re: Keytaon Thompson Going Off in 5A Championship

Key Thompson already has a championship ring on per 870AM

Yea I saw that too.

I was thinking damn that was fast.

Those rings are from Basketball

Yeah. I don't watch much. He was terrible tonight. 457 total yards and 6 touchdowns, but Jordan Jefferson was better.

Don't count the West Monroe Rebels out.
Or as Lee Corso would say, " Not so fast my friend."
I have seen the talent from numerous middle school teams around West Monroe and as freshmen last yr. I would NOT be surprised if the Rebels were back in the Dome 2 out of the next 3 yrs. Hats off to LW and the very talented team they had this yr. West Monroe has been in a drought for the last few yrs. and they returned this yr. to start another run. Some of their better talented players were sophomores this

Not counting them out. They have promise. There are a few other 5As loaded with young talent.

Dan Mullen told the Landry staff over the summer that Thompson was the best combo QB that he had ever committed that is a pretty big statement!

We are not getting the kid no matter what we do it's just way too late.Blame Miles for this.Also Landy has two or three Jr skill guys that already have many D1 offers.

I had been wanting him since before he committed to Miss St, but after we got Brennan, I thought it was over. He is the exact type of QB that Dan Mullen likes, and will perform real well there. Really wish we had a shot at him.

The dude is very innacurate. Believe he passed for right at 50% or a little below. Don't want. Give me a qb that can pass the ball

Nick Fitzgerald threw for 42% his senior year of high school. He had 671 yards passing. Mullen has a lot of flaws as a coach but developing quarterbacks is not one of them. Keytaon won't have to start until his redshirt sophomore year, which will give him plenty of time to develop. Also helps a lot that he is an EE and will get an extra spring practice.

I watched Thompson's games yesterday and half of his snaps that he took off running was because he was making a play out of a potential disaster. Every other snap was way too high and to the left. He had to jump to get it. Timing in everything in a scheme that uses zone read options.

It seems some people will look for a flaw in some of these kids based on what they look like. Every QB that looks like BH or JJ won't end up like them. Some will actually get good coaching. Did you see Brennan yesterday? He was pressured too, but he did not have the same outcome.

Be interesting to see this kid light us and half of the bashers wish we had him.

He's the closest to Cam I've ever seen. He's the best dual threat HS QB I've watched.

passed-on or 2nd hand observation here, but a friend of mine who attended every game of his (works the games as a cop) basically said the same thing. If there's something other than size/physical build causing people to say such things then by all means pursue him, even if late to the game, please.

CEO has a built-in excuse that might work in that case and that's recruiting policy has changed regarding QBs with the change in coaches. True or not, that's the beginning of the pitch.

Here's the thing I both hate to admit and scares the shite out of me...

Who has been a better evaluator of QBs (assume all need development): MSU or LSU?

The part that bugs the hell out of me actually is I can't stand the philosophy of 'if Coach A is high on him, he must be good'. It just might apply here. It makes me sick to says if Mullen thinks he's that good, go with it.
