I am wondering who has come to LSU with as much hype as Russell Shepherd? Harvey Williams?

Perriloux and Keiland Williams. Let's hope he breaks the trend.

what trend KW has been a key contributor for three years. I wish we could see what his career would be like at this point if he was the full time starter last year.

Yes, but it is the intangibles that Shep brings that will make him a star.

there has never been a player this hyped EVER coming to LSU. Its not just about his talent... there is so much more that people are expecting out of him. Ive never heard a HS kid say all of the right things as he does. people expect him to cure world hunger. FWIW he had me at hello

My only concern with RS is that the expectations of him is so high that if he makes a mistake and he will that people will turn on him immediately. I remember also when Josh Booty was suppose to be all world and .....

I think he brings more to the table than just playing. He is LSU's ambassador of recruiting.
And he is super motivated/r like Tebow...

RP really never had time to get the hype up being a signing day switch, but for the next few months after the hype level was pretty high.

Have to say the "hype" hasn't been as high like this for awhile just bc we haven't hadthe #1 overall player committ to us, and definetley not for a period of months before signing day.
