Looks like a dang good player. I would rather have him that Murphy. Not sure how Ridley compares since Ridley is stuffed behind two Seniors but I would take Bolden in a heart beat.

Don't know but he is playing ahead of some pretty good players. Watching Powe, Tillman and Hardy was tough considering that the Tigers recruited all 3 very hard.

I don't think so but Clean was high on him and held a grudge for LSU's lack of recruitment of Bolden. BLEE DAT!

Not to mention Daverin Geralds and Rishaw Johnson both starting on the oline.

I would think Johnson should've gotten an offer over Thomas Parsons right about now.

Also, Geralds hold the middle down a lot better than our current centers on the roster, I will not name names!

Tillman and Powe were both committed to us also

we didn't recruit Bolden that much, but I too was high on him an hopes he would get an offer...oh well

I don't think we're missing out on Breaux that much

not saying we're missing Bolden either, I'd just like to have him

I know we went after Powe but he had serious grade issues and I also wish we could have landed Patrick Patterson. I think he will be a player.

Not sayin this actually matters, but just a few ovservations...

On rivals, Bolden ran a 4.69 - people would have freaked out.

Geralds was a 2 star - people would have freaked out.

Rishaw - what the hell were we thinking? seriously, anyone know why we didn't offer?

In meat market orgeron discusses rishaw often. He was very high on his abilities. Also I want to say lsu got on him late but his mother wouldn't let him switch. Pretty sure as a child he was in a car accident and his father died. Very tough life growing up but good to see him doing well

Maybe he wanted NOTHING to do with LSU? He may have made that clear early on???

The reason LSU did not offer Bolden is because he is slow. Had LSU offered him, he would not be seeing the field. He is not better than KW, CS, or Ridley.
