But that's not what this argument is about. It's about talent development. My contention is that there is an insignificant difference in talent development between, for example, Ole Miss and LSU. They are going to lift weights at both programs and, contrary to what some on here think, they're not going to be taught any better at LSU to "not take bad 'angels'


Exactly. Talent matters. Plus NFL coaches think they can correct any flaws in technique or developement anyway.

I see what you are saying, but to discredit Chavis' ability to develop players is foolish.


It's not discrediting it, he does a great job, but so do a lot of other coaches. Talent is still the most important factor. One thing Chavis may be better at is evaluating the talent. 3* and 5* are just rankings, not facts. So maybe Chavis just spots them early. We did offer and get a committment from Tre White a year ago when he was a 4*, now he is a 5*.

About one third of the first round draft choices were three star athletes. Off the top of my head, the only one I can name was Mo (I'm sure there were others I just can't think of them). And Mo was simply underrated.


Chavis has been at LSU since 2009. We've had 3 defensive players taken in the first round: Peterson a 5* top 20 recruit, Brockers was a 4* and Claiborne a 3*.

Of this year's guys. Montgomery, Mingo and Minter were all 4*'s. So were Ried and Simon and Mathieu. Logan was a 3*
