re: What would the recruiting board do??

Russell Shepard apparently is a great and entertaining guy but simply not a great football player. He had one asset...speed. He never displayed versatility as far as shiftiness, discipline running pass patterns, strength to break ANY tackles, and IMO not a student of the game. How many times did he line up in the wrong place in formations? Answer...a lot! I didn't see anyone else doing that. The services just missed horribly on the guy...that is NOT on him! He didn't rank himself...the services did. But LSU and the NFL were right. Hell, there were LSU fans his SR season still saying that Miles and the offensive coaches were buffoons who didn't know how to use him properly. Actually, LSU did...that is why his playing time was spotty!
