On3 5-star Countdown: No. 12, WR Shelton Sampson

Surely, and I mean surely he has to see the opportunity to immediately come in and play a good role before being entrusted as the go to guy in sophomore season right?

Boutte will be gone next year, our all world 2021 WR class will be juniors and a few of them may go pro.

Sampson will be the go to in 2024. Surely

But NIL and such

That hasn't paid off for LSU lately. Seems like the closer they are the faster they leave.

Shouldn’t have ran off Tommy… they’re going to “eye for an eye” us lol

Yeah, but this isn't a recent issue. It has been a problem for years even when Miles was here. Anyone remember guys like Williams leaving for Bama and being very productive for them? He was basically sitting on LSU's campus and just left. For some reason we can't recruit the blue chips sitting on LSU's doorstep. It feels like we strike out more often than we don't like they can't wait to get out of there.

If you can find a better WR in the country show me. Shelton Sampson stop the noise I would take him over Manning in a heart beat.

Williams case is slightly different. His offer was rescinded late in the cycle. Under much speculation a commitment was attempted. He didn't just leave per se. He was told he wasn't welcome. Mistake, probably, but it was what it was.

I watched the state championship game against Jesuit, and #6 for Jesuit was the most dynamic WR on the field and it wasn't really close either. Granted their QB was much better than Catholics but I was expecting Sampson to be what Jesuit's #6 was... I know I'll get killed for this take, but very shocked he is a 5*.

Yall are hilarious with this, and by yall I mean everybody that says stuff like this about any high profile recruit in the country. About 9/10 times the guy you thought was so great does absolutely nothing and the guy you didn't think was great dominates college. It's always funny to be around people who are like, "I played against him, he didn't do shite when played us". Well is the motherfricker the Incredible Hulk? Is he supposed to be unstoppable at 17/18? Is he never supposed to have an off game?

Now if he's consistently bad like Haynes King was, that's one thing, but the one game you saw proves nothing.


On another note, what does an 86 mean on ESPN? That seems ridiculous. A 93 from 247 is also bad. I remember thinking it was insane for the composite ranking Derrius Guice as the #5 RB. It was like they were blind to his film. Always thought that that he was the #1 RB in that class. Well 2 years later, 1820 yards at 7.8 ypc and 19 total as the #2 to Fournette, they did a reranking and he was ranked as the #5 recruit in that class. It wasn't one of those recruits where he never showed this in high school. No he really ran like that on high school tape. Dude ran like the Tasmanian Devil
