Are Thomas Perry and Joseph Evans under rated?

I know that LSU has had a good success rate on these low ranked guys in the past

Do we?

Good questions and I've also been wondering about them (Evans more than Perry).

Right but look at every other 3 star in Cush’s class.

I think They combine for like 0 starts outside Culp who started by default.


And Moreau’s class the second best in there is Magee, and Moreau is more of a grinder than an all star.

I watched Perry when ND played Teurlings and the kid looked good. They got beat pretty bad by ND but, individually, he handled his assignments.

A 247 mod saw Perry recently and said he is sound but lacked a mean streak (so, not like Kardell Thomas if that makes sense).

Evans is interesting, he's probably at least a little better than his ranking but by how much is a huge question, he didn't really do a lot of offseason stuff to get noticed. I dont think Evans is a Top 200/300 player, but maybe Top 500.

OK I just looked at the 2017 class, most recent class that we can get a good read on as the 2018 is to early to tell anything.

The bottom 5 are Justin Jefferson: superstar in the making,
Tory Carter: monster FB and great get by the staff (I at the time seriously questioned why are we wasting a schollie. Lesson learned, staff knows best), Moffit: special situation, Stewart: don't even know what happened to him, Kirkland: looks like he is going to be a good player for LSU. Staff really seems to like him as they are trying to get him involved in the offense.


So taking out Stewart and Moffit as they really don't count due to circumstances and add in the #6 and #7 guys to fill out the bottom 5.

Racey McMath: guy seems to be talented but we are have way to many potential superstars at the position. They are trying him at TE, which I like the move. Could be a good asset at TE.

Justin Thomas: DE, to early to tell. Doesn't seem to be a bust though and may contribute in the future.

and if you go to the bottom 10, it still looks real good. Didn't realize how good that class was, or could be, until I just looked at it.


if Tyler Shelvin would get his shite together that class would really be super solid. Doesn't look like any complete misevaluations in that class.

I’ve watched Evans play the past few years. I really don’t know if he’s underrated or not, but I can tell you he’s going to be a good one. Smart, high character, hardworking kid. He has very little fat on his 300lb frame. He has tree trunk thighs and has a quick burst off the line of scrimmage. It’s rare to see guys 300+ at the high school level with his type of quickness. He has been beating double teams all year and still has the ability to make plays in the backfield. He reminds me a little bit of Davin Cotton the DT from last years signing class. Similar body type and both quick burst off the line.

I agree The 2017 class looks better for 3 stars even if you point out that FBs are generally all 3*s and Carter was #3 FB in the nation (#2 if you count #1 switching to LB)

sorry about the above post (the one I posted) as I was writing it while you were posting and didn't read your eval until after I had posted.

My sauces have told me perry is a freak, could play basketball easily with his athleticism. He just doesn’t have a mean streak.

Idk about Evans
