re: Any news on if Diarse could sway any recruits on the fence ?

I personally thought Landon was the #1 player in the country last year. Sure he needs some coaching(who doesn't) but his athletic skills are off the charts. He deserved the rankings he had. He's a top of the line S prospect. Some even said the best pure S prospect ever. Not sure I go with that but he's up there. I'd have him above Cravens this year.

Doubt it. Collins didn't play in that game, he played in the Under Armour AA game in St. Pete.

Yes, it was that game as it turns out. Other than that do you have a point or just being a smart arse? The game was televised...both of them were, and the play I described where he tried to knock down the RB on the sidelines happened and he got put down on his arse. Maybe you think it makes a difference whether that occured in Florida or Texas...actually it makes 0 difference.

Just because it's taking him longer than expected to make the change to WR & LSU hasn't had the greatest passers while he's been trying to do it, don't think he isn't a threat.

First, what kind of passer he has/doesn't have has 0 to do with being tackled with a sneeze or being bodyslammed on tackles. The guy never developed any strength. Second, funny how with admittedly bad QBs throwing to him, his balls always came up short while it didn't happen to everyone else. That tells me the guy ran his routes poorly. So, he is NOT good after the catch, NOT a great route runner, and NOT a great blocker. The guy has one great asset...straightaway speed, but doesn't have great avoidance moves like Odell Bechkham has. I believe Beckham was a medium 4* on Rivals...Shepard was a 5* on Rivals I think although he slipped down spots during the recruiting season. Bottom line for me...Shepard is probably a high 3* at best out of HS. NOT a 4*, certainly nothing approaching a 5*. And if you watched the UnderArmour skills competition for QB, he finished I believe dead last in the QBs...ball flutters like a quail having been shot and during the moving target skills test, he was way behind in even throwing to the targets which means he probably winds up like Jordan Jefferson to even release the ball.

I think he was just trying to call you an idiot regardless of the impact location had on an individual's performance.

IMO I think BigEd is right on when comparing Hootie to LC and PP7 as that type of athlete. However, that's where the comparisons Stop...Although LC did deserve his 5* as a safety prospect I believe Hootie has a higher upside than LC does and will most likely turn out to be a better prospect for LSU than LC if Hootie decides to go there. I've watched most of LC film and he's more of a box type safety whereas Hootie has ball skills you rarely find in a safety. From what I've read (Rivals 7on7) Hootie played corner the whole time there and was said to be the top player on the southwest team. He could be one of the best safety prospects to ever play in the purple and gold if he attends LSU.

Wow, that is your entire point...that I named the wrong all star game? Hey idiot, why don't you tell me the play I'm talking about didn't occur? I can also tell you that Collins intercepted a pass that was overthrown to the receiver several yards in front of him and went right to him. Guy, if YOU don't keep up with the players and what they did/didn't do, NOT my problem!

---

I like how you completely disregard the fact that he had an interception and it was not as easy as you make it seem. Also he had several tackles including stoning a RB on the goal line to prevent a TD. I'm mad that he went to Bama too, but I can still see that he is a great athlete and a good if not great player at this point.

Now, it becomes clear...another great conspiracy guy. The other day, a poster accused me of being "max" whoever the hell that is. The bottom line...the uninformed typically accuse people who disagree with their opinion of being imposters...either alias of someone else, a bama plant, etc.

You're overuse of ellipses gives you away.

quote:

Uh, I was the wrong who mentioned the INT to begin with...so exactly how does that mean I disregarded the INT.

---

You acted like it was 0% skill on Collins' part and the ball was just handed to him by the QB.

Uh, hate to tell you, but a lot of people use that same technique.

Yeah, and they all seem to be stupid trolls. Funny coincidence
