the playing time angle

so my question is this - is there any confirmation at all that coaches have actively been using miles and shepard as ammo against us.

Could you clarify your question?

i will guarantee you this argument has been used

well doesn't matter now. all it takes is one big game to wipe all that away. i think this game somewhat erases the freshman playing time theory.

If I were a recruit, I don't think it would matter if I played in yr 1-4, or 2-5, so long as I played, got a good education and played for a winner......LSU is a winner!!!!!!

Brandon Taylor isn't exactly an upper classman so it would have been BT or Jazen if he had stayed with his committment.

Thats just recruiting. The arguement will change after last night. "How are you going to get time ahead of Shep?" And so on and so on. Recruiting angles are always in flux,and its the,whatever it takes to persuade,game. The game last night made a HUGE statement,and closed alot of the houpla(Don't play freshmen,problems with Offense,Don't throw downfield).Last night = BOOM.

The reverse question works the same though. Yes you want the best players in the country to play for you, but if they aren't better than the players older/ahead of them, then unless you are winning by alot, why play them?

Janzen Jackson would not be starting at a lot of places FWIW, but Tennessee has needed some major overhaul.

I would say that the playing time angle would sway Reed with Toliver and Randle and all the WRs we have coming in this year, and the absolute beasts we have coming in next year.

As far as Lache goes, his competition is going to be Murphy and Ridley. Neither of them have proved anything throughout their careers at LSU. As far as he's concerned, he'd be on nearly equal footing with them.

I would worry that he would be concerned with how we use Keilland.
