re: How good can Jennings be next season?

People don't seem to be able to like a young man as a person, and respect him doing his best, while at the same time thinking he lacks the ability to be developed and to grow out of his poor thought patterns. These are 2 entirely different things. Like not exposing a young lady who you love and who dreams of being a beauty contestant because you don't want to see her dreams crushed because she is just lacking. You encourage her for a while just to make sure, and then if you really love her you will work with her to steer her ambitions to something she has a chance to succeed at. Life is full of these sort of realities, and pointing to the exceptions is invalid when 90% of the football knowdlegeable world sees that the upside simply is unlikely. The job of the LSU coaches is not to forge a path based on 10% likelihood, but to find a way that is at least 50-50, and hopefully in the 70+% range of success likelihood.
