 | re: Pick class 1 or 2 - kevlanmei on 5/20/13 at 6:25 am
Seriously, it's not even close. Give me Class #2 all day long. Now, if you add Cam Robinson and Malachi Dupre to Class #1 (in exchange for Quinn Kenny Young), it might be more of a toss-up....

| re: Lorenzo Carter and LSU - kevlanmei on 5/19/13 at 7:02 am
I agree completely with whodidthat. #1 thing is getting him to our campus. If so, Haley could then easily demonstrate the huge difference in how LSU uses its D-Ends in our scheme compared to a D-End's role in Bama's scheme (and Georgia's scheme, for that matter).
If that happens, I think our ch...

| re: A long time until signing day...But with our aggressive recruiting now ? - kevlanmei on 5/11/13 at 11:01 pm
It's the same every year.
LSU (and I assume every college team) takes the following approach: take the 25 kids that:
- want to come to your school
- qualify academically
- you think can best benefit your program
It doesn't much matter if they are from Delhi, Louisiana or Delhi, India. If t...

I just love when "recruiting junkies" say stuff like "We need to stop wasting our staff's man-hours" on some kid or the other.
What kind of time are you thinking is involved here??? A 30 secoond text here and a 5 minute phone call there??? Do you really think this is going to prevent our staff ...

| re: Why did David Jenkins transfer? - kevlanmei on 5/7/13 at 11:30 am
While I won't try to dispute the possible personality conflict mentioned by folks above, there was a more specific situation that also led to Jenkins parting ways with LSU. And it had more to do with Chavis than anyone else.
You must fremember that during the 2012 Spring Drills how Chavis came o...

| re: 247Composite #1 WSDE impressed by Mingo & 2 more DE going early - kevlanmei on 4/27/13 at 6:59 am
Yep, it is all about the different defensive philosophies between Bama's 3-4 scheme and LSU's 4-3. LSU allows our D-Linemen the freedom to make plays (and develop as a playmaker). Bama's D-Linemen are pretty much there to occupy opposing O-Linemen so their linebackers can get to the football.
I...

| re: Rickey Jefferson - kevlanmei on 4/15/13 at 2:21 pm
Regardless of his last name, I am very excited about Jefferson's future at LSU. With the way Chavis runs his defense, it is a godsend to have a strong safety who has cover skills.
We saw the big difference between Brandon Taylor (in 2011) and Eric Reid (in 2012). Having Taylor ready and able to...

A taller, faster version of John Diarse. Like Diarse, Upchurch is a great kid from a top-notch family. Also like Diarse, he has great, great hands catching the football - even in traffic.
I know Dupre has better pure physical skills; and that Noil is electric with the ball in his hands; and tha...

I agree 100%. If you find a way to remove the emotional side of being a fan (this board's meltdown over losing other DBs like Brown, Paris, and/or Hootie), and just focus on which DB would likely have the most positive effect on our program, I would take Adoree Jackson over any of them.
In fact,...

I say we are most likely to lose out on that 2nd-string linebacker from Farmerville. He really dreams of playing for LSU, but I am not sure we end up giving him an offer. After all, he is 5'6" and 145 pounds. Plus, he's pretty slow with a 5.5 laser-timed 40 yard dash. I guess we'll have to wait ...

I think even more important is that Voorhies stated that he is wanting to play receiver at LSU. So if that is his desire, combined with the staff telling him that is where they want him to play - it just seems reasonable that he gets what he wants.
Plus, I think he can help us more at receiver t...
