re: Armand Williams wasn't a huge recruit, but what's going on?

i just don't understand dogging someone for being an LSU fan, no matter what their affiliation. if the OP's point is stupid, then calling him out on it is legit, but i can't see how cannibalizing our own is a good thing. save the hate for the bammers, grinders, etc.

Armand is 6 3, weight 205, 4.4 40, 62-63 vertical. Had offer from Bobby Petrino, accepted offer. Was offered very late by LSU, committed to LSU because it was his life long dream to play for LSU. Obviously Petrino knows Offensive player talent as well women. Go to Dandy Don today and u can see what the problem is ... Offensive rankings for the past 3 years. Armand is also ahead of schedule to graduate. I am a close personal friend. He has a tremendous work ethic, if cannot develop players like Armand you got issues!!!

Not reading the entire thread so don't know if it has been posted yet. I know people close to his situation and what I have been told is that Miles told him he will never play and should leave. If he would like to stay he will honor his scholarship but he will not be on the field..

If true, that would be very disappointing.

You aren't very close friends with him if you think he has a 62 inch vertical.

As for that vertical that was posted, I believe he was speaking in high-jump terms, as in track.

People making comments on this board about Armand do not have their facts straight.

Armand wants to play ... He is not on a free ride ... he works his butt off everyday.
The offense which Les Miles owns ... has been ranked no higher than the mid 80's for the past 3 years. If you think that is good enough for $4MM a year ... God Bless you ... You got issues!!!

Really ??? ... and how would you know that? Have you seen this during the games?

Oh and all our other WR have caught the ball consistently all year? Right?

Lafell, Byrd, Ware(kind of), Hilliard, Tolliver, Scott, Williams, every offensive lineman in the past 4 years besides maybe 2, Beckham, Peterson, and every QB got worse or have gotten worse so far in their careers under Miles.

LaFell- easily got better while at LSU (3rd round draft pick)
Byrd - came in good and left good, sucks about his crash right before the draft otherwise he would've been 3rd rounder many thought
Ware - better now than when he came in
Hilliard - still has 2 years left. Hasn't regressed, just had others getting the touches. (5.7 ypc in 2012). Verdict still out
Tolliver - dropped way too many passes. Never really became the WR we all thought he could be.
Scott - easily got better under Miles. Had 1200 yds his junior year, split time with Keiland and got injured his senior year.
D. Williams - he was scared to get hit and never had a QB that could consistently throw the ball well.
Beckham - good last year, good this year. still has 1-2 more years, too early to tell.
OL - can't remember all the OL that have played here, but I know our OL as a unit was pretty beastly in 2011. I wouldn't say any of those guys walked into LSU that good.
QBs - J. Russell had 2 years under Miles and was better when he left, M. Flynn had 3 years under Miles and was better when he left, J.Lee had 5 years under Miles and was head and shoulders better when he left, JJ plateau'd early in his career and never improved significantly from his Sophomore year, Mett has had 2 years under Miles and the verdict is still out, although I would argue he made progress througout this year, we really need to see how he performs next year to determine if he really got better.


See it isn't as bad as some people think.
