Impossible to do now. Im-friggin'-possible.

No they weren't. Liggins was never ever coming here. The signing was a gesture of kindness, a ritual if you will. He was never going to be here. Ever. Ever ever ever.

Now one of the returners is named Bolden instead of Liggins.

serious question(s) for you...
how many years have you been PAID to do talent evaluations??
how much football (other than your child's (assuming you have children) shitty 7-8 year old pee wee team) have you coached in your life??
have you ever played football before??
do you study the rules/regulations regarding schlorships and the limitations on signing a certain amount of recreuits??
please answer promptly, i am anxiously awaiting your answers

It was not about him doing something positive, it was about your claim of Miles' bad decision and loss of a spot. My point was to consider the lost spot one where a recruit did not pan out. In other words, it will not negatively impact LSU's success. So the onus is on you to show where the spot was not available to someone we lost, who subsequently excels elsewhere at a school similar to LSU and would have excelled at LSU.

Yea I'm not reading through 12 pages of this...
I'm pretty shocked, I don't know whether a good or bad shock. My initial reaction is I'm a little worried about the progress of Rivers/Randall, but also it's pretty great we have a JR backup with big game experience now. Hopefully with great talent around him, a very good coaching staff, he can somewhat live up to his talent, even if it's just as a situational player 3-4 times a game. 7 td's to 14 int's is putrid, but a lot of those came when he was young.

He was worse as a Soph than a Frosh. He threw the same amount of INTs both years, but had 5 tds as a frosh.

True...Sophomore slump? 
I remember watching him vs Alabama and not being impressed at all. However, I think he can get bigger and stronger, have better talent around, better coaches and become a nice backup. We're spoiled because he's 100% not coming here to start, just to backup. We're always gonna be a run first team and let's be honest, is he actually worse than JJ? I'd like to think not, but then again who knows...

seriously, a wasted schollie on someone who will only be for probably 2 yrs, is a bad decision. i cant frickn predict the future and tell you who wont we wont get b/c of this...but wasting a schol on anyone is a bad decision. to add, its more than likely to cost a spot in what is being touted as lsu's best class ever

Good, cause there's no need to waste time talking to a miserable fricking douche like you.
There's a difference between not understanding something and not knowing something. Belive it or not, not everyone has read all of your brilliant insightful analysis or all the pages of this thread.
One thing on twitter said he would count toward 2012 since we didn't sign 25.

Dude...it's towards the '12 class...AKA the one that already happened. It's not wasted when your backup QB's are RS Fr and have no game experience. Obviously the kid is a talent. He's sucked at PSU, but there could be hundreds of reasons for that. He was a very good prospect coming out, will have an upgrade in coaching staff, and in talent...it's a good move actually. He's here as an insurance policy in case Mett gets hurt. I'd rather Bolden as our backup than Rivers.

One. Spot. That could be a player that doesn't qualify, reneges on his commitment...all sorts of stuff.

It's ridiculous to think the full 25-man class would all be impact players.

if doesnt contribute its a bad decision. if takes away mop up duty f/ a future starter, its a bad decision. this is all imo (ob iously, i shuldnt have state). i dont think its good decision to take a qb a month b4 the season starts, who doesnt have 5 yrs to play four, and has already shown lack of d1 qb talent. id rather use the schollie on an xtra o or d lineman next yr

The part that he doesn't get, is that a schol gets "wasted" every year, since players don't pan out, flame out, quit etc.
Next he doesn't appreciate the irony of saying he can't predict the future, while at the same time claiming its a wasted scholarship.
Posted on 7/30/12 at 11:26 am to H-Town Tiger
Oh and Derek Ponamsky on 104.5 just said it would not count against next year's class since we are not at 85 right now.

What do we lose by getting him?
Nothing...he might work out and then again, he might not. Pretty much like any other guy who comes in.
He probably will see little to no time this coming season.
It's much to do bout nothing.

Yea I highly disagree with this. Not saying he's a world record holder, but without looking it up name a WR he was throwing to? The only person anyone knows from that team is Redd because he was a good RB. PSU has had offensive talent in a long time. Hell, his head coach didn't do a thing. I know other guy's coached, called plays, worked them out, but that hinders your growth IMO when the head coach literally does nothing. I expect Bolden to do well here...as a backup.

He's an insurance policy in case Mett gets hurt...to say it's terrible, a waste of a scholly, is ridiculous.

that means we could of taken 26 this yr and backcounted an ee. now we'll take 25 plus this guy or 26 and count him against nxt yrs class. either way, im happy yall think this will be to lsu's benefit...we'll hafta agree to disagree on that

expirienced back up is contributing. Like your auto insurence, its a success if you don't use it.

1) we don't really give QB's a lot "mop up" time as it is, but taking a couple of handoff's away is really not hurting Rivers/Randall's development.
2) I suspect the prefered furture starter is not on campus yet and won't be until Rettig/Jennings get here.
