Very Excited About La'el Collins

After re-watching the UA All-Star game, I am even more impressed with La'el Collins. The guy made the #1 prospect in the nation a non-factor until Collins got hurt.
Hope he recovers quickly and fully from his ankle problem.
Welcome aboard, Mr. Collins.

IMO Collins is the #1 recruit in the nation, he neutralized Clowney who is the biggest beast to come out in awhile, I was very impressed,....great kid,

He will have 6 pancakes vs the ducks

On a bum ankle; he neutralized Clowney. Freak told it like was.

Freak blocking that FG at the end of the game was sweet

Exactly. The rollup from behind in the contest was just a re-agrivation of an injury he sustained recently. All three future Tigers were clearly among the top ten performers in that game.

For the love of the recruiting gods, please stop setting this kid up for the "bust" tag!
He will not start next year. Will he get playing time? Maybe, but he has several seasoned veterans in front of him. College ball is a whole world different than HS......even the Under Armour bowl.....
Some of you are so brainwashed by recruiting sites and blinded by college coaching ignorance.
Let me very clear on this however. He is the brightest LSU oline prospect since Whitworth ......and his star potential is shining brighter than Andy's.

Collins and Landry will start from game 1 for LSU.

...care to wager a 6-month TD ban on Collins not starting day 1?

Are you serious?

Let me tell you something feller.
I know a lot more about oline than you think.
Pick a new target, I'm not a ranter

absolutely.
I know more about college oline development and recruiting than the avereage bear. Collins has great potential talent, but Tfr olineman are typically the latest bloomers and LSU has proven depth ahead of him.
I will take Faulk, Hurst, Shaw, and Josh D ahead of a true freshman if only from the perspective of playbook knowledge and assignments in a live SEC setting.....
Ed, 3 simple questions:
Did you play college ball?
Have you ever recruited for a college?
Have you ever coached in any capacity for a college?
I make honest/real life predictions that are fair in managing expectations of an incoming pup.
With some of these numbnuts' assertions, should La'el not start next year, he will be dubbed a 5* bust and that is damn unfair. Kid may very well become the next Bill Fralic, but people will likely end up dragging him through the mud before he's given a fair chance.

Faulk and Hurst, he most certainly will.....and Greg will be in the RT mix.

Hurst will end up at RT, and I seriously doubt Collins will end up anywhere other than LT
Posted on 1/7/11 at 1:29 pm to CharlesLSU
Collins will battle Faulk for starting LT. I think he is starting by midseason.
Posted on 1/7/11 at 1:30 pm to lynxcat
Yes, Faulk is the one he will be primarily going against.
Posted on 1/7/11 at 1:34 pm to Louie T
Guys, Les will put a pup at RT waaaaayyyy before LT. If he plays above his age level and to his POTENTIAL, I would give him a solid chance for time at RT.....not LT.
We have a seasoned bunch coming back and have no urgent need for an incoming talent to be hurried in his development.....Auburn, well, that's a whole different story. If he did go there, yea, he'd be starting day 1.
