I would question if a person that pussy whipped would succeed at a higher level.
I've know guys like this. When they find out she was banging her tennis instructor they are devastated. Guys that allow girlfriends to dictate where they go in life are pussies, either Boutte can be one or he can man the frick up and drive an hour to Lafayette and go see his girl or be one of those guys.

Again if you think it is all coaching and not talent, then it doesn't matter if we lose Boutte, we can just pluck some guy committed to La Tech and plug him in.
I didn't say that. I said talent + coaching + competition will get you drafted higher unless you are an unbelievably talented player. 99% of college football players aren't though.

You are also acting like development stops in college. Pro coaches can develope as well and they don;t have the restrictions that they do in college
No I'm not. Talented players will succeed in the NFL, however the guy who is more developed and is a higher draft pick will have more advantages to make a team. Obviously there are exceptions to the rule.

You are missing the point of the anolgy. LSU will take more talented guys from small schools and bad teams over lesser talented guys from big schools, so will the NFL. In both cases the guys at the higher level will develope the player
I'm not missing the analogy, I just don't think it is that great of an analogy.

Stop w the logical posts. One of the top OL recruits is clearly dropping lsu to play at ull. Thats the only explanation

There is no way Hudspeth and staff will be there by the time the kids they will sign next week graduate. If he is still there, it means they will have had some $hitty seasons...

A very low % of college players make the NFL and I still think talent is the over riding factor. I'd agrue the more talented players go to the bigger programs because those programs have better coaching, player better competition etc. Players at all postions from non BSC programs get drafted every year, so it is not an anomoly.

Those advantages are marginal. The higher picks have a better chance to make the team in part because the team has more invested in them and in part because they are probalby better. It is still all up to the player.

You sound like a flat earther calling people that say the earth is round morons. All you have to do is look at past NFL drafts. Current NFL rosters to see. More players from big schools like LSU get drafted, because those schools have more talented players. If your point that it is not talent, but rather coaching and developement, then it does not matter if LSU gets him or not.
Ease up mate. I think the poster was saying that talent alone doesn't get you to the NFL. The coaching you receive at the college level does play a part in developing talent and sharpening skill sets.

Boutte girlfriend goes to UL and there is some rumblings about being to far away from her

I agree, talented players succeed in the NFL, however those players have more advantages and opportunities to make it to the NFL at top tier programs.

It may seem marginal to you, but the fact is NFL teams will give more chances to someone they have more invested in.
There will always be guys from smaller schools that make it in the NFL. But there is no doubt that schools like LSU, Alabama, UF, OSU, etc... provide kids with advantages and opportunities to make it in the NFL that smaller schools can't offer (coaching, top of the line training and weight programs, academic support, being seen by scouts often, etc...)
In the end a lot of it falls on the individual, but there is a reason those teams can use their record of getting kids drafted as a recruiting tool.

good god. lafayette is 45 min.s from br. it takes longer to get to the other side of houston on a non rush hour time. he would have the best of both worlds; shes close enough to see her as often as he would like yet far enough away to get away with some things without getting caught.

the question is would you trade Boutte/Lawson for Nkimdeche/Kamara?
Posted on 2/1/13 at 10:26 am to Byron Bojangles III
With this class, I'd take boutte over RN...as we saw this past year, you can't win with poor ol play

There's major concern
While Boutte may be a risk to defect, I doubt there's a viable concern here.
A decision to attend ULL over LSU is not a girlfriend issue, it's a maturity issue.
And I doubt anyone on our staff would want to rest the future of the offensive line and the program on a kid that could seriously consider it.
There's always freshmen that get homesick. But, most get to campus first, and most of them are coming from more than 75 miles.
