1st, the notion that we don't need a QB in the class. I don't get how some think we don't need one. Jennings has passed Rivers at this point and that leads me,, and many others, to believe he's probably gonna bolt. That leaves just Jennings and Retiig on the roster after this season. Even if Rivers stays to backup Jennings, what's to say Rettig doesn't bolt after a year or 2? When these questions are viable and possibilities to happen, you need a QB in the class. Haven't we all learned from the JJ/JL experience that you need as many options as possible at QB? A QB is needed in every class. The thought that the staff at one time was looking at 2 QBs in the class should tell you that 1 is an absolute must.
As for Harris, I think we land him but I'm not a huge fan of the kid. He's a top talent with a cannon and athletic ability but I just don't see the leadership abilities that are necessary. Could be I'm just turned off by his cockiness and seemingly "me 1st" attitude. I want to land him because our options are short now and because he's an instate kid but if we lose him those are the only 2 reasons I'd be disappointed. I like Brandon Dawkins better overall.
If I'm Harris and Baylor is sincere about me and willing to take me(Randall Cunningham has always been their top guy), I look very hard at them. Briles has proven what he can do with Harris' skillset. Moreso than Malzhan imo. Malzhan had 1 big year with a special QB. What have his other QBs done? Kiehl Fraizer is as talented, or more, as Harris and he is a complete mess. I don't get the whole Malzhan genius thing.

Nope, we'll still have Bolden for another year after this.

He is for the wildcat spread offense he basically created or sparked popularity in. Great for college game. Used sparingly in the pros. Harris would no doubt have a great college career at Auburn. But that doesn't really translate to the NFL. Cam Newton is a once a decade type of freak, but he's also had plenty of trouble transition to the pros.
Having Cameron and running a more pro style offense gives us a heavy edge in that department

I agree we should get a QB in this class if possible. As far as the whole cockiness thing. I don't get you saying this? Just asking if you have ever met Harris or been around him? Do you know him on a personal basis? Sometimes these recruits get a bad rap for no other reason than they may not want come to LSU. Tyrann Mathieu was one of the most flamboyant and cocky players I have ever seen on a college football field. Fans loved him as long as he was on their team. The minute a player goes somewhere else or expresses interest somewhere else he is trash or cocky. This is one of the reasons I have told parents of recruits who come on this board not to volunteer any info other than the minimum when it comes to their son and the recruiting process.
