They are comparable in size and speed (according to rivals) coming out of high school. How can you state that as being a fact?

Willis was 6-2 220lbs and ran a 4.6
Johnson is 6-3 235lbs and runs a 4.63

Yeah, sorry, him too. He's just not coming here sans a miracle.

I'll likely get blasted but I do hope that Fleming can come in on a track scholarship then pick up with football in a year.

He's perhaps the best athlete in the state and I know he has a history of some really bad decisions but it sounds like he has made some good moves and worked to correct his life.

I don't see the harm in bringing him in on a track scholarship. That puts him in a college town on campus and forces him to continue to prove he's shaken his background off.

He and Briggs are the two that I would hope we could bring in with greyshirts or walk-ons or whatever outside of Rasco.

Plenty... When they're being a stepping stone and looking foolish against the rest of the SEC.

Some of you guys act like he's going to play in Russia. He'll be fine. Wish he was coming to LSU but he'll be fine.

There's some type of a chance there, I just doubt it happens.

this doesnt make much sense on the surface

but, different kids value different things i guess. to be honest, i'd rather him go waste his career at ole miss than at a real school where he could hurt us...and i dont mean that in mean or hateful way

It definitely won't be a Justin Vincent running at him that's for sure

Also, just means one more LA LBer in 2012 won't be leaving the state

Have to say amen to that DBG. He can have a great game against us (a'la Pat Willis) at OM and not really effect the final score that much. The same kind of performance at 'Bama, AU, MSU or UF could be enough to turn the tide, no pun intended.

what does that say about his character again?


Surrounding himself with people he feels comfortable with is more important to him than winning national titles.


if that is what his decision is about, its a commendable one. Not everyone is out for the spotlight and the big stage.
