LOOK: 4-Star WR Drelon Miller on LSU Visit Alongside Colin Hurley

Miller has the Tigers among his finalists, Hurley made it to town to help the recruiting efforts.

LSU is in the midst of a monster month on the recruiting trail, and with another big weekend of visitors in Baton Rouge, the list was headlined by four-star wide receiver Drelon Miller.

Miller, one of the top wideouts in America, made his way to town where he was accompanied by four-star quarterback commit Colin Hurley.

Hurley made the trek in from Florida to help the Tigers’ recruiting efforts for one of the top prospects on their wish list. For Miller, he’ll make his decision later this month with the Tigers among his finalists.

LSU will battle it out against a number of SEC programs including Georgia, Tennessee and Florida along with USC and Miami, among others.

Brian Kelly and Co. got Miller down South to take in the scenes of Baton Rouge, and with Hurley making it a point to get in on the action, it benefitted this program significantly.

LSU and USC are the two programs looking to separate themselves from the pack over the next few weeks, but with June 29 locked in as the commitment date, the Tigers are going to keep their foot on the gas.

Brian Kelly’s Recruiting Message:

“We’re going to identify the best prospects throughout the country and you’ll see that in this signing class. We’ll have players from the northeast, the midwest, the west coast. But our base will be Louisiana and the south,” Kelly said. “When you’re LSU and you have a brand that’s so recognizable, you can’t have blinders on either. Our scope and vision is national but it’s not like we’re pulling four guys out of every state. We’re gonna have a heavy influence in the state of Louisiana, like we should.”

“I think within a calendar year we could be looking to turn over 70 scholarships,” Kelly said. “I certainly don’t think it’s going to be in the mid to high 30s [as the norm]. I think that’s outside the lines. I do believe the high 20s is going to be the norm. I remember years where it was 18, I think those days are over.”

“You don’t want to jump every year into the transfer portal when it comes to the cornerback position. We did this year because there was such a need to put together a representative group. I think there’s gonna be a heavy influence on freshmen and that’s the way we want to build,” Kelly said. “Does that mean we won’t look at transfers? No, it doesn’t mean we’ll close the door on that, but last year they were one year and done. We’re not looking in that respect. Corners would have to have more than one season of competition left if we go that route.”
