I know his daddy and his mother. Athletes on both side of the family. His daddy was a very good wrestler and his mother had bothers and cousins that could have played college ball easily.

jrvente, let me be clear. I'm not saying Riley is not a good player.

I am not saying he is not productive.

I am not saying he is not talented.

I am not saying he does not have the potential to play on an SEC Field.

I am not-nor will I ever-debate about whether a kid should be a three, four or five star player. That's a totall subjective discussion that makes zero sense in worrying about or spending your time talking about.

What I am saying is that Riley is going to get caught up in a numbers game at LSU that will prevent him from seeing the field. There are simply more talented, more experienced players ahead of him.

I've asked you already to explain what the HS landscape looks like in-state for 2014, as well as perhaps give me some background on other LSU targets in our recruiting area. You haven't done that.

I've rebutted your discussion points by talking about the depth chart in detail, and then deconstructing the myth regarding his technique as it relates to early playing time.

Do you have an actual point to make in repsonse to me, or are you just going to repeat this talk about a one dollar bet?

You seem like a guy who is heavy on substance, but I'm trying to give you a different perspective that's also heavy on substance. Its a perspective you may not like. But why not explain to me why you think differently?

The problem with that is that other school is probably Ole Miss. In 2-3 years when this kid is a tackling machine for the Rebels people are going to be asking why the hell LSU didn't take this kid. Of course we could bump this thread and point out he went to JC and that means he's reached physical peak in high school blah blah blah.
