I don't care where Rivals ranks him, he's not the #65 player in the country. Is he good? Yes. I think he's a guy that can be very good in college because of his natural instincts and just feel for the game. He also is a good athlete. He's just not an elite prospect. Simple as that. Many kids in LA this year are much better "measured" athletes and talents. Same could have been said about Jarvis Landry. Some kids are just not able to be measured in terms of their talent. I'd love to have Diarse at LSU and will keep hope that he ends up here but I'm just not one of those people that thinks he's a must have. He's not. He is what he is. The ceiling for him is low.

People that have seen him think he's closer to a high 4.5 or 4.6 speed guy. Not fast but fast enough.

My reasoning for liking him more at wr is because he is just so good with the ball. Very similar to Landry in that way as well. I for one think Landry could be a very good S but his hands and natural receiving skills are what make him special. Diarse's special skills are his vision and ability to pile up yardage with the ball. He's just got a knack that's unexplainable as to how he does it. Most schools like him more at S and imo the reasoning is because of his size,lack of top speed and his instincts for the game. Easier to project as a S than wr.

He sort of reminds me of Robert Lester.

You dont understand how some get worked up for him? You are an idiot, Anyone bashing this kid or anyone thinking this kid is not a top 3 player in the state is a dumbass. He has won 2 state championships in 3 years.He is a leader, a great kid, and comes from a great family. He will be a stud in the SEC. Quit trying to downplay him cause he has not committed to LSU.

Jordan efferson won state titles as well. If that's how you measure talent then we would have a roster filled with 5'8 guys that are at Div 2 schools. You have me so figured out.

Hes not rank rival 65 for nothing You people on here keep doubting him and slamming him and he will be at bama Moms told me several times lsu people are unrelenting when they talk to john....many go overboard That will turn away a lot of kids..no one wants to hear this Ive said this before he loves lsu the school/program but loves saban the coach And his parents want to stay instate but its his choice

Yes, because Rivals has been so accurate.

Look I think he is a great player and maybe the best player in the state, but I do not compare him to the talent that Collins was. They are Not even close to being similar athletically. Collins was a five star talent. Diarse is a top 100 guy. What's wrong with saying he is one of the 100 best players in country? If that insults him given the number of HS in LA alone then... Bye.

Having seen him play and knowing the kid and his family personally, he is a wounderful young man and a very talented player. I would love to have a player that I could put anywhere on the field and have him make a difference. Not to mention he's making a difference all over the field in LA's second highest classification as well as playing against 5-A schools. It's hard to excell at one position when you're counted on to play multiple ones. So I don't see how you can lable him as elite or not b/c he's all over the place. Then again maybe you can lable him as elite b/c he's a difference maker no matter where he plays. What should be obvious is that he is one hell of a player with a very high football IQ. He's played for 3 years and has helped lead his team to 2 state titles. As an LSU fan I would hate to see him leave and I will give him a hard time if it happens. With that said I have told both he and his dad to enjoy the whole process and go where he feels is the best fit for him. One thing I know for sure is hammering the kid damn sure won't help land him so I feel it's best to ride it out and see what happens. I like how some on this post don't want him or say we should recruit someone else. This is ur I told you so if we don't get him but you will love him if we do. Those saying this are probably the ones that got ur heart broke by a girl you dated for years and then when you got dumped you told everyone she was ugly anyway.

Nah, once you get burned, you learn not to trust the things these kids say. Sure, he may be a good kid in front of you and everyone else in Monroe, but with all this attention he'll be pulled 100 different ways and will be telling people what they want to hear.

After the Collins and Davis fiasco this past cycle, I no longer trust any of these kids and what they say to the media. ESPECIALLY the ones that want to "go through the process."

I'm not sure what point you Monroe "I've seen him play and know him and his family personally" posters are trying to make here.

Knee-jerk posters on any message board are a dime a dozen. Are you asking for a cease and desist of human nature? Of course you are going to find derogatory comments on an LSU message board about a potential recruit who posts his cheering for LSU's division rival and opponent in the national championship game on a world wide website.

But, no, I think it's more laying the foundation for an excuse. North LA has been very good to LSU for a long time, and I'm sure there's many that feel the need to come up with BS excuses. No different than the championship game rumors of team in turmoil, staff at odds, etc. Anything but we just got beat.

He doesn't need an excuse to go to Alabama. Don't come on here telling anyone that this young man went to Alabama because his home state backlash forced him there. You're insulting the player and his family.

Alabama is no different than LA when it comes to matters of dealing with highly recruited players leaving the state. If anything, Alabama is worse, because they don't even have to leave the state to be hated, they just have to go to Auburn.

It has nothing to do with wanting the kid built up, he can do or undo that on his own. I just don't like the fact people go negitive toward a kid they know anything about. I understand being upset about his pulling for Bama but that isn't the end of the world. If he was so against LSU he would've committed after he was offered by Bama. He may still go there but who knows. One thing I do know from past post on here is that he apparently reads some of them and I would hate to lose what shot we have at getting him b/c people were on his arse during his recruitment. So he pulled for Bama, you think everyone of the top guys we signed were always seen around town with LSU gear on? I'm sure some of the ones that wore LSU gear signed elsewhere. Kids don't always pick their favorite, they go to the place they see as the best fit. If that is the team they pull for then so be it.

His ego doesnt need to be built up, he's pretty good. I hope LSU gets him regardless of what the arm chair recruiting "experts" say about about him on here.

I wished he wouldnt have made those tweets. I personally think he was fricking with his classmates, but these kids need to realize that some creepy adults have nothing better to do than to hinge on their every word.

I don't get why people keep saying we're bashing him. FFS, saying he is not as good as Collins isn't a insult. Collins was a ridiculous athlete. Is being a top 100 player in the entire country considered a insult? Kid needs to check his ego if it is.

Pretty sure everyone wants him at LSU but he has given no info to be optimistic about...

No one has said anything negative about him. I've seen "he's not elite" and "he's closer to his ceiling than some other players". The Neville fans take those as insults and always rush in to sing his praises and say shite like "this is why he's going to go to Bama".

People get their panties in a wad when their hometown kid isn't said to be the next big thing

Kid wants to go to Bama let him go. Would not upset me in the slightest. I want kids who want and appreciate the chance to play for the great institution that is LSU and play under Coach Miles.
I want the best players who will sign with LSU on signing day. If a worthwhile in-state kid wants to go to Bama right now, I want the coaches to bust their asses convincing him to come back over to the good guys by then. None of this "Let them leave if they want to" nonsense. Work hard and get the best players, period. Not everybody bleeds P&G. Some kids just require more attention and effort than others.

lsu can't do anything about it. it's their background/up bringing.

check out the cats who've handled themselves in that way, jackson, ryan p, collins, davis, ect. and look at their backgrounds, explains everything.
All those kids only have three things in common: (1) they are from Louisiana, (2) they acted like a shithead toward LSU on one or more occasions, and (3) they are black.

Otherwise, some come from divorce, some come from single mothers, and some come from two-parent homes. Some come from college-educated professionals, some come from blue-collar laborers, and some come from welfare queens. Some come from nice suburbs, some come from country towns, and some come from the projects.

So what is so apparent from all these wide varieties of backgrounds that made them handle themselves so? Or do we assume that because they handled themselves poorly they must have come from bad backgrounds?
