LSU's track record with instate WRs
Posted on 12/28/22 at 10:37 am

Following Miller's commitment to Colorado, LSU has never missed out any home grown receiver talent except Smith. Off the top of my head in the last 10 years -
Big miss
D Smith
Decent careers elsewhere
Coleman, Tyron Johnson, Kirk Merritt
Busts
Destyn Hill, Ja'Khi Douglas, Slade, Devonta Jason, Mykel Jones, Daylon Charlot, Speedy Noil, Cam Sims, Falkins
Yet to be seen
Preston, Decoldest
Anyone missing?

Depends on if Kendrick Law plays Wr. I am not really sure.

Would Slade Bolden really be considered a "bust"? He got significant PT for a pretty good team 2 states to the east, even as a freshman.

Law was seeing snaps at WR later on in the year for Bama.

Law played 5 games this season at WR, and was the only of the 3 WRs from the state that went to bama to contribute.

Wasn’t a “Big miss” We had Chase, Jets and Marshall.

About 700 receiving yards and 4 TDs in 4 years. Zero receptions/ yard as freshman. How do you classify that

Heisman winner in not a big miss?

We didnt have any of those Big 3 when Smith signed.

Keon Coleman has been a miss. But lsu gets most guys that they offer.

By all indications, Makiya Tongue is a name to add to the "bust" category at this point in his college career.
ETA: I don't know what category you would put these guys in because it ain't bust or miss:
1) Damonte Coxie was a beast in college at Memphis from 2017-2019. I believe this is the kid that was committed to LSU but had grade issues. Could be wrong though...
2) Stanley Morgan is another name I would add but unsure category. He had a pretty good career @ Nebraska before entering NFL.
3) Jazz Ferguson: didn't do much @ LSU, went off at NSU in 2018 before going to NFL.

I would classify Bolden as having a very successful football career, and so would nearly anybody else without P &G glasses on.
After red shirting he played three years, and was one of Bama's special team stars. He returned punts, played some QB as a wildcat QB and played a lot of WR with championship teams.
Not everybody is all-SEC.
I suspect he is happy with choosing Alabama, especially with LSU's collapse under Orgeron beginning after 2019.

Jets and Devonta were in the same signing class - 2017.
Devonta was a miss but it was certainly mitigated by the "big 3" as you put it.
Chris Henry from Belle Chasse played at WVU.

Bolden was certainly not a bust. He was a solid role player.
But in recruiting terms, I would not consider him a loss.

Exactly my point. Majority of the guys we want and get turn out to be productive. The ones we lost did not really do much elsewhere - talking only about their college production. LSU will be fine in the long run and Miller should not be a big loss.

Agree. And you could expand that beyond the WR position.

quote:Yeah playing a bunch of positions while barely doing anything at either really isn't a great career.

For example Russell Gage wasn't all SEC either. Gage was a kid that you could say was a guy without a position as well. The only difference between him and Bolden was that Gage had better talent. Neither did much in their college careers, but Gage is still playing in the NFL as a #3 WR. Will Bolden be doing that 6 years from now?
Seems like you feel some type of way about this.
