I mean I’m happy for him. But does he just want to be a walk on/practice squad guy? Surely he could get on at a smaller school and play. I’ll look up his offer list since you want to call me an a-hole
Then be happy for him.. PERIOD.
Obviously you were never recruited so you don't know the game. Let me explain it to you. Some athletes would rather walk on at a larger school than take the smaller school offer. It happens all the time. He is fully aware of what his options were and chose to come to LSU and learn. He will have world class facilities to train in and world class coaches to learn from. Perhaps he wants to be a coach someday? Maybe it's just being able to say "I'm a QB at LSU". Imagine the tang.
You act like LSU just allows anyone to walk on. You do know this isn't true right? You do know that LSU needs QB's on the roster to throw drills and such? I mean, this could go on forever. But trust me, he knows exactly the situation.
I got a full scholarship to a smaller school. If I could have afforded to, I would have killed to walk on at a premier program to be near those level of athletes and coaches.

I said " I mean I am happy for you". I won't apologize for having an opinion after the fact.

You're right I wasn't. But I haven't felt the need to discuss who I know in the East Texas region. And then you want to throw out that you were recruited to be the internet badass of the night.

And obviously you’re either a Gordon shill or just naive to the situation. This is a classic “I’m on the team because of who my dad is” and that’s fine doesn’t bother me one bit. Im sure he will be very serviceable practice QB. Just don’t act like LSU chose him out of the many other better prospects and more deserving QBs out there who aren’t getting a serious look from programs. Adding to the you don’t know the game statement, it’s way too early in the recruiting process to be giving walk on opportunities to QBs.
