re: Burrow and his impact on recruiting

The reason this guy didn't play at Ohio State is pretty much the same reason we had JJ playing all those years instead of a guy we knew could pass the ball better than he could. JT Barrett won lots of games for them. What's great is that he never complained and always said that he needs to improve his game to overcome that back up role. I have to believe that he didn't just sit there and wait, he prepared himself to be a starter so he will be ready physically, mentally and technique wise. He will need to win over the coaches, the team and learn the offense but once he does that, it's game on.

Everyone I've talked to said that this guy can play the position extremly well. So barring some miricle light switch coming on within the competition from Myles or Narcisse, this guy will be our starter in the fall.

I'm not going to claim he's some QB God or the savior of our team but he bolstered our QB room immediately upon arrival. Whether that be by making the QBs we now have turn their game up or him being able to start. LSU is in a better position now then we were a week ago. That's a fact.

Of course he has to earn it and prove it to everyone but I believe he's very aware of this fact and ready to do so. That's all I think of him. I have no clue how he will perform. I just think he's veteran enough to know what it takes and that's good news for LSU. Period.

GO TIGERS!!!
