The amount Sopsher is discussed on this board is creeping dangerously close to the infamous T. Valentine who I always thought was the biggest overblown and overweight bust to ever come to LSU. I hate the package deal crap with trying to get Ish and his brother - no one player, especially a project like Ish who takes plays off - is worth 2 scholarships. Now that his bro is reclassified to 2020 - i'm sure he's Bama bound which is damn fine by me, sick of these local Louisiana kids playing games - leave if you want to leave your state and home - Ish isn't even in the same class as someone like Devin White who didn't sell out for wins at bama. Here's to another Sopsher thread - in before someone says bitching about Sopsher thread while starting another

TLDR - Sopsher project = T. Valentine project from couple years ago, use the scholarships on someone who wants to rep Louisiana - they'll be a better player in the long haul

Sopsher project
Sohsher is not a project, and if he goes to bama, that is really going to hurt. He may lack motivation but that is far from lacking skills and abilities.

Sopsher is a real person.

I’m not sure Valentine’s actual existence was ever substantiated.

There we go. On a totally free and open to the public message board lets bash players the coaching staff is after. hell yeah man, never having spoken one word to Sopsher lets just bash him and compare him to Valentine.

I'm sure the coaching staff really appreciates your help in recruiting. Idiot !!!

You wouldn’t have used 2 scholarships on Trevor Lawerence, Tua Tagovailoa, Leonard Fournette, Ed Oliver, etc. etc. etc. ???

A lot of kids like him take plays off. He has motivation issues and is lazy. If the staff feels confident they can fix it, I trust them.

I'm leaving MY home state to attend LSU next fall.

Even if we get Rodney he would only use like 1 or 2 years scholarship not 4.

Valentine was way worse because he actually cost us a scholarship just to eat, gain weight and not go to class. At least we can use the scholarship if Ish goes to Saban.

If a player makes his decision based off of posts made by fans on a message board, he’s got issues.

In case you are new here, I have spoken with parents of players who were considering LSU and/or went to other schools.

Dylan Moses piece of shite parents both posted on this board. Kristian Fulton's dad still posts on the Rant today.

Don't think this piece of shite board and the idiots who have infiltrated it from the Rant don't play a part in where players attend college.

Bad comparison. Sopsher is a player and we want him.

Go back and look at accolades that Valentine got....

Athletic. explosive but raw.

Are these not the same things they say about Sopsher?

Really?

He had the same username on Rivals and this board. You really don't know?

I got downvoted to creation in a conversation with the piece of shite. Turned out I was right. But, I didn't feel like I got the last laugh.

I suppose you missed the UA All-American bowl and practices. Ish showed his inabilities plain and simple. There's a good reason he droped from 5 star status to 4 star in a lot of people's eyes. He has no technique. Couldn't get off blocks, couldn't get pressure in the backfield, just no technique at all. You can't over power players at the next level. This basically makes him a project. If he cannot learn and master techniques at the next level he will not be a great player. He is a project. If he had these techniques now, he wouldn't be. There's a lot of players at his position in HS that have shown they have techniques.

I agree! It's time to slam the door shut on some stud DL because I'm tired of reading about Sopsher. We just need some real beasts to wreak havoc on opposing teams for years to come!

Yeah, really, he doesn’t know. He plainly said so in his text. I don’t know either, jackass.
