Any reason why we are not looking at any JUCO talent this year. Seems like we have a few holes to plug.

Numbers isn't the issue, experience is the issue. Miles is not a big JUCO guy, unless it's a special case like Mett.

We haven't recruited very many juco guys since Les has been here. I guess that's not his philosophy. Mett, Hicks, Byrd, Mario Stevenson are only guys I can think of

frankly, if a guy goes the juco route, there is a reason...almost always grades or character issues or some other kind of baggage that you just don't want to deal with unless the guy has some serious talent and your team has a serious need....


I watched quanatavious leslie play a couple of times here locally and thought he would be a star at LSU...hasn't happened yet, but he was buried under beckham and landry...we'll see...

Wasn't Leslie a JUCO transfer last season?

Ken Adams, Fanaika, Leslie, Stokes?

We average about one JUCO every year under Les which is a very good and conservative number to recruit for a program like LSU. If a team has to go the JUCO route, the best position to target is DT because they are the toughest to develop besides QB.

According to jcfootball.scout.com, of the top 40 JC recruits, rated from 5 to 3 stars, 16 have committed to SEC schools broken down by teams:
Tenn 3, Aub 3, TAM 3, Bama 2 and Ole Miss, Moo St, and USCe each having 1. Additionally, 5 others out of that same 40 have SEC schools listed as possible favorites. Again, grades, behavioral issues not with standing, that top 40 list sure could include at least one reformer eligible for Tiger consideration. Just a thought.
