re: What’s LSU’s reluctance to give a good look at Mandeville’s Nate Sheppard?

More scholarship players = most chances to have & develop better players.
A lot of the state kids will give you at least two seasons, too. That is valuable

First thousand yard back from Evangel?

I agree Lester, and this higher limit will help the blue blood programs. A bunch of kids really grow and develop after high school, and quite often the 4-5* kids have reached their limit or don't have the drive to improve much.

I don’t get why fans care if LSU has 8 RBs. It doesn’t hurt anything lol

I'll take your word that it was sarcasm and not the dumbest thing you could think of to post. However, I genuinely would like to know to which of Lester's post was this brilliant witticism a response?

Maybe they have taken a good look

We've always had close to this many, some were just walk ons. Point in the end is you're not going to keep 8 scholarship RBs happy, which just goes back to why did the NCAA feel the need to increase the scholly limit from 85 to 105 when 85 was already clearly way too many with how many hit the portal for lack of playing time.
Sure, lets put 10 scholly RBs on the roster, 5 will just probably transfer out each time. How much worse can we possibly make the sport basically.

Not saying this is the case for Nate but the Northshore isn't know for producing great football talent- if he played on the south shore he'd probably have some bigger/better offers. Heck - Matt Forte was only a 2 star when he came out of Slidell.

LSU has a white WR from the same school and Sheppard brother will be in the nfl next year

Scholarships are quickly a thing of the past anyways with NIL for the bigger players at least.
By make the sport worse I clearly meant for the people who support it. Do we really like the fact we're detaching from "college" as much as possible more and more? Instead of a dozen or two player shitting the portal now we'll have three dozen each offseason due to 1/3 of the team getting zero playing time.
Why not go ahead and make it 150 scholarships per school, no big deal, we'll just have 15 scholarship RBs where 10 hit the portal each offseason
I just really dont understand the move to 105 scholarships, it made zero sense with how little playing time so many guys currently get as it is. If thats just to award more walk on types scholarships, then great, and would make sense. Guys who arent looking to portal to the next best thing and just happy to be here and have that scholly now...how I think many schools will treat the 105 expansion. For the folks clamoring for us to have 8 scholarship RBs because we can now, well, I hope you're ready for even more huge turnover each season with guys who want to play but literally cant because there snot enough playing time to go around as it is. I dont think that "model" will last very long.

Edgerrin Cooper did well.

I was riding hard for Edgerin cooper. He was popping people in high school.

That dude was just different out on the field. Got to watch him play a few HS games.

Seems like a potentially historic year at running back in-state

Because he’d be playing future college football players & not future kappa sigs and sigma nus.

Hey man I was a KA from that district thank you very much

That’s not the point. If you have 10 RBs, you will end up with the best 5 or you should end up with 5 really good backs. Not only that but once the stats get out there about how many transfers don’t make it after transferring compared to staying at their original school then the transfer issue will subside a little.
Especially for the schools who routinely produce NFL players. All LSU has to do is show these kids and parents the numbers on when players leave LSU vs when players stay at LSU or transfer into LSU.

Those stats are skewed because not all transfers are the players choice
