Who is the better catch? I like J. Austin personally and hope he realizes LSU is a much better program than Houston. Austin gives up a little size 6'4 vs G Rob 6'6. What really sells me is he seems more interested in LSU than G. Rob. He plays with a mean streak, and has good feet. I know rivals would say G. Rob 6 days out of a week and twice on Sunday, but I'm sold on Austin. He could be a much better Cornell Stewart is someone from recent history to compare him to.

I am going to say G Rob, but admittedly its a stargazing opinion. I just have to trust all of the publications on this one. He isnt ranked in teh top 100 on every site for no reason.

We missed on him. We are still in a good situation.

Wow. We get both of the idiotic memes in the same thread.

1. Stars don't matter because Hester was a 2*
2. Less-talented guys who have always wanted to go to LSU will turn out to be better players than more talented ones who look at different schools.

It's just too bad that Robinson is from Louisiana. If he were from another state, then someone could add:

3. Less-talented players from Louisiana are better than more talented players from other states.

and then we'd have all the idiots together in one thread.

height for an OT is overrated once you hit about 6'3"

it's more about wingspan, footwork, and strength

6'4 comes from his coaches. And as for the all pro commentator, Austin looks more talented, he is way more active than G Rob on there highlights. Kid can play so as for this less talented garbage, keep it.

Exactly. People are fricking retarded.

Lebron didn't want to play at home anymore, but Cleveland is WAAAAAY better off with the players that want to be there.

Apostel, please show me where you or anyone else, prior to last week, said that Austin was better than Robinson.

Never did, but I saw Austin play. I'm excited about the idea. He is the best o tackle I have seen in the Metro Area. All I have to go by on G Rob is his stars and ratings.
