Patterson is listed as a prostyle QB....he ran a 4.63 today. I'd prefer a pass first QB with wheels anyday I think that gives him such a higher ceiling. It's going to be fun these next 2 years seeing how this plays out!


That's both of them plus McMillan, plus Harris and Jennings. If you watch both of their tapes, Patterson runs much more than Franks, and Franks ran about 3 times in his whole video.

I want both but Franks arm strength, height, and mobility makes him much more impressive from a physical standpoint. Either wouldn't start until 2017-18 anyway so developing things like throwing motion over the next 3-4 years is a lot easier than growing four inches and turning a good arm into a cannon.

These guys still have junior and senior years to improve before they even step on campus.

Outside of Drake Davis, he is the recruit I'm most excited about for 2016.

ETA: If we happen to get both, does it matter if one decides to leave after a year or so? If we don't get both of them, we will still take another instate QB for 2016.

Seems to me that both these kids want to learn under Cam. Hard to believe LSU has a chance at landing two top 100 kids in the same class, much less two of the top pro style and dual threat qbs. I think they realize the opportunity at LSU under Cam to work with him and a pro style offense.

Drake Davis could be top 10 overall in country.

I agree with this. Generally, I'm not a fan of taking more than one QB in a class because, paradoxically, more often than not it leads to depth problems down the road, but in our current situation, we need the bodies. I don't know if Franks will stay--hope he does--if Patterson commits, but if doesn't we will continue recruiting.
