Per @footballscoop , LSU losing Director of Player Personnel Sherman Morris to AZ State. Big loss for recruiting efforts

@ATVS_ChefBilly
@KrisBrauner @footballscoop Also interesting because Todd Graham already had some La. recruiting ties that he used at Tulsa/Pitt in the past


quote:

@KrisBrauner
@ATVS_ChefBilly @footballscoop ASU definitely recruiting LA hard lately. Some of that was due to Larry Porter but continuing now without him


Can anyone shed some light on what the director of player personnel does for the most part?

Some tweets about Morris from Football Scoop's twitter:

quote:

@footballscoop: Morris, working closely w Frank Wilson, largely ran recruiting RT @jigs832: @footballscoop How so? What were his responsibilities at LSU?


quote:

@footballscoop: LSU will reload; but Arizona State hiring Sherman Morris away is a strong move by Todd Graham. Sherman was an important part of LSU's run


quote:

@footballscoop: Morris did all the behind the scenes stuff the public doesn't see. He will be missed; but the program will reload

In short, he helps in recruiting and/or player retention. In bigger programs, they are more of a "recruiting coordinator" than the coach that is labeled that. They keep tabs on: what coaches are covering what schools, what kiddos come across his desk (recruiting tapes, transcripts, etc), relationships with HS coaches and recruiting gurus, etc. They also might disseminate what kids are targets (weed through game tapes and measurables, check with position coaches on what they are looking for, etc) For those that also have player retention duties, they sort of keep an eye on the current roster and help make sure kids are happy and making the right decisions.....

No more of a loss than Lunda Wells before him.

When we're worried about this kinda sh!t it shows us that our fanbase either lacks focus completely or that the fanbase at large doesn't know WTF its seeing when it reads a Tweet like this.

This is an administrative position.

Oh and before anyone says anything else, I don't trust JV25 in this role, either. Vincent hasn't shown capability in any capacity to handle the administrative requirements of these positions.

I hope he gets his Master's & starts somewhere, but he isn't ready for this job.

If he gets promoted to DPP, every kid on the team will have as many pairs of shoes as Jordan Jefferson did, but they'll all be Sperry's.

I know, I laughed my arse off when your brother told me that.

And, it's the only reason you have any class...the law made you that way.
