LSU has made a bold move by adding junior college transfer offensive tackle Adrian Lamb to their roster. This strategic move is part of a larger revamp of the offensive line room under the leadership of new head coach Lane Kiffin and his staff. But here's where it gets interesting: despite the coaching change from Brian Kelly to Kiffin, LSU managed to retain the majority of its recruiting class and even added a few late additions.
Adrian Lamb, a 6-foot-5, 295-pound graduate, chose the Tigers over SEC rivals Alabama, Auburn, and South Carolina. His addition is the latest in a series of significant moves by LSU, which has signed six offensive linemen from the NCAA Transfer Portal this month, including former Colorado All-American Jordan Seaton, Ole Miss' Devin Harper, Maryland's Aliou Bah, Baylor's Sean Thompkins, Kentucky's Darrin Strey, Tennessee's William Satterwhite, and North Carolina Central's Ja'Quon Sprinkle. Additionally, they added JUCO signee JaKolby Jones and four-star offensive tackle Brysten Martinez in the early December signing period.
The Tigers' recruiting class is looking particularly strong, with three signees - defensive lineman Lamar Brown, wide receiver Corey Barber, and defensive lineman Richard Anderson - all finishing ranked as five-stars by Rivals. In total, Kiffin and his team finished with five top-100 signees and 12 blue-chippers. Despite the coaching change, LSU is poised to finish with the No. 12 class in the country, along with the No. 2 class in the On3 Industry Transfer Portal Rankings.
But this is where it gets controversial: while some may argue that the Tigers' recruiting class is already strong, others may question the impact of the coaching change on the team's performance.
