I mean pff has been a pretty good indicator for the guys we’ve gotten over the past few seasons

Jardin Gilbert, Bauer sharp, Jakeem Jackson, just to name a few all had bad grades and got here and pretty much solidified that

It’s not like anyone here has watched 90% of these transfer targets play a snap. PFF is a good, mostly objective starting point to get a sense of who these guys are. Otherwise the default on every thread turns into crowning the player and calling him the missing piece based on measurables, recruiting rankings, or how experienced they are.

Except I don’t say dumb shite. I just want to talk ball and give my opinion, which will never be slanted toward lsu, but will always be well thought out. Don’t give a frick what you like.

Exactly. It’s just a snap shot & introduction of the player. Anyone is free to draw their own conclusion

That is a great question, although not shocked given the poster, who consistently gives emotionally-fueled clown takes. I generally would never notice, however he is not shy about how confidently he says dumb shite lol.


Everyone here knows who you are and what your game is. I don’t disagree with everything you say, but the constant straw man arguments and attempts paint your self as the lone voice of reason here get really fricking old.

Also, anyone here would be a fricking idiot to take LE’s opinion over Lane and Glasscock, which is all I said. That is just plain, objective truth. Sorry you don’t approve.

PFF grades seem solid enough but Bama fans seemed thrilled to see him enter the portal.

I know absolutely nothing about him, but we need bodies at this point, especially experienced SEC bodies.

ETA: the Lester hate is always funny. I only really disagree with him when he's trying (imo) a little too hard to be objective and comes off sligthly negative about an LSU guy, but I understand why he says what he says.

Tons of people just see it as pure hate and negativity

ETA 2: like I understood the Harlem Berry WR post on here last year I saw the vision, I just disagreed with it. Is he someone who should be used out wide in the pass game? Yes. Should he exclusively be a WR? No. I talked to a bunch of guys who coached against him in HS and they basically all said he needs to be used like Reggie Bush (well aware of the competition - twas the district I played in my whole life lol).

His SEC experience and versatility make him well worth going after.

Based on his grades he would’ve been our best OL

Not saying much but is noteworthy

two things

posting PFF grades without comment should not be considered "my opinion". This is your insecurity manifesting itself.

secondly. who is pushing anyone to take my opinion over Lane Kiffin or Glasscock? Are you drunk?

I saw a twitter post that Weston Davis had the highest pass blocking grade in the country the last 3 weeks of the season. Run blocking grade was poor, but he's got potential.

I really want to get Heard and convince Curne to come back and play guard. It's a shame Brad Davis was a great recruiter but such a terrible coach.

Haven't seen anything on LSU's interest in Heard but I have seen Tenn let him walk because he wants a number way above market value.

I say Percy Harvin, but yeah. He's either a WR or a gadget-type back like this. Kiffin's offense will definitely create more space for him vs the atrocity from this past year.

My post obviously came before yours so I didn’t know you would limit yourself to PFF grades this time.

Just because that’s all you posted on Formby doesn’t mean you stop yourself there all the time. Berry proved to be a fine 1B RB even as an undersized true freshman despite your protests and rants at anyone who said different. His pass-catching abilities don’t negate that. Adams is already getting looks from other SEC programs as a Tackle despite your dismissive analysis of him and refusal to put any weight on the low penalty (compared to the rest of the OL) and sack numbers.

You have your defenders here, but they most certainly aren’t in the majority. Enjoy them, I guess.
