re: Big Picture Issue with LSU Recruiting

So was Rettig

Where is he now, and why?

Yes they were.

So was Rettig. We also had Mett for 2 years before that who was very sought after. Jarrett Lee was an Elite 11 QB. Hell, even Jordan Jefferson was a 4* guy.

Before that we had Ryan Perrilloux, the #1 QB in the country. Before that we had 4* Matt Flynn and Jamarcus Russell.

We have Feleipe Franks committed who is very sought after and Shea Patterson in state who we are putting a full court press on for.

So in summary, you have no idea what you're talking about. We recruit highly regarding high school QBs, but have just done a poor job developing them or keeping them on campus.

So all of these highly sought after qb's were great in high school but turn to mediocre when they get to LSU? You got a theory on that one?

Everyone knows Jennings is average or below. Not just the rant says this but all the national commentators too. And yet Rettig leaves without getting in a game and Harris sits the bench. Jarrett Lee is benched after playing quite well his senior year because he throws two interceptions in the Alabama game.

The greatest qb's in the game have all thrown two interceptions in a game. They were not benched the rest of their career.

Mett we got because he was damaged goods and came out of JC. If you remember he signed with Georgia originally.

So how did Mett develop if we do such a poor job? Could it be he had more talent than the rest of these guys put together? What does that say about recruiting when the best qb we have in eight years is someone else's castoff?
