What do you expect us to say? How do all of the schools that lost recruits to LSU feel? How does Oregon feel about losing to Auburn and owning zero crystal balls?

I can't imagine him being successful in a Pro-style offense. When we tried the Spread, we sucked at it, so I don't really think he would have been a fit here. Pretty much, Oregon runs the perfect offense that really suites him to a T.

It's too bad that he didn't come to LSU. He would have made a fine wideout here.

See Russell Sheppard...

Les Miles had the pledges of both Darron Thomas and D.C. Jefferson that same year. He could've had 3 4-star QB's. Both Darron and D.C. Jefferson jumped ship after Jordan Jefferson committed. D.C. didn't want competition and Darron knew Jordan Jefferson was a better pro style QB at the time. He probably also felt threatened by the fact that Jordan was a hometown kid. Darron fits a system like Oregon, Auburn, or Florida better than LSU. He may have been a square peg in a round hole in LSU's offense. To me, Darron is a version of Russell Shepard with less highlight reels back in high school. Masoli is also an example of the type of system Oregon runs. Just because he does well at one school does not mean his skill set will transfer well to another.

Thomas wouldn't have been anymore productive at LSU than JJ has, so no big loss.

Seems like he's clone of Russel Shepard who can probably throw better TBH

Difficult to say.
1) 2008 was a weird year for us. We had DT, JJ, and a third QB named DC Jefferson who ended up going to Rutgers. I'm pretty sure that guy got converted to TE.
2) Obviously, we had 3 QBs committed, and in the end, only JJ showed up on campus.
3) It is difficult to say whether JJ's lack of progression was due to his QB coach and the offensive system (Crowton) or whether it is due to JJ's lack of mental ability to process the game.
4) If JJ is a product (or victim) of Crowton's system....I'm not sure Darron Thomas would have had any more success.
It seems like Darron is a great fit for Oregon. But he's not a great QB.
5) I believe there was a chance we would have turned DT into a WR. So there is no guarantee he would still be a QB had he chosen LSU.

Dont really care honestly, product of Kelly's offense.
I doubt hed thrive as QB on any SEC team, outside of being with Malzahn at Auburn.

How do you feel anything about losing something you never had?
Posted on 5/15/11 at 2:30 pm to DucksflyinPAC
Watching that link again makes me wonder. Did Bob Jones have a relationship with Lyles? Seems Thomas didn't know anything about Oregon until Jones started talking them up to him.

Not as bad as signing Perrilloux and losing Colt McCoy to Texas.

LSU does not have feelings.

Would not have played QB here. As Russell Shepp didn't
