re: QB Recruiting - The Reality

A little commentary:
I sat in the end zone for the bowl game and LSU warmed up in front of me so I watched the QBs very closely. Cam was conducting warmup drills and he was very intense. As were the QBs going through the drills so spare me the "bowl game didn't matter" comments because it does matter

Harris is so much better than everyone else it is scary. I just think the game s still too fast for him at times and that gets fixed with reps and more reps

Jennings has a weird follow through on his ball like JJ did where his ball consistently "noses down" in flight. That is a flaw that makes it hard to be accurate and also hard to catch the football.

McMillan is still very thin, his footwork is very choppy and he has an awkward throwing motion. His release point was all over the place and on longer throws he sort of "shoulders it" it out there instead of firing it

Taking QBs is crucial to LSU because it is clear the learning curve of half shotgun and half under center is very very steep. So you have to have numbers to select the wheat from the chaff.

Interesting commentary.

So wait till the position is vacant and bring in a freshman.

because that would be what we would be doing if we don't sign a QB this class?

I wanted my boys to be lock down corners when they grow up like dad. I think we might start working on some dropbacks this week tho lol . He'll commit as soon as offered, grades are awesome, 1st grade reading on a 3rd grade level so I figure he'll be able to read A&M's defense soon.

So your argument is that Harris is going to turn the corner in his junior season so we're ok, and by the time he leaves we'll have a true sophomore ready? You don't understand the issue there?

Watson is the exception, not the rule. McMillan will be a RS-junior but who's to say he waits that long or turns out to be a SEC QB? It can't be said enough, you have to recruit more QBs than you will ever play because inevitably over half of them will transfer or suck. It's just the way it is. LSU has to take a QB this year AND next year even if they aren't "elite" prospects.


ETA: it's ironic you named your thread "The Reality", because it's unrealistic to assume every QB LSU signs will eventually develop into a capable starter. The "reality" is the majority of them won't, and that needs to be mitigated by signing one every year.

Holding opponents to much less than 14 points per game is asking a lot.

Kliff Kingsberry can scout QBs he also scouted/recruited baker mayfield, who had no real offers and was a walkon at TTech our staff has hit on 0 QBs of that caliber out of HS. our staff just doesn't have the same sort of track record

Texas Tech's dude got one offer.

A Tulane qb who wouldn't have started so he transferred????? Get out of here
