Chaisson had a very salty-tough comment to Wilson when he chose Fla St!

Oh well that was their choice!
Jimbo put out the cash, just like he learned under Saban and with K Smart.

i'd love to have Cam in this offense... Marvin, not a huge loss...

Yea, I guarantee Jimbo aw this coming which played a role in his jumping ship. Sometimes, it's not about how many stars a kid has, it's about correct evaluation. They did a piss poor job of evaluating recruits while Jimbo was there.

you telling me cam akers wouldn't make a difference on LSU's team?
You mean they might even score 100 points in the first two games?

Coach O should use that in recruiting moving forward...

I seen some of their game be replayed yesterday on tv against ULM. Looked like maybe 15,000 at most .in stadium.They are about equal to Monroe. You talk about a bad business decision. We wanted these two bad .
Cam Akers would have been the man running in this offense, but he's still doing his thing over at FSU. He'll be picked fairly high in the draft too.
I don't know anything about Wilson though.

The belief that it does not matter which school you go not affecting your draft position is laughable. Some schools absolutely do a better job of coaching up players, especially at certain positions.
If you are "that dude", it does not matter what school you go to at the FBS level. If Fournette went to La Tech, he'd still have gone in the first round. Ed Oliver went to Houston, played in only 8 games as a junior, and still went in the top 10 picks.

Cam is a great back who made a bad decision or maybe one based on $$$$$$?

Akers is bigger, faster, stronger, and, at worst, as good a pass catcher as Helaire. Yes, I believe if Akers came here we'd be better running the ball. Akers as the #1 and Helaire as the #2, would have been a damn good combo. I also still think we could have gotten both Emery and Davis to come here

Its pretty incredible the amount of big name recruits that go elsewhere on signing day, that I truly believe if they could do it all over again, would choose LSU. There's a lot that wouldn't do things over again, I know. You have to think big Marv, Cam Akers, Hootie, Gerald Willis, Priest Willis (Y'all remember him?), Torshiro Davis, Shea Patterson, Tyron Johnson (xferred I know) would have been a senior this year right? Imagine him in this offense, and etc Etc. (could name a lot). I am not saying I know all these kids wish they could do it over, but one has to think. Regardless of the mediocre offense we had during Les years, we still had kids getting drafted. Defensive players from LSU usually always get a shot in the NFL.
You can probably say this about any school, but you are cherry picking guys who support your argument. You also need to consider guys like Landon Collins, Dwayne Haskins and Travis Etienne. All of whom you could not argue made a good choice to go elsewhere.
