re: Is LSU going away from the white athlete ?

That is a good read and very similar to my earlier post.

I DO think there is a stereotype against white kids playing skilled positions, on a national level, not just LSU. There are plenty of good ones out there and more should probably be given the opportunities. But once again, look at what guys like Warren Moon, Doug Williams, etc. were able to do against the black QB stereotype. My message to the white football player is to step up your game and make it to where the coaches HAVE to notice you.

Hopefully somebody like Jacob Hester's success will help the white kids in our area. The Quinn kid, 2014 WR at Barbe will be an interesting one to watch. You watch his film and you see him making big plays against white and black kids from Evangel, West Monroe, etc. I still think that if you make plays, the coaches will find you.

I think LSU's staff has done a great job with recruiting and I don't really pay attention to the skin color of our recruits. As long as they give us a chance to win, go to class, and represent my Alma Mater well on AND off the field, then I could care less what color they are.
