Kirk is awesome, elite athlete, great HS player, and I hope he comes to LSU. But, what worries me about him are similar to worries I had about Trovon Reed in HS. Where does his athletic ability and hybrid skill set project to? At the next level the elite schools have great athletes in every position, and at RB and at WR, LSU and A&M will have guys who's body type and skill set are more conducive for those positions. At worst Kirk will be a two year contributor at WR or RB at either school, but I wonder if he translates to be an SEC starter at either position? Hope he goes to LSU so we can find out there.

Kirk would probably be better off at LSU. A&M and Oregon are trendy because they run fast offenses with hybrid guys all over, but how well does that translate into the NFL? LSU runs an NFL offense and the coaching staff can teach him things that will translate into the NFL better than A&M or Oregon can. He's a special type of athlete that can cause matchup problems everywhere, which is why he'd work in an offense that runs the ball effectively. Paired with all of the other great guys we have, it would be absolute hell to try to stop the offense.
