Yes, he was the biggest recruit since Faulk in many eyes and he spurned us like a little ____ with the help of Yar Yar Football and our favorite Reggie Bush.

Joe McKnight didn't hurt LSU. He was overrated and a prima donna.

Yes, we were going after him very strong and if your going off of a recruits hype in high school yes he was #2 in the country to Jimmy Clausen who was crowned a 10 year QB can't miss prospect.

He spurned LSU and yes, we ABSOLUTELY wanted him. He didn't hurt LSU by not coming and in retrospect he wasn't a "can't miss", but the question wasn't whether or not it hurt LSU but a can't miss that spurned us. Joe McKnight is the answer

And as far as high school prospects went, he was pretty much a can't miss who turned out to be average in a crowded USC backfield.
