re: NOLA Nifty 50 2016

I know Devin White can play RB, but it seems like an unusually down year for the position in the state. Very interesting, who are LSU's top targets at the position for this class?

We really have no need for more RBs, I wouldnt be surprised if we are recruiting him almost exclusively at LB, but telling him he can move to RB if he doesnt work out at LB.

One thing is for sure, he is a bonafide football player!!!!! I agreed, its stacked at RB already!!!

I talked to one of his teammates and allegedly Mizzou has been looking at him. Problem with him is he has no seed offers. What D1 school wants to be the only offer posted? Makes the gurus question your judgement...

I went to Zachary for most of High School. Team underachieved a lot before he got there. Scott really has carried that team and brought it to where they've went. And I was at the game when he played Brandon Harris, it was one hell of a game.

Acadiana in the semi's and idk if he was hurt but he didn't play very well. He had a great Oline and had time to throw. Didn't complete too many passes and threw 3 ints. Seemed timid when he did take off, but he did have some wheels on him. If he is that good he will go somewhere and shine and not worry about not being in the top 50 in a very loaded class. Just my 2 cents.

Scott threw 2 interceptions (not 3). 1st one came at start of 4th qtr. The last one occurred from his own 10 with 1:10 left in the game. The drive before that, he actually led Zachary on an 80 yd drive with 4 mins left, all with his legs and arm. He Avoided a sack in his own endzone and completed a pass. 2 plays later scampered for 30+ plus yards into Acadiana territory. ran the ball again to set up 4th and short from the Acadiana 26. He then completed a pass on 4th down to make 1st and 10 (from the 23) with more than 4 mins on the clock. Zachary squandered that game winning opportunity on 2 and 8, with a double pass/lateral to the WR. WR threw a pick from the 22. In the end, Zachary was a passing team, whose leading rusher was its QB. They wasted to much time with too many unsuccessful zone read attempts and bubbles screens.

Wow, did not know that. That's pretty sad if you can't get a 2.0 and a 18 on the ACT (it might even be lower than that).

Sure is, the kid was really talented too. I just looked up his stats and he did pretty well in JUCO. He was accounting for 250 yards a game at East Central which was more than Mettenburger who was at Butler at the time.

I assume after he was done at JUCO he still didn't have the grades to play or was unwilling to switch positions. I remember bigger schools like Mississippi State were recruiting him as a DB.

NOLA Nifty 50 2016 Ah so it was a halfback pass that was intercepted. Still, I'm not judging him by one game but it did seem like, in that game anyway, he was much more dangerous with his feet. He was off on a lot of his throws but then again its only one game. I hope he gets to play in college somewhere

---

Can't argue with what you saw. Offense just didn't produce. 6 dropped passes on the night. No run game. Kinda hard to judge anyone versus arguably the top defense in the state. As said by Getmorewithles, but for his body of work, the semi-finals never happens. I hope he gets his shot too. Ivy League caliber student. He'll be fine either way.

quote: 10. Malcom Roach, ATH, 6-3, 245, Madison Prep 9. Mykel Jones, WR, 6-0, 180, Patterson 8. Willie Allen, OL, 6-6, 275, John Curtis 7. Syheim Carter, ATH, 5-11, 185, Kentwood watched his video and they are pretty impressive. NO stars on 247 or composite stars. LB, our main position of need (along with DT). Ranked way a head of quote: 19. Michael Divinity, LB, 6-2, 200, John Ehret at least by Smith, and much bigger and better highlights. Why is he so under the radar, not even listed on the recruiting tracker? Seems like exactly what we need at LB. Whats the knock on him that there seems to be no interest in him by the board and by recruiting sites. It's just one dudes opinion (smiths) but he does devote more of his time than the average person, gets published by a local newspaper and partly get paid for his evals of these guys.

Roach is a beast! Recruiting trail is just going to have to catch up with him. And it will. He'll have more than his fair share of collegiate suitors. Then the websites and stars will follow.

He looks better than all these Livonia kids everybody wants us to offer so bad.

I like Willie Baker's film, but I agree for the most part.
