Man Craig Loston was bad, how was he a 5 star jeez

Injuries and put on some bad weight. Some of the more impressive HS film I've ever seen

quote:

It's an NFL roster compared to the 2008 class. It's Patrick Peterson, Brandon Taylor, and then a whole lot of disappointment. Jordan Jefferson is the 3rd best player of that class based upon later performance.

---

Alex Hurst was all SEC his junior year and Ryan Baker was fine but that is a pretty fair take on the class.

quote:

---

6 guys in 2012 class in NFL with a few more from that class this year. The class as a whole may not have panned out great while at LSU but to have 6 (probably 8) from that class in the league is damn strong

More like 10

Some of your bold choices are very odd. You bold Russel Gage, but leave out players who have played far more than a few receptions in one game.

I just looked again and don't see any obvious misses. I guess I could bold Travis Dickson and Travonte Valentine?

Who are you thinking of? Gage at least scored a touchdown in his career.

ETA: Also bolded Dodd because he's played quite a few snaps at center.

Karnell Hatcher laughs at this.

Just to clear it up, as mentioned before, there are 8 players from the 2012 class currently on NFL rosters. Lamar Louis was cut from the Saints practice squad last week and was immediately picked up by the Ravens (currently on their active roster).

Lamar Louis -- ATH -- 4 Stars
Danielle Hunter -- DE -- 4 Stars
Vadal Alexander -- OL -- 4 Stars
Kwon Alexander -- LB -- 4 Stars
Dillon Gordon -- TE -- 3 Stars
Jerald Hawkins -- OL -- 3 Stars
Jalen Mills -- DB -- 3 Stars
Deion Jones -- LB -- 3 Stars

Russell Shepard -- QB -- 5 Stars

And nary a pass was thrown,

Wonder how the Miles to Michigan talk influenced the 2008 class.
