What's the recruiting pitch to Shea Patterson

Look at all of the talent around you. With only half a brain we can send you to the NFL.

I've never understood why it has always been so difficult for LSU to constantly have to work so hard to find a half decent QB.

Be all Peyton Manning was and is, plus be adored at LSU as well.

What's the recruiting pitch to Shea Patterson

Duckie's 2 step process to sign Shea:

1. Don't let OM hire his brother;

2. Hire his brother as QB coach when they allow another assistant on staff.

when we already have Felipe committed?

they are different QB's

if they are both good enough to play, they'll likely play

Its close to home and your brother works here

So far his other favorites are USC and Ole Miss. I think he would be great in both of those systems and would pass a lot more.

At USC he will be competing against many high level QBs. Max Browne, Ricky Town, and Sam Darnold are top level QBs, and all will be ahead of him in experience.

At Ole Miss, he won't have much of a competition, but if he wants to win a championship while playing with top notch talent, that's going to be near impossible. Ole Miss' window is almost closed as they will lose a shite load of top talent next year.

With LSU, he is near family (beats USC) and is loaded at every position and will be even more after 2016 (beats Ole Miss). We are pretty much a QB away from a national championship and that beats a hell of a lot of other teams.


Off Topic -
IMO, Harris wins the job and starts two and possibly even three years. Patterson is polished enough to play as a true freshman (albeit he would have plenty mistakes like all true freshman QBs do). If he doesn't want to come here, I believe Franks is more than capable after a redshirt year.

Franks is similar to Winston and Patterson is similar to Murray. I'd take either, but would rather have both.

...we TIGAHS , brah ! Are you strong , if you strong , TIGAHS strong , so we strong ! Yeah ! ....

If the competition scares him away then he isn't a true competitor. Franks might be playing baseball anyway. Personally I hope LSU pursues the kid from Teurlings.
