi State, where Joe Moorhead was selling the “next Saquon Barkley” line.
