John Curtis and LSU

this will be good

Why do we have to do this today?

Yeha I remember C Stewart being a 4 star and coming to LSU.

Also we ahd a Kicker from Curtis....I think that rumor started with Joe Mcknight and it was centered around JC not getting a job on the staff at the time and he was mad at LSU.

I am not sure this is true or not. BUt I hope not. Quality feeder school.

JT is not a fan of LSU. I believe this is related to Johnny Curtis not getting a scholarhisp when Arnsparger or Archer was the head coach.Johnny ended up at Miss. St. I think we want Young and possibly Dupre next year; if we get them fine, if not, c'est la vie.

One thing he does like is Cable-Lock foundation repair.

I went to school with J. T. and my nephew is in the 8th grade, fast as lightning, can run and throw.
He would never try and control a young man, he is a good teacher in and out of the classroom. Remember when he was offered an asst. coaching job with LSU.

LSU had to get Riley this year because we needed a connection with JC players next year.

Don't take anything away from Duke. Kid is a helluva player. Worked hard and earned it. Very instinctive LB.

I was in JT's office once and met a tall lanky kid. JT said afterwards "That kid is a special talent." Turns out it was Malachi Dupre. I would imagine it would take a lot for him to say something like that about a player.

He is close with Nick Saban and Jimbo Fisher though. Take that how you want.

That is true, originating from Saban's tenure at LSU.

I've heard this rumor and have a hard time believing it. At the same time, I don't think that JC is an automatic pipeline to LSU, Bama or FSU. From what I know, JC first and foremost is committed to winning their own games over selling their players to college.

It's fairly common knowledge that JC generally is more of a system oriented program than one that builds around a particular athlete(s). That may change a little if an exceptional player (McKnight, Dupre) is around. But their success at producing impact players in college is far less than their on the field success as a program.

That's not knocking the program at all. In fact, it's a testament to a true team-first concept. In that light I think they do produce well disciplined players who will thrive under the right college coaching.

But I do think that Riley is a hidden gem and it doesn't hurt he comes from Curtis. CLM and FW would be wise to show their face regularly around there.....
