LSU OC Matt Canada met with draft-hopeful juniors Wednesday night
New LSU offensive coordinator Matt Canada is hoping to keep some high-profile juniors around for one more season.
Canada flew to Baton Rouge Wednesday evening to meet with a few players who are considering making an early jump to the NFL, head coach Ed Orgeron stated during his Thursday morning press conference.

O says Canada flew in last night and met with "a couple of" #LSU juniors. He's talked to juniors' families too.
