Came to the NFL in 2010 out of USC . Never exceeded 200 yards a season and less than 10 yards in last 2 seasons. Believe he is currently out of pro football.

I can't believe how upset many of us were when he didn't come here. Need to remember him next time we lose a big recruit.

He didn't recruit McKnight. Reggie Bush did.

I remember being so pissed when he committed to USC.

I think it was that point, I decided I would only barely follow recruiting. No sense in letter 17 year olds affect me emotionally.

Well, we didn't want to give his girlfriend a scholly or cushy job. USC evidently did.

JT Curtis is not a big LSU proponent. He holds his players back in school most of his graduates are 19 going on 20. My older brother is 3 years older than me and his best friend went to JC and he graduated the same year as me and played football for Tulane.

Recruiting is going on now.

Is there a posting requirement that a post must be about something going on now?

JT currently has 3 players making a significant contribution on LSU's football team this year. How many other high school coaches can say that?

Actually, the fail is in Joe McKnight not coming to LSU. As we know, Miles is committed, and I mean really committed to the run.

Had Joe McKnight come to LSU, his career could have been way different. Maybe it wouldn't have, but I suspect he would have a much better opportunity to excel under Les Miles' offense.

Joe McKnight was most likely blackballed by the Saints and CSP as they hate all LSU players

McKnight would've been a successful LSU back but I think if he didn't go to USC he would've been at Ole Miss.

I saw McKnight at the Susan Park gym in Kenner this week. I don't think he got his degree from USC, so not really sure what the hell he's doing these days.

I imagine his life after football would've been much more pleasant in this area had he attended LSU. Oh well.

do people really believe this?


NFL player, local star in the community.... let's not act like he has no prospects because he didnt go to LSU. That's fricking dumb.
