re: Dexter Blackmon Eligibility

I have heard it's a concern

Quiet frankly if we don't get a surprise, I am ready to call the DL class a complete failure.

I don't know what the heck happened, but we lost Hardick, and Marsh, missed on Copeland, Smith, Ego, and now this Blackmon kid may not qualify, and is a diamond in the rough (hope) type of recruit as it is.. noone offered him but us

I love LSU...and support the coaches, but I give them an F...on this position of great need thus far.

I am ticked off

DE was pretty good with Maclin and Allen, as well as Bates on 3rd downs.

None of your DTs get me excited bc I don't see any of them as any different than the ones we signed last year.

What we need is SIZE, and none of the guys you list are above 270 lbs.

I'd rather sign the guys instate next year.

There is 3 DTs next year already bigger than that.

Byron Jones this year should have been offered 6 months ago! He would have been on the top of my offer list. I agree that Marsh and Copeland are good prospects, but IMO Jones is a better compliment to what we signed last year bc he has nose tackle size.

Outside of Davenport, we don't have any size at DT right now, and neither of those guys would have changed that problem.

I will agree with you simply bc I think BJones was a total failure on the staff's part.

I understand what you guys are saying and I agree...

just want to reiterate the original purpose of the thread: that apparently Dexter Blackmon is going to be of great importance to this class as he very well could be the only DT we sign and, because of this, it would be nice if he were eligible to enroll as there are grade concerns.

I guess the "shite" Copeland was "done with" was us.
