re: My thoughts on the Kevin Steele hire

The NFL CBA...? You don't think it's odd that the mass exodus of LSU juniors to the NFL began the season immediately following the new rookie wage scale in the NFL? If you're a late round draft prospect, it's really not worth sticking around to improve your draft stock anymore.

Get drafted, perform at the next level, and get your second contract. That's all it is anymore.



As far as Quarterbacks, it's all about recruiting.

Under Les Miles, the following players have signed LOIs:
Jimbo Fisher
Ryan Perrilloux #1 QB, #6 National
Jarrett Lee #8 QB, #117 National

Gary Crowton
Jordan Jefferson #12 QB, #324 National
Russell Shepard #1 ATH, #3 National
Chris Garrett #19 QB, #492 National
Zach Lee #18 QB, #348 National
Zach Mettenberger #1 QB, #4 National (JUCO)
Jerrard Randall #8 QB, #186 National
Stephen Rivers #20 QB, #617 National

Greg Studrawa/Steve Kragthorpe
Jeremy Liggins #19 ATH, #263 National
Hayden Rettig #9 QB, #152 National
Anthony Jennings #14 QB, #213 National

Cam Cameron
Brandon Harris #3 QB, #75 National
Justin McMillan #36 QB, UR National
Feleipe Franks #1 QB #45 National
Zadock Dinkelmann Class of '18 unranked

You think it's a coincidence that QB recruiting has been elite when we've had an experienced and knowledgable QB Coach/OC, and it's been terrible when we've had a QB Coach/OC that couldn't keep a job at fricking Maryland?
