re: LSU is using a scholarship on a Backup High School Kicker

Only problem I have with post like these are that you have no idea what the coaches see in the player in question, and you also have no idea the conversations the coaches have with these players. He may not even be given a scholarship. It also may be contingent how the class shakes out. Considering hes a kicker, he should have no problem with the coaches saying, you may not have a spot if we land all our targets. I dont see our coaches telling these kids they have a spot and there is nothing to worry about. If that were the truth, then what would make a player hold up their end of the bargain? Weve held up our end on multiple occasions with players either not making grades, getting in trouble off the field and injured players.

The one thing that was blown out of proportion was the Elliot porter deal. But guess what, he's our starting center now and has a full ride to LSU.
