Recruits should see that. And that LSU has the most players in the NFL. LSU's offenses are usually average or bad, but we had 2 receivers on one team have over 200 yards combined yesterday. We had two rookie rb's who combined for over 300 yards. We have a rookie qb starting tonight. And Lafell (maybe other offensive players) did well. Plus we all know how are defensive players do since we are a pipeline for the NFL. Recruits....,come here if u want to make it big!

There is no debate that miles can and will recruit quality. Also LA talent is above average. It's a great combo

I remember when somebody pointed out the other day that Eli threw to Reuben Randle, was intercepted by Eric Reid, and Odell Beckham had to chase him down to make the TD saving tackle.

Randle was literally 1-2 spots away from being a first rounder, and Reid and OBJr were both taken in the top 15.

it reminds me of when USC and Ohio State use to be all the names you heard about 5-8 years ago when announcers called out their colleges during the NFL games. Now you have LSU players running all over the place making all kinds of plays.

Just going off my memory, if you add in Bowe, LaFell, Beckham, Landry, Hill, Blue, and Mett's yardage from week 11, you'd have around 800 yards from LSU players. Crazy thing is, only take the players from last year's team, and you'd still have around 700 yards.

They don't reach their ceilings at LSU so they have a lot of room for improvement in the NFL. In comparison, look at Bama players. Most reach their ceilings and have nowhere to progress in the NFL. Seems scouts are starting to finally realize this.

I want to say the last LSu WR that started and didn't go int eh first three rounds was Terrence Tolliver.

I never really understood that one either, he was pretty good.

OBJ-1st
JArvis-2nd
RR-2nd
Terrence- undrafted
Byrd- 7th round, but he was in that serious car accident before the draft
Lafell- 3rd
Early Doucet-3rd
Buster Davis- 1st
Dwayne Bowe-1st
Michael Clayton- 1st
Devery Henderson-2nd

and there are people who say they wouldn't send a 5 star WR son to LSU

WR son to LSU


They were going to the NFL regardless. Ruben Randle couldve gone to bama and won a national championship.

Right now, its a shite show. Quinn and dupre will be underutilized until they make it to the NFL just like Ruben.

Isn't it amazing how LSU has more going-to-the-NFL-regardless WRs in the league than any other school in the country? Amazing.

You probably think LSU doesn't deserve any credit for having the most players in the NFL.

How exactly was Randle underutilized, especially in his final year?

You are stupid as hell. So LSU just happens to get so many going to the NFL? If that were the case, Bama, TAMU, Clemson, UGA, the PAC 12, and the like, should have way more than we do. A lot of kids that put up a ton of yardage don't do shite in the NFL. LSU has sent many, that made at least a moderate impact, than any other team in the last 9 or even 10 years.

Doucet, Bowe, LaFell, Landry, Beckham, Randle. Who else can make those claims?

Still producing each week. And with all the OBJ talk, Landry has more catches as a rookie thus far.
