Fact or Fiction: Other SEC schools produce good players, but LSU produces Stars
Posted on 4/23/16 at 10:14 pm

We have Odell, Ben Simmons, Jarvis, Patrick Peterson, Tyrann Matheiu, LF7
Can other SEC name as many current "star level" playing at this level or in the pros? I don't even think Bama can. It's very impressive.
Also if you look at those names, about half are from the state of LA, while the others come from other states (or countries). This says two things: (1) our state doesn't just pump good athletes. We produce stars. Future all pros. (2) LSU can go and get the stars.
I know there isn't much in this thread to debate as so many of you just live for, but we've got guys like Odell in Kanye West rap songs, and that's something our SEC counterparts just can't brag about
It's more a bragging thread than anything else. I'll be happy to move it over to the SEC rant if that's a better place for it.

While I don't disagree, and I admit that is a more important fact...it's not the purpose of this sunshine pumping thread

Georgia - AJ Green, Justin Houston, Todd Gurley, Geno Atkins, Thomas Davis, Matt Stafford.
Alabama - Julio Jones, Amari Cooper, Marcell Dareus, Donta Hightower, CJ Mosley, Eddie Lacy.
Those are just off the top of my head.
But yes, we produce a lot of good players and some stars. But so do a few other SEC schools as well. Just the nature of the beast in the SEC. Lots of really good players and athletes come from this conference.

I still think we top both Georgia and Alabama. Kentucky has a stronger argument than those two.

If you still haven't done this, don't.

Fiction.
Lots of other schools produce stars.
Ben Simmons is not a star - not yet, at least. Neither is LF7 IMO. And to be honest, Bama has Heisman trophy winners and national champions, which by some measures makes them more of a star than Leonard. That's subject to change, of course.

Fact. Athletes from LSU are genetically superior to those from the rest of the SEC.
"Supermen" if you will.

ive always felt it was the opposite. We have a lot of great players while other teams just have one star. For most teams not bama, they usually have the one stand out player.
LSU does have LF now, but just looking back over the years the team usually shared the load on offense and defense. But i think that's also why LSU is one of the teams with the most wins over that last 15 years or so.
