Harris 4*.
Perriloux 5*
Jefferson 4*
Lee 4*
Jennings 4*
Scott 3*
McMillan 3*
Retting 4*
Mettenberg 4*
J. Randall 4*
Rivers 3*

All had multiple offers coming out of High School and came to LSU. As I said, talent wasn't an issue it was development that was the issue.

Except for Mett, none of those guys listed would be conspired legit QB’s in the NFL, not even bench warmers. Am I right?

Yep and I stated guys like Manziel, Darren Thomas, Bridgewater, Prescott, and RG3 as guys who wanted to come here too. Several places wanted these guys, minus Bridgewater, as DBs, WRs, or TEs, LSU included. How did these guys develop from the stigmatism of being athletes playing QB to guys putting up 30+ passing TDs in a single year? Any of these guys would have been considered the best QB in LSU history had they come here.

Pat Mahomes and Baker Mayfield were QBs that barely any school wanted, yet they dominated at the college level. It's about development.
