This thread is retarded...the best player gets the offer, regardless of skin color. So black people get tons more offers at major programs...shocking. Especially at skill positions. How many white CBs do you see in the NFL?

I think the last one I can remember was Jason Seahorn and that seems like over a decade ago...

I heard we're moving to all-black skill positions and white QBs, Guards, FBs, and MLBs

It's not about race genius. Miles is recruiting the best possible athlete. There's only 3 positions on a football field that white guys are most of the time better at. QB- We have more white than black QB's. P/K- See QB. O-line- I would say the races are awfully close in this department.

What a racist fricking thread. Jesus.

I couldnt give a shite what color our players are. Or what their name is.

Can they play? Do they work hard? That's what I care about.

With all due respect...

You don't do yourself or your school well by this post.

I honestly hope you're a troll.

This question is like asking if Major League Baseball is going away from the African-American athlete, since the percentage of US-born black players has been in steep decline. LSU and MLB are going to take the best athletes available to them.

Great athletes have choices about which sports they play. Why, despite the fact that it is a ubiquitous youth sport, does the U.S. not have a dominant national soccer team? It's simple. Our best athletes choose to play other sports.

Basically, more and more black kids are concentrating on football and basketball. Baseball is becoming more white (and hispanic). Hockey has been and still is mostly white. Nascar, swimming, lacrosse, etc.

If you are a sociologist analyzing cultural trends, then you get a pass. Otherwise, I would have to guess that you're a somewhat racist guy who feels sad that there aren't more white players on your football team. I feel sorry for you.

The white athletes have actually conspired against LSU. They have teamed up and decided not to go to LSU. Slowly, they are migrating to places like Wisconsin, Michigan, North Dakota and Idaho.

The assimilation of african americans into present day US athletic competition is peaking. As tigerfan63 has now so observantly pointed out to us, miles has joined this bandwagon and abandoned his mid 70's michigan o-line dogmas of the past. He is now set out do one thing and one thing only LINK

That's a fair question...I was a minority on my HS track team...don't consider this racist; but a healthy discussion. I would get asked the question why don't they have more starting black QB's in the NFL or in general?? I understood the concern... Did they pass the "eye test"? No that's just a white position? Also with the new Rooney-rule giving more black coaches opportunities.

Should there then be a "Sehorn Rule" if the NFL is so concerned with diversity?? Eric Weddle(shut down Mega-tron in Bowl) could easily be a starting CB yet moved to safety...Steve Gregory, Chris Conte, Chris Prosinski, Jim Leonhard can all play CB...But instead have been converted to Safety.

It is just now begining to swing the other side...it starts with all the Recruiting Services...i it because these experts feel skill white players simply don't pass the "eye test"; that blacks battle at QB?? Perception?? According to the experts at Rivals the Louisiana HS Top 40 in 2012 has NOT ONE single white player! Check it out! Are whites simply playing more baseball; soccer; rugby; LaCrosse; MotorCross?

Why is RB-Danny Woodhead(better than Joe McKnight) said to resemble the "team trainer" in the airport?? Yet Kevin Faulk(only 5'-8" too) was never mentioned this way in his younger days?? WHY? preception..the white boy should not be pigeon-holed to always be the QB or O-Lineman....

WHY is Heisman Runner-up Toby Gerhart continued to be labeled a "Fullback" at Indy Combine...faster 40 time 4.53 to 4.58 than Dexter McCluster...yet power-backs Anthony Dixon; LaGarrete Blount; Charles Scott; Jonathan Dwyer never a breath about Fullback with much slower times?? Perception!

Peyton Hillis is scr*w*d by his former coach Emenim McDaniel w/ Broncos ...Rated by the "Experts" as NFL Best Back-up "Fullback"...yet becomes the first white NFL RB 1,000 yard + season in 25 years for the Browns! OPPORTUNITY! Maybe he & Woodhead are changing this perception finally?? Heck anyone still remember his 65 yard TD jaunt vs BCS Champ LSU in 07??

While at LSU...I'd hear DWF's (drunk white fans) ticked at Hester being stuffed at line; them saying "put whitey on the bench"...

DE Jordan Allen barely arrived on campus and many were wondering when he would move to O-Line w/o even giving him a chance..Will Blackwell is athletic enough to play D-Line...if he where at Nebraska or Wisconsin he would be.

No doubt...Louisiana is truly blessed with some tremendous black athlete's; and they love some football!...but those here that are labeled "Racist" might just like to sprinkle a little salt w/ the pepper...even if that means ONLY 2 white starters on Def(Steltz or Kyle Williams)wanting to start 11 would be....But ZERO white starters on LSU D for the 2nd year in a row??

Jacob Cutrera was the last white (co)starter on defense...was the teams "lightning rod" for some fans vs Bama & Ole Miss despite leading the team in tackles.

BTW I'm not a racist...my best man(from Jamaica played college football at Southern..and I voted for Mayor Kip Holden.
