Apparently, he liked Leonard Fournette a lot at linebacker.



What coach are you referring too here? Not Saban I hope. Because LF7 would have played RB had he went to Bama!

The TM7 argument illustrates O's short comings that bore fruit here at LSU. That camp had some of the best WR in the country at it and TM7 was shutting everyone of them down except JL80, which it seem was about 50/50. The only WR that wanted to go up against TM7 was Jarvis. O's stance was he wasn't prototypical size for a CB. Huh??? dude is wrecking everyone at the camp, but you say he's too small. No wonder Jordan Allen didn't get an offer until the new staff go here. So yes he was an idiot.

O is a phenomenal recruiter. He’s not a phenomenal evaluator of talent apparently.

Just because he ended up failing miserably at LSU the last couple years doesn’t mean what he did before then didn’t happen.

O has a 30 year track record of recruiting and talent evaluation that were great. He got TM7 wrong and probably got a lot more wrong over those 30 years but he was right more often.

Almost all coaches were idiots when it came to Tyrann. Not one other Power 5 conference team offered him. Frank Wilson had a lot to do with his LSU offer once LSU hired him away from Tennessee. All the great recruiters passed on TM due to his size. Lane Kiffin passed even though he saw him up close and personal too. And Tyrann desperately wanted to go to Tennessee because of Frank, but Lane and co. passed.
