re: Who was the last CAN'T MISS prospect from La. to spurn LSU....

quote:

---

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.

Then that isn't the definition of a "Can't Miss" IMO......

Warrick Dunn
Travis Minor
Ed Reed
Peyton Manning

These are those types of guys.....JM was just "meh".......would have been nice to have him but not a wow.
