But it could be real man, the gazers (stars and meat) only want one thing and its not necessarily getting the best player at the position of need.

Some good stuff in that article from Wiltfong:

When Curry committed, I wrote he was a threat to score on every touch; as a high school junior, he had three touchdown runs of over 90 yards. But it sounds like the Tigers staff was just as impressed with his explosion as they were with how hard he competed in camp. He’s seen as a back that can punish defenses, wear them down and be the pound the rock guy at some point in his career.

Provens an Alvin Kamara-type player – a guy LSU will be able to line up anywhere, motion all over. I’ve seen him catch the football in camp, and he’s as good as any back in the country when it comes to ball skills. He’s a slippery back with quickness and good change of direction speed.

The 6'2, 220-pound Carter with the combination of size, speed and ability to catch the football spoke to Oregeron and his assistants and earned him the offer. He’s an every-down back who will push the room upon arrival.

You are obviously missing the sarcasm, nitwit is being sarcastic too. Right nitty?? lol

I like how you respond to his questions with sound intellect and in-depth discussion instead of typical smart arse comments.

Star ranking system isn't infallible by any means, but the final rankings are more than a decent indicator of what kind of talent you are bringing in. 2018 rankings are far from final however

Last years first rd picks, all top 100 players. Next years 1st round projections? Key and Guice, both top 100 players


Look at last years draft class:

Composite rank - Name - drafted

1 - Fournette - 4
31 - Adams - 6
54 - White - 27
57 - Pocic - 58
535 - Riley - 75
74 - Beckwith - 107
149 - Godchaux - 178
17 - Dupre - 247

You'll have your diamonds in the rough, you'll have your guys that don't live up to the hype. But for the most part the more talented the player the higher they end up ranked

Wow that's almost exactly how I've described these players at some point or another. You really don't need a bunch of 5* and high 4* players every year to win lots of games even though LSU does have them through out its roster.

Of course this staff will take the big names if it comes knocking but they will take what they see as fitting right now. We also have an early period this year so maybe it's part of their strategy to have lots of commits before that period.

You have to think that once the season starts LSU will have more options and interest so will room all of a sudden open up after the early period? You know one thing is for certain, Ed and staff will NOT let up on the trail or all of a sudden stop evaluating talent. Hmmmm.... HTT
