re: Any info on how the recruits are responding to Cam Cameron?
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 11:04 am
Great ? and the results seem to be mixed. Everyone praises the guy to high heaven but I'm still waiting for all the offensive commits at the skill positions. Wish those prospects who have praised him so much would actually commit. :lol:...
re: My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 11:01 am
Good info, sir and what you claimed makes 100% sense! Shorter is by far the best available option for LSU for the other back (assuming LSU signs him). IF LF went elsewhere, Shorter becomes even more important. This is flat out bizarre that a running team like LSU signs 0 RBs the last 2 years and ...
re: Anyone heard how Darrel Williams has looked?
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:58 am
BTW, an interesting note. On one of the chats with James Smith, a guy (nnnnnnooooo, NOT me) and James disagreed big time. James Smith really liked D Williams, and the other guy said what the hell are you seeing that I'm not. Anyway, that was pretty confrontational for a NOLA chat but Smith appare...

I assume he had a cast on his left ankle correct? :lol:
Hey, he still has those supposed offers from Florida and Georgia? :rotflmao:...

Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:53 am
I agree with both yawns and someone mentioned D Williams offers from Florida and Georgia. IF they are committable, that is about all he had of note. Arizona State was there but the other offers, not big time IMO. And once again, are the FL and GA offers committable...I'm guessing no, they are not...
re: My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:43 am
Yeah, and look at 3 things:]
1) Where they are ranked by the services
2) Their rather skimpy list of offers
3) Neither has an offer from LSU
IMO, Shorter is the class of the field of potential LSU signees at RB NOT named Leonard Fournette. To not push for the guy or accept his commit is down...
re: My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:34 am
Not just me...several on here said they should have taken Taylor or SOMEONE last year at RB. I can't remember a major college program that runs a decent amount to have passed on RBs 2 years in a row. And once again, yes I've heard of Leonard Fournette. Everyone is talking about taking 2 RBs this ...
re: My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:30 am
who isn't but 1 RB in 3 years is a little bit under the fishing limit I believe. What happens if God forbid an injury occurs? And shifting someone to RB who hasn't played it or may not physically be able to hold up or take the punishment is pretty stupid IMO. Shorter IMO is better than Williams f...
re: My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:26 am
Yeah, I forgot to mention that but this is beginning to sound a little like the Taylor deal from last year but Shorter IMO is better than Taylor was. IMO, LSU is playing a little too hard to get on RBs and quite frankly it is pissing me off! 2012 - 0 RBs signed 2013 - 0 RBs signed 2014 - 0 RBs c...
re: My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:17 am
Correct, that is supposed to be who he is down to but he was reported to be at the LSU camp. To me, that pretty much shuffles those "favorites" up quite a bit IF LSU pushes for the guy. IF LSU pushes for him, my guess is they get him. LSU has been on the guy quite a while and his offers are flat ...
re: Quinn Commitment supposedly coming really soon.
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:13 am
Agree with you, sir! Even his own statements were pretty inconsistent, much less whether he was accurate in some others. ThreauxDown, I really think it came down to he thought that his teammate R Shaw would be offered at LSU like he was. Louisville offered the DE and I believe he has committed, s...
re: B. Harris... once he commits on Thursday the flood gates will open
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:09 am
Sean White was visiting and came and left without an offer. But the GIVEN is that if Harris selects LSU, 5 seconds later White's cellphone will ring and Malzahn will be on the line....
My 2nd back taken would be Kevin Shorter
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 10:05 am
For some reason, Shorter has fallen off the radar a bit, although apparently he was at the camp yesterday and everyone that I've seen says he already have an LSU offer. His highlights look great to me with plenty of speed, that "run to daylight" attribute, shifty, intelligent on when to cutback, gr...
re: Quinn Commitment supposedly coming really soon.
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 9:59 am
That is the longer interview but there was the other one where he actually criticized the coaches when he decommitted and said he had been trying to get hold of them for several days and they wouldn't get back to him. Of course, even in this interview, he seemed a bit pissed they delayed taking his...
re: Santos Ramirez 2014 S/CB offered per Jimmy (updated w/link)
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 9:25 am
Yeah, they are perfect. Oh, and funny you bring up coaches expertise. I assume you MEAN ALL coaches at major schools right? So, in other words, the fact that ONLY LSU, Air Force, S Miss, and Memphis have offered Ramirez would say that only those coaches know squat right? I trust LSU coaches to a...
re: What is LSU's top need at the WR position?
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 9:15 am
Mine would be, and I'm not going to gap the difference although not a bad idea:
Dupre
Noil
Blacknall
Upchurch
Quinn
D Williams (1 year availability is HUGE!)
LSU isn't offering Sims due to numbers, and he seems to be falling a bit in the services rankings, so I'll take the coaches and the...
re: What is LSU's top need at the WR position?
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 9:03 am
For 1 year only and the his personal situation with the threat of violence against him or members of his family? Probably better/safer for HIM and LSU that he goes elsewhere. To be honest, it would be best if he was qualified for the NFL in years out of HS. My guess is he would declare for the NF...
re: What is LSU's top need at the WR position?
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 8:55 am
He's in there now...I simply forgot to type him in. Your observation was correct! :cheers: I did take out D Williams because I don't want LSU to sign 6 WRers even if Upchurch may not end up there as a TR WR...because he will be catching the ball from some position on offense....
re: What is LSU's top need at the WR position?
Posted by Purpleandgold2 on 7/16/13 at 8:51 am
Personally, I like Dupre the best. He beat Tony Brown at that camp a while back on a couple of passes. He just looks and has the physical attributes of a WR and seems to have great hands. Noil I like with the ball but the highlights I've seen he is running with the ball from the QB position or th...
