"#LSU Davon Godchaux praises Travonte Valentine, but quickly adds "everyone has to work for their spot". Tigers still awaiting his arrival." -Doucet

Can this guy please be checked in and start practicing already?!!

***EDIT MORE INFO:
More updates fellas

#LSU Davon Godchaux worked out with Travonte Valentine "a couple of weeks ago" + says "he's looking pretty good. We'll be glad to have him."

#LSU Davon Godchaux says Travonte Valentine "the ideal size" to play nose guard, thinks he's weighing 330-335 lbs.

The main thing with Travonte is he matured a lot. He matured a lot + is ready to play some football. #LSU Davon Godchaux.

ALL BY DOUCET

UPDATE: The unicorn has been spotted. It's confirmed

Davon has never seen Valentine on a football field. Don't know how he could praise his high school performance and how it will translate to the SEC. Was there a link?

They didn't practice together in 2014?

-Valentine has practiced/scrimmaged here, multiple players have spoken about going up against him.
-Valentine and Godchaux were same signing class

Nope, TV was cleared by the NCAA but never cleared by the SEC. That is why LSU made sure he would be able to play this year.

Valentine joined the team in October and has been practicing but was not eligible to play.

He was never cleared to play in a game, but he practiced with the team. So Godchaux has seen him play.

Plus him and Trey L went to the same JUCO. Where Trey was above Valentine, who had pedestrian results against JUCO players. Yet he's assumed to be a 1-and-done at LSU before ever taking a snap here.

What?

He practice against the first team line and they couldn't stop him.... That was paraphrased from Orgeron.

I don't think the article confirms your bullshite article title.

Yes but unfortunately for Davon's praise, TV played for:
quote:

Valentine has three years of eligibility remaining, but he'll be eligible for the NFL draft in the spring. He's spent the last year at two junior colleges – Arizona Western and Mississippi Gulf Coast Community College.
.

Last year was 2015.

He was a 2014 recruit and played at community colleges in 2015.

I love when people are clearly wrong but refuse to admit it and spiral out of control.

Article was from December of 2014 (before CC), my "bullshite article title" is copy and pasted from the actual article

quote:

You do know that 2014 recruits were freshman in 2014 right? Kind of like Key and Toliver were 2015 recruits starting on our 2015 defense. Valentine playing at a CC in 2015 would be his second year out of highschool.
He was on LSU campus taking classes and practicing with the team during the 2014 season. He was just ineligible to play in games

Well by-god, that means LSU will win the national championship if Davon says he is that good. I wonder if LSU wins consecutive NC's or if it will be every other year for the foreseeable future.

You thought you were right, were clearly wrong, so now you go to bashing the people who proved you wrong. Seems legit.

You just doubled down on a 2/7 hand, then claimed the game was rigged when you got beat

Basically you're a giant anus
