re: Melvin Holland, Jr.....diamond in the rough?

I'm no expert, but he looks like a kid who could develop into something special. He's big, fast and runs good routes, but my favorite part of his highlight is that he's physical and looks to have a competitive attitude with the ball in the air and after the catch. His only real weakness that I see is he is a little slow out of his breaks during routes or after the catch which could be improved with quickness drills... and that's just being very picky.

The fact that he has played OLB for a few years tells me he is physical... something LSU likes/looks for in WRs and could earn him playing time on special teams as a freshman/RSFreshmen.

I see no reason why LSU shouldn't pursue him now that Noil wants to see the world (in College Station). LSU could get three big, physical WRs in this class depending on Dupre.
