I can tell its August and just a few weeks until the start of the season. This board has become a giant PMS zone.

LSU is going to regret not offering Tony Hurd IMO. I think he'll be a good one, despite his size.


They saw him several times this summer, but there are other guys higher on the board including McKnight.

So, was Lewis' offer a commitable one? Who was higher on the list? Just Maclin?

Yeah, LSU definitely wanted Lewis, but they didn't want him enough to offer Hurd.

I would guess that the only guys that were rated above Lewis were Maclin and Corey Nelson.

So, they were a package deal?

And do we still have a shot with this kid?

What about Michael Taylor? I thought the staff was favoring him over Lewis?

As close to one as you're going to see.

You should never offer 1 guy just to get another.


agreed.

and like books said, they've seen him at camp 3 times over 2 summers and obviously felt mathieu was better.

i never understood the fascination over a 5'8 corner with average ability and speed anyway.

We dropped the ball on this one......BAD. Lewis is going to be an absolute STUD. Why not offer Hurd just to get Lewis? If anything, at wosrt, Hurd can be a career special teamer. He could have taken Houston Bates Scolly. Bates isn't going to be anything other than a Special teams guy. At least we would have gotten a future all-american out of it.


The Bates bashing needs to stop. The kid can rush the passer, something we need more of. People need to watch his videos.

Lewis is damn good, but he's also small. Shea said that Eric Reid is much bigger in person than Lewis is, for example. So if Reid moves to LB, which is a possibility IMO if Loston makes it in, then who's to say he doesn't make a better LB than Lewis?

And Books is right here. We had Hurd to both camps, and Mathieu got the schollie over him. Simply watch Mathieu's video and you'll know why.

I agree from the little footage i have seen Mathieu was a better pick up than Hurd was. I dont think we land Shaw but we still have some CB's on our board better than Hurd.

He said Shaun's decision today has no affect on him, and he still wants to take his official visits.
