I see what you are saying, but to discredit Chavis' ability to develop players is foolish.
Sure, a player of Nkemdiche's caliber will have to really have a nit-wit for a coach to not refine his skills enough to make the NFL jump in a few years, but going to a big program, where he could be surrounded by more talent would expedite the process.

I think Chavis is great! He's been a proven asset to this program. I'm not trying to discrdedit his ability to develop players. But, the fact is that LSU does not take a bunch of average highschool players and just rely on Chavis to turn them into NFL-ready players. Player development is twofold. And the most important part is talent and not coaching.

But that's not what this argument is about. It's about talent development. My contention is that there is an insignificant difference in talent development between, for example, Ole Miss and LSU. They are going to lift weights at both programs and, contrary to what some on here think, they're not going to be taught any better at LSU to "not take bad 'angels'
Exactly. Talent matters. Plus NFL coaches think they can correct any flaws in technique or developement anyway.

It's not discrediting it, he does a great job, but so do a lot of other coaches. Talent is still the most important factor. One thing Chavis may be better at is evaluating the talent. 3* and 5* are just rankings, not facts. So maybe Chavis just spots them early. We did offer and get a committment from Tre White a year ago when he was a 4*, now he is a 5*.
