This was always my question. There is nothing high profile that I know about, and I don't want to speak out of turn about the kid - but every JUCO has some question - in my mind - and I say that with the highest regard for Mett and, for example, Kenny Hollis - we've had pretty good luck with JUCO players over the years - character wise.
But, between incidents involving Jefferson, Mathieu, Hill, Brazil, Holmes (and I'm sure there are others), and that's just over the past 2-3 years - the staff is looking at mitigating some of this - none of these incidents were catastrophic, and I'm not even saying they're bad kids, necessarily, merely by their involvement in these incidents.
And it's not that you don't take Jeremy Hill (or heck, LF, HYPOTHETICALLY - if there were "questions") - and we took a chance on Mett, for example, but you don't take 4 or 5 of them in a class - too much risk.

my mindset is as follows:
it's high fricking time that all fans understand that when they do not understand things going on in recruiting, trust this staff!! They know things you NEVER will! They have proven themselves great at this and getting many quality young men like Hilliard, who when times are tough, make good decisions.

quote:I'm not sure how you define catastrophic, but I think LSU competes for the BCS title last year if Tyrann is still on the team. Of course, for him to be on the team you'd have to still take the chance to recruit him. All in all, it was a black eye (some wrongfully painted in the press), but I think the staff would not pass on Tyrann if the situation came up again. They may just change how harshly they deal with the behavior/drug issues.
