3* who made it to the elite 11 finals.. I'd say he's not half bad.

Don't get so caught up in the star ratings. As I understand it, it's a measure of the IMPACT a player can have on a program not necessarily their talent level. LSU doesn't need an impact QB, the just need someone who makes good decisions with the football and has to smarts to grasp the offense.

True. But in recruiting - that's what makes the world go 'round.

I may have to disagree with you there. I feel we need a QB who can make an impact on the game, be a leader. Making the right reads, throwing the ball decisively, not turning it over, and not taking sacks at the most inopportune moments of a game. These are impactful things. Being a robot and just "managing" the game is not what I want to see out of a QB.

As much as I hate to say it - watching Coker (ugh) and Watson last night lead their teams was something to see. Especially Watson. There was no quit in that kid. Give him the ball and another minute on the clock and he would have beaten Alabama.

Agree. If he would have been a Bama recruit he would have went up to at least a 4 star.

There it goes the old cliche about a serviceable QB to not make mistakes. Why ? frick all this and lets go and get a bad arse QB and kick some arse... Why not get the next A. Rodgers if we can, or if we just recruit harder for proper pro-style QB's?
