re: LSU's Biggest Bust... Russell Shepherd?

Please, if you are goin to start a fairly negative thread about a player spell his name right. If you aren't sure, look it up.


I don't think he's been a bust. He was a running QB that wasn't going to be successful at that position in the SEC. He needs coaching at the WR spot, but when he gets the ball in open space, he is elusive and can make a big play.

We recruited him as a number 1 QB coming out of highschool, I am willing to bet if you put some of the other running QBs in CFB right now at WR, they aren't going to be lighting it up either. He has been a good leader and an excellent representative for LSU with his personality and his ability to help recruiting with the class he came in with. That class over 4 years is 40-9 with a good chance to finsih out at 44-9 and 4 of those losses came when they were freshmen. Outstanding class and he was a big part of it.


IMO, not a bust, just a different type of success for the program.
