Just watched film and my overall opinion.

Ish is highly overrated. everyone who watched him play live knows that. His recruitment was more about locking down the state especially from Bama.

Great post. Too much focus around here on the one(s) that got away instead of the ones that committed. They were never coming anyway.

Your post reinforces that LSU has an excellent/solid class. We need to be proud.

Couldn't stand Ish all along. I didn't talk crap on him because I think it's stupid to rag on high school kids, but I was very open in my belief that Ish was 100% gump all along.

And as stated above in this thread, it's true that Sop's recruitment was more about keeping N$ out than anything, although Ish would have added solid depth at a position of need. Thank the good Lord we got Ika.

Ish was more about potential and a high ceiling than anything. I wish him the best, as reality is about to slap him in the face. Lord Midget will not allow him to 1) Take plays off, as his film shows he does often, and 2) Be lazy, as many scouting services have reported his propensity towards highly questionable work ethic and attitude.

Good luck to him. He's going to need it. In the meantime, I'm going to celebrate this stellar class. Just a gut feeling, but I feel like Ika and Lee are going to be absolute superstars.

Nice post bro! The melters over look all of the previous 19 that already signed over ONE kid, who’s been wishy washy at best.

Future NFL talent in this class will include

Kardell Thomas
Marcel Brooks
Mo Hampton “if he sticks”
Apu Ika
Derek Stingley Jr
John Emery Jr
Tyrion Davis
Trey Palmer
Devonta Lee
Donte Starks


That’s insane rt there......

DL is already looking more than solid for 2020. If anyone is crying over Sop.....Just STOP

I respect the op’s post. Lots of good points... but you morons that keep saying Sopsher is overrated are being stupid. He was an absolute need in this class and you know it but whatever helps you cope.

Any DL was needed for depth, and that criticism should absolutely be hung on O for failing to address the DL depth.......

But all the major recruiting services actually were in agreement that he was overrated...hence his ranking drop......

I have thought for a while that Ish will eventually end up at Southeastern because he is undisciplined and will be eaten alive without a huge attitude adjustment.

I wish him the best because I'm just not a very vindictive person.

I posted this because all day 80% of the posts were about a player that peaked early, doesn't have good weight (honestly looks to have mostly bad weight), doesn't seem overly athletic or in cardiovascular shape, and like I said the whole announcement was strange. Think about this, who in the hell asks for help to put on a visor? I agree with many here stating that it's better optics to keep him in state. I personally didn't agree with 2 scholarships for a player who is falling in the rankings and I personally think he should have fallen more. By the way ESPN asked him several times about Rodney going to Alabama. Who knows, maybe he goes to Bama and wants to prove us wrong and lights it up but in my opinion he will not get the chance because Bamas defensive front class is sick. Also if shady dealing went on I wouldn't trust him. Did anyone see the current and former Auburn players, on Twitter, basically saying that Pickens took money? Where do you think Kirby learned his dirty tricks?

I hate to be tough on young people but my job is to provide feedback for a very large corporation so you can say I'm used to constructive criticism. In my opinion, Ish is the next Anthony "Freak" Johnson except that Freak actually appeared to try hard. Ish has entitled, lazy, and early development written all over him. His speach was terrible, why even bring politics into it.

This reminds me of the Hootie situation, I had a good friend who coached for Neville and he straight up told me that Hootie is no where near Sec quality and he was right. I promise this isn't sour grapes. Young or Moore would have been fantastic. I do think this gives a great recruiting advantage for next class as they could start day one.

I'm sick of the O bashers, I personally think with what I said about doing things the right way was a not so subtle jab at Alabama. I think the team is better off not having those types in the locker room.

We finished top 5 and could have easily been higher if we do not extend scholarships to both the Kicker and long snapper but I do feel that both of those are wise scholarships and I think Cade York may end up being similar to Cole Tracy with a significantly stronger leg.

So what's the consensus here, where does Davonta play? For some reason he is one of my favorite recruits and I think he is ranked entirely too low. The guy has everything, amazing work ethic, hit the genetic lottery, strong as an ox, and I just like him from interviews and everything I have seen. He reminds me of Debo Jones.

One last thing, I personally think Bo Davis should come here after his show cause expires. I know he's loyal to Saban but the dude fell on the sword and lost a job and drove trucks for a while all because he took all of the blame (frick Saban).

You bring up Stingley being the best you have seen and I don't disagree 100% but I have never seen a better CB highlight tape than Elias Ricks. I can't wait to see that kid play at LSU.

Im callin it! This class is going to help put a few more trophies in our trophy case.
