I thought Jonathan Zenon would never see the field...WRONG
I thought Xavier Carter would be an All-American...WRONG
I thought Chris Davenport would be the next Dorsey...WRONG
I thought Jarrett Lee could be another Brett Favre...WRONG
I thought Russell Shepard would be a special QB...WRONG
I laughed when Jacob Hester committed and said he would never get past the practice squad...WRONG
I'm sure there are at least a dozen more in recent history that prove that I don't know anything, but that is why I don't get paid to recruit.![](https://images.tigerdroppings.com/Images/Icons/Icongeauxtigers.png)

Things I was wrong about:
I thought Daryl Johnson was going to be an All-American Safety for us.
I never thought Tyson Jackson would see the field until maybe his Sr. year.
I thought Matt Stoltz, Al Jones/Rahim Alem, Phelon Jones and Sidell Corely would be All-SEC.
I thought Alfred Blue and Steven Ridley would be linebackers.
MY BIGGEST MISTAKES:
I thought Derrick Odom would be a monster and Kelvin Sheppard would be a scrub.
What I got right:
I knew RS would never be a QB with that noodle arm.
I thought Dwayne Bowe would be a stud WR for us.
I knew Eric Reid would be a great defensive player for LSU.
I knew Barksdale would be a great OT for LSU.
