re: A'montae Spivey - Official Offer from LSU

Outside of 4 power 5 schools, he has a ton of mid major offers. Not impressive. Probably pretty telling that he’s been scouted a ton due to being Parishes RB and still barely qualifies to be a 3 Star. Hard pass. I’d rather not even use the scholarship.

Tell the truth, did you watch his film against top competition?

Did you watch Noah Cain's film against top competition?

Who do you think looked better? We know Spivey is bigger, so who looked faster? Who looked more elusive?

Doesn't matter. Cain has five stars next to his name and Spivey has 3. That's the end of the conversation.

There's no way NFLU7 is over the age of 18.

Come on down Spivey! If Emery wants to dick around with being a cog in a loaded Georgia backfield, well, then that's his arse because he definitely won't be the main RB at Georgia like he wants to be. Spivey is a really good, underrated RB imo, LSU would be happy to have him.

The kid barely cracked the top 1000 players and is ranked 1380 on 247. He’s the 64th rated running back but keep telling yourselves that he just must be underrated and misevaluated even though his teammate is a top DT QB.

this board's love/hate relationship with stars is always enjoyable....

"YES WE GOT THE #1 WR IN THE COUNTRY!!!!"

"you know stars are so meaningless, I watched this guy's tape (you mean highlight reel) and he is a legit 4 star AT LEAST" or "ehh give me the 3 star kid that will work super hard over those 5 star primadonnas"

Foster Moreau was rated as the 1,984th best player in the country. He has turned out to be okay as a player. And LSU has a player that was rated as the 2,164th player in the country who is projected to start in only his second season. The NFL's leading rusher this year was a 2 or 3-star recruit of HS. So I certainly see why you would attempt to knock a RB of all positions to make some unimaginable point.

6 of LSU's lowest ranked recruits the last 10 years have played in the NFL.


This is an article done by the 24/7 guy (Shea Dixon) who runs the LSU page/site or whatever it is called.

This is just the LOWEST rated recruit for each class the last 10 years excluding JUCOs and special teams players - kickers, long snappers, punters.

2008: Lavar Edwards No. 959 overall prospect, No. 32 in Louisiana
He was a fifth round pick in the NFL Draft by the Tennessee Titans

2009: Josh Williford No. 1,066 overall prospect, No. 34 in Alabama
Injuries forced him to call off his football career. He served out his final year on campus as a student coach for the Tigers in 2013.

2010: Alfred Blue No. 66 RB, No. 758 overall prospect, No. 19 in Louisiana
a sixth round NFL Draft selection by the Houston Texans, where he was on roster from 2014-17.

2011: Ronald Martin No. 43 CB, No. 624 overall prospect, No. 24 in Louisiana
signed by the Seattle Seahawks as an unrestricted free agent following the 2015 NFL Draft. He’s since spent time in the NFL with the Seahawks, the New York Jets, the Baltimore Ravens and two stints with the Indianapolis Colts.

2012: Kavahra Holmes No. 86 WR, No. 763 overall prospect, No. 30 in Louisiana
announced he was transferring out of LSU

* A side note, the second-lowest ranked recruit in LSU’s class that year was Jalen Mills, who went on to start immediately as a true freshman at LSU and was a starter in the secondary for the Super Bowl Champion Philadelphia Eagles this past year.

2013: Duke Riley No. 42 OLB, No. 539 overall prospect, No. 22 in Louisiana
he went on to be selected in the third round of the NFL Draft with the No. 75 overall pick by the Atlanta Falcons.

2014: Russell Gage No. 74 ATH, No. 898 overall prospect, No. 32 in Louisiana
LSU’s Pro Day in April catapulted him up NFL Draft boards, with many mock drafts pointing to Gage as a late-round steal for an NFL team.

2015: Foster Moreau No. 74 TE, No. 1,984 overall prospect, No. 86 in Louisiana
a multi-year starter at tight end who is now one of the team’s veteran leaders - and certainly a name in the mix to take over the No. 18 jersey. Moreau’s slated to start at tight end again for LSU this fall.

2016: Lloyd Cushenberry No. 82 OG, No. 1,522 overall prospect, No. 71 in Louisiana
Fast forward two years and Cushenberry is now the heir apparent to Ethan Pocic and Will Clapp as the team’s next starting center, a position he took the first-team reps at this spring.

2017: Justin Jefferson No. 308 WR, No. 2,164 overall prospect, No. 76 in Louisiana
It appears Jefferson will be a starter for the Tigers during his sophomore season next fall.

---

And none of these players were ranked in the top 20 at their positions. Even the five that have ALREADY played in the NFL. If Gage gets drafted (HE DID) that will be six of the 10 lowest rated recruits to play in the NFL. With Moreau, Cushenberry and Jefferson still playing at LSU.

The information below is from JUST the 2017 NFL pro bowl.

Tom Brady wasn't a ranked prospect coming out of high school.

He did a little research surrounding this year's Pro Bowl roster. He found 37 of the 88 players headed to the NFL Pro Bowl were 3-star or lower recruits. Interesting stuff.
