so why are you talking about him bulking up from 207 to 230?
I say leave him tf alone. Line him up in a tight slot or motion him around to get matchups if you like, but you dont need him to block and for God sakes dont make him gain 20lbs and lose all of that juice.
Let the receiver depth chart shake out, see what happens with AG, then decide. Why is this so preposterous?

Dude his body isn’t going to be messed with. He’s entering a college weight program and he has a very big frame to work with. He’s easily going to gain 15 pounds probably before fall.
You just don’t know what you’re talking about at all.
Look at the many receiving tight ends that are thriving in the NFL and what their roles are. That’s what they want out of Bech. It’s better to have him training at TE now rather than keep him at WR then he naturally gets too big as he gets older and has to make a transition later in his career.

Jenkins

Deion Smith. Jenkins or Kirklin may have more catches, but Smith will have the biggest impact.
Hard to tell at this point which of Smith, Thomas, and Hilton have the alpha dog mentality and skills to contribute right away. I’m giving Smith the edge because his body type looks like Terrace Marshall and he was an early enrollee.

He's not 207, again listen to interviews with him, he's in the 215-220 range easily right now. Adding 10-15 to that is absolutely nothing in a college S&C program.
Posted on 5/25/21 at 10:45 am to thunderbird1100
He said he was 216 in a signing day interview with Jordy. That was in December

LOL, There isnt a receiver on LSU's roster that's gained 15 lbs since arriving on campus. Yall act like this is the 90's and these kids arent already coming in with NFL bodies.
He is not long and is already very bulky and muscular for a HS skill position player. If LSU lists him at 207 as a flex, than he's probably nowhere near 220, and would need to be around 230+ to be effective as a TE/Flex. I'm nervous as hell he'll lose his amazing explosiveness at that weight if he doesn't get much taller.
Again, for the 10th time, there's zero need to move him to TE or flex if we get AG back and have JJ coming in next year. You only do it if he hits camp and clearly cant run with the other WR's or his body naturally rounds out to a TE. LSU needs to put all of their WRs on the field and figure out what 5 can play, until those questions are answered, you dont need to experiment. Even if the staff were desperate for a Flex that could help them this year, why Bech and not Devonta Lee or Jalen Shead?
Look, you have your opinion about it and I have mine - but lets not pretend that LSU has some grave need at TE with Gilbert back.

This just goes to show that once again you don’t know what you’re talking about.

Yeah because they weren’t being molded into tight ends. Go look at how much weight Stephen Sullivan gained at LSU. And he wasn’t anywhere near the athlete Bech is.

Arik is no guarantee in any sense.

Why is Bech a better TE prospect than Devonta Lee? I'm dying to hear this.
this kid was Bech's weight on a 6'5+" frame as a freshman. You are literally making my point. And, by the way, he was an absolute shite show at TE! They even tried to make him a DE in Seattle. That experiment was a disaster, as was Lee to Linebacker, Stevens to WR, and most other position moves if we are being honest.
The mirror beckons you, friend.

Arik or Bech, you can bet the house these 2 will be gamers this season watch

Gilbert may not even be eligible immediately. They have to work other guys there.
Posted on 5/25/21 at 12:31 pm to Vacherie Saint
My point was that WRs have gained weight. Sullivan was a dramatic example because they wanted him to play TE because he got so big.
A better example of a WR bulking up a lot would by Jontre Kirklin.
Completely different guys physically. Devonta Lee is more of a RB than he is a WR. Bech looks to be an all around better athlete.
And they tried putting Lee at LB like he played in HS because he isn’t a great WR either. Which is also why Bech would be better.
Stevens was never an elite athlete. He should’ve been permanently moved to LB when he got too big.
We’ll let it play out. Bech’s best bet is to move into a receiving tight end role in my opinion. If he stays as a WR and can somehow play with the logjam of WRs we have, then that would be incredible.
Agree to disagree. Sorry if I came off as a jackass I’m battling a stomach virus right now.

He looked a lot better than Gilbert. Gilbert looked lost unless he was in a pass route. He cost us a long TD in one of our early losses when he was supposed to block for a WR screen, but he decided not to.
