Yall are looking at it from a small sample size. Since 1964, St Aug has had 34 players go on to play in the NFL. Trai Turner will be 35. Thats ridiculous. Thats more than an NFL player every other year. 0.7 NFL players per year is what it comes out to. A decent ratio for some colleges, amazing for a high school. In 2004, they had the 2nd most active players in the NFL out of every high school in the country.

I have no idea who else they have coming out in the next few years besides Morgan and Lanard. But I guarantee you they have some young players that become legit college prospects. They always do. St Aug isnt a school that has 1 or 2 prospects every few years. They have multiple guys every single year. Its a legit D1 feeder school for all athletics, not just football.

Fact is, St. Aug is 1 of the few schools in the state that consistently sends out D1 talent year in year out. Each year, they have legit prospects and have multiple D1 players. You can only say that about a handful of high schools in the state.

Current St Aug players will be more influenced by this:



And this:



Than this:



Also, I don't think it was Noel Ellis Sr. that was acting like a small child on the internet, but an uncle. Based on the way Noel Jr. behaved during his recruit (all class), I think the dad is probably a solid guy (my opinion only).

So a head coach that has a background with Alabama goes out and hires the father of a recruit that LSU didnt offer and went with TAMU, and has been very public with his feelings toward LSU since then. Makes me cringe. Coaches are supposed to be there to help guide these recruits to the next level. They arent supposed to be biased towards certain schools. Sounds like Crutchfield has actually done a good job at being unbiased and letting the recruit make the decision on their own, but I have a hard time believing that Noel Ellis Sr will be able to be unbiased.


I'm gonna be honest, I this that crutchfield gets a bad rep around here for no reason.. sure, his step son went to Bama, but I've known crutch for a long time and grew up playing against the teams he's coached.. he has a lot of respect for LSU.. I talked to brad and Cyril a few weeks ago and he always speaks highly of LSU and les miles


I just wish that people would remember that LSU isn't always the best option for these KIDS (for whatever reason) and if they and their parents feel that way, you really can't fault them
