Big Picture Issue with LSU Recruiting
Posted on 1/23/15 at 9:53 am

I love that LSU continues to compile great recruiting classes. However, the fact that we're not bringing in a big time QB prospect or Juco that could compete immediately is concerning. We continue to stack studs in the secondary and at the RB position, but we neglect to recruit our Achilles heel? God forbid we have a major injury or off the field issue that would take away 1 of our only 2 valid options at QB. Haven't we seen this same issue play out for the last 6 years? How long will the QB feel like an afterthought when it comes to recruiting? I know that Harris and Jennings were sought after recruits, but this needs to happen every year, not every 3 years. This very issue could be the demise of les miles.

Do you think LSU isn't recruiting big time quarterbacks? It's not as easy as picking out the guy you want and having him enroll.
Harris was a highly rated guy and LSU leads for Shea Patterson, and has a commitment from Franks. Do a little research pal

This board always knows what's best for LSU.

Yes they were.
So was Rettig. We also had Mett for 2 years before that who was very sought after. Jarrett Lee was an Elite 11 QB. Hell, even Jordan Jefferson was a 4* guy.
Before that we had Ryan Perrilloux, the #1 QB in the country. Before that we had 4* Matt Flynn and Jamarcus Russell.
We have Feleipe Franks committed who is very sought after and Shea Patterson in state who we are putting a full court press on for.
So in summary, you have no idea what you're talking about. We recruit highly regarded high school QBs, but have just done a poor job developing them or keeping them on campus.

...and if either of them started their freshman or sophomore years, they'd struggle like young kids do. And we are right back at "OMGERD MILES AND CAM CAN'T DEVELOP QBS!!!!"

Yes i believe LSU is not putting the same amount of effort and research into recruiting QBs as other positions. I believe the past 10 years of results proves my point.

Before posting, consider how knowledgable (or ignorant) you are of the topic. We signed Brandon Harris last year. And we're in position to sign two of the top five QBs in the country in 2016 (one is already committed, and we're the leader for the other).
QB recruiting is anything but "an afterthought." Stop being an idiot.

I would normally say that this is recruiting board material, but don't bring this garbage over there. This is definitely Rant material

And why are we in the situation of starting young guys? Because we're not bringing in a valid QB option every year.

Mett came to BR when he could have gone elsewhere and the Harris signing was fairly significant at the time. Lets see if Les' proclamation that we have to throw the ball more in 2015 means anything. There is no reason why LSU shouldn't appeal to QB's. Rivers, Bolden, Rettig all came here believeing it was the place to be for them.

Big time QB's? Every QB we have ever put on the field was a 4 or 5 star. Research before you rant... You will eat those words in 15.

What about 2015?

He couldn't beat out the other two guys so he transferred. Doesn't mean he wasn't highly regarded out of a very competitive California high school league.

Caterpillar said it all. Recruiting at QB has been fine. It's once they get here that seems to be the issue.

Felipe Franks is the #2 QB in the country for 2016 and committed to LSU. LSU is also aggressively recruiting Shea Patterson, the #1 QB in the country for 2016.
How exactly are they not doing their research and doing what is necessary to find quality quarterbacks? I'll wait for your reply.
