Look at the fans raving over Rueben Randall catching a few short passes. He is not even close to what Julio was at the same time last year. Cody is fat, Fluker is big and has a huge frame. Put this kid in a college S&C program for a couple of years and he will be an ogre.

How is saying he is too fat and slow RIGHT NOW for the NFL insulting his potential?

Do you even think about what you type?

So you are saying he is not ready for the NFL right now?

Actually, it wasn't just fans. The scouts and recruiting services all seem to be impressed when he does these things while injured.

There are lots of guys in the NFL that get drafted on potential alone. They did not say he was ready to be an all star. Who cares what they said really. To deny Fluker's upside is rediculous. A guy like that can be as good as he wants to be.

They said he was ready for the NFL right now.

The person who started this thread. . .as well as YOU, since you clicked on it.

as ridiculous as your spelling?

Nobody is denying the kid has upside. I'd like to have him at LSU, for sure. The premise of the original post was a ludicrous statement made during the AAA game. When a guy is too fat and slow to stop a HS DE, it is absurd to then state that he is ready for the highest level of football.

Kid got beat like Tina Turner, but I think he'll be a decent starting LT in the SEC in a few years.

I'm going by what I see, man. Not what I am told.

I see a guy who needs to slim down and work on his quickness off the ball to be an LT. As it stands right now, he could be a pretty damn good starting RG, or an affable LT.

I am NOT trying to take sideways shots at Bama by saying this, just making my own observation. Bama fans are just far too sensitive, from what I have seen of the ones on this board NOT named BamaScoop.

Andre Smith got beat by guys and had trouble with others during his career. I think Fluker has more size and potential but like Andre is a run blocking pro style OL. If Bama threw the ball all over the place Smith would have given up more sacks.

You are so blinded by school loyalty you cannot view this objectively.

Further communications with you would be as fruitful as arguing with a LSU ranter.

Good day, sir.

The same could be said for your jealousy of Fluker not singing with LSU. Which would of raised your observations of him being decent to All American level.

Is it that hard for you to admit that your bias clouds your judgement?

Please locate ONE POST I have made about a recruit that was negative only after he didn't commit to LSU.

I raved about Julio Jones all last year, before AND after he committed to Bama. School committment does not alter my perception of a player one way or the other. The fact that YOU think it should tells me all I need to know about you and your insecurities.

Thanks for proving me right, amigo.
