Via OB so needless to say we can mark RSJ off the list if you haven't already

Swoopes will get a lot of comparison to Vince Young because of his size....but he reminds me A LOT more of Russell Shepard with his play than Vince Young. In other words, dynamic with the ball in his hands, terrible when he has to get rid of it

VY was never an elite passer, but he was a good one at the college level. Don't see Swoopes being the same. He can't throw at all. He has ~50% comp. pct. in high school...

There was a report earlier today, Ricky wanted to hold off on his decision but that may change with this Tyrone news.

We must go after jt Barrett hard now.

Bring on J.T. Barrett baby!!!

This was expected, I'm just glad it happened before this weekend. Be interesting if J.T. Barrett even attends this weekend now.

Barrett and Mitch and I might just...well...you know :jimp:

Not to hijack this thread but I felt his passing became elite by his JR. year.

When I say elite passer I don't just mean by statistics, I mean literally an elite level passer, i.e. a guy who can make al the throws, break down a defense, check to 2nd and 3rd options...VY could never do that, but teams respected his run ability so much VY really opened up the passing game with his mobility and he wasn't a bad passer, just not a great one either.

sweet. The next best thing to landing a son of Marla Hooch to play a corner infield position.

I'm not sure that LSU will want to add another project, which is what mid tier guys usually are. That's what they've kind of done the last two years.
