Dropped balls are nothing that can’t be fixed with LSU level training in 1 summer he’d be catching 1 handers.

I remember saying, before we had any idea Rakim might flip, that I thought Boutte was the best of all of our WR commits. Didn't seem like anyone thought much of that comment, either way. But when you compare these two on video, Boutte is a FAR superior athlete, in terms of having speed, quickness, and jumping ability. And there was no sign, that I could see, that Rakim had better hands or was a better route runner. Pretty much all he had on Kayshon was height. But, again, Kayshon's ability to high point makes up for that.
I said the same as well on here also saying I liked Burton more than Jarrett. That's not to say that I didn't think he would be great just that I thought the other two were better. Boutte and Gibbs are guys I thought were very underrated by the recruiting guys, but at the end of the day, it's all about them being here.

You're such a damn hypocrite. It's ok for you to constantly talk shite about a certain poster on this site without ever having met him, isn't it? Or how about all the shite you've talked about Brennan for the last year? Look in the mirror, man.

Well idk about all this but I never did think missing out on the two WRs would ever make any difference for this program or team, only the recruiting rankings. I definitely trust our staff to fill the rest of the class with quality players at positions of need.
If they don’t fill this class then they just didn’t see the right players to offer. They might see something more useful in the transfer pool or they may see that they can fill it next year with better talent while also looking at next years JUCO and possible transfer classes.
There’s more than one way to fill your roster with quality talent that will help your programs future. The classes of 2021 and 2022 should be our best two classes and set us up for lots of future success. Next years class should be almost all depth with few needing to start unless they just can’t be passed up because of their immense talent.
I hope Ed O and his staff can convince these juniors who aren’t quite ready to stay for an extra year. It makes a huge difference. It sure has made a difference in this season. If they’re actually ready then sure go for it but guys like Chassion, Stevens, Moss, Phillips, Farrell, and Logan should all stay for another season. Delpit, Jefferson, CEH and the seniors of course should go and will go. Shelvin is close but it wouldn’t hurt him to come back either. I think they need two good or great seasons before leaving. Even if all they gain is another year to mature, it’ll help them in the NFL.

I think Chassion and Stevens should go ...Chassion is a projected first rounder and Stevens is never gonna be great in coverage...he is what he is .
Posted on 1/1/20 at 7:59 am to 2003tigerfan
I definitely agree that Stevens will never be great in coverage but he sure could get better in that aspect while also improving his draft stock.
Chassion just hasn’t had all that much time in college to go straight to the NFL and he could work with either our staff, a specialist or both in the offseason, on his pass rushing skills. He locks up with the OL far too often without being able to get off the block.
I think he could be a top 5 pick with another year. If he’s projected first round then sure, go for it. He definitely can and will improve with more time.

You’re on a message board trashing an 18yo kid for dropping a few passes. Reevaluate your perspective.

quote:An incredibly ignorant and illogical post.
I trust this staff. They've earned it.
ETA: Obviously Jarrett chose to flip and the staff had nothing to do with it. The "I trust this staff" is directed at those who trashed our staff after we lost some "big time" recruits.
The staff wanted Rakim Jarrett. He flipped.
LSU lost a big time recruit. That's a fact.
The staff was severely disappointed about the loss.
You want to justify the loss by noting that he dropped some passes in practice.
The staff would love to have signed this kid. The staff is still severely disappointed about the loss.
While I "trust the staff" to recruit well, there is nothing about what happened with Rakim Jarrett to make anyone "trust the staff." They wanted him; they lost him.

quote:I haven’t studied every snap but I don’t think this is true. Especially in the season’s second half, I’ve seen him get pressure with speed rushes, power rushes where he’s pushed back the OT and shed him, and with stunts. The staff has moved him around a lot, too.
He locks up with the OL far too often without being able to get off the block.

On paper he was a loss. The more of him we see, it’s looking like not so much

Your first time on this website?
Posters bash players, coaches, recruits, administration, pretty much everything is criticized. I'm surprised this is the first time you have noticed. I haven't seen you saying anything about it in the other hundreds or thousands of threads that do the same thing.
I think it is better to bash a player that spurned LSU than one that committed, signed or is looking at LSU like happens multiple times every day.
Have you visited any Zach Evans threads and told posters to reevaluate their perspective? The Kayshon Boutte recruiting threads? The Max Johnson and TJ Finley threads when everyone wanted to drop them? Hell they probably still do but I don't remember anyone's perspective being questioned.

Bc I put equal value on character, leadership and intangibles as I do a star rating?
Kids who lack those things typically don’t become great or elite players
