Texas is such a dumpster fire they may never recover, even with some decent recruits. Fowler would be wasting his shot at stardom at that Titanic in Austin!

Meh, let's not throw stones
2007
Toliver WR - ok production throughout 4 years and yes I know he has some poor QB play, but that's no excuse for a guy with his skill. UNDRAFTED
2008
Peterson DB - one of the best CBs and return man of the BCS era. I mean he got all the awards. Thorpe (best DB), Bednarik (best defensive player), unanimous All American, 1st team SEC etc. 1ST ROUND
2009
Shepard QB - never threw a pass and was rarely effective as a WR, UNDRAFTED
Randle WR - ok his 1st two years, but nothing special until breakout junior year, 2ND ROUND
Loston DB - injury prone, didn't do much until redshirt junior year, UNDRAFTED
Davenport DT - switched to OL, later transfered out
2011
Collins OL - great OT/OG. 2nd and 1st team All SEC
Johnson DT - great play as backup, meh as starter, left early with one year of starting production, UNDRAFTED
Landry WR - special teams early, drop problem but decent sophomore, breakout player as junior, 2ND ROUND
So for LSU you have nine 5 stars.
1 went 1st round (but I believe Collins would have made 2)
2 went 2nd round but neither were 1st team All SEC and neither were great until their junior year (Jarvis Landry being elite)
4 went undrafted
1 transfered
1 aforementioned Collins was railroaded out of the draft
This wasn't done to rag on LSU, but using his criteria, LSU wasn't much better. IMO, all of it is a crap shoot. There are any number of reasons why a guy didn't pan out. Whether it be his actions, the coaches lack of coaching, the wrong system, incredible depth, or some combination of all of these.

Yea... it's more of a failure in the rankings systems

Solid analysis. Recruiting is a crap shoot; doesn't hurt to get the most 5 stars though, that's for sure.

Yes, he's serious. Why would you as an LSU fans go so far to paint LSU in a negative light? On the recruiting board no less.
If you are an LSU fan, you suck at it.

Why do y'all love to bury your head in the sand and pretend LSU doesn't have the same problems as others? You think kids don't do their due diligence? I hope to God some recruit isn't stupid enough to take my analysis of the typical 5 star at any school and then base his decision on going there or not.
You could do it with any school that gets multiple 5 stars, and that's what I pointed out.
LSU has made bank on a lot of lower rated recruits as well, so it all evens out. Stop taking everything that doesn't agree with you as a punch in the gut to LSU.

If that article and this board draws recruits to LSU then we got issues
Posted on 1/20/16 at 8:23 pm to Datbayoubengal
I was trying to help and you come up with such a detailed junk to offset it? Some LSU fans are purely dumb.

I know LSU has issues.
I DON'T think our Recruiting Board is the place to post them in the last few weeks of a very big recruiting season.
I just don't get some of you.

i mean
an article about recruiting was posted
relevant information to LSU was posted
the culprit seems to be this thread more than the response, which is nothing more than reality

No, the culprit is not being smart.

Do you really think this info isn't on the tip of the tongue of every school we recruit against
As if this is some revelation

I guess we should be posting negative bullshite about LSU here.
I see your point.

this thread isn't smart in light of the arguments made in that article in light of what we've faced at LSU
