Yes, but did it hurt LSU? McKnight was a product of John Curtis' historical rep. He didn't amount to shite in college or the NFL, so I don't call that a huge loss. In fact, I'd call Wallace a bigger loss than McKnight.

our depth at RB and WR made nether Wallace or McKnight a huge loss


im pretty sure we didnt even offer Wallace


the 3 guys i mentioned from OKLA were slow played by LSU and had rather good careers at OU. No one really knows if they truly had offers or not, but 2 were right in our backyard and Harris was at one point coming to LSU i believe, but something happened with Saban.

But you act as if he did nothing there. We certainly didn't need either Berlin or Eli to win a title but you would consider them losses at the time.

I don't disagree with you, just noting that he was very highly regarded at the time and we missed. The guy is a POS so he can just fall into the Janzen Jackson category of misses.
