Thought we were going to see him become Tiger Bait in LV, but I forgot he transferred to Wisky. Guess he wasn't moving up the depth chart at SC. Oh well, wish him the best up in the frozen tundra.

Threw in over his head and killed his development. Very few guys are ready physically and still fewer mentally

He started as a freshman. How much higher could he go.

I have no idea how grown men can talk about a 20 year old kid as much as some of you do. You act like teenage girls hating on the guy who wouldn't ask you to prom. Who cares, let it go. Life is good

How some average at best player, from another school, lives in ya’ll’s head is baffling.
What’s with the obsession?

He wasn't recruited by LSU as hard as some of y'all seem to think he was.

99% of it coming from people that couldnt even start in HS. miserable people who love to talk bad about kids

its funny....people bash Louisiana, say how much it sucks, especially cenla where Tackett is from...yet the minute someone leaves...they get pissed. its truely baffling.

Anyone who voluntarily chooses to play defense for a Lincoln Riley coached team is inherently in danger of being called "soft."

He played a lot and started several games as a true freshman for SC. Was Pac 10 Freshman of the Week one week.
However, USC's defense was not good. And as bad as our defense was last year, i do not think he would have seen anywhere close to the PT he got at SC.
He will probably be a serviceable LB at Wisconsin. It appears to me he was overrated coming out of HS.
Best of luck to him.

Was the lowest graded player on that USC defense per PFF. 44.3 overall

Thats like, major yikes.

He lost his starting spot later in the season.

I seem to remember during his recruitment some people who "knew people close to him" posted here all about how LSU wasn't recruiting him or that area well enough or something.

Those people were all lying. Jess Curtis and co. were throwing a fit because LSU pulled an offer from one of his players in the past or something.

I'm not going back through the timeline again, but LSU basically offered him twice (under O, under Kelly) before or at the same time as the rest of his finalists. His family, however, kept posting that LSU didn't offer him and wasn't recruiting him. Instead of just being a man and saying he wanted to leave the state, they kept making up bullshite excuses for him.

Oh, they would also come onto the board saying Curtis was the #1 LB in the country, would've been better than Perkins if in the same class, better than weeks, better than every current LSU LB commit. It was exhausting and childish, so save me the "he's just a kid" bullshite. His family and friends made that bed for him.

If a player makes it known they're leaving the state, people respect that. Sedrick Van Pren was the #1 center in the country (a position of need) and basically never considered LSU. Made it known he was leaving the state. No one cared or bad mouthed him.

ETA: frick Jess Curtis. He ruined the LHSAA even though he was able to do more than any other public school in the state when it came to roster building.
