I feel the same way bro. LSU hasn't had its golden years of football yet and I I've been saying that. I love what O and this staff are doing with recruiting by taking a national approach coast to coast and really capitalize off of our brand (which is highly respected, deservingly so). The ousting of Joe alleva and the subsequent hiring of scott Woodward as AD is going to end up being the event that springboards our football program to new and unchartered territory. It's an exciting time to be an LSU tiger fan. Geaux Tigers.

Without actually looking, I seem to remember that we had cbs for this kid about a year ago. So, yes, they don't just cb kids that will be seniors.

Kid is built like someone who did a couple years of hard time at Angola.

This plus he is a little slow diagnosing and responding. That will come with time.

It's Kendrick.

I was wondering why I couldn't find any Kendall highlights on You Tube, even tho a shitload of Kendrick highlights were coming up in the results. I thought maybe the players might be related.

Then I rechecked your 247 LINK...

You need to change this from Kendall to Kendrick. His name is Kendrick. His momma call him Kendrick, that's what Ima call him, Kendrick.

His film is super impressive... usually you see LBers his age who are athletic freaks... but this kid has amazing technique with his steps, diagnosing the play, and shedding tackles. The only thing I question is his speed and flexibility but he’s a freak

First of all this thread title needs to be corrected with his correct name, Kendrick.

That's the least that should be done. Aside from that, I've made the same observations that you stated.

For a 16 year old kid, it is apparent that he has received some pretty good coaching on how to play ILB, and he has real good mobility for his size.

It would be great to see him suit up in purple and gold, and I can't imagine a lot of RB's will look forward to meeting this guy running through a hole up the middle.

This kid is going to be a thumper even if he does physically outgrow the ILB position. From what film I've seen though, he is definitely more than a good enough athlete to continue playing ILB at a very high level.
