If Jonathon's last name wasn't McKnight, no one would be talking about him as posibly being one of the top players in the state next yea


thats just stupid


you are telling me a 6'1" 180lb CB that intercepted 7 INTS as a JR and returned a few punts as well as scored on offense wouldnt be getting any notice?


shite Robby Green wasnt the player Jon McKnight is and he signed with Bama and was getting heavy praise after his JR year.

who are you trying to kid?

McKnight is a decent prospect,
will probably go to an SEC school
probably not LSU though (doubt we offer)

Showing an example where the faster guy wasn't the best doesn't really show anything.


Shows that he was a 5* and didn't pan out. Whereas the lower ranked *'s did.

40 times measure football speed and do it pretty accurately (although not perfectly). Speed is very important. I can't imagine that you would argue with that.


I can argue the Wendell Davis was one of the slower WR to play LSU and no one could cover him.

Ryan Clark was and still is slow. Last time I checked, hes still playing in the NFL.

he already has an offer from Bama, so its safe to say he'll go to an SEC school. LSU is on his list. They'll prob offer

alabama offered and took robbie green, so it wouldn't surprise me that they would take Jonathon M. I don't think LSU would make an early offer to him, He should be a top 20 prospect in the state by the time it's said and done next year though.

When did sfp bring the moronathon to the recruiting board? His posts on this board are pretty much always way off base. He should stay on the rant with the rest of the tards. His football iq isn't any higher than the roughneck with wal-mart toonces tee that wants Miles fired and thinks j lee is transferring to follow Peveto.

You dont have to be a top 25 recruit to get an offer from an SEC school.

And I never said he was a top 25 national recruit.

Dont crawfish now.

LSU has offered much worse CB's coming out of HS.


You just said he wouldn't get any SEC offers. Are you firm on that stance?

WTF are you talking about. Where did I say that? I said that I didn't think LSU was going to make an early offer to him. Somehow you interpret that to Alabama is the only school that is going to offer him. He is not some clear cut talent above the rest that is going to get an early offer from LSU. LSU is going to evaluate him, maybe have him in to a camp, and see where it goes. I'm not saying he has no talent. Personally from what I've seen of him, which is probably about 4 games, I don't think he is one of the very top players in the state. Maybe next season he develops into one. Apparantly we feel about the same because you say

i would say he is somewhat better than mediocre. He will probably be SEC level player but possibly not LSU/USC/FLA/Texas level material. Are you firm on that stance? I agree to disagree.
