I would take Quad early and then let the chips fall wherever they fall.
They better get a QB early. They cannot afford to have no QBs after the first signing period. They can't take the risk that a Qb leads them on, then they go two years without signing a QB. IF Quad is willing to sign, and he's as good as advertised, then you take him in the first wave. Any QB signing after that is lagniappe.

The only place he has been advertised up to this point is on tigerdroppings. And we all know the type of football experts that roam these parts.
I'm sure the stars are coming soon, but it hasnt happened yet.

This thread is still awesome. It's been truly unique getting to know an unknown prospect from the start, and watching his recruitment take off.
I just ignore the retards. I do it at work all day, so I can do it here too

This thread has been wonderful from the beginning. Im a fan of Quad, no matter where he ends up. There is no doubt he will have a chance to play QB at the college level, which very very few get to experience.
My problems come in with the way it seems the people closest to him seem to be taking things. At first, it was amazing LSU was contacting him. Now, that's not enough, when it seems that its the same thing that any other major program is doing as well. Almost get the feeling that the people who were wanting to help push him to LSU will be the reason he is now pushed away from LSU because the LSU staff isn't progressing at their pace. Also, the discrediting of other recruits that play QB is a bad look. I totally understand that the people closest to him will think he is the greatest QB recruit of all time. They are physically and emotionally invested in the kid. Any other QB recruit who would be represented on this board would feel the EXACT same way about their QB.

I just hope everyone realizes it's a marathon and not a sprint. Quad needs to take his time and exercise due diligence as does the LSU staff. Hopefully those advising him understand this as well. LSU rarely offers players that haven't been rated and/or camped yet. There's a process.

When it comes to QBs, it's kind of a sprint. QBs typically commit earlier than the other positions.
Waiting to see guys camp of course makes sense but they don't really have a lot of time after that. Can't let it get to fall again with no QB commits.

Good point, but I can certainly understand waiting till his rating comes out and getting more time to see him perform.

Then what is it about? It started as a thread about a under the radar recruit that the OP wanted to get recognized by LSU. Its served that purpose. Then transitioned into updates of his recruiting. That is still what's being talked about.
Look pages and pages back, I warned that this would get messy when it picked up steam with Quad and LSU.
I didn't agree at all with CP3 when he derailed it for a little while putting down Quad's abilities. I agreed that this thread wasn't for that, but I don't think what we have been talking about is off topic from the direction the thread was going. Should the thread just be Coach telling us what is happening in his recruitment and us not discussing it? Not everything is rainbows all the time.
Posted on 2/16/18 at 1:43 pm to Hold That Tiger 10
On the topic of what the thread is/was for or about, when it started to delve into putting down LSU QB's of the past and present, as well as current HS kids, to build up another, that's when I really took offence. You just put it a whole lot nicer than I did haha
Personally, and I know I have a large hand in it, I found this thread much more enjoyable when it was just about the journey and not "he's better than this guy, or that guy" and "oh yeah that guy really isn't that good." Etc etc.

What if one of the QB recruits is a family member or friend of that poster? Would it then be OK?

And how would I be taking things? I am the only person posting here with a personal relationship with Quad.
If you are referring to the last week or so, I will try to re-iterate what I said the other day, but a little more clearly: Things he's been told and things I have been told do not add up to actions taken. No feelings are hurt, I am just letting you guys know things as they happen without getting too intimate on the details.

I want to be clear that I am not going to push Quad one way or another. I think by my post a few weeks ago, it should be crystal clear where my heart is, and my job is to let him see.I have done that. Frankly at this point my job is done regarding supporting an LSU commitment. It is up to the staff to close the deal at this point, and the process is what it is. LSU can take as much time as they want. If he ends up a Tiger thats great! If LSU's process doesn't match up with what Quad feels comfortable with relative to others schools process that is something I can't change either way.
But there will be no pushing him one way or another.
Again I am simply updating you guys as things happen.

I have not discredited one QB on this site. Ever. I did at one point say that I thought Quad would ultimately be better than anyone we have had, and I also apologized for posting that. But again, even saying that it is not trashing another QB. I think LSU has had some great QB talent, and has great QB talent now.
The only other fact that I stated regarding QB was that his rating coming out is higher than another QB that LSU recruited heavily. A QB that just passed on LSU. That isn't trashing that QB it is stating a material fact.

Haven't said that or think that. I do believe he has a VERY bright future. I have never said he is the greatest QB recruit of all time.

Speaking of Updates: Quad just dropped 23 points and grabbed 8 boards in another playoff win.
And his March Schedule is the following:
3/10: Arkansas
3/17: Vanderbilt
3/24: Duke
3/25: Elite 11 begins
Thats my last post until after Elite 11.

There is another poster, who has not posted in a little while, who seems heavily invested (he is the one that claims to know you personally). He is the one I was referring to when talking about bashing other QB recruits. Maybe he doesn't know Quad on the level you do, but his post are being lumped together with yours. Maybe wrongfully so.

This wasn't a shot at you at all. Just saying I understand where you are at in the situation. I fully get that to every kids dad, coach, uncle, brother, will view him to be better than he actually is. Thats human nature. The stronger arm than Jamarcus and better than Winston comments is what led to me making that statement (and I get that some of those things may have been told to you by others and you just brought the info....still, its a lack of reality in my opinion).

Can you please link us to this rating? If someone TOLD you he is rated higher, but it doesnt show up anywhere, they were possibly blowing smoke up your arse. Im not saying he won't be an amazing college QB at all. I really really hope he is, wherever he goes (unless he is playing LSU). Just seems like a lot of people are saying...saying..saying..and saying...but nobody is doing. If he was better than Winston with a Jamarcus arm, he would be all over recruiting sites, is all I'm saying.

Winstons dad is the one that said this about Quad relative to JW.
The Jamarcus comment was made by an NFL Scout guy that works with Qb's for a living and has a long track record for knowing what he is talking about.

I sure would love to. Maybe the are blowing smoke. They work for Rivals. Seems sort of risky on there part to tell me they are going to be rated a certain rating, and then to not post it like they said they would. All I know is the guy drove down to see him in person, and said his rating would be posted soon. He told me in detail what the rating was. Maybe he is lying. I am still waiting on him to post all of Quads offers which 247 has posted accurately. So maybe he's just busy. Who knows?
Posted on 2/16/18 at 4:28 pm to Hold That Tiger 10
Tiger, you put it perfectly with the saying saying saying and not doing statement. I would also say the other poster is much more at fault, he's basically laughed at LSU for offering Gunnell and Tyson, two of the better QB's in the class. That's just way to far out there, and kind of an eyebrow raiser.

Oh and someone asked if I had talked to Sonny or Shea about getting him a 247 profile.
I asked a few times and never got a response. Then the Alabama guy from 247 reached out to Quad and made one for him. Its on there. His offers reflect. Just waiting on the rating.
Sonny also reached out to me for an interview for Quad about a month ago, and I responded with the info requested. BUT nothing happened with that either. Not sure what happened there.
