By your logic, LSU could sign nothing but guys outside the top 300 and crank out NFL players.


Not necessarily. I'm not entirely giving the coaching staff credit, as I've conceded that players themselves are definitely a factor, but I really think more of it falls upon the coaching staff to develop a player's skill set and get him to the NFL.

Look at our inability to develop QBs over the past few years (post 2007). Many people blame JJ's misgivings simply on his own abilities; I honestly think he had the tools to be a good QB, however, he was not giving adequate coaching and he was the subject of constant ridicule. The same goes for JL, and even Mett (who has more natural ability than both of them).

QB is a little different because it is a more complicated position. But there are examples of coaches than have had good and bad QBs.

Take Texas for example. Same coach and OC had Applewhite, Simms, Young, McCoy and Gilbert. Why did VY and McCoy do so much better?

Look at it this way. Do all the players LSU sign come from top HS like WM, Curtis etc? Clearly some HS have better coaching, facilities, training etc. But I'm sure we've signed players, highly ranked players even that came from lesser HS programs.
